Abstract:
... Lepomis megalotis (Longear Sunfish) was first reported from North Carolina by Edward Drinker Cope in 1870, but its whereabouts in the state have been a mystery for almost 150 years. Published literature perpetuated the occurrence of Longear Sunfish and, eventually in 1986, its extirpation. Vouchered specimens from Cope's 1870 publication are not available, but specimens collected later (1930s to 1 ...

Abstract:
... Sand fences are a frequently used management tool on developed coastlines because they are inexpensive and easy to install. While the geomorphic effect of sand fences has been investigated before, previous studies have been limited in both temporal and spatial domains. Here, we present the evolution of Bogue Banks, a developed barrier island along the Outer Banks of North Carolina, over a 20-year ...

Abstract:
... In this paper we propose a jackknife method to determine individual and time effects in linear panel data models. We first show that when both the serial and cross-sectional correlations among the idiosyncratic error terms are weak, our jackknife method can pick up the correct model with probability approaching one (w.p.a.1). In the presence of moderate or strong degree of serial correlation, we m ...
