Does history repeat itself? : Impact of climate on floral resources for bumble bees then and now
Franklin, James Douglas (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014) -
Ecological conditions of secondary sexual dimorphism in salix glauca : fundamental and realized dimorphic niche
Dudley, Leah S., 1977- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)This thesis explores the dimorphic niche of ecological conditions hypothesis as the selective force behind secondary sexual dimorphism in Salix glauca, a dioecious willow shrub. The dimorphic niche hypothesis predicts trait ... -
Enhancement of plant vision to increase drought tolerance and bioproduction [abstract]
Holland, Jennifer J.; Celaya, R. Brandon, 1979-; Leuchtman, Daniel; Juenger, Thomas; Galen, Candace Elizabeth; Liscum, Emmanuel (2009)Energy needs of the worlds growing population have become central issues to policy and science discussion over the past few years. Not only are our non-renewable sources of energy being depleted at alarming rates, their ... -
Friends in high places : ecology of mycorrhizal associations in alpine plant communities
Becklin Atkinson, Katie M., 1981- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Mutualisms are ubiquitous in nature, yet these interactions often vary in strength and persistence. This variation raises the questions of what determines whether mutualisms persist or vanish, and how does variation in the ... -
How volume of water effects in morphological growth and number of endomycorrhizas on P. delicatum [abstract]
Han, Jun Ho; Galen, Candace Elizabeth (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)In alpine tundra plants, water is the most important environmental factor of plant growth. And the endomycorrhiza is the greatest symbiotic organism. Because, it provides Nitrogen and Phosphorus to the plants and it obtains ... -
The impacts of floral fragrances and ant contamination on pollinator behavioral responses
Todd, Sadie; Geib, Jennifer C., 1972-; Kaczorowski, Rainee L., 1976-; Galen, Candace Elizabeth (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)World economy, including agriculture and food production, is heavily dependant on animal pollination. For this reason, it is important to understand factors that mediate plant-pollinator interactions. We investigated ... -
The impacts of partner abundance on benefits from facultative pollination mutualism
Geib, Jennifer C., 1972- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Partner abundance affects costs and benefits in obligate mutualisms, but its role in facultative partnerships is less clear. I investigated this topic in a small alpine pollination web in the Colorado Rocky Mountains ... -
Natural variation in phenotypes associated with phototropins among geographically isolated populations of Arabidopsis thaliana [abstract]
Leuchtman, Daniel; Celaya, R. Brandon, 1979-; Wayne, Tierney; Juenger, Thomas; Galen, Candace Elizabeth; Liscum, Emmanuel (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)In Arabidopsis thaliana several phenotypes are controlled by blue light including chloroplast relocation movements and bending of the seedling stem in phototropism. These responses are controlled by the phototropins, phot1 ... -
Plant Adaptation to Drought --- Interdisciplinary Research at the University of Missouri [abstract]
Sharp, Bob (Robert E.); Fritschi, Felix B., 1969-; Galen, Candace Elizabeth; Kallenbach, Robert L.; Liscum, Emmanuel; Nguyen, Henry T.; Oliver, Melvin J.; Pallardy, Stephen G.; Shannon, J. Grover; Sleper, D. A.; Xiong, Xi (2009)Drought is the most important cause of crop failure in Missouri and limits plant productivity in large parts of the US and the world. Drought induces severe reductions in average annual crop yields on a regional scale and ... -
Variation in soil communities across a heterogeneous habitat
Pallo, Megan; Becklin Atkinson, Katie M., 1981-; Galen, Candace Elizabeth (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)Environmental variation can impact the distribution of species in ecological communities. In alpine communities willows (Salix sp.) significantly affect the conditions experienced by soil biota in understory verses open ...
