--a primarily human driven disturbance both historically and currently--has with woodland flora communities in the Missouri Ozarks. Fire is currently used as a major management tool to restore woodland communities in the Ozarks. I then turn to an exploration...
Interactions between neuroanatomy, cognition, and ecology in Anolis lizards
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
, such as in dispersal to islands, biotic invasions, and urban adaptation. Cognitive specializations may also be associated with specific ecological traits, such as habitat complexity. Furthermore, our understanding of the neural substrates of cognition in the brain...
Tales of an 'invisible' life stage : survival and physiology among terrestrial juvenile ambystomatid salamanders
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
of the many amphibian species for which stage-specific data are lacking. Next, I reared larvae of five species (A. annulatum, A. maculatum, A. opacum, A. talpoideum, and A. texanum) from populations along an ~200 km latitudinal gradient in Missouri, USA...
