Amphibian metamorphosis and juvenile terrestrial performance following chronic cadmium exposure in the aquatic environment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
[mu]g Cd/L. The experimental endpoints were survival, mass and age at metamorphosis, and whole body Cd content. Both species had a decrease in survival and increase in larval period and Cd content with increasing aqueous Cd concentration. However...
Uncovering the genetic architecture and metabolic basis of amino acid composition in maize kernels using multi-omics integration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
composition display extensive natural variation which can be utilized to uncover the genetic basis and identify new targets for seed amino acids biofortification. Hence to uncover the genetic architecture of amino acids composition in maize kernels we used...
Behavioral choice and demographic consequences of wood frog habitat selection in response to land use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
, Missouri, and South Carolina are determining the effects of timber harvest on the persistence of amphibian populations. The purpose of my dissertation research was to define adult wood frog nonbreeding habitat in continuous oak-hickory forest...
