Periconceptional, gestational, and lactational exposure to unconventional oil and gas chemical mixture alters energy expenditure in adult female mice
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Unconventional oil and gas (UOG) processes involves injection of pressurized water, chemicals, and suspended solids thousands of feet under the surface ...
Seasonality and elevational migration in an Andean bird community
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
elevational gradients, known as altitudinal or elevational migration. Here I provide the first community-level assessment of avian elevational migration in South America. I used point counts, mist netting, focal observations of a mid-elevation mixed species...
Raptor and wading bird migration in Veracruz, Mexico : spatial and temporal dynamics, flight performance, and monitoring applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
This dissertation is organized in four chapters that deal with different aspects of my long-term studies of migratory raptors, vultures, and wading birds, in central Veracruz, Mexico, during the course of three spring and ...
The power of synteny : deep evolutionary insights from comparative genomics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Synteny, or the order of genes in a given genome, is an emergent property of individuals and species that has only, with the implementation of next gen-sequencing, become available for evolutionary consideration. In this ...
The blue light responses and lifetime fitness of a hyper-phototropic mutant in Arabidopsis thaliana and Zea mays
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Optimal plant growth and development hinges on the plant's ability to absorb sunlight. Because plants are sessile, they have evolved a variety of ...
