Comparing the diversity, geographic distribution, and intraspecific variation of subterranean termites (Reticulitermes: Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) occuring in woodlands and urban environments of Missouri using morphology and 16s mtDNA
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
. In urban environments they feed upon dead wood, and therefore infest and destroy man-made wooden structures. Missouri is considered to have a moderate risk for termite infestations when compared with the states of the southeast part of the country. Despite...

Comparative analysis of aquatic insect, amphipod, and isopod community composition along environmental gradients in rheocrene spring systems of Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Spring systems in Missouri harbor a unique biota and provide critical initial discharge from subterranean aquifers to streams. However, little research has been conducted on the crenobiology or ecology in these systems. In this study, aquatic insect...
Behavioral responses of drosophila suzukii (diptera: drosophilidae) to olfactory and visual cues
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
