Roadway effects on the hydrologic regime of temporary wetlands in the Missouri River floodplain in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
on the hydrologic regime of temporary wetland basins within the agricultural landscape of the Missouri River floodplain from Hartsburg to Independence, Missouri. This study is part of a larger existing research project designed by the Missouri Department...
Nutrients, chlorophyll and bacterial fecal indicators in coves and open water areas of Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
the specificity of conventional fecal indicators (FC and EC). Discharges 3-4 times the average were recorded for both summers. Relationships between anthropogenic indices and water quality variables (TP, TN, Chl, FC and EC) were not apparent, likely because...
Distribution and abundance of anurans in southeast Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Studies were conducted on 15 1034 ha landscape blocks to investigate the effects of forest fragmentation and habitat availability on anuran populations. Detections of anurans did not indicate a correlation between the ...
Intraguild interactions between native and domestic carnivores in central India
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Bustard Sanctuary, Maharashtra, India and assessed resource selection based on landcover characteristics. Indian foxes chose for grassland habitats at the scale of both landscape and home-range level and avoided human-dominated areas such as agricultural...
River restoration in the upper Mississippi River Basin
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
River restoration has become an important management choice to address causes and effects of surface water impairment and river modification in the Upper Mississippi River Basin (UMRB). I report information on individual UMRB river restoration...
Nutrients and chlorophyll dynamics in Fort Cobb Reservoir
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Use of main channel and shallow-water habitat by larval fishes in the lower Missouri River
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
I developed a series of research objectives organized in a spatial hierarchy to characterize larval fish nursery habitat within the lower Missouri River. Native carpsucker spp./buffalo spp. (Carpiodes spp./Ictiobus spp.) and chub spp. (Macrhybopsis...
Enhancing bluegill production through least-cost diet development and novel rearing strategies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Amidst growing demand for large, food-size bluegill Lepomis macrochirus, lack of an affordable, balanced diet and inadequate rearing technologies remain the major concerns of bluegill producers seeking to run profitable ...
Movement, habitat use, and spawning characteristics of flathead and blue catfish on the lower Missouri River and tributaries
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The movement and habitat use patterns of adult flathead and blue catfish were studied via acoustic and radio telemetry in the lower Missouri River and adjacent tributaries including the Grand, Lamine, Chariton, and Little Chariton Rivers...
Development and validation of standardized sampling protocols for assessing freshwater mussel populations in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
step in assessing populations. We surveyed 14 sites in the Meramec River Basin in East-central Missouri to determine the effectiveness of visual sampling methods and to determine the effects of habitat variability on the effectiveness of these methods...
Avian nest survival and breeding density in cottonwood plantations and native forest fragments in southeast Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
I compared nest survival and breeding density between native bottomland forest and cottonwood (Populus deltoides) plantations over a three-year period for Acadian Flycatcher (Empidonax virescens), Prothonotary Warbler ...
Spatiotemporal variation in Lake Sturgeon movement and habitat selection in Missouri river tributaries : implications for the management and recovery of populations at range margins
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
over 3.5 years and 187 age-0 juvenile Lake Sturgeon during the fall/winter of two years. Missouri River tributaries were important habitats for adult and subadult Lake Sturgeon throughout the year. Lake Sturgeon use of the Osage River was greater in all...
Great Lakes lake trout early mortality syndrome (EMS) : contaminants, thiamin status, and their possible interaction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Michigan can result in sublethal physical lesions or behavioral alterations such as diminished C-start response. 2,3,7,8-TCDD caused significant adverse effects of both C-start behavior and feeding in rainbow trout and lake trout young. In addition...
