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...
Occupancy modeling of forest carnivores in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
My research used infrared remote cameras, trackplate boxes, and scat transects to survey for carnivores at 53 sites throughout the southern forested region of Missouri. Cameras and track-plates both detected Eastern spotted skunk (Spilogale putorius...
Nutrients and chlorophyll dynamics in Fort Cobb Reservoir
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Temporal patterns and variability of trophic state parameters in Missouri reservoirs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
experiments indicate that the nutrient limiting algal growth in Missouri reservoirs does not remain constant temporally, and that limitation of algal growth by a single nutrient is generally not acute....
Decision-making and demography of greater white-fronted geese
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI--COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Greater white-fronted geese (Anser albifrons) are Arctic-nesting waterfowl with breeding ranges distributed throughout the Arctic. Due to this broad distribution...
Relation of Missouri river flows to sandbar morphology with implications for selected biota
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
.e. an aquatic-terrestrial zone (ATTZ), within the main channel of the lower Missouri River. Predictive models of sandbar morphometry (area, wetted perimeter, elevation, and water-surface slope) were developed to determine how changes in discharge affect...
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)
Lake Sturgeon were nearly extirpated from Missouri by the 1970s leading the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) to list the species as endangered within the state. Recovery efforts commenced with the publication of the first edition...
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 ...
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...
Multi-scale factors influencing detection, site occupancy and resource use by foraging bats in the Ozark Highlands of Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Conservation of bat populations requires understanding the associations between bats and their use of resources. We used maximum likelihood to estimate probability of site occupancy using acoustic data for ten species of ...
The demography of Atlantic brant (Branta bernicla hrota)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
CRI 0.83, 0.94) and 0.70 (95 percent CRI 0.43, 0.92) respectively. Reported mortality probability for metal banded brant was 0.43 (95 percent CRI 0.31, 0.63) and for double color-marked brant was 0.55 (95 percent CRI 0.37, 0.87). The reported mortality...
Nutrients, chlorophyll and bacterial fecal indicators in coves and open water areas of Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Urban development and use of septic tanks in porous soils of Lake of the Ozarks poses a threat to public health via leaching into drinking wells and coves used for swimming. During 2 summers, phosphorus (TP), nitrogen (TN), ...
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...
