Coping with food vulnerability: the role of social networks in the lives of Missouri food pantry clients
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
This paper utilizes data from Coping with Hunger: Food Pantry Clients in the Central Missouri Food Bank Region (2005) to better understand the ways in which informal social networks are utilized by families and individuals coping with food...
Studies of ruminant digestion, ecology, and evolution
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
and the fossil record, to demonstrate the pattern of large BW within the Ruminantia is a response to nutritional resource limitations. Our final study recapitulates key points in the ecology and evolution of wild ruminants, then discusses how these points...
Evaluation of soy hulls as the principal ingredient in a beef cattle receiving ration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Adjusting cattle to grain based diets from predominately forage diets remains one of the production problems facing beef cattle producers. When cattle are introduced to grain based diets they have a tendency to experience ...

(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Objectives of this study were to determine effects of seasonal environment, top and bottom deck transport, transport duration, and time in lairage on overall pork quality and blood serum concentrations of the stress hormone ...
Experimentally assessing the influence of resource availability and social aggregation on the parasites of raccoons
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
raccoon populations were randomly subjected to differential resource provisions for two years; a clumped food distribution to aggregate hosts (n = 5 populations), a dispersed food distribution to control for the effects of food without aggregating hosts (n...
Prairie stream ecology : temporal and spatial patterns of macroinvertebrates
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
patches to enable recolonization of streams after disturbance. Leptophlebia konza Burian was thought to be restricted to its type locality of Konza Prairie, Kansas; however, a population was discovered at Hi Lonesome Prairie in Missouri during an extensive...
Three essays on phosphorus runoff and water quality
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Water pollution caused by nutrients, and the resulting eutrophication, have increased over time. This water pollution is increasingly caused by non-point source pollution, both...
Characterization of agroforestry feedstocks and their biochars and their effects on soil greenhouse gas emissions in a floodplain soil
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The temperature at which biochar (biocharcoal) is produced is a major factor that determines its chemical and structural characteristics. The objectives of this research were to assess the effects of feedstock source among ...
A study on the trade-off between supervision and wages: an empirical test of efficiency wage theory
