Turning up the heat: fire ecology and climate adaptive silviculture in longleaf pine forests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Frequent fire is required to maintain the characteristic structure, function, and high biodiversity of longleaf pine woodlands. Longleaf pine regeneration is exposed to this frequent fire, yet persists as both patches and ...
Tales of an 'invisible' life stage : survival and physiology among terrestrial juvenile ambystomatid salamanders
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
of the many amphibian species for which stage-specific data are lacking. Next, I reared larvae of five species (A. annulatum, A. maculatum, A. opacum, A. talpoideum, and A. texanum) from populations along an ~200 km latitudinal gradient in Missouri, USA...

¹⁴C-DDT dynamics in a cold water model food chain
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1978)
The uptake, elimination, and metabolism of ¹⁴C-DDT in a maple leaf-scud-rainbow trout food chain was investigated using gas chromato graphy, liquid scintillation, and thin-layer chromatography-autoradiography. In this ...
