Investigation of transportation innovations for food delivery and truck platoons
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
discusses the novel issue of driver behavior interacting with truck platoons in work zones. This research investigates the effects of education, platoon signage, and the number of platooned trucks using a federated simulator study. The study found...
Restoration treatments and regeneration dynamics in East Texas mixed wood forests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
Extensive harvesting, fire exclusion, and plantation forestry altered composition and structure, and thus function and habitat values of east Texas Pineywoods uplands. Upland restoration efforts are made difficult by the ...

Delineation of critical management areas at plot, field, and watershed scales for claypan soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
and water quality and given rise to non-point source pollutants. The claypan soil region of Missouri has a high runoff potential that increases the possibility of transport of non-point source pollutants to downstream sites. The Agricultural Policy...

Agroforestry and cover crops for improving surface water and groundwater quality
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
Unsustainable agricultural practices and the rapid expansion of agricultural lands to satisfy the food demand of the growing world population have caused significant sediment, and nutrient losses from agricultural fields, harming the environment...

Cover crop effects on soil moisture dynamics & thermal properties
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
properties of a corn (Zea mays L.) cropping system. The study was conducted at the Elsberry Plant Material Center - USDA, Missouri, USA, with 1) no-till cover crop (NC), 2) conventional till no cover crop (CN), and 3) no-till no cover crop (NN) treatments. A...

Detection and modeling of bat species occupancy at multiple scales across a forested landscape in southeastern Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Populations of forest dwelling bats have been in decline in recent years, and have therefore become increasing foci in forestry research efforts. Difficulty in bat species...
Transaction costs and market thinness in crop byproduct markets
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Studies in crop byproduct literature have looked more at the nutrient impacts, rather than analytical cost implications of crop byproducts in livestock feed rations. Thin market studies stated the lack of product volume ...
The influence of body mass and body composition on bone functional adaptation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
The proposed dissertation follows a three article format. The articles are distinct, but each pertains to the same subject of research. The first article applies structural equation modeling to factors influencing bone functional morphology...
Resource extraction, resistance, and religion in Nicaragua
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
My dissertation examines the causes of protest over resource extraction in Nicaragua, and underlines the role of religion as a catalyst for sustained and successful challenges against resource extraction. With few exceptions, existing research has...
Influence of entomopathogenic fungi from forest and urban habitats on founding pairs of reticulitermes flavipes (rhinotermitidae)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
termite colonies survive fungal invasions. This research focused on founding pairs of primary reproductives when colonies are smallest and there are only two termites. Because most termite colonies invading newer homes in Missouri are started...
An economic analysis of the agricultural development potential for Southern Honduras
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1975)
for various resources r which would provide guidance for making investment decisions; and (3) to derive policy recommendations for the purpose of agricultural development in Southern Honduras. A survey of 449 randomly selected sample farms, including 686...
Effects of prescribed fire and timber harvest on terrestrial salamander abundance, behavior, and microhabitat use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
surveys for three years and used a statistical modeling approach that accounted for the tendency of terrestrial salamanders to be belowground and unavailable for surveys. I found that terrestrial salamander density at our Missouri Ozark study site ranged...
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)
for greatest understanding of population level processes and to inform prioritization of conservation efforts for Atlantic brant. Future brant research should focus on nutrient dynamics of James Bay staging areas, identifying core breeding areas and quantifying...
