Evaluating alginate and organic acids for restructured carp intended for zoo animal and human diets
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Silver carp, a fresh water fish, are considered an invasive species in the Midwestern U.S. having low economic value, but providing raw material for ...
Subjectivities of risk and environmental uncertainty : residents, regulatory agencies, and corporate interests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
The West Lake Landfill Superfund site in Bridgeton, Missouri made for a compelling place to explore how risk was framed and contested by social groups and expert institutions in the context of environmental uncertainty. ...
Watershed-sediment-biotic linkages in small streams of Missouri's Osage River Basin
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Sedimentation is an important variable influencing the complex physical and biological features of streams. Hierarchical models of watershed characteristics, within third-order streams of the Osage River Basin in Missouri, ...

Impacts of Precipitation, Land use Land cover and Soil type on the Water Balance of Lake Chad Basin
(2013)
Lake Chad Basin (LCB) has experienced drastic changes in land cover and poor water management practices during the last 50 years. The successive droughts in the 1970s and 1980s resulted in a decrease in surface water and ...
Evaluating sampling methods and investigating distribution and richness of fish and amphibians in Missouri wetlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
those already devastated. In Missouri, efforts to increase wetland area focused on establishing public wetland complexes where, in an attempt to restore ecological function, wetlands are actively managed with precise water level manipulation and soil...
Streambank erosion and risk assessment of contaminant transport in Missouri watersheds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Sedimentation and herbicide are significant water quality concerns in claypan watersheds. Two separate watershed-scale studies were conducted in the Central Claypan Region of northeastern Missouri. One project investigated ...
Grasshopper and bee communities on Missouri prairies : comparing reconstructions and remnants
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Tallgrass prairies once occupied a large swath of central North America, but now face the combined challenges of habitat loss and fragmentation. In Missouri, where less than 1% the historical prairie remains, prairies are ...
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.) ...
Effects of riparian buffer width on stream salamander populations in the southern Appalachian Mountains
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Salamanders in the Appalachian region have been extensively studied, but the majority of research assessing the impacts of logging has focused on terrestrial species that are not dependent on stream habitats for egg ...
Rivers running through : an urban environmental history of the Kansas Cities and the Missouri River
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
and environmental history. Exploring the intimate uses of the river also shows how public health brought residents upstream and downstream from Kansas City into relationship with each other as each part broadens to a wider set of connections, to encompass the lower...
Targeting of watershed management : practices for water quality protection (2008)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2008)
Mitochondrial ancient DNA analysis of Lawson cave black bears (Ursus americanus)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The distribution of black bear (Ursus americanus) in southern and central Missouri has been controversial. This controversy centers on two questions: 1) Where does the historical species fit into the continental phylogeography; ...

Development and application of vegetative buffer width modeling using geographic information systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
It has been widely accepted that vegetative buffers are effective in removing nonpoint source pollutants. However, problems focusing on vegetated buffers studies remain, especially in technical aspects (i.e., how to design ...
Substrate activation in the urate oxidase reaction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The enzyme urate oxidase (UO) is involved in nitrogen metabolism of many organisms. Urate oxidation is carried out by UO without the aid of a metal ion or cofactor. A catalytic diad has previously been proposed to be ...

Correlation of site variability from SASW and CPT measurements
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Geotechnical site characterization programs are designed to reduce uncertainty and maximize the efficiency of geotechnical design. Ironically, however, many site characterization programs are inefficient themselves as they ...
