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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Factors influencing upland oak advance reproduction in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Successful oak stand regeneration requires an abundance of well developed advance reproduction. Past studies have found that oak reproduction varies on upland landscapes by inferred measures of nutrient and water supply ...
University of Missouri Chemical Engineering 1903 to 2013 : a history from the beginning
(University of Missouri, Department of Chemical Engineering, 2013)
This treatise is a history of the Chemical Engineering Department at the University of Missouri. It covers the years 1903 to 2013 and includes the successful development of the Nuclear Engineering Graduate Program, the ...
Response of raccoon spatial and social behavior to the presence of an experimentally clumped food resource
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
In order to examine the effect of clumped resource patches on the transition from a solitary to a social or group-living lifestyle in a putativeIy solitary carnivore I contrasted raccoons inhabiting two adjacent sites on ...
Function and evolution of the crocodyliform feeding apparatus
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
The evolution of crocodylians from their suchian ancestors represents one of the great transformations in vertebrate evolution. Modern crocodylians have flat skulls and generate high forces during feeding, but crocodylian ...
An evaluation of pre- and post-timber harvest water quality in low-order streams in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Missouri Department of Conservation's (MDC) best management practices (BMPs) for Regenerative Oak Clear Cutting (ROCC) practice was evaluated on effectiveness to preserve downstream water quality. Fifteen sites, located ...
Anthropogenic effects on soil physical, chemical, and biological properties in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The maintenance of healthy forest ecosystems is critical to ensuring the sustainability of forest harvest activities. Forest soil health is a critical component of the knowledge required to manage a forest ecosystem; ...
Aquatic toxicity of one dimensional carbon nanomaterials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
This study determined the toxicity of one dimensional carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) to amphipods, midge, oligochaetes and juvenile mussels in water and sediment. As-produced or modified carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and silicon ...

Fire effects and litter accumulation dynamics in a montane longleaf pine ecosystem
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
A common obstacle for public land managers developing fire management plans in the eastern and southern United States is the lack of quantitative information on historic fire regimes and the effects that varying fine fuel loadings can produce...
Field performance of instrumentation for monitoring effects of timber harvesting on water quality
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
