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 ...
Phytoplankton response to water quality threats in Midwest reservoirs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Harmful cyanobacterial blooms and invasive species threaten water quality. These threats are expected to worsen in the future, emphasizing the need for creative management solutions and a thorough understanding of their ...
Behavioral choice and demographic consequences of wood frog habitat selection in response to land use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
, Missouri, and South Carolina are determining the effects of timber harvest on the persistence of amphibian populations. The purpose of my dissertation research was to define adult wood frog nonbreeding habitat in continuous oak-hickory forest...
Characterization of diverse soybean genotypes for phosphorus uptake and use efficiency
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
was aimed at identifying and characterizing soybean genotypes which contrast in their ability to take up P and in their PUE. Results from pot and field experiments with diverse soybean genotypes, including SoyNAM parents, obsolete cultivars, commercial...
Perforated sovereignty : the geopolitical dilemma of Aegean hydrocarbons
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The Aegean Sea, as an integral portion of the Mediterranean Sea, has always been a region endowed with special significance. Either as a familiar route of trade or culture, or as a fault-line between hostile civilizations ...
Measurement of reading in five weekly newspapers
(University of Missouri, 1940)
A study of the chemical composition of steers on different planes of nutrition and of the relative cost of maintenance and growth
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1911)
This thesis describes the methods and results of an experiment carried out by the author to discover what affect diet has on the composition of beef cattle....
Missouri soybean handbook (1987)
(University of Missouri. Extension Division, 1987)
"Understanding the growth and development of a soybean plant can be useful in making many management decisions on soybean production. This presentation draws heavily on Iowa State University Cooperative Extension publications SR 53 'How a Soybean...
John Donne : an annotated bibliography of modern criticism, 1912-1967
(University of Missouri Press, 1973)
The aim of this bibliography is to provide students of John Donne with a much needed research tool. This study is the first to collect and annotate the extensive criticism and scholarship on Donne written in this century. ...
Tensile strength, shear strength, and effective stress for unsaturated sand
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
It is generally accepted in geotechnical engineering that non-cohesive materials such as sands exhibit no or negligible tensile strength. However, there is significant evidence that interparticle forces arising from capillary ...
Effect of climate change, drought, and insects on oak-pine forests in the Ozark highlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI--COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Oak-dominated forests in the Ozarks Highlands of Arkansas and Missouri have been suffering severe oak decline and this became a chronic problem since the late 1970s...
Occupancy modeling of ruffed grouse in the Black Hills National Forest
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbellus) are important game birds and the management indicator species for quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) in the Black Hills National Forest (BHNF). As a result, a robust monitoring protocol ...

"Understanding the growth and development of a soybean plant can be useful in making many management decisions on soybean production. This presentation draws heavily on Iowa State University Cooperative Extension publications SR 53, 'How a Soybean...
Nectar in nicotiana : pollinator associations, sources of variation, and evolutionary consequences
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
genetic basis. However, some differences in trait means and genotype by environment interactions were detected between the novel environment in which the experiment was conducted (Missouri), and the ancestral habitat of this species (Brazil). Therefore...
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...
Effects of stress, genetics, and environment on microbiome composition in western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera Leconte)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
practice of cover cropping and no-till to improve belowground pest management. Food security in the future will rely on successful integration of sustainable management practices in agricultural systems to balance productivity and broader ecosystem...

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.) and chub spp. (Macrhybopsis...
