This study examines relationships between pediatric lead poisoning and the built environment. Focusing on Kansas City, Missouri between the years 2000 and 2013 this dissertation informs policy options and identifies under-explored lines of inquiry...
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...

Encyclopedia of Missouri courthouses
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1981)
"Missouri became a state in 1821, the 24th state to be admitted to the Union and the second state formed from the land acquired in the 1803 Louisiana Purchase. By 1861 the state had authorized formation of 114 counties to complete Missouri's present...

(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
sampling) on four different ages (0, 3, 7-8, 14-16 yrs) of grassland in east-central Missouri. Efficacy of sampling methods was also examined. A total of 18,743 ants were collected, representing 28 species in 16 genera. Ants were most abundant in older ages...
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. ...
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 ...
Adsorption of fluorescent labeled E. coli in selected vegetative buffer systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
cases, the first landing zone for pathogens is soil, from which they transport into the water. Increasing global industrialization and polluting soil with contaminants from both agricultural processes and industrial waste products has caused several life...
Multi-scale investigations of gray treefrong movements: patterns of migration, dispersal, and gene flow
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
determining microhabitat use. Further, I have demonstrated the effects of matrix composition on the frequency of inter-pond movements and elucidated historical patterns of gene flow across central Missouri. My data indicate that migration through terrestrial...
