Comparing the diversity, geographic distribution, and intraspecific variation of subterranean termites (Reticulitermes: Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) occuring in woodlands and urban environments of Missouri using morphology and 16s mtDNA
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
. In urban environments they feed upon dead wood, and therefore infest and destroy man-made wooden structures. Missouri is considered to have a moderate risk for termite infestations when compared with the states of the southeast part of the country. Despite...
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...
Plasticity of soybean (Glycine max (l.) Merrill) root system development under mild water deficit
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
soybean genotypes selected from both domestic and Plant Introduction lines were studied. The results showed substantial genetic diversity in the capacity for increased lateral root development (number and total length of roots produced...
Thirty years of field experiments with crop rotation, manure and fertilizers

A Nonlinear IV Likelihood-Based Rank Test for Multivariate Time Series and Long Panels
(Berkeley Electronic Press, 2010)
-sectional correlation of the disturbances. The nonlinear IV rank test also extends earlier research on nonlinear IV unit root tests. However, the optimal instrument in the univariate case is not admissible in the more general multivariate case. The chi-squared result...
Biomineralizers from the proterozoic to today : assessing taxonomy and paleoecology through the lens of taphonomy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The onset of metazoan predation is presumed to have triggered an evolutionary arms race of prey defenses, including the advent of biomineralization. Escalating biological...
Bayesian spatial data analysis with application to the Missouri Ozark forest ecosystem project
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
of Bayesian estimators under several invariant loss functions. In the second part, we first propose an efficient algorithm for Bayesian spatial analysis via the generalized Ratio-of-Uniforms method, which generates independent samples from the resulting...
Mathematical problems from cryobiology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
to the description of exact solutions to this 70-year-old nonlinear system, a global stability result for the generalized system with n-solutes, controllability and existence of optimal controls in the n-solute case, and a complete synthesis of optimal controls...
Importance of agritourism for agripreneur goal accomplishment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
associated with the importance of agritourism in accomplishment within four goal dimensions via descriptive-relational survey research. Agritourism farms in Missouri are in the business of agricultural production, rather than maintaining their land...
Corridors and deer-vehicle collisions along Missouri interstate highways
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
A total of 3,639 deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs) were reported on Missouri roadways in 2020, resulting in 348 injuries and 5 deaths. Missouri is ranked 15th nationwide for this type of accident. Of the DVCs, 490 occurred along 1,200 miles of urban...
Nutrients, chlorophyll and bacterial fecal indicators in coves and open water areas of Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Urban development and use of septic tanks in porous soils of Lake of the Ozarks poses a threat to public health via leaching into drinking wells and coves used for swimming. During 2 summers, phosphorus (TP), nitrogen (TN), chlorophyll (Chl), fecal...
A genetic approach to determine river otter abundance in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
's effects on sport fish populations have sparked controversy. The MDC responded by increasing efforts to monitor river otter populations, using latrine site counts to measure relative abundance across several rivers in Missouri. However, the actual number...
Assessing the Impact of Changing Climate on Agriculture in Missouri and the use of Crop Insurance as Adaptation Strategy (1980-2010)
(2015)
such as floods, droughts, and hurricanes in the last few decades. General Circulation Model (GCM) projections of future climate show that these extreme events will become more frequent and intense in the coming decades. This study investigates the spatial...
The population of Missouri : a general survey of its sources, changes and present composition

Quasi-metric geometry : smoothness and convergence results
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
, and smoothness of quasi-metric spaces, and the second dealing with Euclidean geometry, namely the role geometry plays in analysis, particularly in the characterization of Lipschitz domains via cones, domains of class C[superscript 1], [superscript w], where w...
The generalization of positive intergroup attitudes : reducing intergroup anxiety
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Contact settings that include equal status, cooperation/pursuit of common goals, acquaintance potential, and authority sanction can improve intergroup attitudes. However...
