Demonstrating the efficacy of learning ecology in an outdoor science education program on 5th grade science Oklahoma core curriculum test scores.
Perez, Jocelyn (2014)Science education is in need of reform in order to better meet the learning needs of the students. The goal of this research was to determine if the implementation of an outdoor education program has a significant impact ... -
Genetic analysis and ecological niche modeling of an Archilochus hybrid zone reveals duality in hybrid zone characteristics.
Judd, Erica R. (2016)Two species of hummingbirds (Archilochus colubris and A. alexandri) whose breeding ranges and timing overlap in the great plains from south Texas to northern Oklahoma were hypothesized to produce hybrids in this area. ... -
Genetic diversity of the Brownsville common yellowthroat (Geothlypis trichas insperata).
Roy, Christopher Lawrence (2010)Habitat fragmentation is particularly severe in the Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV) of south Texas, where an estimated 95% of the native brushland has been eliminated by agriculture and urban development. This fragmentation ... -
Genetic variation at major histocompatibility complex loci in Neotoma albigula (white-throated woodrat) potential clues to the evolution of North American arenaviruses.
Hoss, Sarah G. (2012)The major histocompatibility complex Mhc is an important component of vertebrate immune systems, and as such, genetic analysis of Mhc loci have been shown to provide information on susceptibility to viral infection. Neotoma ... -
Harnessing solar energy using photosynthetic and organic pigments.
Fitzsimons, Toby R. (2010)"Fossil fuels are a finite energy resource that must be supplemented or replaced by more stable forms of electrical energy. Solar technology research strives to supplement and provide eventual replacement for fossil fuel ... -
Identification of morphologically similar species of necrophagous flies (diptera: calliphoridae) in Oklahoma : reliability and application of techniques in a forensic setting.
O'Bannon, Elizabeth (2013)The development of taxonomic keys for carrion-associating blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) has greatly enhanced the field of forensic entomology by facilitating identification of species often associated with crime ... -
Prevalence of antibodies to West Nile virus in selected farm animals in central Oklahoma.
Burke, Jeff (2007)This study examined the seroprevalence of West Nile virus (WNV) specific Immnunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies among five different farm animal species including: Bos taurus (cattle), Capra hircus (goat), Ovis aries (sheep), ... -
Sexual selection, alternative reproductive tactics and sexual conflict in collared lizards : integration of molecular and behavioral ecology.
York, Joshua R. (2014)Sexual selection theory often predicts that socially dominant males should sire more offspring than males adopting subordinate social tactics. However, it is often difficult to determine the extent to which this expected ...
