Assembly through invasion and restoration: effects on biodiversity and ecosystem function
Kouri, Joshua (2020-12-18)It is well established that human activities have damaged many natural systems. Two critical aspects of mitigating this damage are identifying pathways to impacts and identifying the characteristics of successful interventions. ... -
BET-HEDGING IN HETEROCARPIC GRINDELIA CILIATA (ASTERACEAE)
Kistenmacher, Michael (2017-05-12)A challenge for all living organisms is to offset the fitness associated risks of environmental uncertainty. Bet-hedging strategies are adaptive in unpredictable environments and are documented in a wide range of taxa ... -
Delving deeper into plant assembly: determine the role of intraspecific diversity across space and time to affect carbon dynamics in natural and managed systems
Means, Megan (2019-05-11)Understanding the key ecological processes contributing towards the spatial-temporal variation in intra-specific diversity of commonly occurring species, especially during early colonization events, can be key to predict ... -
The effect of a non-circadian photoperiod on the growth, physiology, and production of a romaine lettuce cultivar
Hughes, Joshua (2022)The circadian rhythm serves to match plant physiology and behavior with the environmental cycles caused by the rotation of the planet. The circadian rhythm contributes towards the structure and function of plants and ... -
Genetic Architecture and Influence of Switchgrass Internode Anatomy on Biofuel Production-Relevant Traits
Thomas, David (2022-05)Biofuels produced from plant biomass, such as switchgrass, have the potential to mitigate the increasing pace of rising atmospheric CO2 and global temperatures caused in part by the burning of fossil fuels. Biofuels produced ... -
The Impact of Nurse Plants and Microclimate on Spatial and Temporal Trends of Juniperus virginiana L. Seedlings in an Oklahoma Grassland
Walton, Alexia (2020-06-12)Juniperus virginiana L. (eastern red cedar) is a species of interest throughout North America as a result of its rapid encroachment into historic grasslands, but the effects of nurse trees on J. virginiana seedling recruitment ... -
INTEGRATING GENOMIC, MORPHOLOGICAL, AND PALEONTOLOGICAL DATA TO UNRAVEL MACROEVOLUTIONARY DRIVERS OF MORPHOLOGICAL DIVERSITY IN FISHES
Troyer, Emily (2024-05-10)Perhaps one of the most apparent, yet captivating, natural phenomena is the diversity of shape and form which has evolved on Earth. Morphological evolution is shaped by numerous factors across multiple biological scales, ...
