Ecological context and the evolution of mating biases in a freshwater amphipod species complex.
(2007)
Mating traits are among the most extravagant traits found in nature. As with any trait, understanding the diversification of mating traits requires information on both direct and indirect selection acting on the traits and ...
An integrative approach to understanding mussel community structure: Linking biodiversity, environmental context and physiology.
(2007)
The focus of my third chapter is an integration of the physiology information collected in chapter two to address how species dominance of two distinct thermal guilds (thermally-tolerant and thermally-sensitive) influences ...
Predicting breeding-bird occurrences in Oklahoma: Relationship of species distributions to land-cover and climatic variation.
(2007)
Predictive modeling for species distributions has received considerable attention in the past decade. As more data sets and better satellite images become available it is of interest to know how well modeling techniques ...
Trophic spatial ecology of invertivorous stream fishes.
(2007)
In Chapter 1, I studied the relationship between Bigeye Shiner populations and variables of habitat patches within the stream, and the land adjacent to the stream (the riparian zone). This work was done in Brier Creek, a ...
Factors affecting mercury contamination in fish from Caddo Lake, Texas.
(2007)
We conducted a survey of mercury contamination in largemouth bass ( Micropterus salmoides) from Caddo Lake, Texas, and found that largemouth bass collected from forested wetland habitats had higher concentrations of mercury ...
Structure and assembly of avian communities associated with black-tailed prairie dog ecosystems.
(2007)
It is clear that even in their current remnant state, black-tailed prairie dogs continue to play a significant role in the assembly of ecological communities across the Great Plains. Conservation of prairie dogs goes well ...
