Candidate Causes, Consequences, and Estimation of Individual Diet Specialization

Creator:: Coblentz, Kyle E.
Abstract:: Diet variation among individuals within populations is widespread. Often diet differences among individuals are attributable to obvious differences among individuals such as age, sex, or morphology. However, growing evidence suggests that individual diet variation is also common among seemingly identical individuals within populations. This phenomenon has been termed individual diet...

Branching random walk and probability problems from physics and biology

Creator:: Johnson, Torrey
Abstract:: This thesis studies connections between disorder type in tree polymers and the branching random walk and presents an application to swarm site-selection. Chapter two extends results on tree polymers in the infinite volume limit to critical strong disorder. Almost sure (a.s.) convergence in the infinite volume limit is obtained for...

Dixy Lee Ray, marine biology, and the public understanding of science in the United States (1930-1970)

Creator:: Ellis, Erik
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on the life of Dixy Lee Ray as it examines important developments in marine biology and biological oceanography during the mid twentieth century. In addition, Ray's key involvement in the public understanding of science movement of the 1950s and 1960s provides a larger social and cultural context...

A determination and selection of a biology course content of significance for a freshman level general education course

Creator:: Hankins, Lela Ruth
Abstract:: The purposes of this investigation were twofold: 1. To determine important criteria for making a selection of course content in general biology. 2. To ascertain what should be the content emphasis in biology for the purposes of general education at the freshman college level. The literature pertinent to the problem...

An evaluation of an experimental biology course employing some cognitive and noncognitive achievements as criteria

Creator:: Durst, Harold Everett
Abstract:: This study was designed to evaluate the relative effectiveness of a new college general biology course which utilized an audio - tutorial laboratory as contrasted with a traditional lecture course. Five biology classes with 720 students at the Kansas State Teachers College in Emporia, Kansas, participated in the study. The...

Mathematical knowledge for teaching proof

Creator:: Lesseig, Kristin
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to detail mathematical knowledge that supports the work of teaching proof and to investigate how such knowledge is evidenced in professional development (PD). To advance the construct of mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT) in the context of proof, I developed a framework of MKT...

Forms of Life: Goethe’s Impact on Twentieth-Century Anglophone Botany and Morphology

Creator:: Hahn, Andre M.
Abstract:: This dissertation examines the impact of the German naturalist and literary figure Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s ideas on twentieth century Anglophone plant morphology and biology. Goethe interpreted the organ forms of flowering plants as metamorphoses of each other. His literary, historical, and philosophical writings suggest themes of alienation from and...

Experimental taxonomy, 1930-1950 : the impact of cytology, ecology, and genetics on ideas of biological classification

Creator:: Hagen, Joel Bartholemew
Abstract:: During the years between 1930 and 1950 a number of attempts were made to introduce techniques and ideas from cytology, ecology, and genetics into the field of taxonomy. Advocates of this "experimental taxonomy" believed that cytological, ecological, and genetic techniques would provide a rigorous, objective methodology to replace the traditional...
