  • Evaluation of an automated respiration method used in assessing the toxicity of zinc on soil microorganisms

    Creator:
    Boening, Dean W.
    Abstract:
    Microorganisms can be a valuable tool in assessing the toxicity of heavy metals. The soil respiration rate is a commonly explored endpoint. I utilized a fully automated respirometer incorporating an infrared gas analyzer (IRGA) and developed a method for measuring the effect of Zn on soil microbial populations. Zinc, in...

  • A model of trophic evolutionary pathways

    Creator:
    Morris, A. Kimo
    Abstract:
    Calow (1983) realized that differences between parasites and their free-living relatives can be explained by the differences in nutrient richness. I propose a model that is based on Calow's idea which identifies the relative position of different trophic strategies (e.g. predation, grazing, parasitism and others) based on (1) the differences...

  • Stability and complexity : a reappraisal of the Competitive Exclusion Principle

    Creator:
    Duran, Israel N.
    Abstract:
    Elton (1927) realized that, intuitively at least, nature was complex and stable. And that the last property contributed to the first. This idea was challenged mathematically by Gardner and Ashby (1970) and May (1972), and in the years following various models have attempted to reconcile these opposing views. Unlike previous...
