The effects of community composition, landscape structure, and climate on host-pathogen interactions

Creator:: Moore, Sean M.
Abstract:: Like other species interactions in ecological systems, host-pathogen interactions are influenced by environmental factors, landscape characteristics and the broader community context. My thesis explores the potential influences of food-web interactions (Chapter 2), climate change (Chapter 3), landscape structure and host movement patterns (Chapter 4), and the combined influences of local...

The role of the vertebral column during jumping in quadrupedal mammals

Creator:: Harty, Tyson H.
Abstract:: Little, if any, quantifications have been made on the contribution of the vertebral column during jumping in quadrupedal mammals. Previous studies of jumpers have focused on the morphological and physiological specializations of the hindlimbs. In this study, such specialization was measured during the supramaximal jumps of the Pacific jumping mouse...

Allogrooming behavior of European honey bees Apis melliferal L.

Creator:: Kuswadi, Achmad Nasroh
Abstract:: Workers in colonies of European honey bees Apis mellifera L. clean their nestmate's body by allogrooming behavior. This behavior may be initiated by either grooming dancers or by the allogroomers themselves. The first occurs less frequently (ca. 17 %) than the later (83 %). By using the inner edge of...

Aspects of the bionomics of the parasitic honey bee brood mite, Varroa jacobsoni Oudemans

Creator:: Principal de D'Aubeterre, Judith
Abstract:: Aspects concerning the bionomics of the parasitic honey bee brood mite, Varroa jacobsoni Oudemans were investigated. Mite mortality is great during the winter season when the host colony is not rearing brood, appearing to be independent of the mortality of its host. In winter period, no significant association between the...

A comparative analysis of household owned woodlots and fuelwood sufficiency between female and male headed households : a pilot study in rural Malawi, Africa

Creator:: Chikoko, Mercy Gwazeni
Abstract:: Fuelwood is a basic need for rural households in Malawi. However, deforestation has reduced the quantity of forest products such as fuelwood available to households. This has negatively affected rural Malawian quality of life, especially for women who are forced to walk long distances to collect fuelwood, prepare foods with...

Isozymic and cytological studies on populations of the introduced bee species, Megachile (Eutricharaea) rotundata and M. (Eutricharaea) apicalis

Creator:: Chen, Xiaoshe
Abstract:: Thirteen New World populations of Megachile rotundata and M. apicalis and two Old World populations of M. rotundata were analyzed at 23 enzyme loci using cellulose acetate electrophoresis. Conventional and G- or C-banded karyotypes were also examined in these populations. The principal findings are (1) No differences were found in...

Non-spatial and spatial models for multi-host pathogen spread in competing species : applications to barley yellow dwarf virus and rinderpest

Creator:: Manore, Carrie Anna
Abstract:: Modeling and analyzing the combined effects of disease and population dynamics is important in understanding the effects of mechanisms such as pathogen transmission and direct competition between host species on the distribution and abundance of different species in an ecological community. Mathematical analysis of such models in a spatially explicit...

Phylogeny of the "Chaoboriform" genera

Creator:: Ogawa, Joshua R.
Abstract:: The phantom midges (Diptera: Chaoboridae) are a relatively small fly family composed of 50 extant species in six genera. Larvae are of interest to limnologists and ecologists because of their tolerance to toxicants, predatory avoidance strategies, and the role chaoborids play in zooplankton community dynamics. Relative to mosquitoes, systematists have...
