THE POTENTIAL OF FRESHWATER MACROALGAE AS A BIOFUELS FEEDSTOCK AND THE INFLUENCE OF NUTRIENT AVAILABILITY ON FRESHWATER MACROALGAL BIOMASS PRODUCTION
(University of Kansas, 2014-12-31)Extensive efforts have been made to evaluate the potential of microalgae as a biofuel feedstock during the past 4-5 decades. However, filamentous freshwater macroalgae have numerous characteristics that favor their potential ... -

Community dynamics of ephemeral systems: food web drivers, community assembly, and anthropogenic impacts of playa wetlands
(University of Kansas, 2014-08-31)Scientists know relatively little about the ecology of ephemeral wetlands and few attempts have been made to integrate the published ecological studies. We use playa wetlands, a common aquatic feature of many arid to ... -

Integrating multiple evolutionary processes in models of captive breeding
(University of Kansas, 2014-05-31)Models of captive breeding tend to come in two varieties: one type examines the potential for different strategies to preserve genetic diversity, while the other considers the impacts of many evolutionary processes but ... -
MOLECULAR PHYLOGENY OF THE SHINING LEAF BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: CHRYSOMELIDAE: CRIOCERINAE)
(University of Kansas, 2014-05-31)Shining leaf beetles (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Criocerinae; ~1500 spp) are considered amongst the earliest diverging leaf beetle lineage to attack early angiosperms. Although they are distributed worldwide, little is ... -
Geographic drivers of avian diversification in the Philippine archipelago
(University of Kansas, 2014-05-31)I investigate the relative roles of different classes of geographical barriers in the diversification of the Philippine avifauna, by inferring the evolutionary relationships of 20 avian groups with DNA sequence data. In ... -
Scale and ecological and historical determinants of a species' geographic range: The plant parasite Phoradendron californicum Nutt. (Viscaceae)
(University of Kansas, 2014-05-31)Geographic ranges of species are fundamental units of study in ecology and evolutionary biology, since they summarize views of how species' populations and individuals are organized in space and time. Here, I assess how ... -
From Microevolutionary Processes to Macroevolutionary Patterns: Investigating Diversification at Multiple Scales in Southeast Asian Lizards
(University of Kansas, 2014-05-31)A comprehensive understanding of the evolutionary processes responsible for generating biodiversity is best obtained using integrative approaches at multiple scales. In doing so, these investigations can provide complex ... -
Morphology, phylogeny, and evolutionary development in the weevils (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionoidea)
(University of Kansas, 2014-05-31)Weevils (superfamily Curculionoidea) rank among the most diverse groups of extant organisms, with ~60,000 described species. They are extremely important economically, being of great agricultural significance because they ... -
Contributions to the systematics, comparative morphology, and interrelationships of selected lecanicephalidean tapeworms (Platyhelminthes: Cestoda: Lecanicephalidea)
(University of Kansas, 2013-05-31)The Lecanicephalidea (Platyhelminthes: Cestoda) are a morphologically diverse group of elasmobranch (Chondrichthyes: Elasmobranchii) tapeworms. Currently, 95 species in 16 genera are recognized as valid. However, nine ... -

The Feeding Mechanics of the Gizzard Shad (Dorosoma Cepedianum)
(University of Kansas, 1977-10-01)Field studies have shown that young gizzard shad (Dorosoma eepedianum) are carnivores, visually feeding on individual zooplankton. Shad larger than 30 .mm are omnivores, feeding predominantly as filter-feeders on ...
