The Robert Fergus Memorial Nature Preserve site analysis.
(2000)
In the summer of 2000, the Little Traverse Conservancy acquired 15 acres of land, nestled between Grandview Beach Road and South Straits Highway (US 27), adjacent to Interstate 75 (See Figure 1). The land was bought in ...
Provisioning and habitat selection by parasitoids in the Douglas Lake area.
(2004)
This experiment is concerned with the ovipositing and provisioning behavior of parasitoid insect species of the Douglas Lake area in Cheboygan County, Michigan. Ovipositing and provisioning behaviors are defined as those ...
The interconnections between convective boundary layer growth, transport, and ozone during PROPHET 2000.
(2001)
Wind profiler measurements of the CBL during the six-week measurement period conducted at UMBS as a part of the PROPHET research cooperative, were made to better understand the dynamics of the CBL and how transport influences ...
The impact of flower size, height, color, density and uv markings on bee pollination of sweet peas, Lathyrus odoratus (Fabaceae).
(2004)
The obligate mutualism between flowering plants and their pollinators began over 100 million years ago; long enough that plants have evolved to attract pollinators (Buchmann and Nabhan 1996). Which traits are most attractive ...
Foraging behavior by beaver (Castor canadensis): examining preferences for species, distance, and tree size.
(2000)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the foraging behavior and preference of the beaver (Castor canadensis). This behavior is an example of the herbivore-plant interactions. Foraging strategies of herbivores and ...
Insects as a significant source of nitrogen for the purple pitcher plant Sarracenia purpurea.
(2005)
Since nitrogen is a limiting factor for most plants, those that grow in nitrogen deficient environments should have adaptations that make up for the lack of nutrients from the soil. This is found to be the case in the ...
Population study of Malacosoma americanum in Prunus serotina.
(2001)
Eastern tent caterpillars (Malacosoma americanum) are a pest species, which aggregate in silk tents constructed in the crotches of a variety of different host trees. Adult tent caterpillars oviposit egg masses on the thin ...
The effect pH has on diatom communities on Utricularia spp.
(2001)
Diatoms are found in every habitat, however, different genera respond differently to changes in water chemistry. At three different sites, algal samples were collected in order to examine the diatom communities on Utricularia ...
Changing isoprene and a-pinene ambient concentrations as forest succession occurs and potential effects on secondary organic aerosols.
(2006)
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have a large impact on atmospheric composition. They react in a series of complex reactions with radicals to form oxidants, including ozone, and secondary organic aerosols (SOA). The ...
Preferences for feeder location and occurence of competition for two species of birds, Chipping Sparrows and American Goldfinches.
(2001)
Competition for a food source and the predation risk in an area are both factors that affect an animal's foraging behavior. The purpose of this study is to examine preferences for feeding locations for birds in general, ...
