Are laboratory-reared populations similar to the ones in the wild? Lab domestication of fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas)
(Kalamazoo College, 2019-09-01)No matter how the laboratory is set up, rearing conditions will inescapably select for specific traits, producing responses and traits that are different from those in the wild. For the sake of convenience, investigators ... -
Assessing Abundance and Behavior of Vertebrate Marine Species in the Red Mangroves of San Cristobal Island using GoPro Video Surveillance
(Kalamazoo College, 2020-01-01)Near shore enclosed bay ecosystems provide a critical ecosystem service for many different species (Llerena, 2018). The rocky ecosystems offer protection from the fierce winds and strong currents due to the presence of a ... -
Assessment of Floristic Quality and Plant-pollinator Interactions on Powerline Right-of-way at Lillian Anderson Arboretum
(Kalamazoo College, 2020-01-01)Populations of pollinators, and more specifically bees have declined recently and due to their vital roles in our ecosystems and agriculture industry (Potts et al., 2010). Efforts to protect, conserve and even enhance their ... -
Characteristics of Harvested and Released Lake Trout in Charter Boat Fisheries of Northern Lake Michigan
(Kalamazoo College, 2016)Lake trout are a popular fish for recreational fishing and well known for diet as well. These together, have generated a large industry surrounding the fish. Recently, it was found that there is a 40% mortality rate of ... -
Comparison of Problem-Solving Skills and Cognitive Function Between Three Bat Species to Evaluate the Potential of Bat Behavior As a Parameter in Bat Phylogeny
(Kalamazoo College, 2020-01-01)The discovery and unraveling of the evolutionary history of mega and microbats alike has stumped and surprised scientists for multiple decades. In recent years, much more light has been shed on the phylogeny of the order ... -
Describing physical features of larval lake whitefish and cisco in Lake Michigan
(Kalamazoo College, 2019-09-01)The Great Lakes at one time were populated with many coregonine species. Over the past few decades commercial fishing, invasive species, and habitat loss have decreased coregonine species populations. Recently, lake whitefish ... -
Determining the Effectiveness of Non-Surgical Skin Tightening Methods
(Kalamazoo College, 2019-09-01)As medicine and medical technology have advance exponentially over recent decades, the antiaging branch of the medical field has quickly become one of the most innovative and attractive branches of medicine. Many patients ... -
Differential Expression of Angiogenic miRNA hsa-miR-144-3p and hsa-miR-1260a Supports the Hepatic Factor Concept of Pathogenesis of Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformations in Humans
(Kalamazoo College, 2019)Similarities in the pathogenesis of Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformations (PAVMs) in both Hepatopulmonary Syndrome (HPS), and as a result of various congenital heart disease interventions, has lead researchers to believe ... -
Distribution Analysis of Invasive Plant Species at the Kleinstuck Preserve
(Kalamazoo College, 2019-09-01)Rapid urban migration has significantly decreased the amount of urban green spaces (UGS) in cities and the surrounding area. Although declining, the presence of UGS provide many benefits to both humans and the environment. ... -
The Effect of Rare and Novel Temperature Regimes on the Release of Cryptic Variation in the Fathead Minnow, Pimephales promelas
(Kalamazoo College, 2018)Warmer temperatures brought about by climate change will have widespread effects on the physiology and life history of organisms. Importantly, populations will be increasingly exposed to novel environmental conditions. ... -
The Effect of Temperature Fluctuations on the Sex Ratio of the Atlantic silverside (Menidia menidia), a Species with Temperature-Dependent Sex Determination
(Kalamazoo College, 2022-01-01)Sex determination in vertebrates can occur via genetics, as found in humans, or based on the environment. In the most prevalent form of environmental determination of sex (ESD), the temperature of the environment during ... -
Effects of Argatroban and Streptokinase During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Assisted Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation on Fibrin Deposition in the Porcine Frontal Lobe
(Kalamazoo College, 2019-09-01)The leading cause of death in the United States is heart disease, with sudden cardiac arrest accounting for approximately 45% of these deaths (Mozaffarin et al., 2015). Though cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) intervention ... -
The Effects of Constant and Fluctuating Thermal Environments on Life History Traits of the Fathead Minnow, Pimephales promelas
(Kalamazoo College, 2018)Climate change can impact the life history of organisms through elevating temperatures And the increasing intensity of daily fluctuations. Most experiments addressing the effects of climate change do so with constant ... -
Effects of future increases in atmospheric ammonium deposition on prey capture traits of the purple pitcher plant, Sarracenia purpurea
(Kalamazoo College, 2020-01-01)Explicitly under nitrogen stress, climate change is predicted to negatively impact food security by decreasing crop (corn, wheat, rice, and soy) yields by at least 30% in the U.S. Midwest by 2050. In response, agricultural ... -
