Thirty Years of Succession in Lake Michigan Coastal Dune Ecosystems
(Kalamazoo College, 2019)The sand dunes of Lake Michigan are a hallmark example of the process of ecological succession and the response of ecosystems to disturbance. These sand dunes are home to several species which exist nowhere else in the ... -
Structural Characterization of Clostridium difficile TcdR, a Sigma Factor that Controls Bacterial Toxin Production
(Kalamazoo College, 2019)Clostridium difficile infections in the colon cause severe diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis, with pathology stemming from two secreted bacterial toxins, TcdA and TcdB. With C. difficile infection rates on the rise in ... -
Demonstrating Immunocompetency in Nude Mice
(Kalamazoo College, 2019)There are a variety of different cancer cell lines that can cause disease in human beings and, ultimately, death. Although research is putting great effort into finding a cure for cancer, it is very difficult to generate ... -
Population Distribution of Procambarus Clarkii in Vicksburg, Michigan : A Case Study on Early Invasive Population Composition

Altered Eicosanoid Metabolism Associates with the Salutary Changes of Salt Restriction In Chronic Kidney Disease
(Kalamazoo College, 2019)Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a global health crisis affecting 11 to 13% of people worldwide. It often coincides with the development of hypertension, making hypertension a critical predictor of CKD progression. Hypertension ... -
Substrate Preference and Function of Salicylic Acid Methyltransferase in Dicots
(Kalamazoo College, 2019)Salicylic acid carboxyl methyltransferase (SAMT) and benzoic acid carboxyl methyltransferase (BAMT) are enzymes in plants which catalyze the methylation of small carboxylate containing molecules: salicylic acid (SA) and ... -
Does Insulin Signaling Regulate the Pre-migratory Phenotype Diapause in Monarch Butterflies (Danaus Plexippus)?
(Kalamazoo College, 2018)In fall months, monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) enter a phenotypic state called diapause that is characterized by the sequestration of fat reserves and halted development of reproductive organs. This state in ... -
Density-mediated Responses of Two Stored-product Insects to Host Food and Pheromonal Stimuli
(Kalamazoo College, 2018)Stored product insects result in losses of 10-30% after harvest. Tribolium castaneum, (the red flour beetle), and Rhyzopertha dominica (the lesser grain borer), are recognized as cosmopolitan, destructive post-harvest ... -
Immunohistochemical Examination of the Relationship Between Traumatic Brain Injury and Neurodegenerative Disease in Sixteen Clinical Cases
