Effects of future increases in atmospheric ammonium deposition on prey capture traits of the purple pitcher plant, Sarracenia purpurea
(Kalamazoo College, 2020)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 ... -
Native Bee Nesting Abundance and Diversity at the Lillian Anderson Arboretum
(Kalamazoo College, 2019)Wild bees play a crucial role as primary pollinators of flowering plants in the United States and around the world. In the last few decades bee numbers have been declining rapidly due to the increased use of pesticides, ... -
Novel mutation in Phosphodiesterase 6B Causes Progressive Retinal Atrophy in Spanish Water Dogs
(Kalamazoo College, 2020)As researchers and medical professionals continue to search for causes and cures for human blindness, animal models serve as an invaluable tool for discovery and eventual solution. Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a genetically ... -
Effects of Argatroban and Streptokinase During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Assisted Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation on Fibrin Deposition in the Porcine Frontal Lobe
(Kalamazoo College, 2019)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 Impact of Socioeconomic Factors on Park Quality and Accessibility within the Kalamazoo City Park System
