The Effect of Ants on Membracid Nymph Growth Patterns: Size and Developmental Rate
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2008)The relationship between F. obscuripes and the membracid nymph is crucial to the survival of the nymphs because the nymphs (being much smaller and less mobile than adults) are more susceptible to predation. The presence ... -
Hello: A Series of Oil Paintings
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2008)I chose to paint for my senior project because I have a love for painting, especially oil painting. My inspiration for this series of paintings comes from a desire to improve the every-day through art. Rather than taking ... -
Effects of Typha x glauca Invasion on Nitrogen Fixation in a Great Lakes Coastal Wetland
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2008)Typha x glauca is an invasive hybrid which poses a serious threat to Great Lakes region wetlands. Extremely high levels of nitrogen have previously been found in the soils of T. glauca-infested marshes, and this was theorized ... -
The “Green” K-Plan: Toward a Carbon Neutral Campus
(2008-01-01)As a signatory to the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment, Kalamazoo College must undertake a carbon emissions inventory and adopt a carbon neutrality plan within the coming year. It is my hope ... -
Differential Allocation: Sex Ratio Adjustment in House Wrens
(Kalamazoo College, 2008)Life history decisions are intimately affected by the interplay of parental investment and sexual selection~ The differential allocation hypothesis (Burley, 1986) states that a female should adjust her reproductive investment ... -
Linking nitrogen and phosphorus uptake in streams to metabolism, ecosystem structure, and substrata type
(Kalamazoo College, 2008)Many previous studies have compared nutrient uptake rates to metabolism between multiple streams, while few have attempted to explain variations seen at the substrate level. In this study we examined the variations seen ... -
The effect of Apc on Wnt Signaling in the Dorsal Telencephalon of Mus muscullis
(Kalamazoo College, 2008)The adenomatous polyposis coli (Apc) gene is known to encode the APC protein, a component of the Wnt signaling pathway that causes the degradation of ��-catenin. A previous study by the lab of Dr. Yuan Zhu generated Mus ... -
The Social Organization and Potential Mating Bonds Observed in a Captive Non-Breeding Flock of Caribbean Flamingos (Phoenicopterus ruber ruber)
(Kalamazoo College, 2008)The intriguing social behavior and stubborn breeding patterns of the friendly flamingo has been a mystery that has been under investigation since the 1970's. Understanding why captive flamingo flocks do not readily ... -
Growth Rates of Multiple Strains of Microcystis aeruginosa across a Nutrient Gradient
(Kalamazoo College, 2008)Microcystis aeruginosa (M aeruginosa) a toxic blue-green algae was grown along a phosphorus gradient. This cyanobacterium which is spreading as a result of climate change is harmful to ecosystems which it is dominating ... -
Production of antimicrobial peptides by human uterine epithelial cells and their regulation by prostaglandin E2
(Kalamazoo College, 2008)Epithelial cells defend against pathogens not only by serving as a protective physical barrier, but also by actively producing antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). Few AMPs have been isolated from epithelial cells of the human ...
