Impact of precipitation and aging on the performance of insecticides to control the Japanese beetle on grape leaves
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2009)
Pest management is one of the greatest challenges facing growers of specialty crops. Currently the most effective methods for controlling insect pests is through spraying chemical insecticides. While effective, there ...
Effects of Landscape Structure, Habitat Type and Flower Density on Bee Abundance within the Chicago Wilderness Region
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2009)
Urbanization and habitat fragmentation are major threats to the conservation of the tallgrass prairie ecosystem. Prairies were once widespread across the American Midwest, including the region now known as the Chicago ...
The Effects of Dominant Plant Species’ Densities on the Invasibility and Diversity of a Prairie Grassland
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2009)
Studies have shown that biodiversity in an area can be influenced by the traits of the dominant species within that community and that the composition of rare species (which often comprises the majority of the diversity ...
