• Assessment of Littoral Algal Biodiversity and Correlations to Environmental and Anthropogenic Factors Using Environmental Dna 

  Bombin, Sergei (University of Alabama Libraries, 2021)

  The coastal area forms one of the most biologically productive and undoubtedly one of the most complex ecosystems. A balance in the coastal ecosystem is fragile because biotic communities are affected by the numerous ...
• A Salinity Saga: Preferences, Tolerances, and Physiological Responses to Salinity in the Mangrove Rivulus, Kryptolebias Marmoratus 

  McCain, Shelly Colette (University of Alabama Libraries, 2021)

  Selection should favor individuals that occupy habitats in which fitness returns are the highest. In heterogeneous environments, this equates to individuals actively navigating alternative habitats and dispersing to areas ...
• Water Use of an Intensively Managed Loblolly Pine Plantation: Implications of Rapid Tree Growth on Stand Evapotranspiration and its Components 

  Ruzol, Roel Alfredo (University of Alabama Libraries, 2021)

  Increasing demand for plant-derived bioenergy is projected to expand tree plantations with intensive silviculture and improved tree varieties. A criticism regarding these plantations is their large water use to support ...
• A Study of Fishes of the Cahaba River Drainage System of Alabama 

  May, Mary (University of Alabama Libraries, 1963)

  Over the last hundred years several studies of major tributaries of the Alabama River have been made. The first published account of fishes from the Cahaba River is in Gilbert's (1891) report. He listed twenty-three species ...
• Spider Phylogenomics: Untangling the Spider Tree of Life 

  Garrison, Nicole L.; Rodriguez, Juanita; Agnarsson, Ingi; Coddington, Jonathan A.; Griswold, Charles E.; Hamilton, Christopher A.; Hedin, Marshal; Kocot, Kevin M.; Ledford, Joel M.; Bond, Jason E. (2016)

  Spiders (Order Araneae) are massively abundant generalist arthropod predators that are found in nearly every ecosystem on the planet and have persisted for over 380 million years. Spiders have long served as evolutionary ...
• Characterizing Growing Season Length of Subtropical Coniferous Forests with a Phenological Model 

  Gong, Yuan; Staudhammer, Christina L.; Wiesner, Susanne; Starr, Gregory; Zhang, Yinlong (2021)

  Understanding plant phenological change is of great concern in the context of global climate change. Phenological models can aid in understanding and predicting growing season changes and can be parameterized with gross ...
• Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Two Scaphopod Molluscs 

  Kocot, Kevin M.; Wollesen, Tim; Varney, Rebecca M.; Schwartz, Megan L.; Steiner, Gerhard; Wanninger, Andreas (2019)

  Complete mitochondrial genomes were determined for two scaphopod molluscs: the dentaliid Antalis entalis and an unidentified Antarctic gadilid. Both genomes are complete except, in Gadilida sp. indet., a short stretch of ...
• The Stoichiometry of Larval Anuran Development in Natural Wetlands 

  McLeay, Scott M.; Smith, Lora L.; Atkinson, Carla L. (2019)

  Understanding the influence of growth and development on the stoichiometry of organisms with complex lifecycles is necessary to understand the spatial and temporal extent of consumer-driven nutrient dynamics. This can be ...
• The effect of Hurricane Michael on the structure and function of longleaf pine woodlands 

  Kenney, Gavin Ross (University of Alabama Libraries, 2021)

  Hurricanes are increasing in intensity due to climate change and can physically alter ecosystems, causing immediate and potentially long-lasting effects on carbon dynamics. On October 10, 2018, Hurricane Michael hit the ...
• Assembly and annotation of diverse genomes using long-read sequencing technologies 

  Sutton, John Michael (University of Alabama Libraries, 2021)

  The creation of high-quality reference genomes has become increasingly feasible for researchers with the democratization of DNA sequencing brought on by third generation sequencing platforms. New tools are now in the hands ...
• Biomineralization in the radula of the chiton acanthopleura granulata 

  Varney, Rebecca Michelle (University of Alabama Libraries, 2021)

  Chitons (Polyplacophora; Mollusca) are an emerging model for studies of biomineralization because they build a wide array of hardened structures from several different materials. Chitons make iron-clad teeth by coating ...
• Variation and Adaptation in the Imported Fire Ant Solenopsis Saevissima Richteri Forel in the Gulf States 

  Willson, Edward O. (1950)

  The imported fire ant, Solenopsis saevissima richteri Forel, is the southernmost race of a widespread and highly variable South American ant. It was introduced into the port of Mobile, Alabama, sometime around 1918 and by ...
• Influence of lab adapted natural diet, genotype, and microbiota on drosophila melanogaster larvae 

  Bombin, Andrei (University of Alabama Libraries, 2020-12)

  Obesity is an increasing pandemic and is caused by multiple factors including genotype, psychological stress, and gut microbiota. Our project investigated the effects produced by microbiota community, acquired from the ...
• Multi-faceted “mudbugs”: how ecology, hydrogeology, and geomorphology influence burrowing crayfish biodiversity in alabama’s black belt prairie 

  Bearden, Rebecca Ann (University of Alabama Libraries, 2020-12)

  Aquatic species are facing imperilment at a disproportionate rate compared to terrestrial species and thus higher probabilities of extinction. The southeastern United States has an exceptionally high level of freshwater ...
