Corn Hybrid Response to Skip-Row Planting Configurations and Plant Population in Western North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Management practices are needed for stable com (Zea mays L.) production in drought prone regions of western North Dakota. Analysis of weather data suggests areas like those near Mandan and Hettinger suffer severe drought ...
Behaviors Mediate Aphid Interactions with Natural Enemies and the Environment
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Behavior is a crucial component of ecology that mediates how animals interact with one another and with the environment. Behaviors can allow animals to avoid the harmful effects of things like competition, predation, and ...
Effects of Temperature on Pea Aphids, their Host Plants, and their Parasitoids
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Temperature has the potential to alter every aspect of an organism’s biology. This is especially true when we focus on small ectotherms such as insects. Understanding the effects of temperature on insects is particularly ...
Mid-Wisconsinan Climate Reconstruction Based on Fossil Beetles from Six Mile Creek, Ithaca, New York
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The history of the Mid-Wisconsinan sub-stage in northeastern North America is one of large climatic oscillations. Fossil beetles were extracted from two horizons at the Six Mile Creek site, New York. A total of 738 individuals ...
Impact of Climate Parameters on Spring Wheat Yield in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The impacts of climate change in agriculture is a growing concern. The agricultural sector plays a significant role in North Dakota's (ND) economy, and spring wheat contributes most to the economy. This study focuses on ...
Prairie Conservation and Reconstruction Studies in Communication, Application, and Education
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Natural Resources Management is a combination of disciplines all working together to improve management practices, environmental education, and cross-discipline communication. Land managers and conservationist have become ...
Factors Affecting Soil Total Mercury, Carbon and Nitrogen Distributions in Seasonal Pond Basins within a Northern Hardwood Forest in Minnesota, USA
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Forests are sites for mercury deposition, where accumulation in aquatic environments can occur. Soil total mercury (THg), C and N to 15 cm were studied in ten seasonal pond basins in a northern hardwood forest (Minnesota, ...
Evidence of Inbreeding and Divergence in the Western Prairie Fringed Orchid (Platanthera praeclara)
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The conversion of grasslands to agriculture land has made the tall grass prairie one of the world’s most endangered ecosystems and has played a key role in the decline of one particular species of rare endangered orchid, ...
Antipredator Behavior and Morphology in Isolated Cyprinodont Fishes
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
For desert fishes in the American Southwest, predation by invasive species has triggered massive population declines for decades, leaving researchers speculating on the underlying cause. It has been shown that Post-Pleistocene ...
Change in Reference Condition Wetlands and Road Dust Impacts on Spider Mites
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Increased disturbance from agriculture and the changing climate in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) of North Dakota may cause shifts in vegetation on wetland systems as well as increases in spider mite populations on ...
