Neonicotinoids: Assessing their Distribution and Biological Effects to Prairie Pothole Wetlands
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The use of neonicotinoid pesticides is widespread throughout agricultural regions, including the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) of North America. Recently, there have been growing concerns regarding the use of these pesticides ...
Assessment of Wetland Water Quality and Plant Species Composition across the Rural, Peri-Urban, and Urban Gradient
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
The Prairie Pothole Region, specifically eastern North Dakota, has experienced intense disturbance from agricultural demands and urban sprawl. This study assessed wetlands across the rural, peri-urban, and urban gradient ...
Sedimentology and Stratigraphy of Miocene-Age Glacial Deposits, Friis Hills, Antarctica
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
The Friis Hills is an isolated plateau standing as much as 600 m above surrounding topography in the McMurdo Dry Valleys region or Antarctica.Preserved on the plateau surface is a sequence of early to middle Miocene-aged ...
Effects of Phylogenetic Tree Style on Student Comprehension
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Phylogenetic trees are powerful tools of evolutionary biology that have become prominent across the life sciences. Consequently, learning to interpret and reason from phylogenetic trees is now an essential component of ...
Effects of nest site environment and timing of breeding on reproductive success in Franklin's gulls (Larus pipixcan)
(North Dakota State University, 2009)
Offspring performance and phenotype are affected by genotype and environment, which in birds includes yolk resources (part of the embryonic environment). Female colony nesting birds may influence offspring competitive ...
Development of Bio-based Wood Adhesive by Using Cellulose Nanofiber Reinforcement and Crosslinking Agent for Improved Bonding Strength
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Engineered woods, plywood, particle board, and oriented strand board, are widely used as a low-cost wood replacement in many applications. Many of the currently used wood adhesives contain chemicals that are harmful to ...
The Tingidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) of Southern Central America (with an Emphasis on Costa Rica)
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The genera of Tingidae of the neotropics are herein diagnosed and a key for their identification is also provided. Five new genera are described from Central America, two from Panama, two from Costa Rica, and one new genus ...
Impact of Wildfire and Targeted Grazing Effects on Northern Great Plains Range and Pasture Lands
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
The Grand River District in South Dakota has a high proportion of underutilized crested
wheatgrass within native rangelands. Prescribed fire is rarely used for management; although, there is a
strong evolutionary relationship ...
A Faunal Survey of Coleoptera, Hemiptera (Heteroptera), and Lepidoptera Associated with Fraxinus Pennsylvanica Marshall (Oleaceae) in the Red River Valley of Eastern North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
The emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis; EAB) is an invasive wood-boring beetle causing mortality of ash trees in North America. This project was initiated because of the threat of EAB moving into North Dakota. The main ...
Collection and Analysis of Volatiles of Various Cultivated Sunflower, Helianthus Annuus, (Asteraceae) Germplasm and Investigation of Some Aspects of Host Selection in Adult Red Sunflower Seed Weevil, Smicronyx Fulvus L., (Coleoptera Curculionidae)
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Plants of sunflower germplasm putatively resistant or susceptible to the red sunflower seed weevil, Smicronyx fulvus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) were used to test the hypothesis that the volatile composition of these two ...
