• USING AN INDIVIDUAL BASED MODEL TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON THE REPRODUCTIVE PHENOLOGY OF EELGRASS (ZOSTERA MARINA L.) ALONG A LATITUDINAL GRADIENT 

  Foley, Jessica Lynn (2017)

  I explored the effects of climate change on the reproductive biology of the clonal marine angiosperm Zostera marina L. (eelgrass) using an individual-based model. The model captures whole plant ontogeny, morphology, and ...

• Vibrios in the Environment: An Investigation of Environmental Vibrio vulnificus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and Vibrio cholerae

  Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio vulnificus, and Vibrio cholerae are Gram negative bacteria that naturally occur in marine and estuarine environment, both as free-floating cells or attached to chitinous surfaces. Although ...

• The effects of UV-B radiation on tire deterioration and the ecology of Aedes albopictus and Cx. pipiens mosquitoes 

  Villena Carpio, Oswaldo Clever (2017)

  Although recycling programs have reduced stockpiles of scrap tires in the U.S., vast numbers of tires are still deposited throughout landscapes nationwide. Among the most important environmental impacts of tires is their ...

• HYDROLOGY, SOIL REDOX, AND PORE-WATER IRON REGULATE CARBON CYCLING IN NATURAL AND RESTORED TIDAL FRESHWATER WETLANDS IN THE CHESAPEAKE BAY, MARYLAND, USA 

  Keshta, Amr El Shahat Sedik (2017)

  Tidal freshwater wetlands are key sites for carbon (C) sequestration and main component in the global C budget. The overall research objective of my dissertation was to examine the physical and biogeochemical processes ...

• IMPACTS OF WEIGHTING SCHEMES AND TRANSFORMED ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES ON BIODIVERSITY MODELING WITH PRESENCE-ONLY DATA 

  Pradhan, Kavya (2017)

  Biodiversity modeling techniques at the community- and species-level can be used to address questions in ecology, management, and conservation. I addressed aspects of community-level and specie-level models using virtual ...
