Influence Of Traditional And Dual-Use Cropping On Arthropods And Slugs In Soybean In Tennessee, Matthew L. Longmire Aug 2020

Influence Of Traditional And Dual-Use Cropping On Arthropods And Slugs In Soybean In Tennessee, Matthew L. Longmire

Masters Theses

Soybean is the number one agricultural crop in Tennessee for both number of hectares planted and economic value. Soybean, used in various products, is marketed globally. In recent years, Tennessee soybean growers have shown an increased interest in the use of cover crops with soybean. A cover crop is planted before the cash crop and can minimize some weeds, diseases, insects, and other pests. Traditionally, cover crops are terminated in the spring before cash crop planting. Traditional methods of cover cropping provide many benefits but can also produce some undesired results. Dual-use cover cropping is a newer method of cover …


Bat, Insect Prey, And Vegetation Response To Prescribed Fire And Overstory Thinning In Hardwood Forests Of Tennessee, Maxwell Rambeau Cox Aug 2015

Bat, Insect Prey, And Vegetation Response To Prescribed Fire And Overstory Thinning In Hardwood Forests Of Tennessee, Maxwell Rambeau Cox

Masters Theses

This master’s thesis investigates the effects of prescribed fire and overstory thinning on bats and their insect prey in hardwood forest stands of Tennessee. Chapter 1 is a review of literature that emphasizes the importance of this research and outlines the objectives and study area for this project. Chapter 2 examines the effect of prescribed fire and overstory thinning on the abundance and biomass of nocturnal flying insects important in the diet of bats. Overall, I found prescribed fire and overstory thinning had little effect on nocturnal flying insect abundance and biomass, despite changes in vegetation community composition and structure. …

Plant Sciences Publications and Other Works

Following compilation of distribution records and seasonal flight activity information for 106 metallic wood-boring beetle (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) species for Tennessee, maps were updated to provide county-level collection notations for 10,543 published records and specimen collections made from 1934 to 2013. County collection tallies across the ecoregions in Tennessee are also presented. Maps for individual species highlight gaps in key geographic areas where specimens have not been collected and can be valuable for future biosurveillance, monitoring and management efforts for these economically and ecologically important insects.
