Population Genetics Of The Eastern Subterranean Termite, Reticulitermes Flavipes, In The Southern Appalachian Mountains, Lee Ann Passarella Nov 2018

Population Genetics Of The Eastern Subterranean Termite, Reticulitermes Flavipes, In The Southern Appalachian Mountains, Lee Ann Passarella

Honors Theses

As an area rich in biodiversity, the Appalachian Mountains are an ideal place for biological research. The pronounced impacts of Pleistocene climatic cycles on forest distributions over time have shaped the evolutionary history of animals that depend on these habitats, underpinning the research that is presented here. The present study on the eastern subterranean termite, Reticulitermes flavipes, was conducted to better understand the spatial distribution of genetic diversity within and among populations of this species in the context of the aforementioned historical climatic changes in the southern Appalachian Mountain region. I hypothesized that there would be geographically localized, distinct genetic …

Community Connections: Public Outreach And Education At The Batesville Mounds Site, Lacy Nicole Mattson Aug 2018

Community Connections: Public Outreach And Education At The Batesville Mounds Site, Lacy Nicole Mattson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis is the result of a goal-driven, applied anthropology project that assisted the City of Batesville in the opening of The Batesville Mounds site as a public park on November 21, 2017. Other goals of this project consisted of providing park planners with historical information on the pre-contact Native American occupation as well as past archaeological investigations at the site and to make recommendations for the future of the Park. In order to facilitate the City in this capacity, comparable mounds sites were visited, surveys and interviews were conducted, an inventory of Batesville Mounds artifacts curated at the University …


Analysis Of Staying Time In Italian Agritourism Using A Quantitative Methodology: The Case Of Latium Region, Nicola Galluzzo Jul 2018

Analysis Of Staying Time In Italian Agritourism Using A Quantitative Methodology: The Case Of Latium Region, Nicola Galluzzo

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

The aim of this article was to investigate and assess, using a quantitative empirical methodology, which variables influence the staying time at agritourism facilities in the Latium region of Italy. Using quantitative methodology derived from the chemical process of absorption, this case study explores the ability of a farm to absorb tourist flows. Findings point out the incidence of agritourists on the total tourism flow and the number of rooms are two variables directly correlated to the staying time. Simultaneously, the model estimated the level of “laziness” of tourists as a function of their staying time in agritourist facilities, which …


Economic Identity, Price And Policy: Willingness To Pay For Fracking Regulation In Colorado, Adam Mayer Jul 2018

Economic Identity, Price And Policy: Willingness To Pay For Fracking Regulation In Colorado, Adam Mayer

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

This article considers public support for increased regulation of unconventional oil and gas development in Colorado. We examine the role of community economic identity and investigate the possibility of “colliding treadmills” in local political economies as drivers of policy preferences. We find that many place-based variables do little to predict regulatory support, but the cost associated with regulation (increased taxes) and political identity are especially important. Further, this study is one of a handful of sociological analyses to employ the contingent valuation method for environmental valuation, and in doing so it provides a first step toward establishing an empirically rigorous …
