Escape Burrowing Of Modern Freshwater Bivalves As A Paradigm For Escape Behavior In The Devonian Bivalve Archanodon Catskillensis, Katja Knoll, Rebecca B. Chamberlain, John A. Chamberlain

Publications and Research

Many freshwater bivalves restore themselves to the sediment water interface after burial by upward escape burrowing. We studied the escape burrowing capacity of two modern unionoids, Elliptio complanata and Pyganodon cataracta and the invasive freshwater venerid Corbicula fluminea, in a controlled laboratory setting varying sediment grain size and burial depth. We found that the relatively streamlined E. complanata is a better escape burrower than the more obese P. cataracta. E. complanata is more likely to escape burial in both fine and coarse sand, and at faster rates than P. cataracta. However, successful escape from 10 cm burial, especially in fine …

Investigating Potential Pollutant Sources Causing Lack Of Biodiversity In Lytle Creek And Indian Run, Audrey E. Mcgowin, Amira Alsenbel, Harry Mcvey, Lori Williams, Taylor Stuckert

Chemistry Faculty Publications

This report describes the results of research performed with funds from the Sture Fredrik Anliot Grant Fund granted in March 2016 and the Wright State University College of Science and Mathematics. The title of the grant was “Lytle Creek and Indian Run Sediment and Water Pollution Assessment” and its primary aim was to identify and measure pollutants that could be causing a lack of biodiversity in Lytle Creek in Wilmington, OH. The project formed the basis of Amira Alsenbel’s Masters in Chemistry thesis research.

Soil Carbon Cycling Proxies: Understanding Their Critical Role In Predicting Climate Change Feedbacks, Vanessa L. Bailey, Ben Bond-Lamberty, Kristen M. Deangelis, A. Stuart Grandy, Christine V. Hawkes, Kate Heckman, Kate Lajtha, Richard P. Phillips, Benjamin N. Sulman, Katherine E. O. Todd-Brown, Matthew D. Wallenstein

Faculty Publications

The complexity of processes and interactions that drive soil C dynamics necessitate the use of proxy variables to represent soil characteristics that cannot be directly measured (correlative proxies), or that aggregate information about multiple soil characteristics into one variable (integrative proxies). These proxies have proven useful for understanding the soil C cycle, which is highly variable in both space and time, and are now being used to make predictions of the fate and persistence of C under future climate scenarios. However, the C pools and processes that proxies represent must be thoughtfully considered in order to minimize uncertainties in empirical …

Determining Trends In Water Quality Using High Resolution Land Use Data, David L. Bouck

Open Access Theses

Persistent macro-algal blooms have contributed to the decline of seagrass habitats throughout Biscayne Bay. South Florida’s canal system results in point-sources for excess nutrients that have collected from various types of anthropogenic activities in the watershed. One of the primary goals of the NOAA Habitat Blueprint Program’s Biscayne Bay Habitat Focus Area is to understand and develop mitigation strategies to combat excessive nutrient loading and increased macro-algal growth in the bay. This exploratory study utilized high resolution datasets and GIS spatial analysis techniques to analyze nutrient loading trends and relationships with adjacent land use in the Coral Gables Waterway. Nutrient …

Gum Arabic Promotes Oxidation And Ester Hydrolysis, Koen P. Vercruysse, Lauren E. Tyler, Jade Readus

Chemistry Faculty Research

We studied the interactions between gum Arabic and select catecholic compounds like caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid and catechol. We observed that GA is capable of promoting the auto-oxidation of the above-mentioned compounds into darkly colored pigments without the addition of redox-sensitive cations. Gum Arabic appeared to be unique among polysaccharide-based materials as many other types of polysaccharides promote the oxidation of the above-mentioned compounds only in the presence of redox cations like Fe2+ or Cu2+. RP-HPLC and SEC chromatographic techniques were employed to monitor the reactions and to observe the formation of high molecular mass, pigmented materials from gum Arabic …
