Withrow, Frances Grace (2017-02-10)Theoretical research discusses neutral, lumpy, and intransitive dynamics as mechanisms influencing species richness. Our research here focused on the effects on richness and diversity on both the α and β levels of disturbances ...
-
Harveson, Patricia Moody (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Conservation of native wildlife is becoming increasingly difficult due to continued human population growth and expansion. As the human population continues to increase, so does the rate of consumption of our natural ...
