Neighborhood Guide CIRCA PROPERTIES | 601 E LOCKWOOD | 3353 ROGER PLACE | 7801 FORSYTH BLVD STE 200 | CIRCASTL.COM Welcome! To our prospective client, First and foremost, welcome to the beautiful city of St. Louis!

The History. The Tradition. Take one look at the towering, 630 foot monument ushering visitors through the Gateway to the West and you’ll know this city is something special. Maybe it’s the free attractions - like The St. Louis Zoo, which was just voted the best in the nation. Or a truly unique food culture that churned out classics like gooey butter cake, toasted ravioli and pizza deemed “the square beyond compare.” Why St. Louis? Like the outdoors? So do we! With over 100 parks city-wide, including the 1,300 acre Forest Park, (voted the #1 City Park in the United States by USA Today), you’re never more than a 10 minute drive from hiking, biking or playing. And, of course, there’s the sports. For St. Louisans, Cardinals baseball may as well be religion, and there’s simply no atmosphere quite as exhilarating as the Enterprise Center during a Blues playoff run. But, at the end of the day, it’s the pride our residents have for the city they call home that truly makes St. Louis a phenomenal place to live. Take a day to explore some of our neighborhoods and we’re confident you’ll agree — this town is one of a kind!

  • Early Invasion Dynamics of the Japanese Pavement Ant

    Early Invasion Dynamics of the Japanese Pavement Ant

    [[email protected]] EARLY INVASION DYNAMICS OF THE JAPANESE PAVEMENT ANT, TETRAMORIUM TSUSHIMAE, IN THE SAINT LOUIS, MISSOURI METROPOLITAN AREA Keefe D. Reuther, B.A. An Abstract Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Saint Louis University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2009 Abstract Invasive species are non-native species that undergo rapid population growth and incur significant biological costs. Worldwide, they are the second leading cause of species extinctions. Invasive ants are particularly destructive, constituting 5 of the world’s 100 worst invasive species. A major push in the study of biological invasions has been to understand their incipient stages, because once thoroughly established, invasions are nearly impossible to eradicate. The Japanese pavement ant, Tetramorium tsushimae, is a recently discovered invasive species found throughout the St. Louis metropolitan area and one of the few successful early stage ant invasions known. The primary goal of this research is to use this species to understand how early biological invasions proceed by using methods in population genetics, animal behavior, and community ecology. The first chapter is a literature review on what is known about the early stages of ant invasions. The second chapter uses microsatellite variation measured from nests collected throughout the invaded range to quantify population genetic structure. I demonstrate that the invasion is likely the result of a single invasion event originating in St. Louis, MO and subsequently spreading through human-mediated and natural dispersal throughout the present range of Eastern Missouri and Western Illinois. The third chapter quantifies intra-specific aggression in North American T.
