Please review the literature related to the specific topic/research question you identified for the capstone thesis. The literature review discusses how other researchers have addressed the same or similar research questions. It introduces the study topic and places it in a larger context that includes a discussion of why it is essential to study this case. It provides the current state of accumulated knowledge related to the student’s specific research question. The literature review helps the reader understand what has been done in this field related to scholarly work and what gaps may be evident in this body of knowledge. The literature does not conclude your thesis but rather provides the context for your thesis in the broader scientific context. The focus should be on a review of peer-reviewed and scholarly sources:
- Summarize the general state of the literature (cumulative knowledge base) on the specific research question (use appropriate subheadings to address topics specific to your capstone)
- Synthesizing themes
- Synthesize methods
- Synthesize results, and
- Synthesize theoretical frameworks used in current literature
- Describe how completing the capstone is consistent with the course of study – Environmental Management and Policy
- Include a short conclusion
- How do antibiotic residues from livestock waste impact the development and spread of antibiotic resistance in wildlife populations?
- What role does agricultural runoff play in introducing antibiotic-resistant bacteria into aquatic ecosystems, and what are the subsequent ecological impacts?
- How do antibiotic residues in livestock products and environmental exposure pathways contribute to human antibiotic resistance, impacting public health?
- What regulatory and management strategies are most effective in mitigating the spread of antibiotic resistance from livestock operations to the environment and public health?
