Drunken Walking: A Novel Brownian Dynamics Simulation for the Mechanochemical Cycle of the Dynein Motor Protein

Creator:: Waczak, John L.
Abstract:: The dynein molecule is a peculiar motor protein recognized for its unique stepping behavior. Sometimes it steps forwards. Other times it steps backwards. It has even been observed to occasionally shuffle by beginning a step with the same domain many times in row. These motions make dynein an interesting object...

Public lands and private waters: scarce mesic resources structure land tenure and sage-grouse distributions

Creator:: Donnelly, J. P., Naugle, D. E., Hagen, C. A., and Maestas, J. D.
Abstract:: Water scarcity in semiarid environments provides a model system to evaluate the role of mesic resources in structuring the distribution and abundance of wildlife. We used remote sensing and point process analyses to evaluate spatio–temporal variability in limited mesic resources in relation to greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) distributions in Oregon,...

Carbon stocks and accumulation rates in Pacific Northwest forests: role of stand age, plant community, and productivity

Creator:: Gray, Andrew N., Whittier, Thomas R., and Harmon, Mark E.
Abstract:: Forest ecosystems are removing significant amounts of carbon from the atmosphere. Both abiotic resource availability and biotic interactions during forest succession affect C accumulation rates and maximum C stocks. However, the timing and controls on the peak and decline in C accumulation rates as stands age, trees increase in size,...

Contrasting demographic history and gene flow patterns of two mangrove species on either side of the Central American Isthmus

Creator:: Cerón‐Souza, Ivania, Gonzalez, Elena G., and Schwarzbach, Andrea E.
Abstract:: Comparative phylogeography offers a unique opportunity to understand the interplay between past environmental events and life-history traits on diversification of unrelated but co-distributed species. Here, we examined the effects of the quaternary climate fluctuations and palaeomarine currents and present-day marine currents on the extant patterns of genetic diversity in the...

The conservation genetics juggling act: integrating genetics and ecology, science and policy

Creator:: Haig, Susan M., Miller, Mark. P., Bellinger, Renee, Draheim, Hope M., Mercer, Dacey M., and Mullins, Thomas D.
Abstract:: The field of conservation genetics, when properly implemented, is a constant juggling act integrating molecular genetics, ecology, and demography with applied aspects concerning managing declining species or implementing conservation laws and policies. This young field has grown substantially since the 1980s following the development of polymerase chain reaction and now...

American pika in a low-elevation lava landscape: expanding the known distribution of a temperature-sensitive species

Creator:: Shinderman, Matt
Abstract:: In 2010, the American pika (Ochotona princeps fenisex) was denied federal protection based on limited evidence of persistence in low-elevation environments. Studies in nonalpine areas have been limited to relatively few environments, and it is unclear whether patterns observed elsewhere (e.g., Bodie, CA) represent other nonalpine habitats. This study was...

Empathy-Induced Distress: A Psychophysiological Approach

Creator:: Karabinas, Isabella M.
Abstract:: Empathy is considered a significant motivator of prosocial behavior. Increasing evidence suggests that feelings of personal distress associated with empathy may be stronger or weaker according to the form of perspective taking that an empathizer utilizes. The aim of the present study was to further quantify the stress consequences and...

Investigation and Implementation of a Liquid Feeding System for the Apis mellifera Honey bee under Laboratory Conditions

Creator:: Meador, Brett W.
Abstract:: Studying honey bee behavior is a very important aspect of horticulture, especially in recent years as honey bee colonies face population decline, or colony collapse. While studying honey bees, researchers often keep honey bees in captivity, where it can be challenging to meet nutritional and hydration requirements using existing liquid...

Banks, Gardens and Bees: Enhancing Community Resilience in West Africa

Creator:: Polasky, Sophia
Abstract:: International development programs are often implemented with the goal of building community resilience, but without a clear articulation of how this goal will be met, or any consideration of if or why the effort was successful after it has concluded. This thesis considers three different activities implemented by the U....
