Factors affecting establishment and germination of upland prairie species of conservation concern in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Jones, Katherine D.
Abstract:: Identifying mechanisms that determine who lives and dies is the first step in developing successful restoration techniques for rare species and endangered habitats. We studied interactions that affect establishment of native plant forbs of conservation concern at the seedling stage to support the theoretical basis for restoration activities in Pacific...

Reproductive isolation and interspecific hybridization in the threatened species, Sidalcea nelsoniana

Creator:: Gisler, Steven D.
Abstract:: In addition to its longstanding recognition as an influential evolutionary process, interspecific hybridization is increasingly regarded as a potential threat to the genetic integrity and survival of rare plant species, manifested through gamete wasting, increased pest and disease pressures, outbreeding depression, competitive exclusion, and genetic assimilation. Alternatively, hybridization has also...

Systematic, genomic, and transcriptomic analysis of mycoparasitic Tolypocladium species and their Elaphomyces hosts

Creator:: Quandt, C. Alisha
Abstract:: Fungi in the genus Tolypocladium are diverse in their host associations, but the predominant ecologies include parasites of the ectomycorrhizal genus Elaphomyces and pathogens of insects. The aim of this dissertation research is to examine the evolution of these fungi and their host associations. To accomplish this several lines of...

Plant-Pollinator Interactions in a Changing World: Cryptic Specialization, Pollinator Movement, and Landscape Genetics of Pollinator-Dependent Plants

Creator:: Gannon, Dustin G.
Abstract:: Plant-pollinator mutualisms are one of the most prevalent and economically important mutualisms in nature. Like many other ecological systems, plant-pollinator communities are threatened by anthropogenic activity, both directly (e.g., habitat conversion and fragmentation) and indirectly (e.g., climate change). While we are aware of many of the activities that adversely impact...

Advances in molecular systematics of clavicipitaceous fungi (Sordariomycetes: Hypocreales)

Creator:: Kepler, Ryan M.
Abstract:: Historical concepts of Clavicipitaceae have included a broad range of species that display diverse morphologies, ecological modes and host associations. When subjected to multigene phylogenetic investigation of evolutionary history, the family was found to be polyphyletic, largely driven by diversity in the genus Cordyceps, previously containing over 400 taxa. The...

Systematics, phylogeny, and biogeography of the hysterangiales and related taxa (Phallomycetidae, Homobasidiomycetes)

Creator:: Hosaka, Kentaro
Abstract:: Monophyly of the gomphoid-phalloid clade was confirmed based on multigene phylogenetic analyses. Four major subclades (Hysterangiales, Geastrales, Gomphales and Phallales) were also demonstrated to be monophyletic. The interrelationships among the subclades were, however, not resolved, and alternative topologies could not be rejected statistically. Nonetheless, most analyses showed that the Hysterangiales...

Conservation biology of Perideridia erythrorhiza (Apiaceae) : experimental reintroduction and life history

Creator:: Roberts, Kimberly A.
Abstract:: An experimental reintroduction was performed to determine the best method to create new populations of the tuberous species Perideridia erythrorhiza, a rare vascular plant endemic to southern Oregon. Only a handful of sites are currently present, and many of these are subject to other land uses such as urban development...

Phylogeny, cospeciation, and host switching in the evolution of the ascomycete genus Rhabdocline on Pseudotsuga and Larix (Pinaceae)

Creator:: Gernandt, David S.
Abstract:: The relative role of cospeciation and host switching in the phylogenetic history of ascomycete foliar symbionts is addressed in the orders Leotiales and Rhytismatales, fungi associated predominantly with Pinaceae (Coniferales). Emphasis is placed on comparing the evolution of the sister genera Pseudotsuga and Larix (Pinaceae) with that of the pathogenic...

Systematics of the genus Torrubiella

Creator:: Johnson, Desiree M.
Abstract:: Torrubiella is a genus of entomopathogenic fungi in the Clavicipitaceae (Ascomycota). Species of the genus produce superficial perithecia on a loose mat of hyphae that forms directly on the host. The genus is estimated to contain about 70 species. Torrubiella is hypothesized to be a close relative of Cordyceps because...
