Mitigating cyanobacterial harmful algae blooms : the role of plant humics

Creator:: Theis, Susan A. F.
Abstract:: Cyanobacterial harmful algae blooms (cyanoHABs) are a growing concern worldwide due to damage of ecosystems and threats to human health. Previous research indicates that plant humics from aquatic and wetland vascular plants are effective inhibitors of cyanobacterial metabolism and growth and may be useful as control agents for mitigating cyanoHABs....

An experimental reintroduction of Pleuropogon oregonus, a rare wetland grass native to Oregon

Creator:: Groberg, Matthew G.
Abstract:: Pleuropogon oregonus Chase is a rare wetland grass endemic to eastern Oregon. The species is composed of two widely separated populations, one in Lake County and one in Union County. In order to reduce the risk of extinction, the Oregon Department of Agriculture Native Plant Conservation Program initiated several reintroduction...

Conservation of Rorippa columbiae : an evaluation of reintroduction potential through the study of germination ecology, propagation methods, and habitat requirements

Creator:: Kentnesse, Laura E.
Abstract:: Rare plant reintroductions are a critical conservation tool for the augmentation of diminishing populations, or re-establishment of extirpated populations. Analysis of reintroduction failures suggests that a sophisticated understanding of species biology, ecology, and habitat is essential for producing self-sustaining rare plant populations. This study sought to generate that background knowledge...

Development and Application of Tools for Genetic Analysis of Clonal Populations

Creator:: Kamvar, Zhian N.
Abstract:: Research on the population genetics of microbial organisms requires the use of specialized analyses designed for clonal organisms to avoid violating the assumptions of traditional population genetic models. The tools necessary for performing these analyses existed as a set of unrelated software with non-overlapping capabilities and did not cover all...

Hybridization between Castilleja levisecta and C. hispida : Implications for Pacific Northwest Prairie Management

Creator:: Sandlin, Isaac J., III
Abstract:: Conservation conflicts may develop on restoration sites with multiple species recovery objectives. For example, on Pacific Northwest prairies, the co-planting of the diploid cytotype of the common native wildflower Castilleja hispida with the endangered wildflower C. levisecta has resulted in putative Castilleja hybrids on restoration sites, prompting fears that genetic...

Candidate Genes Associated with Blister Rust Resistance in Whitebark Pine (Pinus albicaulis) Revealed through de novo Transcriptome Assembly and Differential Gene Expression Analysis

Creator:: Bair, Zolton J.
Abstract:: Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) is an iconic North American high-elevation tree species currently threatened by climate change, mountain pine beetle, and white pine blister rust (WPBR), a lethal disease caused by the non-native fungal pathogen Cronartium ribicola. In collaboration with the USDA Forest Service Dorena Genetic Resource Center, germplasm was...

Recruitment predictors of an endangered prairie species : a case study of Erigeron decumbens

Creator:: Gallagher, Katie J.
Abstract:: Preservation of rare plant species often requires establishment of new populations. Survivorship surveys are the most common method of post-introduction monitoring. However, they provide an incomplete picture of establishment success. This study is an attempt to develop a model for determining establishment success by determining the factors affecting recruitment in...

Realized and potential climate responses of lichen and bryophyte communities in a national forest inventory

Creator:: Smith, Robert J.
Abstract:: Climate and terrestrial vegetation have had mutual feedbacks for nearly five hundred million years, yet both are now departing from recent historical norms, with uncertain implications for forest ecosystems. This dissertation outlines the current and potential future climate responses of lichen and bryophyte communities in the United States as part...

A fistful of Astragalus : phenotypic and genotypic basis of the most taxon rich species in the North American flora

Creator:: Knaus, Brian J.
Abstract:: The study of the infra-specific ranks (i.e., subspecies and variety) can be considered the study of the process of speciation. Astragalus lentiginosus Douglas ex Hooker (Fabaceae) is the most taxon rich species in the U.S. flora currently including 40 taxonomic varieties. These varieties were described using traditional taxonomic methods primarily...
