Mortality threshold for juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in an epidemiological model of Ceratomyxa shasta

Creator:: Ray, R. Adam
Abstract:: The myxozoan parasite, Ceratomyxa shasta, is the most significant pathogen of juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the Klamath River, CA, USA. This parasite requires two hosts - a freshwater polychaete (Manayunkia speciosa) and a salmonid - to complete its life cycle. The complex life cycle and large geographic area...

Predicting the stability, equilibrium response, and nonequilibrium dynamics of ecological systems

Creator:: Hosack, Geoffrey R.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, new theory and its applications are developed to predict three properties of complex ecological communities: stability, equilibrium response, and non-equilibrium dynamics. First, a graph-theoretic analysis identifies the interconnections in a complex ecosystem that promote or diminish stability (Chapter 2). The hierarchy of interactions that influences stability and...

Utilization of dietary protein by the mussel, Mytilus edulis trossulus (Linnaeus 1758)

Creator:: Kreeger, Daniel A.
Abstract:: Protein microcapsules (PM) were developed as a tool for investigating aspects of dietary protein utilization by mussels, Mytilus edulis trossulus. Digestion of PM in vitro by protease, trypsin, amylase and extracts from the gut of mussels varied significantly depending on the type of protein encapsulated or whether carbohydrates were added...

Qualitative analysis of the community matrix

Creator:: Dambacher, Jeffrey M.
Abstract:: This work sets forth a reformulation of Levins' loop analysis for the qualitative modeling of complex dynamical systems. Relationships between members of ecological communities can be analyzed through a qualitatively specified community matrix, whereby +1, -1, or 0 represent effects of one species upon another. A contribution is made to...

Sea urchin-kelp forest communities in marine reserves and areas of exploitation : community interactions, populations, and metapopulation analyses

Creator:: Moctezuma, Gabriela Montaño
Abstract:: Marine ecosystems can be exposed to natural and anthropogenic disturbances that can lead to ecological failures. Marine reserves have been lately suggested to protect marine populations and communities that have been affected by habitat destruction and harvest. This research evaluates the potential role of two marine reserves established in Oregon...

Integrative risk analysis of vector-borne disease

Creator:: Orme Zavaleta, Jennifer
Abstract:: In this dissertation I explore the application of two novel modeling techniques for improving risk analysis of vector-borne disease and discuss their potential use in integrating environmental risk assessment that guides environmental and public health decisions. Techniques for analyzing risk have been considered inadequate due to a lack of understanding...

eDNA as a tool for identifying freshwater species in sustainable forestry: A critical review and potential future applications

Creator:: Coble, Ashley A., Flinders, Camille A., Homyack, Jessica A., Penaluna, Brooke E., Cronn, Richard C., and Weitemier, Kevin
Abstract:: Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging biological monitoring tool that can aid in assessing the effects of forestry and forest manufacturing activities on biota. Monitoring taxa across broad spatial and temporal scales is necessary to ensure forest management and forest manufacturing activities meet their environmental goals of maintaining biodiversity. Our...

It’s in Their Bones: Ecological Drivers of Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) Somatic Growth and Population Dynamics

Creator:: Ramirez, Matthew D.
Abstract:: Somatic growth variation manifests from the cumulative effects of a suite of biological, ecological, and environmental processes and can have profound effects on individual fitness and species population dynamics. As ectotherms whose growth dynamics are greatly influenced by environmental factors, sea turtles display considerable variation in somatic growth within and...

Abstract:: The rapid disruption of tropical forests probably imperils global biodiversity more than any other contemporary phenomenon¹⁻³. With deforestation advancing quickly, protected areas are increasingly becoming final refuges for threatened species and natural ecosystem processes. However, many protected areas in the tropics are themselves vulnerable to human encroachment and other environmental...
