Wildfire Severity Has a Minimal Influence on Pollen Diversity Used by Developing Mason Bees (Osmia lignaria) in Mixed Conifer Forest

Creator:: Bell, Nicole C. S.
Abstract:: Native bees are critically important organisms that support biodiversity and crop production via their pollination services. Wildfires in temperate conifer forests can increase bee abundance and flowering plant density due to increased light exposure, but little information is available regarding how wildfire severity influences provisioning to bee offspring, which is...

Fecundity of the aphid Rhopalosiphum padi on selected Oregon grasses

Creator:: Adams, Vincent T.
Abstract:: Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) is a globally distributed pathogen of grasses that is transmitted by aphids. Little research has been done examining the response of aphids to different host grasses in naturally mixed communities. We measured the short-term fecundity of the aphid Rhopalosiphum padi, a widely distributed vector of...

Exploring cultural barriers and TEK connections of Kānaka Maoli students in academia

Creator:: Rankin, Julia
Abstract:: Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) is a Knowledge-belief-practice system acquired through intergenerational direct and indirect observations representing past and current understandings of environments and integrates Indigenous value systems. TEK has become a popular topic recently as Indigenous stewarded lands contain more biodiversity and are more adaptable. It is critical for Indigenous...

Generating rural options for Weight: Healthy Kids and Communities: examining the rural family home nutrition and physical activity environment

Creator:: Booth, Carolyn and Gunter, Kathy
Abstract:: Childhood health is a strong determinant of adult health, including overweight and obesity. Rural children and adults experience a greater obesity prevalence compared to children and adults living in more urban places. The goal of Generating Rural Options for Weight-Healthy Kids & Communities (GROW HKC) is to prevent childhood obesity...

Designing surveys to investigate the impacts of wildfire smoke on human health

Creator:: Attridge, Samuel J.
Abstract:: Wildfires are increasing in frequency. One area of research interest centers on the pollutants within wildfire smoke, including but not limited to particulate matter and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These chemicals are associated with exacerbation of respiratory, cardiovascular, dermatological, reproductive, oncological, gastrointestinal, and infectious conditions. As wildfires becoming increasingly prevalent, it...

Studying the most effective modes of marine science communication on plastic pollution in the oceans

Creator:: Burton, Simone A.
Abstract:: The ocean provides many ecosystems services and yet humans have viewed the ocean as a black hole for trash since the 1950s. With recycling not getting to the source of the problem, smarter consumer choices are being targeted, specifically choices centered around the use of plastic. Thus efficient, useful communication...

“SHOO FLY”: Reduce Pesticide Dependence with Knowledgeabout Drosophila suzukii

Creator:: Marek, Charlene Marie
Abstract:: Drosophila suzukii was a known pest of berries, grapes, and stone fruits in East Asia for almost a century. Yet in recent years it has successfully migrated throughout the United States, Mexico, and Europe due to globalized fruit trade. The invasive success of D. suzukii is causing unrest for fruit...

Twentieth Century Takings Jurisprudence: A Dual Expression of Classical Liberalism & Civic Republicanism

Creator:: Rogers, Shayna M.
Abstract:: This study explores the extent to which the United States has conformed to the tenets of classical liberalism and/or civic republicanism with regard to private property and takings law. Mainstream scholarship suggests that classical liberal theory has played a dominant role in American property law since the founding. In the...

Women in engineering: A video exploration and analysis of under-representation

Creator:: Chi, Justin L.
Abstract:: In a society where equality is sought as the norm, occupational gender representation is still skewed in some disciplines. One field where gender equality in representation has not yet been achieved is engineering, whether in college or at the professional level. This imbalance is not only a potentially vicious cycle...
