An Interdisciplinary-Botanical Perspective for Cultural Resource Management: A Definition and the Application of Culturally Significant Plants in Identification, Interpretation, and Evaluation for the National Register of Historic Places

Creator:: Burk, Rene F.
Abstract:: Cultivated plants are often living artifacts that can aid in evaluation of historic or cultural landscapes. However, a working definition for “culturally significant plant” is currently lacking in the guidance literature for the cultural resource management practitioners. Based on a review of the literature on cultivated plants as indicators of...

Are Refugee Camps Refuges? A Spatially Explicit Analysis of Security Threats to African Refugee Camps (1997-2016)

Creator:: Fein, Frieda
Abstract:: Despite the growth of the global refugee population, the proliferation of refugee camps, and the personal experiences of many refugees with violent conflict, there is little systematic understanding of the relationships between conflict events, conflict actors, and refugee communities. Indeed, conflict in and around refugee camps has thus far only...

Statistics in Education: Contributions to Teaching and Data Analysis

Creator:: Totty, Njesa
Abstract:: In this dissertation we present a compilation of the research conducted during the author’s doctoral program. In the first part, we discuss a case study regarding the impact of scholar-ships on student success at Oregon State University (OSU). Specifically, we look at the grad-uation and retention rates and aim to...

Subsistence Harvest Diversity in Alaskan Food Sharing Networks

Creator:: Scaggs, Shane A.
Abstract:: Two striking characteristics of human beings are the diversity of resources that we use to sustain our lives and the extent to which we engage in coordinated, collective efforts to obtain and consume these resources. Together, these two characteristics are the foundation of human subsistence patterns. In many remote Alaskan...

Spatial Prediction for Finite Populations with Ecological Applications

Creator:: Higham, Matthew
Abstract:: Standard geostatistical models used in abundance prediction assume that observed counts on each site are made without error. However, in some wildlife populations, assuming perfect detection of animal or plant counts is unrealistic. We first construct an adjustment to a finite population block kriging (FPBK) estimator that allows the possibility...

The Roles of Recruitment, Species Interactions, and Oceanographic Context in Structuring Rocky Intertidal Communities of the Pacific Northwest and Atlantic Canada

Creator:: Meunier, Zechariah D.
Abstract:: Long-term, large-scale studies of meta-ecosystems provide critical information about how global change influences communities. In my dissertation, I analyzed data from studies encompassing 18 years (2006 – 2023) and over 1,000 km of coastline to investigate drivers of rocky intertidal community structure and dynamics. Specifically, I explored the roles of...

An Agent-Based Simulation for Emergency Warning Dissemination in a Multiplex Social Network

Creator:: Koll, Charles D.
Abstract:: The variety of natural disasters provide different sets of characteristics and properties with unique challenges. One significant difference between hazard types is prewarning lead time, the amount of time individuals have from a potential warning to the disaster occurring. Rapid onset disasters may not provide an official warning about a...

Effects of Synchronous Low Flow and Temperature Maxima on Coastal Cutthroat Trout and Coastal Giant Salamander: An Experimental Approach

Creator:: Tinoco Pickens, Francisco Andrew
Abstract:: As regional climates warm in the Pacific Northwest, USA, flow minima and temperature maxima may become more synchronous in headwater streams over time. The dual stresses from lower flows and warmer temperatures will be energetically costly for cold-water species such as Coastal Cutthroat Trout and Coastal Giant Salamander. Individual fates...

Multiple Stressors Drive Changes in Coral Microbiome Diversity and Composition Demonstrating the Role of a Bacterial Symbiont in Microbial Community Sensitivity and Resilience

Creator:: Maher, Rebecca L.
Abstract:: On coral reefs, disturbances rarely occur in isolation. Global stressors such as increasing seawater temperature often coincide with local stressors like nutrient pollution. In the face of increasing anthropogenic stress, corals can function as environmental sentinels, although little is known about how multiple stressors interact to disrupt their associated bacterial...

Assessing Lateralization Models in Emotion Perception: The Impact of Emotion, Perceptual Process, and Experimental Paradigm on Visual Field Bias

Creator:: Robles, Rafael
Abstract:: There are currently three main models used to describe the pattern of hemispheric specialization (i.e., lateralization) for emotion perception: the right hemisphere hypothesis, the valence model, and the motivational model. Although evidence exists in support of all three, the variation between each pattern of results may be due to differences...
