Linking Wolf Diet to Changes in Marine and Terrestrial Prey Abundance

Creator:: Lafferty, Diana J. R., Belant, Jerrold L., White, Kevin S., Womble, Jamie N., and Morzillo, Anita T.
Abstract:: Since most wolf (Canis lupus) diet studies have been conducted in inland ecosystems, comparatively few data are available on diets of wolves in coastal systems. We investigated the diet of wolves in Glacier Bay, Alaska, from 12 May to 28 June in both 2010 and 2011. Although we identified 12...

Selenium and Selenoprotein Deficiencies Induce Widespread Pyogranuloma Formation in Mice, while High Levels of Dietary Selenium Decrease Liver Tumor Size Driven by TGFα

Creator:: Moustafa, Mohamed E., Carlson, Bradley A., Anver, Miriam R., Bobe, Gerd, Zhong, Nianxin, Ward, Jerrold M., Perella, Christine M., Hoffmann, Victoria J., Rogers, Keith, Combs, Gerald F., Jr., Schweizer, Ulrich, Merlino, Glenn, Gladyshev, Vadim N., and Hatfield, Dolph L.
Abstract:: Changes in dietary selenium and selenoprotein status may influence both anti- and pro-cancer pathways, making the outcome of interventions different from one study to another. To characterize such outcomes in a defined setting, we undertook a controlled hepatocarcinogenesis study involving varying levels of dietary selenium and altered selenoprotein status using...

Conceiving A Colony: A Multi-Level Biocultural Analysis of the Maternal Stress-Preterm Birth Nexus in Puerto Rico

Creator:: Horan, Holly L.
Abstract:: This dissertation aims to elicit how a neo-colonial context shapes maternal and infant heath (MIH) outcomes by describing how they are socially, politically, historically, and culturally produced. Using a multi-level critical biocultural, medical anthropological research approach, the purpose of this research was to investigate maternal stress in the United States...

Stability and biological responses of zinc oxide metalworking nanofluids (ZnO MWnF™)

Creator:: Niyaghi, Faraz
Abstract:: Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have demonstrated the ability to improve lubrication and thermal conductivity, and stand as promising metalworking lubricant and coolant additives due to their low cost compared to other NPs. While nanomaterials are a focus of research due to their potential to enable advanced technologies, little is...

Reduced wood stiffness and strength, and altered stem form, in young antisense 4CL transgenic poplars with reduced lignin contents

Creator:: Voelker, S. L., Lachenbruch, Barbara, Meinzer, Frederick C., and Strauss, S. H.
Abstract:: • Reduced lignin content in perennial crops has been sought as a means to improve biomass processability for paper and biofuels production, but it is unclear how this could affect wood properties and tree form. • Here, we studied a nontransgenic control and 14 transgenic events containing an antisense 4-coumarate:coenzyme...

Ketamine and Midazolam Anesthesia in Pacific Martens (Martes caurina)

Creator:: Mortenson, Jack A. and Moriarty, Katie M.
Abstract:: The use of midazolam as a tranquilizer for anesthesia in mustelids in conjunction with the cyclohexamine ketamine is not well documented. Because midazolam is fast acting, inexpensive, and quickly metabolized, it may serve as a good alternative to other more commonly used tranquilizers. We trapped and anesthetized 27 Pacific martens...

The Primacy of Mammals as Seed Dispersers and Predators in Salmon-Bearing Ecosystems

Creator:: Harrer, Laurie E. F.
Abstract:: Plants often encase seeds in a nutritional reward to incentivize seed dispersal by birds and mammals, but these seeds may also be removed and destroyed by seed predators. Although birds are typically thought to be the primary seed dispersers of berries in temperate systems, in southeast Alaska and other salmon-bearing...

The benefits and burdens of flood control policy in the United States on humans and ecosystems : Can one policy allow humans and ecosystems to thrive?

Creator:: Winograd, Scott
Abstract:: Floods are beneficial to nature but can be destructive to humans. For centuries humanity has attempted to control nature and specifically rivers and their flooding. After looking at a history of river management in the United States, an examination of both the burdens and benefits of flood control policy in...

A Comparative Study of Foraging Behavior and Disturbance Regimes in Urban Versus Agricultural Habitats used by Cackling Geese Wintering in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Harrington, Erin R.
Abstract:: The Cackling goose (Branta hutchinsii minima) population has increased from a low of 20,000 in 1984 to the current population of 220,000-300,000 (Stehn 2012, Sanders 2013). As the Cackling goose population began to recover in the late 1990s, the majority of the population relocated from wintering in California to the...
