Bird Abundance and Microhabitat Associations with Oak Mistletoe in Willamette Valley Oak Woodlands

Creator:: Pritchard, Kyle R.
Abstract:: In the last 200 years there have been significant declines in the amount and structural complexity of oak-dominated forests and savannahs in the Pacific Northwest. Restoring oak systems often involves selectively thinning stands of oaks in order to reduce competition for sunlight. In choosing which trees to cut, land managers...

Tree Physiological, Physical, and Chemical Characteristics Related to Spruce Beetle Colonization: Engelmann versus Blue Spruce

Creator:: Ott, Daniel S.
Abstract:: Blue spruce (Picea pungens) and Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii) experience varying levels of spruce beetle (Dendroctonus rufipennis (Kirby)) colonization, yet the underlying differences and mechanisms resulting in lower colonization for blue spruce are not known. Both spruce species have important roles in subalpine ecosystems where examining changes in mortality, distribution,...

Ecological effects of alternative fuel-reduction treatments: highlights of the National Fire and Fire Surrogate study (FFS)

Creator:: McIver, James D., Stephens, Scott L., Agee, James K., Barbour, Jamie, Boerner, Ralph E. J., Edminster, Carl B., Erickson, Karen L., Farris, Kerry L., Fettig, Christopher J., Fiedler, Carl E., Haase, Sally, Hart, Stephen C., Keeley, Jon E., Knapp, Eric E., Lehmkuhl, John F., Moghaddas, Jason J., Otrosina, William, Outcalt, Kenneth W., Schwilk, Dylan W., Skinner, Carl N., Waldrop, Thomas A., Weatherspoon, C. Phillip, Yaussy, Daniel A., Youngblood, Andrew, and Zack, Steve
Abstract:: The 12-site National Fire and Fire Surrogate study (FFS) was a multivariate experiment that evaluated ecological consequences of alternative fuel-reduction treatments in seasonally dry forests of the US. Each site was a replicated experiment with a common design that compared an un-manipulated control, prescribed fire, mechanical and mechanical + fire...

The development and decline dynamics of two ectomycorrhizal fungal mat soil microbial communities in response to a reciprocal soil transfer experiment in old-growth Douglas-fir forests

Creator:: Cappellazzi, Jed E.
Abstract:: Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EmF) form symbioses with trees. These symbioses profoundly influence forest ecology. Certain EmF form specialized profusions of hyphae, known as ectomycorrhizal fungal mats (mats) which are visible to the naked eye, alter forest soil biogeochemistry, substantially contribute to soil microbial biomass/respiration and support unique microbial communities. Piloderma and...

California condors in the Pacific Northwest : integrating history, molecular ecology, and spatial modeling for reintroduction planning

Creator:: D'Elia, Jesse
Abstract:: Reintroduction programs are increasingly being used to save animals from extinction and aid in their recovery. The California Condor (Gymnogyps californianus), one of the most endangered birds in the world, is a remarkable example of how reintroduction programs can help rapidly increase a species' population numbers and range following a...

Learning to teach effectively : science, technology, engineering, and mathematics graduate teaching assistants' teaching self-efficacy

Creator:: DeChenne, Sue Ellen
Abstract:: Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are important in the teaching of undergraduate students (Golde & Dore, 2001). However, they are often poorly prepared for teaching (Luft, Kurdziel, Roehrig, & Turner, 2004). This dissertation addresses teaching effectiveness in three related manuscripts: 1. A position paper...

Host-pathogen Interactions of Respiratory RNA Viruses and the Application of Recombinase Polymerase Amplification for Viral Diagnostics

Creator:: Prescott, Meagan A.
Abstract:: Humans and viral disease are inextricably intertwined. Viral disease plays an immeasurable role in human life, from the disease and economic burden associated with every facet of contending with human viral disease, to managing the consequences of viral disease in organisms important to our food supply, economy, and entertainment. The...

Evaluating Field Production Issues by Investigating Grain Dormancy and Plant Segregation Patterns in Soft White Winter Wheat

Creator:: McCarthy, Christy A.
Abstract:: Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a highly valuable crop that makes up a large portion of the world’s food. However, breeding for improved varieties with desirable characteristics can be a challenge. This research examined two different issues wheat breeders deal with throughout the selection process all the way to production of...

Identification of quantitative trait loci underlying kernel extra-softness and related traits by linkage and association mapping in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Creator:: Wang, Guomei
Abstract:: Kernel hardness (KHA) is a major factor determining break flour yield (BFY) and end-use quality of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Within the soft wheat class, genotypes with consistently softer grains than common soft wheat are considered to be 'extra-soft'. In addition, 'extra-soft' wheats have greater BFY than common soft...

Building Character Through Metaphor and Ideology: A Rhetorical Examination of John F. Kennedy’s Use of Metaphor to Combat the Religious Issue in 1960

Creator:: Smith, Jonathan Michael
Abstract:: On September 12th 1960, just two months prior to one of the closest Presidential elections in American history, John F. Kennedy faced the Houston Ministerial Association and delivered a powerful speech on religion and Americanism. The "religious issue" of the 1960 campaign drew immense interest and trumped other issues pertinent...
