Native bees, honeybees and pollination in Oregon cranberries

Creator:: McKenney, Melissa A.
Abstract:: Farmers rely almost exclusively on the imported European honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) for fruit and vegetable crop pollination services. The recent decline in honeybee health has underscored he danger of relying on a single species to provide vital services. Increasing pollinator biodiversity with native bees may provide biological insurance against...

Effects of decision making on landing neuromechanics as a function of task and sex

Creator:: Mache, Melissa A
Abstract:: Although the incidence of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries is greater among women than men athletes, the factors that contribute to this greater risk of injury are not well understood. One relevant question is whether decision making during landing influences the biomechanical and neuromuscular factors thought to contribute to...

Evaluating benthic macroinvertebrates as bio-indicators of freshwater habitat quality in an eastern Oregon agro-ecosystem

Creator:: Scherr, Melissa A.
Abstract:: The effect of anthropogenic disturbance on river systems is gaining attention, and concerns about the state of freshwater natural resources are increasing globally, as are efforts to restore habitat that has been degraded by disturbance. In rivers, non-point source pollution affects the physical characteristics of the habitat and the endemic...

Transcriptomic Responses of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) to Environmental Enrichment during Juvenile Rearing

Creator:: Evans, Melissa L., Hori, Tiago S., Rise, Matthew L., and Fleming, Ian A.
Abstract:: Captive rearing programs (hatcheries) are often used in conservation and management efforts for at-risk salmonid fish populations. However, hatcheries typically rear juveniles in environments that contrast starkly with natural conditions, which may lead to phenotypic and/or genetic changes that adversely affect the performance of juveniles upon their release to the...

Long and Short-Term Effects of Fire on Soil Charcoal of a Conifer Forest in Southwest Oregon

Creator:: Pingree, Melissa R. A., Homann, Peter S., Morrissette, Brett, and Darbyshire, Robyn
Abstract:: In 2002, the Biscuit Wildfire burned a portion of the previously established, replicated conifer unthinned and thinned experimental units of the Siskiyou Long-Term Ecosystem Productivity (LTEP) experiment, southwest Oregon. Charcoal C in pre and post-fire O horizon and mineral soil was quantified by physical separation and a peroxide-acid digestion method....

A Burning Problem: Social Dynamics of Disaster Risk Reduction through Wildfire Mitigation

Creator:: Charnley, Susan, Poe, Melissa R., Ager, Alan A., Spies, Thomas A., Platt, Emily K., and Olsen, Keith A.
Abstract:: Disasters result from hazards affecting vulnerable people. Most disasters research by anthropologists focuses on vulnerability; this article focuses on natural hazards. We use the case of wildfire mitigation on United States Forest Service lands in the northwestern United States to examine social, political, and economic variables at multiple scales that...
