Use of Landscape Characteristics to Quantify Hybridization Risk Between Native and Introduced Salmonids

Creator:

Manning, Michael A.

Abstract:

The introduction of non-native species can negatively impact native species through reduced genetic fitness resulting from hybridization. The lack of spatiotemporal data of hybrids occurrences makes assessing hybridization risk difficult. Here, I developed a spatially-explicit GIS Hybridization Risk Model (HRM) between native ESA-listed Bull Trout and introduced Brook Trout by...

Cleaning and Sanitizing Surfaces on Produce Farms: Optimizing What, How, and When

Creator:

Ohman, Erik

Abstract:

Production of fresh produce takes place outdoors, and therefore, is exposed to many routes of contamination (e.g., soil, contaminated water, manure, etc.) by human pathogens. Although precautions are taken to reduce this risk, pathogens can be regularly introduced to produce handling facilities. To manage the risk of cross-contamination from potentially...

Masters Thesis
Evaluating the Attractiveness of Pacific Northwest Native Plants to Insects and Gardeners

Creator:

Anderson, Aaron G.

Abstract:

Due to a growing body of literature documenting declines in pollinator populations, there has been increased public interest in pollinator conservation. In urban and suburban landscapes, many gardeners and urban land managers are interested in gardening for pollinators, particularly bees. Simultaneously, many homeowners and municipalities are interested in other aspects...
