Bait and Trap Design Preferences for Drosophila suzukii

Creator:: Marcus, Monica H.
Abstract:: Knowledge of Drosophila suzukii's preference for an attractive trap design and bait can be used to improve detection and management of this new invasive fruit pest. Desired trap and bait attributes include: high D. suzukii capture and species specificity; early-season detection prior to significant crop damage; higher capture of females...

Identifying microRNAs by automated phylogenetic and structural analysis

Creator:: Smith, Daniel P.
Abstract:: Motivation: It can take considerable amounts of time and effort to use existing computational tools to analyze a small RNA sequence for the purpose of determining if it is characteristic of microRNA. It is similarly tedious to search for homologs to known microRNA sequences in the rapidly growing collection of...

DNA Mismatch Repair-Dependent Suppression of Genotoxicity of Benzo[a]pyrene Diol Epoxide

Creator:: Kernan, Casey P.
Abstract:: DNA mismatch repair (MMR) plays an important role in preserving genomic stability and reducing cancer risk. Environmental exposures to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are believed to contribute significantly to carcinogenesis. PAHs are found in food, air, water and soil and upon bioactivation can form diol epoxides which are electrophilic in...

The Gut Microbiome Drives Benzo[a]pyrene's Impact on Zebrafish Behavioral Development

Creator:: Sieler, Michael J.
Abstract:: Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) is a common environmental pollutant produced from the incomplete combustion of organic matter, such as fossil fuel emissions. In vertebrates, B[a]P exposure is associated with hyperactivity, though the underlying mechanisms driving this effect are undescribed. Mounting evidence indicates that the gut microbiome, which is the diverse community of...

Native wildlife species (Pseudacris regilla) utilizing invasive-dominated habitat in a highly disturbed ecosystem

Creator:: Epperly, Haley K.
Abstract:: The Pacific Treefrog (Pseudacris regilla) is commonly encountered throughout the Pacific Northwest and can be an indicator for ecosystem health. At each life stage P. regilla utilizes a different habitat and therefore it is important to understand habitat use at all life stages to properly manage the ecosystem, however, few...

Ecosystem Analysis of Wetland and Riparian Zone restoration at the Hart Mountain Antelope Refuge over Twenty Years

Creator:: Reis, Schyler Ainsworth
Abstract:: Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge (HMNAR) established in 1936, is 101,000 ha in area. The refuge was grazed by domestic livestock from the 1870s until their exclusion in 1990. Just prior to removal of livestock, photopoints were taken at various riparian and wetland locations throughout the refuge to document riparian...

Cyclic electron flow : Powering unique motility and alternative nitrogen uptake in Synechococcus WH8102 during nitrogen limited growth

Creator:: Dittrich, Jake E.
Abstract:: Global atmospheric carbon levels are continuing to rise from pre-industrial revolution levels. One of the main regulators of global atmospheric carbon levels, and thus climate, is the world's oceans. Unicellular marine cyanobacteria account for a large percent of total marine carbon fixation. We measured chlorophyll-specific ¹⁴C uptake rates (P[superscript b])...

Influence of flower native status, color, and morphology on visiting preferences of bees in riparian areas of eastern Oregon

Creator:: Roof, Samantha M.
Abstract:: Effectively restoring or conserving bee habitat requires a better understanding of the complex relationship between bees and flowering plants, but information about bee preferences is currently lacking. The purpose of this study was to examine bee-plant associations in a riparian area of Starkey Experimental Forest and Range (Starkey) in eastern...

Use of Artemisinin to Treat Mycoplasma haemolama Infection in Llamas

Creator:: Puccetti, Jessica N.
Abstract:: Mycoplasma haemolamae is associated with mild to marked anemia in stressed, immune-suppressed, and debilitated animals, and may be found in low numbers in healthy animals. The continued presence of the organism, detectable by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assay, may be associated with an underlying problem, such as stress or immune-suppression...
