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...

Changes in Otolith Shape in Juvenile Chinook Salmon in Different Hatchery Rearing Conditions

Creator:

Ehrke, Melissa A.

Abstract:

The decline of the Chinook Salmon has been a mystery of recent years due to their decline. It has been speculated that wild origin salmon have more vigor and survivability than hatchery reared fish. This is thought to be due to rearing conditions, possibly affecting sensory organ development. The sensory...

Controlled Orientation of Engineered Carbonic Anhydrase on a Surface : A Model for Protein Immobilization for Biosensors and Biomaterials

Creator:

Brown, Wesley

Abstract:

Current protein immobilization techniques lack defined control over protein orientation. Protein orientation is important for making biosensors and biomaterials that are sensitive and efficient and can be crucial for designing some devices such as immunosensors or direct electron transferring biocells. A new method of protein immobilization is proposed that takes...
