The effects of marine biodiversity loss on coastal economics

Creator:: McAbery, Emma
Abstract:: The oceans are one of humanity’s greatest resources, providing food, raw materials, livelihoods, and protection. More than 3 billion people around the world rely on marine life as a source of protein as well as their livelihood. Seafood is one of the highest traded commodities globally and many major cities...

Stress and Learning in Larval Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Creator:: Moussaoui, Bushra
Abstract:: In this study, we characterize the behavioral response of larval zebrafish (Danio rerio) to the noxious chemical allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), an agonist of the nociceptive TRPA1 ion channel, and utilize AITC as an aversive stimulus in an associative learning paradigm. We find that larvae exposed to AITC in both a...

The Effect of Chiropractic Treatment on Biomechanical Imbalances and Pain Response in Horses

Creator:: Prichard, Taylor M.
Abstract:: Chiropractic treatment is used to reduce stiffness and pain. While more thoroughly studied in humans, it has been shown to be effective in horses, but relatively little evidence exists to quantify the benefits. To address this shortcoming, four methods were used to assess the effects of chiropractic treatment in horses...

A Dysfunctional System: Policy Recommendations for the Adult (18-65) Homeless and Severely Mentally Ill Population in Oregon

Creator:: Miller, Donielle F.
Abstract:: Adults with severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) are overrepresented in the homeless population, and Oregon’s homeless population has expanded in recent years. In the 1950s, the mentally ill were moved out of the state hospitals and into the community. However, due to a lack of support services in the...

Investigating synergistic effects of climate and land-use change on the pollination of a tropical plant, Heliconia tortuosa

Creator:: Dowd, Claire E.
Abstract:: Loss of biodiversity due to the effects of climate and land-use change may have implications for pollination services. Disruption to phenological synchronicity or a reduction in the overlap in species distributions of plants and their pollinators may reduce floral resources to pollinators, forcing them to move farther distances. If pollinators...

The Heart of Elevation: Investigating the Physiological and Neural Mechanisms Underlying Moral Elevation

Creator:: Hutchinson, James Spencer
Abstract:: Moral elevation refers to the distinct state of warmth and expansion that some individuals experience after witnessing or learning about the altruistic acts of others. Elevation is a particularly interesting positive emotion for its capacity to promote various altruistic behaviors, as well as motivate witnesses to improve their character. The...

The effect of feeding spent hemp biomass on bone growth in broiler chickens

Creator:: Pearce, Carolyn
Abstract:: Spent hemp biomass (SHB) is a byproduct of the cannabinoid oil production which currently is not approved as a livestock feed ingredient. The 2018 Farm Bill defined the difference between varieties of the cannabis sativa plant as either non-hemp cannabis or hemp which has equal to or less than 0.3...

Assessment of potential bioremediation of heavy metals found in treated wood by ectomycorrhizal and wood-decay fungi in pure culture and the bioremoval of fruiting bodies

Creator:: Donnelly, Johanna
Abstract:: Treated wood commodities disposed of in landfills contain chemicals that can migrate into the environment. Wood treatments such as ammoniacal copper zinc arsenate (ACZA) contain heavy metals which prevent the biological degradation of wood. These metals can migrate out of treated wood into soil or groundwater, posing environmental hazards. This...

Intertidal Ecology along the Western Coastlines of the Pacific : Upwelling and Bottom-up Effects in Chile and Oregon

Creator:: Murphy, Christina A.
Abstract:: The coastal regions of Chile and Oregon are some of the most productive ecosystems in the world. The intertidal communities of both areas have been well studied, but much remains to be learned about how those communities are structured over large scales. Here, I explore the upwelling regimes and the...

The effects of interspecies interactions and environmental conditions on biomass accumulation of sessile organisms within Oregon’s rocky mid-intertidal habitats

Creator:: Carsh, Alexander C.
Abstract:: With changing climate conditions and human impacts on ecosystems becoming a big focus of study, it has become even more crucial to understand how our ecosystems work. Community structure within rocky intertidal habitats is governed by a mix of environmental conditions and species interactions. This project examined the effects of...
