Community gradients of Arctic macrolichens in relation to succession, grazing and the environment

Creator:: Holt, Emily A.
Abstract:: The purpose of this dissertation was to define macrolichen community gradients in relation to succession, grazing and the environment. First, species scores indicating when macrolichen species appeared following disturbance were derived from the literature. Weighted averaging of these data with a community matrix created a successional score for each sample...

Conservation of Oenothera wolfii (Onagraceae) : introducing a threatened plant into two protected locations in Oregon

Creator:: Currin, Rebecca E.
Abstract:: The showy biennial to short-lived perennial Oenothera wolfii (Munz) Raven, Dietrich & Stubbe (Wolf’s evening primrose) occurs in only a small number of isolated populations on the southern Oregon and northern California coast. This rare species is currently listed as Threatened in Oregon, and is considered a Species of Concern...

Biology of sweet cherry powdery mildew

Creator:: Calabro, Jill M.
Abstract:: The Pacific Northwest has become one of the nation’s premier sweet cherry, Prunus avium, production areas. As production of sweet cherries has flourished in Oregon and Washington, so has powdery mildew, caused by the fungus Podosphaera clandestina, which infects both foliage and fruit causing severe economic damage to growers. Sweet...

Responses and relationships among Fusarium species, sweet corn, and western spotted cucumber beetles

Creator:: Miller, Nathan L. (Nathan Louis)
Abstract:: Sweet corn (Zea mays L.) yields in the Willamette Valley of Oregon have been declining since the early 1990’s. Studies were done to determine if there is a relationship between ear weight and several disease parameters including necrotic crowns or stalk nodes, nodal root rot, radicle root rot, and sub-crown...

The influence of pollinators on the maintenance of mixed mating in a population of the blue columbine, Aquilegia coerulea (Ranunculaceae)

Creator:: Sweet, Heather R.
Abstract:: Pollination ecology may play an important role in the maintenance of selfing in populations of self-compatible hermaphroditic plants where both selfing and outcrossing occur (mixed mating). Behavior and abundance of pollinators can influence the two major modes of selfing; autogamy (selfing within a flower) and geitonogamy (selfing between flowers on...

New perspectives on evolutionary relationships within Pinus (Pinaceae) and within subsection Ponderosae (subgenus Pinus)

Creator:: Willyard, Ann Nachreiner
Abstract:: A fossil-calibrated phylogenetic framework based on exemplars from each of the four taxonomic sections within Pinus was created using multiple nuclear and chloroplast loci. Calibration at the well-defined subgeneric split within Pinus with either fossil leaves and cones (ca. 45 million years ago) or fossil wood (ca. 85 million years...

Biology of chlamydospores of Phytophthora ramorum

Creator:: Smith, Aaron Lee
Abstract:: The chlamydospore is a survival spore produced by 35 of the 75 described species of Phytophthora. Phytophthora ramorum Werres, de Cock & Man in't Veld, the causal agent of Sudden Oak Death (SOD), produces abundant chlamydospores in artificial culture and plant tissue. The chlamydospore is likely the most important survival...

Functional groups, traits, and the performance of species in restoration

Creator:: Roberts, Rachael E. (Rachael Elaine)
Abstract:: In ecological restoration, species that are sown to increase the native plant diversity range in establishment ability. Some species readily establish, while others rarely do. This study set out to investigate some of the potential processes influencing species establishment, as well as the traits that are associated with the success...

Understanding sporulation and dissemination of Podosphaera macularis, hop powdery mildew

Creator:: Peetz, Amy B.
Abstract:: Podosphaera macularis causes one of the most important diseases, powdery mildew, of Humulus lupulus (hop). If left unmanaged, hop powdery mildew can cause total crop loss due to disease or browning of hop cones rendering the cones unmarketable to buyers. The Hop Powdery Mildew Infection Risk Index (HOPS) is heavily...

Plant communities and succession in Oregon coastal salt marshes

Creator:: Jefferson, Carol A.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine plant species composition, community structure, successional relationships, vegetational development and plant distributions in estuarine salt marshes on the Pacific Coast of Oregon. Quadrat and transect samples of plant presence and cover, collected from April 1971 - June 1974, were subjected to phytosociological...
