  • Cellular Recognition, Division, and Proliferation in the Cnidarian-Dinoflagellate Symbiosis

    Creator:
    Tivey, Trevor R.
    Abstract:
    Cnidarians and their symbiotic dinoflagellates form a productive mutualism that shapes marine environments. In this symbiosis, dinoflagellate species from the family Symbiodiniacea reside within cnidarian host gastrodermal cells and provide the host with photosynthetically fixed carbon in exchange for host metabolites. This nutritional exchange allows both partners to thrive in...

  • Phenotypic and Transcriptomic Evolution of the Circadian Clock Network in an Intertidal Marine Crustacean

    Creator:
    Schneck, Daniel T.
    Abstract:
    Daily cyclical changes of light are brought on by the axial rotation of the Earth while seasonal changes in light are caused by Earth’s tilt as it revolves around the sun. Major life history traits, such as development, which are tied to metabolic processes, have a strong link to the...

  • Investigating connections between the circadian system and aging in Drosophila melanogaster

    Creator:
    Long, Dani M.
    Abstract:
    Circadian clocks coordinate molecular, cellular, physiological, and behavioral processes with the 24-hour solar day. While clock functions are well understood in young animals, it is not clear how aging or neurodegenerative disease affects the various levels of the circadian system. A common symptom of many neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease...

  • Adaptive Potential of Coastal Invertebrates to Environmental Stressors and Climate Change

    Creator:
    Burton, Andrea R.
    Abstract:
    Climate change presents multiple stressors that are impacting marine life. As carbon dioxide emissions continue to increase in the atmosphere, atmospheric and sea water temperatures increase. In addition, more carbon dioxide is absorbed into the oceans, reducing pH and aragonite saturation state, resulting in ocean acidification (OA). Tightly coupled with...

  • Metabolic and Immune Responses in Cnidarian-Symbiodiniaceae Symbiosis and Dysbiosis

    Creator:
    Sawiccy, Valeri
    Abstract:
    Coral reefs, found in tropical regions, are renowned for their rich biodiversity and their contributions to ecological, cultural, and economic aspects worldwide. The success of coral reefs hinges on the symbiotic partnership between corals and their dinoflagellate algae, from the family Symbiodiniaceae. The algae reside within the coral host’s gastrodermal...

  • Delimiting Species in the Mountaintops : New Trails for Studying Genomic Architecture and Sequencing Historical Specimens Uncover Hidden Diversity within the breve Species Group of Bembidion (Coleoptera : Carabidae)

    Creator:
    Sproul, John S.
    Abstract:
    Species are one of the foundational units upon which entire fields of scientific inquiry are built. Discovering and documenting the planet’s biodiversity remains one of the grand challenges of science. A proper conceptualization of species provides a critical framework for diverse fields such as biophysics, biochemistry, agriculture and pharmacology, and...

  • Turn-Taking in Face-to-Face Conversations: A Proposed Theory of Chair Swiveling

    Creator:
    Smith, Lyshuand R.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to propose swiveling behavior as a potential speech transitioning device and to discuss the methodology behind qualitative and quantitative analysis of swivels in relation to subjects’ partners. Due to the impacts of gaze and body orientation direction on speech transitioning, it is deduced that,...

  • Life History of the Northern Rubber Boa (Charina bottae) in Oregon

    Creator:
    Leppin, Mark V.
    Abstract:
    The Northern Rubber Boa (Charina bottae) is a small, secretive boa native to the Pacific Northwest. Despite this being possibly the highest latitude boas and one of only two boas native to the continental U.S., it has received surprisingly little attention. Most of the research on the natural history of...
