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,...

Context and Scale Mediate the Impact of Climate on a Widespread Avian Predator

Creator:: Brawner, Michael D.
Abstract:: Anthropogenic climate change is threatening biodiversity as I currently understand it. There is now a large body of work highlighting species responses, globally, to this threat. Importantly, responses at the species level emerge from responses at lower levels of biological organization (individuals and populations) across a species’ geographic range. For...

Linking Space, Time, and Elevation through Diet: Stable Isotope Analysis of Functionally Diverse Rodents in the Great Basin

Creator:: Taylor, David S.
Abstract:: Ecology is focused on understanding how organisms interact with each other and their environments, across ecological, spatial, and temporal scales. Thus, understanding how processes and patterns of ecological systems change across space and time is a principle goal for conservation biologist globally. While many approaches exist for investigating the changing...

Influence of the Environment and Morphology on Physiological and Genomic Homeostasis in a Temperate Cnidarian-microbe Symbiosis

Creator:: Koch, Jack C.
Abstract:: Climate change and other anthropogenic impacts are threatening the existence of millions of species around the globe. On western continental boundaries, the large-scale secondary process of upwelling, which brings low pH, deoxygenated, high nutrient seawater to the surface, is compounded by climate change, that together could drive some species to...

Amphibian Population Declines and Extinctions: Disease in Amphibian Communities with Cascading Effects in Freshwater Communities

Creator:: Harjoe, Carmen C.
Abstract:: Earth is experiencing unprecedented biodiversity loss. Amphibians are at the forefront of this biodiversity loss, with species declines estimated to be more severe than those of birds and mammals. Amphibian population declines and extinctions are driven by a number of factors including climate change, habitat destruction, contaminants and disease but...

Communities in Flux: The Influence of Hydroperiod on Aquatic Invertebrate Communities in Temporary Ponds

Creator:: Kruse, Christi A.
Abstract:: A central theme of ecology is determining factors that influence species distributions. Within aquatic ecology, species present in flowing waters are primarily influenced by the natural flow patterns of the stream (natural flow regime paradigm) while explanations of species present in standing waters are further divided by habitat type. To...

Carbon storage in U.S. Pacific Northwest coastal dunes : the role of invasive beachgrasses and sand supply

Creator:: Stepanek, John
Abstract:: As global atmospheric carbon emissions continue to rise, scientists and land managers are increasingly looking to natural ecosystems to sequester and store carbon to buffer the impacts of climate change. Despite their small geographic size, many coastal ecosystems such as salt marshes, seagrass meadows, and mangroves sequester large amounts of...

Spatial and vertical distribution of the invasive European green crab, Carcinus maenas, in a temperate estuarine system

Creator:: Lundeberg, Christopher A. and Weldon, Taylor
Abstract:: Carcinus maenas is an invasive marine predator. Its generalist feeding strategies make it one of the most effective invaders. Carcinus maenas has invasive populations throughout the world, and was recently introduced to the west coast of North America. This study looks at the abundance and growth of C. maenas in...

Investigating the Role of Dune Grasses, Carbon Storage, and Marine Nutrient Subsidies to the Functions and Services of U.S. Central Atlantic Coastal Dune Ecosystems

Creator:: Jay, Katya R.
Abstract:: Sandy beaches and dunes cover approximately one-third of the world’s ice-free coastlines and provide ecosystem services including coastal protection, recreation, wildlife habitat, and carbon sequestration. These dynamic interface habitats are variably shaped by wind, waves, sedimentary processes, and vegetation feedbacks. Positive biophysical feedbacks lead to the formation of vegetated coastal...

Predicting Protein-Protein Interactions in a Cnidarian Model System

Creator:: Gregory, Dylan B.
Abstract:: The symbiotic sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana (Aiptasia) is a model organism used to better understand cnidarian-algal symbiosis and coral bleaching (dysbiosis). Many biological processes are hypothesized to be involved in coral dysbiosis, and the innate immunity is a key area of interest. Rab proteins are small proteins with GTPase domains,...
