Facility Planning for Large Equine Facilities in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Glenn, Aimee K.
Abstract:: Large equine facilities are comprised of many different departments (areas) that are necessary for the proper care and maintenance of horses. The placement of departments is often inefficient due to the slow growth of equine facilities. As a result, facility layout becomes a crucial aspect requiring explicit consideration because mandatory...

Old Crops in a New World: Bringing Andean Tuber Crops to the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Reers, Michelle
Abstract:: Though currently relatively unknown outside Latin America, Andean root and tuber crops are rapidly gaining interest elsewhere. Tubers are a major food and important sources of nutrition in South America and have potential in countries outside their center of origin. We conducted a two-part study on oca (Oxalis tuberosa), mashua...

Predicting the effects of climate change : effects of thermal stress on seaweeds in the Galapagos rocky intertidal

Creator:: Harris, Alyssa L.
Abstract:: Because global warming is predicted to increase the severity of El Niño events in the future, understanding how warmer temperatures affect seaweed growth and the animals associated with seaweeds is important for predicting how marine ecosystems will change. The Galapagos Islands of Ecuador are considered a living laboratory for studying...

Salal in old growth forests : The significance of gaps in understory carbon balancewith and examination of the link between climate change and rural livelihoods in developing countries : an opportunity for Latin America

Creator:: Mayfield, Joyce Bybee
Abstract:: Gaps in the forest canopy allow more light to reach the understory. Since light in the understory is heterogeneous, understanding the physiological processes in gaps and non-gaps will improve estimates of carbon balance. This research outlines an approach for defining carbon balance for Salal (Gaultheria shallon Pursh.), a dominant understory...

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...

Facilitators and Barriers to Contraceptive Use among College-Age Latinas: Listening to Student Health Care Providers

Creator:: Farr, Carly Michelle
Abstract:: This study explored factors that affect acquisition and proper use of contraception among the college-age Latina population at Oregon State University. Interviews were conducted with eleven health care providers at OSU’s Student Health Services during the spring of 2014. Using content analysis we identified individual-level barriers including lack of knowledge...

Avian Community Assembly Following Volcanic Disturbance at Volcán Arenal, Costa Rica and Mount St. Helens, USA

Creator:: Fairchild, Karl C.
Abstract:: Volcanism is an agent of major disturbance in many parts of the world. While the effects of volcanic disturbance are fairly well-known among some groups of species, few studies have been performed in bird communities. Likewise, few studies have attempted to compare how communities in temperate and tropical biomes respond...

Local Viewpoints on Conservation and Development at Malio, Andohahela National Park, Madagascar

Creator:: Bucht, Karin R.
Abstract:: Madagascar, home to a high degree of endemic species and has been subject to numerous programs and organizations intent on preserving its biodiversity, which is currently pressured largely by anthropogenic causes. Protected areas, including national parks, make up a central part of these conservation efforts, combining ecotourism and restricting access...
