Using The MPA Guide to Better Understand Global Marine Conservation Efforts

Creator:: McArthur, Madeleine G.
Abstract:: Across the globe, Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been established to protect biodiversity, sustain fisheries, and preserve cultural resources. However, there exist broad differences among MPAs with respect to their establishment stage and protective regulations, making it difficult to quantify how much ocean protection is actually occurring. This thesis utilizes...

Evaluating the response of bees to visual attractants in resource-poor environments

Creator:: Parvin, Lucas
Abstract:: Bee populations are declining around the globe, while the need for their pollination services is increasing with growing food demands by an expanding population. There is a need for innovative practices to increase pollination in agricultural environments without harming wild bee populations. However, the use of artificial visual attractants has...

Acupuncture prevents the postpartum reduction in matrix metalloproteinase type-2 concentration and enzyme activity in bovine caruncles

Creator:: Hiebel, Katrina A.
Abstract:: The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of acupuncture in dairy cows on caruncular matrix metalloproteinase type-2 (MMP2) tissue concentration and enzyme activity at 0, 2, and 4 hours after calving. Immediately after natural calving, a caruncle was obtained from the body of the uterus and flash...

Abundances of raptors wintering in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, before and after a ban on grass field burning

Creator:: Caldwell, Stephanie E.
Abstract:: For the past 50 years, open-field burning has served as the main method to manage postharvest residue in grass seed fields within the Willamette Valley. Recently, farmers have implemented the full straw load and clean-nonthermal methods to remove straw after harvest. We hypothesized that these two alternative methods have caused...

Next-generation sequencing of Coleomyia (Diptera: Asilidae)

Creator:: Cohen, Chris M.
Abstract:: Coleomyia (Diptera: Asilidae) is a small genus of robber flies found in western North America, totaling eight described species. The goal of this project was to sequence the transcriptome and genome of Coleomyia. In the most recent phylogenetic analysis, it could not be placed in a recognized subfamily. Furthermore, there...

Social Context Affects Response to an Acute Stressor in Captive Red Crossbills, Loxia curvirostra

Creator:: Tsuchihashi, Natsumi
Abstract:: Sociality relies upon mechanisms that permit group living through a balance of costs and benefits. However, it is not fully known how specific social contexts influence behavioral and physiological outcomes, and more broadly, how responses to social situations contribute to social organization. A recent experiment investigating the relationship between social...

Abiotic and biotic predictors of coastal giant salamander (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) in headwaters of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Neal, Nathaniel G.
Abstract:: From British Columbia to northern California, coastal giant salamanders (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) are a dominant vertebrate predator in headwater streams. Though widespread, salamander health and abundance levels differ greatly between locations, provoking the question as to what factors may influence this variation and whether habitat features or biotic variables play a...

Effect of Captivity on Chemical Profiles of the Sexual Attractiveness Pheromone of the Red-Sided Garter Snake, Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis

Creator:: Rudie, Katherine A.
Abstract:: This study investigated the effect of captivity on the chemical profiles of the female sexual attractiveness pheromone of the red-sided garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis). Dorsal skin lipids were extracted from female garter snakes collected from the Interlake region of Manitoba, Canada. A comparison of captive and wild snakes was...

Determining the Onset of Reproductive Capacity in Free-Roaming, Unowned Cats

Creator:: Bohrer, Ellie
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis was to determine if an underlying biological cause exists for the exuberant reproductive success in free-roaming unowned (FRU) cats. The hypothesis for this thesis was that FRU tom and queen cats have reproductively adapted to man-made sterilization efforts by lowering the age at which they...

How competitive are iconic competitors? Testing resource partitioning in Great Basin chipmunks

Creator:: Ormand, Elora J.
Abstract:: Competitive exclusion is a key concept in ecology describing the exclusion of one species by another from access to a limited resource. Competitive interactions between chipmunk species in the Great Basin, documented by James Brown in 1970, are often used as a textbook example of competitive exclusion. Whether competitive interactions...
