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...

Histologic and Morphometric Evaluation of Testes of Feral Tom Kittens and Cats

Creator:: Bohrer, Ellie R., Mihalyo, Anna, and Kutzler, Michelle
Abstract:: Background: Even with numerous successful Trap-Neuter-Release programs, feral cat populations continue to grow. Our laboratory is interested in determining if an underlying biological cause exists for the exuberant reproductive success in this once domestic subspecies. An earlier age for developing reproductive capacity (onset of spermatogenesis in males) may be one...

Making the microbial world large : assessing best microbiological engagement and teaching methods for high school students

Creator:: Boryer, Ellie
Abstract:: With mounting distrust for science, finding effective ways to educate the next generation of scientists has become increasingly important. Microbiology is a prevalent and complex subject and is at the forefront of developing cutting-edge technologies for a more in-depth look into the unseen world. However, many people are only ever...

Tendon Cell Viability: Validation of an Ex Vivo Model to Examine the Cellular Characteristics of Tendinopathy

Creator:: MacGregor, Ellie
Abstract:: Tendinopathy is characterized by injured or inflamed tendons and can be caused by long durations of strain or excessive tension being applied. Current treatments for tendinopathy may include physical therapy and pain management. However, these methods may not heal the tendon or restore it to its original healthy state. New...

Health Barriers and Associated Individual and Healthcare Professional Interventions

Creator:: Fun, Sara Ellie
Abstract:: In the context of the obesity epidemic, the current study aimed to evaluate the health barriers individuals face towards living a healthy lifestyle. Furthermore, we sought to understand how individuals perceive they can overcome their health barriers, and how they believe healthcare professionals can help them overcome their health barriers....

The Effect of Zinc Status and Age on Liver Health in Mice

Creator:: Braun, Kendra N.
Abstract:: Age-related diseases have been associated with chronic inflammation and impaired immune response, one of the hallmarks of aging. Aging individuals also have a higher susceptibility to zinc deficiency. The effects of zinc deficiency share many commonalities with the effects of aging on the immune system and zinc deficiency may be...

Comparison of Canine Spermatozoa Motility, Morphology, and RNA Integrity Using Three Different Cell Purification Solutions

Creator:: Hegedus, Rachel M.
Abstract:: Transcriptome gene expression studies of sperm RNA have been utilized in a variety of different species to investigate causes of male infertility. Previous research investigators have optimized cell separation and RNA isolation techniques for each species of interest. To date, no study has been completed for dogs. The objective of...

Detrital Input and Removal Treatment (DIRT) Network Soil Analysis in the UMBS Michigan Field Site

Creator:: Bushyhead, Coryn N.
Abstract:: Soil contains approximately 75% of the carbon pool on land - three times more than the amount stored in living plants and animals (Schlesinger 1999). Therefore, soils play a major role in maintaining a balanced global carbon cycle. Models of the soil carbon ecosystem assume a strong relationship between organic...

Marine Nitrogen Subsidies to Terrestrial Systems: Transport Through Wrack Deposition

Creator:: Traylor, Andrew
Abstract:: Fluctuations in one system affect adjacent systems; mechanistic understanding of linkages helps conservation efforts be more effective by focusing on influential species and areas that facilitate connections between ecosystems. This study explored marine-derived nutrient inputs to adjacent terrestrial communities. We quantified wrack (seaweed and other organic matter) deposition at sites...
