Ecological thresholds, climate extremes, and tree species' distributions across the Pacific coastal United States

Creator:: Lintz, Heather E.
Abstract:: Species' distributions across the landscape are perhaps the least understood yet most conspicuous features of life on earth. Ecologists have long studied species' distributions; yet, many questions remain about why species occur where they do. Such questions persist largely because species' distributions are complex systems with challenging properties like non-linearity,...

So Long and Thanks for All the Sponge: Cryptic Intertidal Communities, Consequences of Ocean Acidification, and New Directions for Science Education

Creator:: Rickborn, Alissa J.
Abstract:: The current generation of scientists will be asked to mitigate climate change, stall biodiversity loss, and protect ecological communities. These are tasks that require a knowledge of both ecological and social systems to be undertaken successfully. Therefore, my dissertation spans the fields of community ecology and social sciences in an...

Development of a rare earth element paleoproxy

Creator:: Haley, Brian Alexander, 1973-
Abstract:: This thesis describes the development of a rare earth element (REE) proxy for paleoceanographic studies of climate change. This work was done in three stages with the goal: (1) To develop a cleaning method that overcomes the problems of REE readsorption; (2) To measure pore water REEs for evaluation of...

Physically active adult women's experiences with plus-size athletic apparel

Creator:: Christel, Deborah A.
Abstract:: Substantial research on the functionality of athletic apparel has been conducted; however little consideration has been given to the plus size figure. Societal messages suggest that overweight women are lazy and therefore would not be interested in athletic apparel. The purpose of this study was to determine overweight adult women's...

Monte Carlo Radiation Transfer Simulations of Gamma Ray Burst Prompt Emission

Creator:: Parsotan, Tyler M.
Abstract:: Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic explosions in the Universe, producing up to $\sim10^{53}$ ergs of energy in the first few seconds of their emission -- the so-called prompt phase that is dominated by high energy X-ray and $\gamma$-ray photons. The very large luminosities released in these events...

Greater sage-grouse reproductive ecology : linkages among habitat resources, maternal nutrition, and chick survival

Creator:: Gregg, Michael A.
Abstract:: Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations declined range wide during the past 50 years. Grouse populations were 2-3 times larger than the current population as recently as the early 1970's. In addition to habitat loss and fragmentation, declines were attributed habitat degradation that caused reduced productivity. Because chick survival remains the...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) Kernel Polymers as Breeding Targets for Improved End-Use Quality

Creator:: Trittinger, Susanne
Abstract:: Wheat is a staple food crop with many applications. The composition and quantity of major and minor flour components greatly influence functional dough properties, processing quality, and end-use suitability. Seven to 15% of the weight of wheat flour is protein and the gluten proteins comprise 80-85% of that. The gluten...

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...

Transcription factor CTIP2 regulates hair follicle development, hair cycling and wound healing

Creator:: Bhattacharya, Shreya
Abstract:: The integumentary system is the largest organ system of the body that comprises of skin and its appendages such as hair follicles, sebaceous and sweat glands. Skin is divided into three distinct structural layers: the epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. The epidermis originates from the ectoderm and is composed of four...
