Oceanographic influences on rocky intertidal communities : coastal upwelling, invertebrate growth rates, and keystone predation

Creator:: Sanford, Eric (Eric David)
Abstract:: The influence of large-scale processes on natural communities has become one of the central issues of modern ecology. I combined field and laboratory studies to investigate the effects of variation in coastal upwelling on rocky intertidal communities along the central Oregon coast. I examined whether the growth of intertidal barnacles...

Molecular study of the cytopathic mechanisms of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus in vivo and in vitro

Creator:: Anderson, Eric David
Abstract:: Molecular biological approaches were used to study and interfere with the life cycle of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV). These included the control of IHN disease in rainbow trout by genetic immunization or interference in vitro by synthesis of sense and antisense expression of the viral nucleocapsid (N) gene, and...

An historical review of Kolb's formulation of experiential learning theory

Creator:: Hickcox, Leslie K. (Leslie Kay), 1951-
Abstract:: The central purposes of this study were to review the historical sources of David Kolb's formulation of experiential learning theory, and to determine the effect and application of Kolb's theory and Learning Style Inventory as reflected in the literature between 1971 and 1990. It was found that Kolb based his...

Improving Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) production through selective breeding

Creator:: Evans, Sanford, 1968-
Abstract:: Shellfish growers have expressed interest in developing high-yielding oyster strains through selective breeding. This dissertation has three objectives to help determine the effects of genetic and environmental variation on production traits (body weight, survival, and yield) of Pacific oysters grown in the Pacific Northwest. Objective 1: Determine if relative family...

Bridging environmental physiology and community ecology : temperature effects at the community level

Creator:: Iles, Alison C.
Abstract:: Most climate change predictions focus on the response of individual species to changing local conditions and ignore species interactions, largely due to the lack of a sound theoretical foundation for how interactions are expected to change with climate and how to incorporate them into climate change models. Much of the...

Belowground carbon storage and soil organic matter quality following fertilizer and herbicide applications in ponderosa pine plantations along a site-quality gradient in northern California

Creator:: McFarlane, Karis J., 1979-
Abstract:: Belowground carbon (C) storage and quality of soil organic matter (SOM) in forest soils have implications for sustainable forest management and C sequestration, but how these pools change in response to management is poorly understood. I investigated whether fertilization and competing vegetation control, applied alone or in combination early in...

Identifying knowledge and attitudes toward sexual expression among selected 65 to 74 year olds, utilizing a structured interview

Creator:: Smith, Margaret M. (Margaret Mary), 1942-
Abstract:: The two major purposes of this study were to gather data relative to the knowledge and attitudes toward sexual expression among sixty-five to seventy-four year olds and to determine whether or not significant differences existed between the sexes. The study focused on six research questions: These were: 1. Do older...

A causal study of attitudes toward intercollegiate athletics of Oregon State University undergraduate students in three academic majors

Creator:: Ruhl, Glenn David
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine and explain attitudes toward intercollegiate athletics of undergraduate students in three academic majors attending Oregon State University. The attitudes of a proportionate random sample consisting of 215 students were measured according to their responses to thirty-two Likert scale items containing six sub-scale...

Natural Products Discovery from Unique Microbial Habitats

Creator:: Gallegos, David A.
Abstract:: Marine natural products possess an abundance of diverse chemical scaffolds with unique biological activities. By targeting unusual or unique microbial environments within varying marine ecologies we can continue to discover novel chemistry with potentially new molecular targets. The research presented here is focused on exploring unusual chemical ecologies and the...
