  • Integrating functional trait frameworks into restoration : the role of seed and seedling traits in recruitment success

    Creator:
    Larson, Julie E.
    Abstract:
    Seeding is a vital tool to facilitate recovery of degraded ecosystems, but low seedling recruitment rates limit the utility of this practice in a range of ecosystems across the globe. Plant functional traits impact individual fitness through effects on growth, reproduction and survival. Consequently, seed and seedling trait variation among...

    Creator:
    Kennedy, Tallon R.
    Abstract:
    This thesis offers a theory of queer materiality as a way of understanding the interconnectedness of freaks, ghosts, and madness in Victorian culture, and how these elements coalesce in Victorian literature to destabilize the knowable materiality of normative social structures and forms of embodiment, leading to the production of queer...

  • An Evental Romanticism

    Creator:
    Webster, Austin
    Abstract:
    The Romantic period sits in a liminal historical space when radically different ideas about the categories of past, future, progress, and change coexisted in popular consciousness. The French Revolution inaugurated the concept of an Event, something that appears to come out of nowhere, and that not even the most well-informed...

    Abstract:
    A number of steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) populations are at risk throughout Oregon, including five populations that are federally listed as threatened or endangered. However, little is known about behavior and survival of these fish as they transition from freshwater to seawater. We investigated whether estuarine survival varies on a temporal...

  • Effects of Stage 0 Stream Restoration on Aquatic Macroinvertebrate Production

    Creator:
    Jennings, Jeremy C.
    Abstract:
    Contemporary stream restoration efforts increasingly prioritize restoring natural stream processes to regain lost ecosystem functions. Stage 0 stream restoration resets disturbed, channelized streams to a theoretical pre-disturbance state (“stage zero”). It is assumed that this valley-scale restoration/disturbance will restore natural abiotic and biotic processes, leading to greater primary and secondary...

    Creator:
