  • Life History of the Northern Rubber Boa (Charina bottae) in Oregon

    Creator:
    Leppin, Mark V.
    Abstract:
    The Northern Rubber Boa (Charina bottae) is a small, secretive boa native to the Pacific Northwest. Despite this being possibly the highest latitude boas and one of only two boas native to the continental U.S., it has received surprisingly little attention. Most of the research on the natural history of...

  • Diving into Diversity: Fish Populations and Climate Resilience in an Endorheic Basin

    Creator:
    Dew, Aleah
    Abstract:
    The Goose Lake Basin, situated on the border of Oregon and California, USA, faces significant challenges from drought, wildfire, and other environmental stressors. This region hosts numerous endemic fish species such as the Goose Lake redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss newberri), Goose Lake lamprey (Entosphenus sp.), Goose Lake tui chub (Siphateles...

  • Assessment and Recommendations for Interpretive Programming around Climate Change at the Glades Wildlife Refuge

    Creator:
    Boyd, Kelsey
    Abstract:
    This paper identifies 51 best practices of interpretive programming in relation to the topic of climate change and applies those practices to interpretive programs delivered by Natural Lands, a Pennsylvania environmental non-profit organization, and specifically at the Glades Wildlife Refuge, one of Natural Lands’ nature preserves. The best practices are...

  • Red tree voles in fragmented forests

    Creator:
    Piasecki, Jason T.
    Abstract:
    The red tree vole (Arborimus longicaudus) is an arboreal Arvicoline rodent endemic to conifer dominated forests of western Oregon and northwestern California. While commonly associated with old forests, often inhabiting stands over 80 years old, tree voles have also been found in young forests between 20 and 80 years old....

  • Seismic survey vessel noise pollution in nearshore Southern Oregon : spatial and temporal analysis of demersal fish movements

    Creator:
    Borland, Lauren K.
    Abstract:
    Sound is a crucial aspect of the underwater environment for fishes – various species use sound to communicate, identify predators, navigate, and many other activities needed for survival in their habitat. Disruptions and disturbances in the natural soundscape can have important impacts on all these activities and are likely to...

  • Effects of Priming an Academic or Athletic Identity on Task Persistence

    Creator:
    Byers, Stephanie
    Abstract:
    The effects of priming complex schemas within the context of one’s social group are understudied, and it is unknown whether activating these schemas can have temporary impacts on how we identify within our social group. I investigated how a set of dynamic primes intended to activate complex schemas (i.e., academic...

  • The hazards-housing nexus : adaptive capacity wheel analysis of coastal planning institutions

    Creator:
    Patterson, Trisha
    Abstract:
    The Oregon coast faces complex environmental and social challenges, such as the threat of a regionally disastrous Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) earthquake and tsunami. Researchers are united in their assertion that the CSZ is new, the region is due for a quake, and to mitigate this hazard society must collaborate...

  • The Effects of Ploidy Manipulation on ‘I3’ hemp

    Creator:
    McLeod, Adigun
    Abstract:
    Hemp is a dioecious, annual, flowering plant in the Cannabaceae family. It has been used for thousands of years to produce textiles, essential oils, and medicines. The overall purpose of these experiments was to propagate the cannabinoid-free cultivar, ‘I3’, and follow up by inducing polyploidy in the ‘I3’ hemp via...

  • Projecting White Pine Blister Rust Hazard Ratings Under Climate Change in Southwestern Oregon

    Creator:
    Cicekli, Zeynep
    Abstract:
    Sugar pine and western white pine are widely distributed, economically valuable, and ecologically important native tree species in North America. However, white pine blister rust (WPBR), caused by a non-native fungal pathogen, Cronartium ribicola J.C. Fisch. in Rabh., has substantially affected populations of these species. Cronartium is an obligate parasite,...

  • Design, Experimental Testing, and Numerical Analysis of a Three-Story Mass Timber Building with a Pivoting Spine and Buckling-Restrained Energy Dissipators

    Creator:
    Araújo R., Gustavo A.
    Abstract:
    The engineering community is increasingly moving towards the design of seismic force-resisting systems that limit post-earthquake damage and reduce downtime to increase urban resiliency. For example, structural spines can be used to provide an elastic load path to impose a more uniform drift distribution with building height, thereby reducing the...
