Zooarchaeologjcal and Taphonomic Investigations of Site 35JA42, Upper Applegate River, Southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Schmitt, Dave N.
Abstract:: Site 35JA42 represents the first protohistoric village complex excavated in Southwest Oregon. Analyses of animal bones recovered from the site offer the first significant insights into human subsistence behaviors in this region. Although the faunal assemblage is extremely fragmented, detailed zooarchaeological analysis indicates that deer were the primary meat resource...

Wild nature or the garden : conservation themes in the forests of Tarzan and Herland/Ourland

Creator:: Davis, Caryn M.
Abstract:: At first glance, Edgar Rice Burroughs's wildly popular romantic fantasy novel, Tarzan of the Apes (1912), and Charlotte Perkins Gilman's feminist science fiction-utopian novel, Herland (1915), with its dystopian companion, With Her in Ourland (1916), may appear to have little in common. Tarzan celebrates the human connection with wild nature...

Where Old West meets New West : confronting conservation, conflict and change on Utah's last frontier

Creator:: Leaver, Jennifer Jensen
Abstract:: In the United States during the last 30 years there has been a shift from extractive natural resource-based economies of the Old West to a New West defined by environmental protection. Over the past century, a growing national support for environmental protection has influenced a lengthening list of national and...

What do people think about genetically engineering trees? A qualitative inquiry to understand how people reason about using forest biotechnology to address forest health threats

Creator:: Emery, Elizabeth R.
Abstract:: Climate change is increasing the severity of pest and pathogen infestations affecting forests. Resulting shifts in disturbance patterns can have substantial ecological, social, and economic impacts on forested ecosystems and their dependent communities. Researchers are actively investigating methods to improve tree resistance to specific pests and pathogens and enhance forest...

Water quality impacts of free ranging cattle in semi-arid environments

Creator:: Larsen, Royce E.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects that free ranging cattle have on water quality in semi-arid environments. There were three specific objectives: 1) To determine the concentration and distribution of cattle feces in meadows, riparian zones, and the associated uplands. 2) To determine the fecal deposition...

Using Interpretive Signs and Theory-based Messaging to Protect the Western Snowy Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus)

Creator:: Schoenleber, Carli
Abstract:: Although the human health and social benefits from outdoor recreation are numerous, there is mounting evidence that outdoor recreation can negatively impact wildlife. Shorebirds are known to be especially sensitive to recreation-related disturbance because they nest and forage directly on beaches that are often used for recreation. Many studies have...

Ultrafiltration Membrane Fouling in Side-stream Aerobic Granular Sludge Membrane Bioreactor

Creator:: Yang, Zhengjian
Abstract:: The integration of low-pressure membrane filtration and aerobic granular sludge (AGS) reactor leads to a novel environmental biotechnological process with strong potential to overcome membrane fouling and demonstrate excellent wastewater treatment performance. However, membrane fouling mechanisms in the AGS based membrane bioreactor (MBR) are lack of systematic elaboration. In the...

Truth to Nature: The Art and Ecology of Hudson River School Painting

Creator:: Loeb, Harper
Abstract:: Beginning with the inception of American art history as a formal discipline in the 1940s, the dominant mode of interpreting nineteenth-century American landscape painting has been to view aspects of the landscape as symbols for grand cultural, religious, national, and moral narratives. While this method of interpretation highlights some key...

Thornthwaite's moisture index as a measure of the intensity to which harvested cropland is devoted to corn under natural climatic conditions

Creator:: Hall, Robert Newell
Abstract:: Moisture has long been identified as one of the major limiting factors in the distribution of agricultural land use practices. However, the importance of any environmental element can only be determined by considering how it is affected by its relationship with other elements of the environment. Thornthwaite's moisture index attempts...

Theory of Action for Pro-Environmental Behavior Change at Zoos & Aquariums

Creator:: Canzoneri, Nicolette M.
Abstract:: In recent years, zoos and aquariums have become prominent centers for environmental education and have focused much of their organizational efforts towards conservation and inspiring conservation action among visitors. However, there is little research available to support the efficacy of these efforts, especially in relation to the behavioral outcomes associated...
