Biodiversity : illustrations of some concepts, causes, and consequences

Creator:: Russell, Roland B.
Abstract:: Careful analysis and thoughtful synthesis will be necessary for expanding the envelope of ecological understanding. This work is my attempt at communicating both of these, in relation to three questions about our understanding of the structure and dynamics of biological diversity. These questions focus on a) advancing our understanding of...

Effects of pesticides on amphibians with special reference to the pyrethroidinsecticide, cypermethrin

Creator:: Biga, Lindsay M.
Abstract:: Pollution by pesticides is a ubiquitous concern for wildlife. The effects of pesticides are especially concerning in aquatic environments, which are particularly vulnerable as they have several exposure routes for the influx of chemicals. These effects are of particular concern as biodiversity loss reaches unprecedented rates. This includes recent declines...

Dixy Lee Ray, marine biology, and the public understanding of science in the United States (1930-1970)

Creator:: Ellis, Erik
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on the life of Dixy Lee Ray as it examines important developments in marine biology and biological oceanography during the mid twentieth century. In addition, Ray's key involvement in the public understanding of science movement of the 1950s and 1960s provides a larger social and cultural context...

Relationships of clay mineralogy to landscape stability in Western Oregon

Creator:: Taskey, Ronald D. (Ronald David), 1944-
Abstract:: Soil erosion by mass wasting is the major problem on forest lands of the Pacific Northwest, The clay fractions of soils from a large number of sites in Oregon's Western Cascades were characterized in order to determine the relationships of various clay materials to mass movements. Each site was either...

Cross-Validation of Two Supervision Instruments with Counseling Trainees from CACREP-accredited Programs

Creator:: Litherland, Gideon R.
Abstract:: Supervision is considered a pivotal professional intervention for counselors-in-training as they develop during graduate education and beyond. But, research on clinical supervision suffers from a lack of common instruments that can be utilized across disciplines, including counseling, and national boundaries. While a complex phenomenon to empirically address through research, supervision...

Ontogenetic Shifts in Disease Response in Native and Invasive Anuran Species

Creator:: Urbina Gonzalez, Jenny Cecilia
Abstract:: This dissertation presents a different approach to understanding how amphibians are responding to disease through ontogeny. Although numerous efforts have been conducted to understand host responses to the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), studies have been restricted to distinct developmental stages. This dissertation provides information on host response to Bd across...

Taxonomy and evolution of the Orthotyline genus Lopidea (Heteroptera: miridae)

Creator:: Asquith, Adam
Abstract:: The genus Lopidea Uhler is revised for America north of Mexico. The relationship of Lopidea to other orthotyline genera is discussed and it is proposed that the genus Ilnacora Reuter is the sister group of Lopidea. Forty-eight species of Lopidea are recognized in North America, one of which is described...

The regulation of a vaccinia virus late gene required for morphogenesis

Creator:: Miner, Jeffery N.
Abstract:: Vaccinia virus gene expression is characterized by tight temporal regulation. Viral early transcription begins within the cytoplasm upon infection; three hours later, early genes are repressed, DNA replication occurs and late gene expression commences. As an approach toward understanding the mechanisms governing vaccinia late gene expression, I have undertaken an...

Understanding Signals of the South Pole Ice Core: Chronology, Climate, and Firn Processes

Creator:: Epifanio, Jenna A.
Abstract:: The South Pole ice core (SPC14), drilled in the field seasons of 2014/2015 and 2015/2016, is an intermediate length, 1,751-m ice core which preserves a 54,000-year record of past climate and atmospheric composition. The SPC14 ice core adds to the spatial grid of ice cores in Antarctica extending into the...
