Scaling, ash-driven bistability, and other agents of soilscape genesis discovered while digitally mapping soils of the Blue Mountains, Oregon

Creator:: Almquist, Vance Warner
Abstract:: This dissertation reports on four related, though separate projects. The first project details the process of carrying out a digitally augmented soil mapping (DSM) effort alongside an ongoing survey in Oregon's Ochoco National Forest (ONF) using a Random Forest algorithm. The second chapter describes a initial soil survey in Oregon's...

Regulation by male-specific fruitless of neural circuitry used during courtship and copulation behavior in Drosophila melanogaster

Creator:: Latham, Kristin Lynn
Abstract:: Courtship and copulation behaviors in Drosophila melanogaster males are regulated by sex-specific products from the gene fruitless (fru). Male-specific FRU proteins (FRU[superscript M]) are putative transcription factors of the BTB-ZnF family that likely act by controlling development and maintenance of the neural circuitry used during male sexual behavior. However, which...

Development and broad application of a mass spectrometry based metabolomics platform

Creator:: Kirkwood, Jay Steven
Abstract:: Metabolomics is a comprehensive analysis of small molecules, or metabolites, in a system. Metabolomics is a hypothesis-generating experiment and offers an unbiased analysis of cell metabolism that can aid in the understanding of fundamental biological processes. Metabolomics is widely and broadly applicable in the biological sciences and has been used...

Central Desert Studies : Archaeological Survey and Excavation in Baja California, Mexico

Creator:: Willis, Samuel C.
Abstract:: This dissertation serves as a contribution to the study of the prehistory of the Central Desert region of Baja California, Mexico. Between 2007 and 2011, a trans-peninsular archaeological survey and excavation program―the Central Desert Early Prehistory Project (CDEPP)―was completed for a portion of the Baja California peninsula extending from the...

Characterizing Uncertainty and Assessing the Impact of Rapid Climate Change on the Distribution of Important Tree Species in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Kralicek, Karin M.
Abstract:: Climate change will impact the location of suitable habitat for tree species in the Pacific Northwest. Locations that become unsuitable will experience increased levels of tree mortality and diminished levels of tree growth. Understanding how these impacts will spatially manifest is vital for efficient management of natural resources. An invaluable...

Bottom-up Drivers of Primary Producers and Predator Populations in Oregon Streams

Creator:: Kaylor, Matthew J.
Abstract:: Humans have drastically altered the physical habitat and food web structure of stream ecosystems. Two major impacts humans have had on Pacific Northwest streams are modification of streamside forests (as a result of agriculture, land development, and timber harvest), and declines in the return of wild anadromous salmon to headwater...

An environmental history of Euphoria Ridge, Oregon : a case study for ethnobotany in traditional resource management

Creator:: Fluharty, Suzanne M.
Abstract:: This dissertation looks at one landscape component of the Coquille Indian Tribe's ancestral lands in order to understand the place meaning created and assigned to Euphoria Ridge, Oregon. I focus on three cultural overlays across time that together with the unique biophysical components, generate an importance for the locale to...

Petrologic Investigations into the Magmatic Processes That lead to Au, Ag, and Base Metal Fertility: Insights from Pebble, Alaska and the Emigrant Pass Volcanic Field, Nevada

Creator:: Olson, Nansen H.
Abstract:: Magmatic-hydrothermal ore deposits are giant geochemical anomalies in the earth’s crust most often generated by normal magmatic terrestrial processes. They are often associated with oxidized and hydrous intermediate to highly evolved magmas that have concentrated metals and have the necessary components to efficiently extract and transport them as ascending magmatic-hydrothermal...
