Connecting local values and forest policy to the international forest sustainability dialogue

Creator:: Morré, Susan K.
Abstract:: Sustainable management of the world’s forests is a key component for conserving biodiversity, soil and water resources, mitigating climate change, strengthening economies, and promoting sustainable communities and human well-being, now and in the future. While international cooperation is important, the actual policies and management actions that affect forest conditions and...

Flow cytometric evaluation of spermatozoan nuclear chromatin structure and viability

Creator:: Ballachey, Brenda Elizabeth
Abstract:: I. Frozen bovine semen samples were measured by flow cytometry (FCM) to determine if FCM analyses could be useful for sperm quality evaluation and prediction of bull fertility. Fluorescent dyes utilized were acridine orange, to measure sperm nuclear chromatin heterogeneity by quantifying susceptibility of the chromatin to denaturation, and rhodamine...

Honey Bees and Apple Trees : Hood River, Oregon as a Case Study for the Creation of the Honey Bee Pollination Industry

Creator:: Kellar, Brenda M.
Abstract:: The use of honey bees to pollinate apple orchards seems natural, even inevitable. This dissertation examines the relationship of beekeeping and apple growing in Hood River, Oregon in the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries, as a case study in the development of commercial pollination service. Within this time period the...

Independent effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on pollination : tropical forest fragmentation alters hummingbird movements and pollination dynamics

Creator:: Hadley, Adam S.
Abstract:: A growing body of work reveals that animal-mediated pollination is negatively affected by anthropogenic disturbance. Landscape-scale disturbance results in two often inter-related processes: (1) habitat loss, and (2) disruptions of habitat configuration (i.e. fragmentation). Understanding the relative effects of such processes is critical in designing effective management strategies to limit...

The roles of nutrient dynamics, oceanography, and light in the structure and functioning of rocky intertidal macrophyte assemblages

Creator:: Close, Sarah L.
Abstract:: The influence of the physical environment on organisms has long been a subject of ecological research. But, the complex drivers of environmental variation, and the multiple scales at which this can occur, make studying this topic a difficult challenge. In rocky intertidal habitats, oceanographic- and climate-scale variability influence benthic communities...

Transforming STEM Education and Empowering STEM Educators Through Collaborative Learning: Co-creating Critical Identities through Social Justice and Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies

Creator:: Hale, Karla M.
Abstract:: Despite ongoing initiatives and research efforts, the persistent underrepresentation of marginalized groups in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) disciplines in the U.S. has seen little improvement. This study posits that a fundamental change in teacher preparation can lead to more inclusive STEM learning environments. It centers on the development...

A cost effectiveness analysis of actions to reduce stream temperature : a case study of the Mohawk watershed

Creator:: Mooney, Sian, 1965-
Abstract:: The concept of ecosystem management requires that management prescriptions account for economic and environmental goals that are measured in non-commensurate units. This study examines the economic and environmental trade-offs associated with planting a riparian buffer in trees to reduce stream temperatures in the Mohawk watershed, Oregon. The detrimental effects of...

Transcriptional regulation of the human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide gene

Creator:: Guo, Chunxiao
Abstract:: Human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP/LL-37) is a cationic antimicrobial peptide that is widely expressed by myeloid and epithelial cells at the human-environment interface. It possesses broad spectrum antimicrobial capacity against bacteria, fungi and viruses. In addition to its direct antimicrobial activity, CAMP/LL-37 also attracts and recruits monocytes, neutrophils and other...

Traditional Agriculture in Transition: Continuity and Change in Southwest China

Creator:: Li, Xiaoyue
Abstract:: This dissertation seeks to understand Yi farmers’ livelihoods in the midst of an agricultural transition in Yunnan, Southwest China. This dissertation examines a community’s traditional knowledge related to wild edible plants (WEPs), analyzes socio-ecological vulnerability and resilience in the face of agricultural transition from subsistence farming to cash cropping, and...

Ecotypic variation of Schoenoplectus pungens (Vahl) Palla in response to salinity and inundation

Creator:: Del Giudice Tuttle, Elena
Abstract:: Local adaptation in plants may hold the key to understanding the level of resilience of an ecosystem and probability of persistence of a species in the face of rapid anthropogenic changes in climate and disturbance regime. Clonal species are especially important in wetlands, one of our most productive and vulnerable...
