Systematic review of residual toxicity studies of pesticides to bees and comparison to language on pesticide labels using data from residual toxicity studies and USEPA published values

Creator:: Swanson, Leah
Abstract:: BACKGROUND. Residues of pesticides on crops can result in mortality to foraging bees. The likelihood of mortality can be mitigated by applying pesticides in the evening so that their residues dissipate by the following morning when bees resume foraging. The dissipation rates of different pesticides, or their residual toxicity, is...

Ethical Considerations of Transgenic Biotechnology as a Tool to Address Global Food Insecurity : Implementation and Regulation in Developing Countries

Creator:: Stepper, Shelby Ann
Abstract:: Transgenic biotechnology holds enormous potential as a tool to address global food insecurity. Transgenic food crops have been shown to increase food availability and food system security by incorporating disease, pesticide and drought resistance. Production costs of transgenic crops are lower due to the reduced need for costly pesticides and...

Biological considerations for a new approach to regulating genetically modified crops in the United States

Creator:: McDonough, Ashley
Abstract:: The debate over GM crops is one of the most controversial issues of recent decades. The debate has many dimensions, including environmental impacts, benefits and risks to human health, intellectual property rights, adequacy of biosafety regulations, and fundamental ethical acceptability. The potential benefits of GM crops are numerous, including improved...

Label communication of acute and residual toxicity to honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) on insecticides of high-risk to Oregon hives does not align with federal recommendations

Creator:: Bucy, Matthew T.
Abstract:: BACKGROUND: Training pesticide applicators on how to understand a product’s toxicity to honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) by reading the product label is a way of reducing pesticide exposure to bees. Many applicator resources focus on how to interpret the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA’s) recommended language for communicating...

Urinary excretion of the mycotoxins lolitrem B and lysergic acid in cattle consuming perennial ryegrass straw over 56 days

Creator:: Neumann, Persia, Duringer, Jennifer M., and Craig, A. Morrie
Abstract:: Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) hay is an important source of forage for a variety of livestock species, and is most common in cool, coastal climates such as the Pacific Northwest. An endophyte fungus called Neotyphodium lolii frequently colonizes this grass to promote insect resistance, drought tolerance, and growth enhancement without...

0An assessment of the oviposition behavior of spotted-wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) in the presence of a novel management tool in Pinot noir grapes

Creator:: Blood, Rachel A.
Abstract:: Spotted-wing drosophila (SWD, Drosophila suzukii) is an invasive fruit fly species native of Southeast Asia. In vineyards, SWD lays eggs in damaged and intact fruit of the most soft-skinned varieties, and feeds on damaged fruits during the harvest period. Feeding and oviposition activities increase the likelihood of vectoring spoilage bacteria,...

Honey bee (Apis mellifera) colony strength and its effects on pollination and yield in highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum)

Creator:: Grant, Kennedy J.
Abstract:: Many pollination studies with honey bees have examined the effect of colony density on crop yield and yet overlook the effect of variation in the population size of these colonies. High colony density in northern highbush blueberry has been met with concerns from beekeepers who feel higher densities will intensify...

Evaluation of Fusarium proliferatum Mycotoxin Profiles in Infected Garlic Cloves

Creator:: Rossi, Francesca
Abstract:: Fusarium proliferatum is a fungus found in soils which produces the mycotoxin group known as fumonisins. Of human concern due to hepato-, nephro- and neurotoxicity, the threat of fumonisins lies within several food items, including corn, wheat sorghum, asparagus and, more recently, garlic. Manifesting as ““garlic rot”,” F. proliferatum infection...

Drug Discovery in Soil Bacteria from Unique Ecosystems of India and Indonesia

Creator:: Tran, Victor
Abstract:: Natural products isolated from bacteria can be developed into new therapeutic agents. The soil bacteria actinomycetes, specifically the Streptomyces species, are prolific producers of antibiotics. This thesis is composed of two projects which focus on novel drug discovery from soil bacteria collected from the Indonesian Black Water Ecosystem (the ICBB...

The possibility of international agreements concerning genetically modified organisms in the European Union

Creator:: Fairbrother, Jennifer R.
Abstract:: As genetically modified products come under greater production, tensions surrounding the potential benefits and harms of the technology have appeared in divergent policy between the European Union (EU) and certain member states. The purpose of this thesis is to consider whether some type of international law, also called an environmental...
