  • Production and invasion of butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii) in Oregon

    Creator:
    Ream, Julie
    Abstract:
    Butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii), an ornamental native to China, is an invasive species in Oregon and many other areas. In Oregon, butterfly bush invades disturbed areas, particularly riparian areas. The Oregon nursery industry has the highest farm-gate value of all agricultural commodities and butterfly bush is a significant plant to...

  • Stress and Learning in Larval Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

    Creator:
    Moussaoui, Bushra
    Abstract:
    In this study, we characterize the behavioral response of larval zebrafish (Danio rerio) to the noxious chemical allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), an agonist of the nociceptive TRPA1 ion channel, and utilize AITC as an aversive stimulus in an associative learning paradigm. We find that larvae exposed to AITC in both a...

  • Metabolomic Analysis of Oregon Coast Sediment Pore Waters using Ultrahigh Resolution Mass Spectrometry

    Creator:
    Merlo, James B.
    Abstract:
    One of the principal drivers of climate change is the concentration of greenhouse gases such as CO2 in the atmosphere. A large portion of this CO2 ends up in the waters off the continental coasts where it transforms into biomass. The major sink for this matter is the ocean sediments...

  • Early competitive environments differentially influence stress axis responses in sympatric, ecologically similar songbirds

    Creator:
    Hardt, Braelei M.
    Abstract:
    1. Early competitive environments can shape the development of offspring across taxa. For example, competition for food can have downstream effects on offspring phenotypes and fitness; however, little is known about how early competition influences the development of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis and its potential tradeoff with growth. Because baseline and...

  • Phase Separation in Microscale Convective Boiling

    Creator:
    Lewis, Kevin Terrence
    Abstract:
    It is hypothesized that extracting the vapor from two-phase flow in a microchannel will result in a lowered pressure drop required to drive the flow. The goal of this thesis is to construct an experimental device that will test this hypothesis by comparing a number of phase separating test conditions...

  • Characterization of soil carbon and nitrogen pools following a decade of detritus manipulation in a temperate coniferous forest

    Creator:
    Wilson, Lea I.
    Abstract:
    Soil organic matter (SOM) is the result of the balance between decomposition and incorporation of detritus from both above and below ground sources into the soil. It composes only a fraction of the soil by mass but it is one of the most critical components. The Detritus Input and Removal...

  • Evaluating the response of bees to visual attractants in resource-poor environments

    Creator:
    Parvin, Lucas
    Abstract:
    Bee populations are declining around the globe, while the need for their pollination services is increasing with growing food demands by an expanding population. There is a need for innovative practices to increase pollination in agricultural environments without harming wild bee populations. However, the use of artificial visual attractants has...

  • An investigation of cultural cohesion and value divergence in a community bank

    Creator:
    Payne, Bryce M.
    Abstract:
    Interest in organizational culture has grown enormously over the last twenty years and much effort has gone into investigating the relationship between organizational culture and performance. Because most research to date has focused on large organizations, we chose to investigate the culture in a community bank undergoing a cultural transformation....
