Looking for Fish of the Right Age : Developing Predictive Modeling for Submerged Sites Using GIS, Salmon Genetics, and the Human Ecology of Salmon

Creator:: Krier, Jon C.
Abstract:: A major challenge to the study of the peopling of the Americas is that much of the Bering Land Bridge (Beringia), the geographic area that people migrating from Northeast Asia into North America would presumably have passed through, is now submerged due to sea-level rise since the last glacial maximum....

A GIS investigation of indigenous intensification of native food plants : humans as environmental variable in maxent habitat suitability modeling of Camassia in Oregon

Creator:: Elliott, Braden T.
Abstract:: This thesis merges the fields of Ecology and Anthropology by applying Habitat Suitability Modeling to the relationship between people and plants in the Pacific Northwest. In it, I create and optimize two Maxent habitat suitability models for camas (Camassia spp.) in Oregon. The first model describes the physical environment of...

Dust storm transport of pathogenic microbes to Viking Scandinavia : a query into possible environmental vectors or disease pathogenesis in a closed biological and ecological system

Creator:: Boling, David Carter
Abstract:: This thesis is an integrated study that links several disciplines-archaeology, anthropology, geography, atmospheric sciences, and microbiology. It attempts to generate an argument that central to climate change is disequilibrium in human ecologies- in my case, disease ecologies in Iceland during the 15th century. This thesis investigates the environment's effect on...

Seeing the Ocean For the Whales: How Whales Get Lost in the Sea of Human Perceptions

Creator:: McKinnon, Haley
Abstract:: Humans have always been fascinated with whales; from prominent features in mythology, to stories of terrifying monsters on the high seas, to globalized utility, to symbolic wildness and radical environmentalism, to figures and statistics, how have human relationships with whales been understood throughout time? Because humans have a need to...

Changing pastoral lifeways in the land where the horse was king : the effects of China's Grassland Contract Policy on Mongolian herders' attitudes towards grassland management and cooperation

Creator:: Conte, Thomas J.
Abstract:: This thesis explore the effects of China's Grassland Contract policy on sedentary and mobile Inner Mongolian pastoralists' attitudes towards cooperation, current grassland management practices, and the future viability of livestock herding in New Barag Right Banner, Inner Mongolia. Semi-structured interviews, a scaled survey instrument, and participant observation were carried out...

Requirement for the growth and maintenance of Alphanizomenon flos-aquae in culture

Creator:: O'Flaherty, Larrance Michael
Abstract:: Aphanizomenon flos-aquae from Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon was introduced into culture in a precipitate -free medium developed by modification of McLachlan's ASM medium. This medium ASMT No. 8 contained no organic substances other than ethylendiaminetetraacetate (EDTA) and Trishydroxymethylamino methane (Tris), and was developed by modifying the concentrations of certain elements,...

Photoperiodic control of development in the leafhopper, Agalliopsis abietaria Oman

Creator:: Brown, Robert David
Abstract:: Photoperiod controls the duration of both the fourth and fifth stadia in Agalliopsis abietaria Oman. Development was arrested in the fourth stadium unless short days were given during the second and third instars; a short arrest of development occurred if the short days did not begin until the fourth instar....

The swimming response of the Sacconereis stage of Autolytus varius to changes in hydrostatic pressure

Creator:: Smith, Randall William
Abstract:: The syllid polychaete Autolytus varius reproduces in the spring and early summer in Yaquina Bay, Oregon, The fertilized female epitokes, or Sacconereis, carry the developing eggs and larvae in a ventral sac until the larvae are ready to be released; incubation lasts 14 to 18 days in the laboratory, The...

Using stable-isotope analysis to obtain dietary profiles from old hair

Creator:: Roy, Diana Milantia
Abstract:: Stable isotope analysis of human tissue can provide information about diet independent of artifactual remains. Food is broken down and used in the synthesis of body tissue, so the isotopic composition of hair keratin reflects the isotopic composition of foods consumed. Therefore, the analysis of hair can provide a window...

Toxic politics at 64N, 171W : addressing military contaminants on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska

Creator:: Henifin, Kai A.
Abstract:: St. Lawrence Island, Alaska is home to two Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) under remediation by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers since 1985. After more than two decades the local residents continue to be concerned about inadequate site characterization and cleanup. During the summer of 2005, I collected ethnographic...
