Interactions between western hemlock mycorrhizal fungi and wood rotting fungi in a system simulating Douglas-fir nurse logs in Pacific Northwest forests

Creator:: Tuininga, Amy R.
Abstract:: Decomposing logs in Douglas-fir - western hemlock forests in the Pacific Northwest are systems in which many organisms interact. Fungi in these systems include both mycorrhizal fungi associated with hemlock seedlings and many species of saprotrophic wood decomposer fungi. It is very likely that these two groups of fungi interact...

Food consumption and growth of the larvae of the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas)

Creator:: Malouf, Robert E.
Abstract:: The food consumption and growth of Pacific oyster larvae were studied in three experiments making use of a constant flow apparatus. The apparatus maintained a continuous flow of various densities of algae through test chambers containing different numbers of larvae in a factorial design. Three additional experiments were conducted in...

Development of a synoptic map-pattern climatology to supplement current weather forecasting methods

Creator:: Frey, Melissa D. (Melissa Dawn)
Abstract:: Many meteorologists rely heavily on their experience of past weather events to supplement their forecasting tools, such as using past experience to help decide between conflicting numerical weather prediction models. Experiential knowledge is an important piece of forecasting, however it is highly subjective and variable from one forecaster to another....

Feeding rates of the mud shrimp Upogebia pugettensis and implications for estuarine phytoplankton abundance

Creator:: Griffen, Blaine D.
Abstract:: The suspension-feeding mud shrimp, Upogebia pugettensis, is a common inhabitant of intertidal mudflats in estuaries throughout the Pacific Northwest, where it develops extensive burrows. Also inhabiting the shrimps' burrow is the commensal bivalve, Cryptomya californica. Filtration by dense populations of the shrimp and its commensals may have a negative impact...

Nonverbal communication and restaurant personnel

Creator:: Drago, Carleen
Abstract:: Servers in a small college town were asked to take part in an interview to assess perceptions of their use of nonverbal communication, how they believe nonverbal communication affects tipping behavior, and whether or not they received formal training in nonverbal communication tactics. The study also links nonverbal communication with...

Iroquois of the Pacific Northwest fur trade : their archaeology and history

Creator:: Jameson, Jennifer E.
Abstract:: During the early 19th Century, the fur trade brought many Iroquois to the Pacific Northwest as working primarily as voyageurs for the North West Company. When the North West Company merged with the Hudson's Bay Company, the Iroquois employees merged as well. After retirement, some settled in the Willamette Valley...

Estimating the dry matter production, nitrogen requirements, and yield of organic farm-grown potatoes

Creator:: McQueen, John Paul Gainer
Abstract:: As part of a participatory research project, where farmers and Oregon State University researchers collaborated, aspects of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) growing systems were studied. It was determined through conversations with the farmers that quantification of certain growth parameters of potato was lacking, including dry matter accumulation, crop nitrogen (N)...

Predators associated with hemlock woolly adelgid (Hemiptera: Adelgidae) infested western hemlock in the Pacific Northwest.

Creator:: Kohler, Glenn R.
Abstract:: The hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae, is causing widespread mortality of eastern hemlock, Tsuga canadensis, in the eastern United States. In the West, A. tsugae causes negligible damage to western hemlock, Tsuga heterophylla. Host tolerance traits and presence of endemic predators may be contributing to the relative tolerance of western...

Flavor composition of transgenic raspberry bushy dwarf virus-resistant 'Meeker' raspberries

Creator:: Malowicki, Sarah Marie-Mahler
Abstract:: Raspberries have been popular since the time of the ancient Greeks. Red raspberries are cultivated throughout the world, particularly in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States and Canada. The raspberry bushy dwarf virus (RBDV) causes significant reduction in yield and crumbly fruit in raspberries, blackberries and raspberry-blackberry hybrids....

Culture built upon the land : a predictive model of nineteenth-century Canadien/Métis farmsteads.

Creator:: Hebert, James Michael
Abstract:: The objective of this thesis is to provide a predictive model for the archaeological investigation of the first farmsteads in the Pacific Northwest, established in the early- and mid-nineteenth century by Canadien and Métis families retiring from their service in the fur trade. Past studies of this population have either...
