An evaluation of understory vegetation dynamics, ecosystem resilience and state and transition ecological theory in an eastern Oregon ponderosa pine forest

Creator:: Carr, Craig A.
Abstract:: Relatively recent increases in ponderosa pine abundance have effected unprecedented changes to ecosystem structure and function. Efforts to restore ponderosa pine systems are often focused on the manipulation of tree structure and the re-introduction of a more natural fire regime. Successful restoration should also incorporate understory components but information addressing...

Molecular characterization of bacterial populations implicated inthe anaerobic metabolism of toxic plant alkaloids from two different experimental and environmental sources

Creator:: Rattray, Rogan MacKay
Abstract:: There have been many studies that describe the protective degradation or metabolism of potentially harmful plant toxins, such as, mimosine from Leucaena leuconcephala, pyrrolizidine alkaloids from tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea), oxalate and some mycotoxins by rumen microbes. There are many cases of plant-related toxicoses suffered by ruminant animals where there...

A comparison of work values of emotionally disturbed adolescents and normal adolescents

Creator:: King, Reed Lewis
Abstract:: The primary purpose of this study was to determine the work values of the emotionally disturbed adolescents and to compare these values with those indicated by adolescents of the same age level from a regular public school. A secondary objective was to compare the work values of the age levels,...

Reproductive isolation and interspecific hybridization in the threatened species, Sidalcea nelsoniana

Creator:: Gisler, Steven D.
Abstract:: In addition to its longstanding recognition as an influential evolutionary process, interspecific hybridization is increasingly regarded as a potential threat to the genetic integrity and survival of rare plant species, manifested through gamete wasting, increased pest and disease pressures, outbreeding depression, competitive exclusion, and genetic assimilation. Alternatively, hybridization has also...

Reproductive biology and behavior of the brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis) on Guam.

Creator:: Waye, Heather L.
Abstract:: While there are many more species of reptiles in the tropics than in temperate latitudes, relatively little is known about the natural history of tropical species of snakes. Even basic information, such as reproductive ecology and behavior, is lacking. Patterns of reproduction in tropical species differ from patterns in temperate...

Submarine plateau volcanism and Cretaceous Ocean Anoxic Event 1a : geochemical evidence from Aptian sedimentary sections

Creator:: Walczak, Paul S.
Abstract:: Marine sediments exceptionally rich in organic carbon, known as black shales, occur globally but intermittently in well correlated Cretaceous successions. The presence of black shales indicates that sporadic, ocean-wide interruption of normal respiration of marine organic matter during oxygen-deficient conditions has occurred. Submarine volcanism on a massive scale, related to...

The marine geomorphology of American Samoa : shapes and distributions of deep sea volcanics

Creator:: Roberts, Jed T.
Abstract:: The geologic processes at work in American Samoa have long been a point of scientific debate. Of its numerous volcanic formations, few breach sea level, leaving an enormous proportion of their mass unavailable to traditional observation. This study aims to describe the deep sea geomorphology of American Samoa through compilation,...

Determining cytokine induced vascular maturity throughimmunohistochemical double-staining

Creator:: Hosack, Luke William
Abstract:: As a major natural component of the extracellular matrix (ECM), hyaluronic acid (HA) is an excellent choice for biomimetic, biocompatible therapeutic materials. Furthermore, thiol-modified forms of HA are capable of forming macroporous hydrogels that allow for both controlled cytokine release and extensive vessel in-growth. It has previously been shown that...

Conservation of Oenothera wolfii (Onagraceae) : introducing a threatened plant into two protected locations in Oregon

Creator:: Currin, Rebecca E.
Abstract:: The showy biennial to short-lived perennial Oenothera wolfii (Munz) Raven, Dietrich & Stubbe (Wolf’s evening primrose) occurs in only a small number of isolated populations on the southern Oregon and northern California coast. This rare species is currently listed as Threatened in Oregon, and is considered a Species of Concern...
