Diving into Diversity: Fish Populations and Climate Resilience in an Endorheic Basin

Creator:: Dew, Aleah
Abstract:: The Goose Lake Basin, situated on the border of Oregon and California, USA, faces significant challenges from drought, wildfire, and other environmental stressors. This region hosts numerous endemic fish species such as the Goose Lake redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss newberri), Goose Lake lamprey (Entosphenus sp.), Goose Lake tui chub (Siphateles...

Genomic mapping of efflux pumps in Listeria monocytogenes and their contribution to cadmium and fluoroquinolone tolerance

Creator:: Domen, Andrea
Abstract:: Listeria monocytogenes is the third most deadly foodborne pathogen in the United States. The young and elderly, as well as pregnant and immunocompromised people are the population most susceptible to serious illness and death from listeriosis infections. Unlike most foodborne pathogens, L. monocytogenes does not live a solely enteric lifestyle....

Applications in plant breeding : end-use quality, tissue culture propagation systems, and outreach for K-12 education

Creator:: Halstead, Margaret A.
Abstract:: This thesis consists of five chapters: a general introduction, two manuscripts, a collection of published lesson plans, and a general conclusion. The works collected herein are united by the common theme of practical applications in plant breeding. The first manuscript reports a study performed on five malting barley lines grown...

Efficacy of Cultural Practices for Mitigating the Negative Impacts of Grapevine Red Blotch Virus on Vine Physiology and Fruit Composition in Oregon Pinot Noir

Creator:: Copp, Cody R.
Abstract:: The recently emerged Grapevine Red Botch Virus (GRBV) impedes proper berry ripening primarily by reducing sugar accumulation and color development in red-fruited Vitis vinifera L. cultivars. To date, there is no recommended management strategy for virus spread or the impacts of the disease beyond removal and replacement of infected vines....

Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of Avian Utilization and Community Composition in Willamette Valley Wetland Study Sites: A Comparative Analysis of Winter Seasons in 1995 and 2019

Creator:: Zimmerman, Marisa
Abstract:: Resident and migratory avifauna in the Willamette Valley, Oregon are heavily influenced by winter conditions and habitat characteristics, especially those of wetlands. As such, it is important to monitor avian communities and environmental factors at wetland sites within the Willamette Valley during winter. Using data from standardized avian point-count surveys,...

Performance-Based Design Methodology for Using Emergent Vegetation to Mitigate Wave Overtopping

Creator:: Ostrow, Kayla
Abstract:: To facilitate the design of Natural and Nature-Based Features (NNBF) for flood protection, this thesis expands an existing engineering design methodology to NNBF systems. The existing approach is a Level III reliability method for the performance-based design of traditional coastal engineering systems. The expanded methodology incorporates uncertainties inherent to both...

Precision Medicine for the Intervertebral Disc: Image Processing and Computational Modeling of Disc Degeneration to Inform Patient-Specific Therapies

Creator:: Ahrens, Sonia R.
Abstract:: The human intervertebral disc is a deceptively simple structure which plays an essential role in human movement. Even slight changes to the disc microenvironment can have far reaching consequences, particularly when these changes result in disc degeneration and herniation. Degeneration is increasingly tied to lower back pain; better understanding this...

Inheritance and Allelism Among the B genes in Cucurbita moschata

Creator:: Wilson, Casey K.
Abstract:: One of the most economically important genes in squash (Cucurbita spp.) is the B gene which conditions precocious depletion of chlorophyll in preanthesis fruit. The B genes are found naturally occurring in at least three of the five domesticated species of Cucurbita, including C. pepo, C. maxima and, most recently...

Vegetation composition and response to fire of native Willamette Valley wetland prairies

Creator:: Pendergrass, Kathy L. (Connelly)
Abstract:: Fires set by Native Americans were important in shaping and maintaining Willamette Valley prairie plant communities. With fire exclusion after Euro-American settlement in the 1840's, composition of the remaining prairies shifted toward shrub and tree dominance with a concomitant decline in endemic prairie plant populations. I hypothesize that by restoring...
