Abstract:: Climate change has pervasive impacts on Earth’s diverse ecosystems. Observed and projected effects that impact coastal environments pose unique challenges. Coastal regions provide numerous ecosystem services (e.g., fisheries, nursery habitats, erosion control, and water filtering and detoxification), house 40% of the US population, and contribute to 58% of the national...

Abstract:: Research indicates that adolescents with a history of parental incarceration are at higher risk of delinquent behaviors (Murray & Farrington, 2005), however the protective role of parent-adolescent relationships is largely unexamined when compared with negative dimensions of parenting. To examine the potential protective effects of the adolescent’s perceptions of a...

Creator:: Harris, Jesse
Abstract:: Ocean Wave Energy Converters (WECs) are of interest around the globe as global economies begin to shift their interest to renewable forms of energy. However, the devices are costly to construct–a quality that can be relieved through proper modeling, control, and implementation. This paper presents the numerical and hybrid simulation...

Creator:: Sangsupan, Hathai A.
Abstract:: This dissertation investigated potential ecological limitations to seedling regeneration in young, seasonally dry, evergreen forest restoration plantations in northern Thailand. We explored whether recruitment of colonizing tree species in the restoration plantations can be attributed to seed dispersal mode (i.e. abiotic or animal dispersal) and seed size. We did this...

Creator:: Guy, Troy J.
Abstract:: Although the effects of extrinsic barriers to dispersal have increasingly been shown to play a large role in the structuring of contemporary genetic diversity, describing the relationship between landscape structure, stochastic disturbance, and genetic diversity remains a major challenge. Here, environmental features for 27 barrier-isolated populations (2,232 individuals) of coastal...

Creator:: Henning, Julie A.
Abstract:: Seasonal emergent wetlands in the Pacific Northwest have not been regarded traditionally as fish rearing habitat, despite access to such habitat when river flows overtop riverbanks and connect to the floodplain. As a result, restoration and enhancement projects to remediate for the loss of such wetland habitat are being implemented...

Creator:: Wofford, John E.B.
Abstract:: Because human land use activities often result in increased fragmentation of headwater stream habitats, a better understanding of the effects of fragmentation on the genetic heterogeneity of stream salmonids is useful for effective management. We used eight microsatellites to examine the genetic structure of potamodromous coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki...

Creator:: Muniz, Juan Fermin
Abstract:: Pesticides are among the most pervasive environmental contaminants and they are an important potential risk for human health. Agricultural workers are constantly exposed to pesticide spray, drift and residues in the soil and foliage. Many agricultural pesticides are readily absorbed by the body, through contact with the skin, the respiratory...
