Characterization of the pathogenicity and phylogeny of members of the Rhodococcus genus

Creator:: Creason, Allison L.
Abstract:: Plant pathogenic Rhodococcus species are persistent pathogens able to cause severe growth deformities on a large range of hosts. The most well studied species, R. fascians is predicted by current models to synthesize a mixture of cytokinins that act to directly perturb the hosts' hormone balances, which results in abnormal...

Balancing Timber Production and Conservation in the Oregon Coast Range: an Examination of the Response by Birds and Bird-induced Ecosystem Services to Forest Management at Multiple Scales

Creator:: Harris, Scott H.
Abstract:: Society derives many critical and irreplaceable values from forests. With a growing global human population and rates of consumption, forests are under increasing pressure to provide all these values simultaneously. To meet societal demands for wood products, tree plantations are becoming increasingly common and are replacing native forests. Yet, forests...

Spatiotemporal Phytohormone Distributions in Developing Pinot Noir Berries and the Effects of Two Viticulture Practices Thereon

Creator:: Schmidt, Joseph A.
Abstract:: In recent years, many studies have focused on the molecular and biochemical mechanisms regulating the development of wine grapes. The course of grape berry development is directed by genetic design and is mediated by phytohormones, which regulate grape berry growth and development by orchestrating a complex network of interacting genes,...

Effects of spatial scale and heterogeneity on avian occupancy dynamics and population trends in forested mountain landscapes

Creator:: Frey, Sarah J. K.
Abstract:: Population trends and patterns in species distributions are the major currencies used to examine responses by biodiversity to changing environments. Effective conservation recommendations require that models of both distribution dynamics and population trends accurately reflect reality. However, identification of the appropriate temporal and spatial scales of animal response, and then...

Measuring Health Beliefs About UV Exposure Among Oregon College Students

Creator:: Julian, Anne K.
Abstract:: Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a primary cause of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer and thus represents a critical public health concern. Skin cancer risk behavior research lacks an instrument designed to assess health beliefs about UV exposure that may increase skin cancer risk by increasing risky UV exposure...

Breeding and foraging ecology of Caspian terns nesting on artificial islands in the Upper Klamath Basin, California

Creator:: Patterson, Allison (Allison Glider)
Abstract:: Availability of suitable nesting habitat that is free of nest predators and provides access to adequate prey resources within commuting distance is a major factor limiting seabird populations. Caspian terns (Hydroprogne caspia) in western North America have shifted their breeding habitat from naturally occurring habitats in interior wetlands, lakes, and...

Value of Prior and Novel Information in Managing a Mixed-Stock Recreational Chinook Salmon Fishery

Creator:: Jensen, Alexander J.
Abstract:: Many economically important Pacific salmon fisheries along the west coast of North America are mixed-stock, recreational systems, in which managers strive to account for interactions between fish, anglers, and management policy while balancing fishery access against conservation of vulnerable stocks. Specific challenges facing fisheries managers include limited control over angling...

Trade-offs in a pathogen-rich world : genetic and maternal drivers of variation in costly resistance and immunity in African buffalo (Syncerus caffer)

Creator:: Tavalire, Hannah F.
Abstract:: Disease acts as a powerful selective force in natural systems, driving the rapid evolution of resistance in the host. In the face of a myriad of pathogenic challenges in natural systems, hosts must balance the energetic needs of maintenance and reproduction with costly resistance mechanisms. In this dissertation I will...

TonB-dependent outer-membrane proteins of Pseudomonas fluorescens : diverse and redundant roles in iron acquisition

Creator:: Hartney, Sierra L.
Abstract:: Pseudomonas is a diverse genus of Gram-negative bacteria that includes pathogens of plants, insects, and humans as well as environmental strains with no known pathogenicity. Pseudomonas fluorescens itself encompasses a heterologous group of bacteria that are prevalent in soil and on foliar and root surfaces of plants. Some strains of...

Genomics-enabled exploration of insect toxicity in the Pseudomonas fluorescens group

Creator:: Rangel, Lorena I.
Abstract:: Pseudomonas is a diverse genus of Gamma proteobacteria that are ubiquitous in the natural environment, including soil, water, plant surfaces, and animals. The Pseudomonas fluorescens group is a diverse collection of seven subgroups and more than 50 named species. This group is known for their production of a variety of...
