Evaluating Paratransgenesis as a Potential Control Strategy for African Trypanosomiasis

Creator:: Medlock, Jan, Atkins, Katherine E., Thomas, David N., Aksoy, Serap, and Galvani, Alison P.
Abstract:: Genetic-modification strategies are currently being developed to reduce the transmission of vector-borne diseases, including African trypanosomiasis. For tsetse, the vector of African trypanosomiasis, a paratransgenic strategy is being considered: this approach involves modification of the commensal symbiotic bacteria Sodalis to express trypanosome-resistance-conferring products. Modified Sodalis can then be driven into...

Regional variation in stand structure and development in forests of Oregon, Washington, and inland Northern California

Creator:: Reilly, Matthew J. and Spies, Thomas A.
Abstract:: Despite its importance to biodiversity and ecosystem function, patterns and drivers of regional scale variation in forest structure and development are poorly understood. We characterize structural variation, create a hierarchical classification of forest structure, and develop an empirically based framework for conceptualizing structural development from 11,091 plots across 25 million...

MTB-3, a Microtubule Plus-End Tracking Protein (+TIP) of Neurospora crassa

Creator:: Mourino-Perez, Rosa R., Linacre-Rojas, Lorena P., Roman-Gavilanes, Ariana I., Lew, Thomas K., Callejas-Negrete, Olga A., Roberson, Robert W., and Freitag, Michael
Abstract:: The microtubule (MT) "plus end" constitutes the platform for the accumulation of a structurally and functionally diverse group of proteins, collectively called "MT plus-end tracking proteins" (+TIPs). +TIPs control MT dynamics and link MTs to diverse sub-cellular structures. Neurospora crassa MicroTubule Binding protein-3 (MTB-3) is the homolog of yeast EB1,...

AI, Robot: A Rhetorical Analysis of Jeopardy! Matches Featuring IBM’s Artificial Intelligence

Creator:: Steele, Evan T.
Abstract:: The relationship between the public and new technologies has historically been a tumultuous one, with public perceptions ranging from excited rapid adoption to standoffish pessimism. In 2011, IBM tried to use competition as a means of showcasing a new technology to the public. This thesis is a work of rhetorical...

Post-fire tree establishment and early cohort development in conifer forests of the western Cascades of Oregon, USA

Creator:: Tepley, Alan J., Swanson, Frederick J., and Spies, Thomas A.
Abstract:: Early‐seral ecosystems make important contributions to regional biodiversity by supporting high abundance and diversity of many plant and animal species that are otherwise rare or absent from closed‐canopy forests. Therefore, the period of post‐fire tree establishment is a key stage in forest stand and ecosystem development that can be viewed...

Abstract:: We live in an exciting time for biology. Technological advances have made data collection easier and cheaper than we could ever have imagined just 10 years ago. We can now synthesize and analyze large data sets containing genomes, transcriptomes, proteomes, and multivariate phenotypes. At the same time, society's need for...

Evaluation and improvement of the Community Land Model (CLM4) in Oregon forests

Creator:: Hudiburg, T. W., Law, B. E., and Thornton, P. E.
Abstract:: Ecosystem process models are important tools for determining the interactive effects of global change and disturbance on forest carbon dynamics. Here we evaluated and improved terrestrial carbon cycling simulated by the Community Land Model (CLM4), the land model portion of the Community Earth System Model (CESM1.0.4). Our analysis was conducted...

A bioenergetics model to evaluate demographic consequences of disturbance in marine mammals applied to gray whales

Creator:: Villegas-Amtmann, S., Schwarz, L. K., Sumich, J. L., and Costa, D. P.
Abstract:: While sophisticated tools are used to monitor behavioral changes of large marine vertebrates, determining whether these changes are meaningful for management and conservation is challenging. The Population Consequences of Disturbance model proposed a bioenergetics model to detect biologically meaningful population responses, where disturbance costs are linked to lost energy. The...

Adaptive genetic markers discriminate migratory runs of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) amid continued gene flow

Creator:: O'Malley, Kathleen G., Jacobson, Dave P., Kurth, Ryon, Dill, Allen J., and Banks, Michael A.
Abstract:: Neutral genetic markers are routinely used to define distinct units within species that warrant discrete management. Human-induced changes to gene flow however may reduce the power of such an approach. We tested the efficiency of adaptive versus neutral genetic markers in differentiating temporally divergent migratory runs of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus...

Mutualistic Co-evolution of Type III Effector Genes in Sinorhizobium fredii and Bradyrhizobium japonicum

Creator:: Kimbrel, Jeffrey A., Thomas, William J., Jiang, Yuan, Creason, Allison L., Thireault, Caitlin A., Sachs, Joel L., and Chang, Jeff H.
Abstract:: Two diametric paradigms have been proposed to model the molecular co-evolution of microbial mutualists and their eukaryotic hosts. In one, mutualist and host exhibit an antagonistic arms race and each partner evolves rapidly to maximize their own fitness from the interaction at potential expense of the other. In the opposing...
