Ecological Monitoring of Vascular Plant Resources at the Governor Tom McCall Preserve at Rowena Plateau: Initiation of Long-term Studies for Management.

Creator:: Meinke, Robert J. and Magee, Teresa K.
Abstract:: The bluffs and plateaus of the eastern Columbia River are floristically rich and ecologically intricate. A previous descriptive study of the unique scabland vegetation on the Gov. Tom McCall Preserve at Rowena Plateau in Oregon included delineation of several distinct or intergrading native and non-native vegetation units. In this study...

A Dreamer's Journey to Graduate School: Perceptions of DACA/undocumented students on institutional support at Oregon State University

Creator:: Molina Ortega, Briselda
Abstract:: This essay is a reflection of my college experiences and that of other undocumented/DACAmented students at Oregon State University and in the United States (Dreamers). It includes a discussion of institutional support, my graduate school experience, lessons learned, plans for my future, and recommendations for institutional leaders at OSU.

Toward a digital resilience

Creator:: Wright, Dawn J.
Abstract:: As we contend with human impacts on the biosphere, there is rightfully a great emphasis now on community adaptation and resilience to climate change. Recent innovations in information technologies and analyses are helping communities to become more resilient. However, not often discussed in this vein is a path toward digital...

Honey bee (Apis mellifera) colony strength and its effects on pollination and yield in highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum)

Creator:: Grant, Kennedy J.
Abstract:: Many pollination studies with honey bees have examined the effect of colony density on crop yield and yet overlook the effect of variation in the population size of these colonies. High colony density in northern highbush blueberry has been met with concerns from beekeepers who feel higher densities will intensify...

Behooved to Remove: The Trump Administration's Effect on Immigration Judge Decision-Making

Creator:: Cochenour, Tucker J.
Abstract:: It has long been recognized by the legal community that when an immigrant seeks relief from deportation proceedings through the United States’ immigration courts, the proceedings they undertake are best seen as a game of chance depending on the Immigration Judge who is randomly assigned to their case. This thesis...

Response to fragmentation by avian communities is mediated by species traits

Creator:: Valente, Jonathon J. and Betts, Matthew G.
Abstract:: Aim The hypothesis that habitat fragmentation negatively influences biodiversity stems from island biogeography and metapopulation theory which predict negative impacts of decreasing patch size on richness and distribution patterns. Empirical support of this idea is weak in terrestrial systems, though tests of fragmentation effects are typically confounded with landscape composition...

Local and General Above-Ground Biomass Functions for Pinus palustris Trees

Creator:: Gonzalez-Benecke, Carlos A., Zhao, Dehai, Samuelson, Lisa J., Martin, Timothy A., Leduc, Daniel J., and Jack, Steven B.
Abstract:: There is an increasing interest in estimating biomass for longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.), an important tree species in the southeastern U.S. Most of the individual-tree allometric models available for the species are local, relying on stem diameter outside bark at breast height (DBH) and total tree height (HT), but...

Detecting Fish Vocalizations in American Samoa Using Machine Learning

Creator:: Munger, Jill
Abstract:: A deep neural network was developed and trained to identify the sounds of pomacentrids (damselfishes) in the National Park of American Samoa. Four years of continuous, passive acoustic data were recorded by a single stationary hydrophone. Deep neural networks enable the full utilization of such large datasets by automating laborious...

Source levels of foraging humpback whale calls

Creator:: Fournet, Michelle E. H., Matthews, Leanna P., Gabriele, Christine M., Mellinger, David K., and Klinck, Holger
Abstract:: Humpback whales produce a wide range of low-to mid-frequency vocalizations throughout their migratory range. Non-song "calls" dominate this species' vocal repertoire while on high-latitude foraging grounds. The source levels of 426 humpback whale calls in four vocal classes were estimated using a four-element planar array deployed in Glacier Bay National...

Translating the Animal

Creator:: Owen, Melody
Abstract:: My thesis in Environmental Arts and Humanities concerned the idea of animal language, as well as other posthuman ideas around animality and indistinction. I also explored virtual space as it relates to human identity, our notions of reality and perception, and the way contemporary digital artists approach animal subjectivity in...
