Addressing Challenges in the Application of Animal Movement Ecology to Aquatic Conservation and Management

Creator:: Ogburn, Matthew B., Mills Flemming, Joanna E., Harrison, Autumn-Lynn, Cooke, Steven J., Torres, Leigh G., and Whoriskey, Frederick G.
Abstract:: The dynamic nature of most environments forces many animals to move to meet their fundamental needs. This is especially true in aquatic environments where shifts in spatial ecology (which are a result of movements) are among the first adaptive responses of animals to changes in ecosystems. Changes in the movement...

Multiple steroid and thyroid hormones detected in baleen from eight whale species

Creator:: Lysiak, Nadine S., Moore, Michael J., Hunt, Kathleen E., Robbins, Jooke, Seton, Rosemary E., Buck, C. Loren, and Torres, Leigh G.
Abstract:: Recent studies have demonstrated that some hormones are present in baleen powder from bowhead (Balaena mysticetus) and North Atlantic right (Eubalaena glacialis) whales. To test the potential generalizability of this technique for studies of stress and reproduction in large whales, we sought to determine whether all major classes of steroid...

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...

Limitations of Species Delimitation Based on Phylogenetic Analyses: A Case Study in the Hypogymnia hypotrypa Group (Parmeliaceae, Ascomycota)

Creator:: Wei, Xinli, McCune, Bruce, Lumbsch, H. Thorsten, Li, Hui, Leavitt, Steven, Yamamoto, Yoshikazu, Tchabanenko, Svetlana, and Wei, Jiangchun
Abstract:: Delimiting species boundaries among closely related lineages often requires a range of independent data sets and analytical approaches. Similar to other organismal groups, robust species circumscriptions in fungi are increasingly investigated within an empirical framework. Here we attempt to delimit species boundaries in a closely related Glade of lichen-forming fungi...

Investigating Calving Areas for Rocky Mountain Elk on the Plumas National Forest: Implications for Land Management

Creator:: Marshall, Abigail C.
Abstract:: Sustainable elk (Cervus canadensis) habitat management on U.S. Forest Service (USFS) lands involves a complex relationship between management practices and ecological processes. A relatively novel Rocky Mountain elk population (Cervus canadensis nelsoni) on the Plumas National Forest (PNF) in northeastern California became established in the early 2000s, but there is...

Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design's Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres

Creator:: Le, Vivian T.
Abstract:: The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine...

How to Debug Inclusivity Bugs? An Empirical Investigation of Finding-to-Fixing with Information Architecture

Creator:: Guizani, Mariam, Steinmacher, Igor, Emard, Jillian, Fallatah, Abrar, Burnett, Margaret, and Sarma, Anita
Abstract:: Background: Although some previous research has found ways to find inclusivity bugs (biases in software that introduce inequities among cognitively diverse individuals), little attention has been paid to how to go about fixing such bugs. We hypothesized that Information Architecture (IA)--the way information is organized, structured and labeled--may provide the...

Assessment of fecal steroid and thyroid hormone metabolites in eastern North Pacific gray whales

Creator:: Lemos, Leila S., Olsen, Amy, Smith, Angela, Chandler, Todd E., Larson, Shawn, Hunt, Kathleen, and Torres, Leigh G.
Abstract:: Baleen whale fecal samples have high potential for endocrine monitoring, which can be used as a non-invasive tool to identify the physiological response to disturbance events and describe population health and vital rates. In this study, we used commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to validate and quantify fecal steroid (progestins, androgens...

On Avoiding Power-Seeking by Artificial Intelligence

Creator:: Turner, Alexander M.
Abstract:: We do not know how to align a very intelligent AI agent's behavior with human interests. I investigate whether—absent a full solution to this AI alignment problem—we can build smart {\ai} agents which have limited impact on the world, and which do not autonomously seek power. In this thesis, I...
