Predicting Fish Recruitment in the Northeast Pacific Using Climate Indices

Creator:: Riley, Shannon L.
Abstract:: Predicting recruitment, which is dependent on parent stock size and climate, is vital for forecasting productivity of fish stocks. The effects of climate can be analyzed via the use of climate indices. Three climate indices, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation, and the Oceanic Niño Index, describe...

Maternal Depression and Child Health as Predictors of Absenteeism in Preschool Children Eligible to Attend Head Start

Creator:: Longway, Kelly
Abstract:: This study examines how three measures of child health: overall health status, access to health insurance and dental checkup status, predict the likelihood of a child experiencing higher number of absences in children eligible to attend Head Start, and how that association is influenced by the presence of a depressed...

Examination of the Impact of One-Dimensional Crustal Structures on Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquake Locations

Creator:: Meyer, McKenzie S.
Abstract:: Multiple earthquake events have been recorded off the coast of Oregon, yet their locations have great uncertainty. The largest source of uncertainty is the simple models of the crust that are used to interpret seismic recordings. Because the relationship between earthquake locations and crust are diagnostic of tectonic activity, it...

The Dynamics of Random Pulse-Coupled Oscillator Networks

Creator:: Kadhim, Kyra L.
Abstract:: The pulse-coupled oscillator model is widely used to simulate the dynamics of neural systems. For networks with particular internal (Mirollo-Strogatz) dynamics, I will define three broad patterns of collective behaviors found in literature in terms of inter-spike interval (ISI) statistics. These patterns are i) temporally-regular, characterized by all oscillators in...

The genome of the water strider Gerris buenoi reveals expansions of gene repertoires associated with adaptations to life on the water

Vargas, Lowman, Aidamalia Vargas, Viala, Severine, Richards, Stephen, and Khila, Abderrahman
Abstract:: Background: Having conquered water surfaces worldwide, the semi-aquatic bugs occupy ponds, streams, lakes, mangroves, and even open oceans. The diversity of this group has inspired a range of scientific studies from ecology and evolution to developmental genetics and hydrodynamics of fluid locomotion. However, the lack of a representative water strider...

Assessing earth system model predictions of C-4 grass cover in North America: From the glacial era to the end of this century

Creator:: Still, Christopher J., Cotton, Jennifer M., and Griffith, Daniel M.
Abstract:: Aim C-4 grasses are distinct from C-3 grasses, because C-4 grasses respond in a different manner to light, temperature, CO2 and nitrogen and often have higher resource-use efficiencies. C-3 and C-4 grasses are typically represented in earth system models (ESMs) by different plant functional types (PFTs). The ability of ESMs...

Inferring Patterns and Processes of Emergence in Clonal Phytophthora Epidemics using Population Genomic Approaches

Creator:: Cauldron, Nicholas C.
Abstract:: Oomycete and fungal pathogens threaten food, fiber, and forests around the world. With climate change, these pathogens are expected to emerge more frequently. Evolution can facilitate their emergence through mechanisms such as mutations that change or expand host range. Characterizing evolutionary mechanisms in plant pathogens will contribute to our ability...

Evaluating Temporal Consistency in Marine Biodiversity Hotspots

Creator:: Piacenza, Susan E., Thurman, Lindsey L., Barner, Allison K., Benkwitt, Cassandra E., Boersma, Kate S., Cerny-Chipman, Elizabeth B., Ingeman, Kurt E., Kindinger, Tye L., Lindsley, Amy J., Nelson, Jake, Reimer, Jessica N., Rowe, Jennifer C., Shen, Chenchen, Thompson, Kevin A., and Heppell, Selina S.
Abstract:: With the ongoing crisis of biodiversity loss and limited resources for conservation, the concept of biodiversity hotspots has been useful in determining conservation priority areas. However, there has been limited research into how temporal variability in biodiversity may influence conservation area prioritization. To address this information gap, we present an...

Thermal Anomalies Detect Critical Global Land Surface Changes

Creator:: Mildrexler, D. J., Zhao, M., Cohen, W. B., Running, S. W., Song, X. P., and Jones, M. O.
Abstract:: Measurements that link surface conditions and climate can provide critical information on important biospheric changes occurring in the Earth system. As the direct driving force of energy and water fluxes at the surface-atmosphere interface, land surface temperature (LST) provides information on physical processes of land-cover change and energy-balance changes that...

New species and new combinations in the genus Paraisaria (Hypocreales, Ophiocordycipitaceae) from the U.S.A., supported by polyphasic analysis

Creator:: Tehan, Richard M., Dooley, Connor B., Barge, Edward G., McPhail, Kerry L., and Spatafora, Joseph W.
Abstract:: Molecular phylogenetic and chemical analyses, and morphological characterization of collections of North American Paraisaria specimens support the description of two new species and two new combinations for known species. P. cascadensis sp. nov. is a pathogen of Cyphoderris (Orthoptera) from the Pacific Northwest USA and P. pseudoheteropoda sp. nov. is...
