Drunken Walking: A Novel Brownian Dynamics Simulation for the Mechanochemical Cycle of the Dynein Motor Protein

Creator:: Waczak, John L.
Abstract:: The dynein molecule is a peculiar motor protein recognized for its unique stepping behavior. Sometimes it steps forwards. Other times it steps backwards. It has even been observed to occasionally shuffle by beginning a step with the same domain many times in row. These motions make dynein an interesting object...

The Effects of Modularity on Cascading Failures in Complex Engineering Systems

Creator:: Parker, Elizabeth M.
Abstract:: To design engineering systems that have improved reliability, it is important to understand what kind of system faults they will be susceptible to. Mitigation strategies are important to ensuring the performance of these engineering systems. Understanding how the modularity of complex engineering systems affects the risk of devastating failures such...

Host species composition influences infection severity among amphibians in the absence of spillover transmission

Creator:: Han, Barbara A., Kerby, Jacob L., Searle, Catherine L., Storfer, Andrew, and Blaustein, Andrew R.
Abstract:: Wildlife epidemiological outcomes can depend strongly on the composition of an ecological community, particularly when multiple host species are affected by the same pathogen. However, the relationship between host species richness and disease risk can vary with community context and with the degree of spillover transmission that occurs among co-occurring...

The conservation genetics juggling act: integrating genetics and ecology, science and policy

Creator:: Haig, Susan M., Miller, Mark. P., Bellinger, Renee, Draheim, Hope M., Mercer, Dacey M., and Mullins, Thomas D.
Abstract:: The field of conservation genetics, when properly implemented, is a constant juggling act integrating molecular genetics, ecology, and demography with applied aspects concerning managing declining species or implementing conservation laws and policies. This young field has grown substantially since the 1980s following the development of polymerase chain reaction and now...

American pika in a low-elevation lava landscape: expanding the known distribution of a temperature-sensitive species

Creator:: Shinderman, Matt
Abstract:: In 2010, the American pika (Ochotona princeps fenisex) was denied federal protection based on limited evidence of persistence in low-elevation environments. Studies in nonalpine areas have been limited to relatively few environments, and it is unclear whether patterns observed elsewhere (e.g., Bodie, CA) represent other nonalpine habitats. This study was...

Public lands and private waters: scarce mesic resources structure land tenure and sage-grouse distributions

Creator:: Donnelly, J. P., Naugle, D. E., Hagen, C. A., and Maestas, J. D.
Abstract:: Water scarcity in semiarid environments provides a model system to evaluate the role of mesic resources in structuring the distribution and abundance of wildlife. We used remote sensing and point process analyses to evaluate spatio–temporal variability in limited mesic resources in relation to greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) distributions in Oregon,...

What's streamflow got to do with it? A probabilistic simulation of the competing oceanographic and fluvial processes driving extreme along-river water levels

Creator:: Serafin, Katherine A., Ruggiero, Peter, and Parker, Kai
Abstract:: Extreme water levels generating flooding in estuarine and coastal environments are often driven by compound events, where many individual processes such as waves, storm surge, streamflow, and tides coincide. Despite this, extreme water levels are typically modeled in isolated open-coast or estuarine environments, potentially mischaracterizing the true risk of flooding...

Snap Bean Association Panel Passport Data

Creator:: Myers, James R. and Celebioglu, Burcu
Abstract:: The accessions used to create the Snap Bean Diversity Panel (SnAP) were 378 snap bean cultivars and germplasm lines selected from North American and European germplasm. This panel supplements the 150 member Bean CAP snap bean diversity panel (SBDP) with an additional 228 snap bean accessions. The Bean CAP SBDP...

Evaluation of Pacific Lamprey Entosphenus Tridentatus Anatomical Structures as Records of Age and Isotope Histories

Creator:: Pelekai, Keala N.
Abstract:: The anadromous Pacific Lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus) is a biologically and culturally important species native to the North Pacific Ocean and its adjacent freshwater tributaries. Pacific Lamprey have experienced declines in abundance and distribution throughout their native range, highlighting a need for further research on the species to better inform conservation...
