Greater sage-grouse vital rates after wildfire

Creator:: Foster, Lee J., Dugger, Katie M., Hagen, Christian A., and Budeau, David A.
Abstract:: Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) have been subject to long-term and continuing declines in population and habitat since European settlement of western North America. Increased wildfire activity constitutes a primary threat to the species in western portions of their range, with documented declines in wildfire-affected populations. Following a 187,000-ha wildfire in...

Use of created snags by cavity-nesting birds across 25 years

Creator:: Barry, Amy M., Hagar, Joan C., and Rivers, James W.
Abstract:: Snags are important habitat features for many forest-dwelling species, so reductions in the number of snags can lead to the loss of biodiversity in forest ecosystems. Intentional snag creation is often used in managed forests to mitigate the long-term declines of naturally created snags, yet information regarding the use of...

Organic Pelletized Chicken Manure Application Rates and Effects on Novel Asian Vegetables in the Willamette Valley

Creator:: Velazquez, Hannah D.
Abstract:: Daikon, mizuna, mizspoona, and komatsuna are novel Asian vegetables for which a market exists in Oregon, especially in the organic sector. However, these crops are currently not grown widely in the area, despite the favorable growing environment of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Little is known about the appropriate application level of...

Estrous Cycle Manipulation in Dogs

Creator:: Kutzler, Michelle Anne
Abstract:: Since 1939, scientists have studied estrous cycle manipulation in dogs resulting in more articles published in this field than any other area of canine reproduction. Estrous cycle manipulation in dogs must be safe and reliable. Dopamine agonists, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists, and gonadotropins are hormones that have been used for estrus...

Contextualizing Communities in an Instructional Improvement Initiative: Exploring STEM Faculty Engagement in Teaching-Related Conversations

Creator:: Aster, Ellen, Bouwma-Gearhart, Jana, and Quardokus Fisher, Kathy
Abstract:: An oft-cited strategy for fostering instructional improvements to STEM education is creating faculty communities, where instructors can share and learn best teaching practices. Despite research-documented benefits, relatively little is known about why (and with whom) faculty engage in teaching-related conversations, including those fostered by initiatives. We explored how STEM faculty...

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...

Method validation of quantitative analysis of oxylipins in human plasma via mass spectrometry

Creator:: Bloom, Madeline B.
Abstract:: Oxylipins are a class of bioactive lipid metabolites derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) via enzymatic and non-enzymatic pathways. In order to elucidate their overall biological effects, the knowledge of the entire oxylipin profile is needed as oxylipins can have similar or opposing effects in regard to inflammatory events. Their...

Evidence of age-related improvement in the foraging efficiency of Adelie penguins

Creator:: Lescroel, Amelie, Ballard, Grant, Massaro, Melanie, Dugger, Katie, Jennings, Scott, Pollard, Annie, Porzig, Elizabeth, Schmidt, Annie, Varsani, Arvind, Gremillet, David, and Ainley, David
Abstract:: Age variation in reproductive performance is well-documented but the mechanisms underlying this variation remain unclear. Foraging efficiency is likely to be a key source of demographic variation as it determines the amount of energy that can be invested in fitness-related activities. Evidence of age related changes in the foraging efficiency...

Writing a Recipe for Teaching Sustainable Food Systems: Lessons from Three University Courses

Creator:: Brekken, Christy Anderson, Peterson, Hikaru Hanawa, King, Robert P., and Conner, David
Abstract:: The sustainability of the food system is at the forefront of academic and policy discussions as we face the challenge of providing food security to a growing population amidst environmental uncertainty and depletion, social disruptions, and structural economic shocks and stresses. Crafting a sustainable and resilient food system requires us...

Diversity Literary Awards: A Tool for Assessing an Academic Library's Collection

Creator:: Kristick, Laurel L.

This list was used to assess the diversity and inclusiveness of the library collections of a land-grant university. Gaps in the collection and acquisition processes were identified and will...
