Response of Conifer-Encroached Shrublands in the Great Basin to Prescribed Fire and Mechanical Treatments

Creator:: Miller, Richard F., Ratchford, Jaime, Roundy, Bruce A., Tausch, Robin J., Hulet, April, and Chambers, Jeanne
Abstract:: In response to the recent expansion of piñon and juniper woodlands into sagebrush-steppe communities in the northern Great Basin region, numerous conifer-removal projects have been implemented, primarily to release understory vegetation at sites having a wide range of environmental conditions. Responses to these treatments have varied from successful restoration of...

eDNA as a tool for identifying freshwater species in sustainable forestry: A critical review and potential future applications

Creator:: Coble, Ashley A., Flinders, Camille A., Homyack, Jessica A., Penaluna, Brooke E., Cronn, Richard C., and Weitemier, Kevin
Abstract:: Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging biological monitoring tool that can aid in assessing the effects of forestry and forest manufacturing activities on biota. Monitoring taxa across broad spatial and temporal scales is necessary to ensure forest management and forest manufacturing activities meet their environmental goals of maintaining biodiversity. Our...

The silence of the clams: Forestry registered pesticides as multiple stressors on soft-shell clams

Creator:: Tissot, Alexandra G., Granek, Elise F., Thompson, Anne W., Hladik, Michelle L., Moran, Patrick W., and Scully-Engelmeyer, Kaegan
Abstract:: Contaminants are ubiquitous in the environment, often reaching aquatic systems. Combinations of forestry use pesticides have been detected in both water and aquatic organism tissue samples in coastal systems. Yet, most toxicological studies focus on the effects of these pesticides individually, at high doses, and over acute time periods, which,...

Reconciling Conflicting Phylogenies in the Origin of Sweet Potato and Dispersal to Polynesia

Creator:: Muñoz-Rodríguez, Pablo, Carruthers, Tom, Wood, John R.I., Williams, Bethany R.M., Weitemier, Kevin, Kronmiller, Brent, Ellis, David, Anglin, Noelle L., Longway, Lucas, Harris, Stephen A., Rausher, Mark D., Kelly, Steven, Liston, Aaron, and Scotland, Robert W.
Abstract:: The sweet potato is one of the world’s most widely consumed crops, yet its evolutionary history is poorly understood. In this paper, we present a comprehensive phylogenetic study of all species closely related to the sweet potato and address several questions pertaining to the sweet potato that remained unanswered. Our...

Vegetation dynamics at two western New York forests

Creator:: Rhea, Neally
Abstract:: Since the early 1900s, widespread agricultural abandonment has occurred in western New York leading to a general increase in forested areas through old-field succession. Even-aged stands typically follow these large-scale disturbances, resulting in a pattern of development with identifiable stages (Oliver 1980). At each stage, changes in vegetation dynamics encourage...

Experimental investigation of supercritical carbon dioxide in horizontal microchannels with non-uniform heat flux boundary conditions

Creator:: Jajja, Saad A., Zada, Kyle R., and Fronk, Brian M.
Abstract:: Supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) experiences a drastic change in its thermophysical properties near the thermodynamic critical point. A non-linear thermophysical property variation can influence the heat transfer behavior of sCO2 which is not predicted well by conventional single phase heat transfer theory. This can become a major hindrance in the...

Genetic and morphological evidence suggests cryptic speciation within the Torrent Sculpin, Cottus rhotheus, across the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Nicholas, Benjamin P.
Abstract:: Dwelling on the bottom of large rivers to high alpine streams, freshwater sculpins (genus Cottus) occur in high densities across the Pacific Northwest, with 21 currently recognized species found in the Pacific Northwest. Sculpin fill many ecological roles, with some species serving as important prey sources, and others competing with...

Addressing ALS: Corroborating the Methodology of Studying the P2X7R Complex

Creator:: Veytsman, Edward Y.
Abstract:: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by the degeneration of motor neurons in the motor cortex and spinal cord. Recent evidence suggests that the purine receptor P2X7 (P2X7R) plays a central role in the pathology of ALS. Previous research indicates that P2X7R activation by oxidatively modified heat shock protein 90...

Is Cover Type Use by Dabbling Ducks at Bald Knob National Wildlife Refuge, Arkansas, Related to Energy Availability?

Creator:: Kreisler, Skye E.
Abstract:: Managers of U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Bald Knob National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge) in central Arkansas want to provide sufficient habitat resources to meet its population objectives for wintering waterfowl. Nutrient reserves acquired during the wintering period appear to support spring migration and subsequent reproductive success for some species,...
