Mark-recapture estimates of population parameters for selected species of small mammals

Creator:: Hammond, Ellen L.
Abstract:: I used program CAPTURE to analyze 1,535 data sets for 33 North American species of small mammals for sources of variation in capture probabilities and to characterize species-specific responses to markrecapture trapping. CAPTURE incorporates seven models to account for all possible combinations of heterogeneity (h), behavioral response (b), and time...

Conservation volunteer tourism at a reserve in Ecuador : effects of perceptions, discourse, and motivations on human-environment relations

Creator:: Grimm, Kerry E.
Abstract:: The number of people traveling to other countries to volunteer for conservation or humanitarian projects has increased dramatically in the past three decades. Despite substantial interest in volunteer tourism, few researchers have examined: (a) the role of promotional material (e.g., brochures, internet websites) in motivating volunteers; (b) factors that attract...

Quantitative and molecular genetics of larval susceptibility to Vibrio tubiashii in Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas)

Creator:: Chen, Chao
Abstract:: Vibriosis caused by the bacterial pathogen Vibrio tubiashii is one of several factors contributing to mass larval mortalities of the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) in Pacific Northwest shellfish hatcheries in recent years. Genetically improved strains of the Pacific oyster resistant to V. tubiashii would be highly desirable. This study investigates...

Encounters, norms, crowding, management, and behavioral responses of visitors at coastal state parks in Oregon

Creator:: Mouw, Wesley J.
Abstract:: With the baby boomer cohort retiring and arguably having more time for outdoor recreation, coupled with population increases and government agencies encouraging people to recreate outdoors, areas such as state and national parks will likely continue seeing high visitation. It is imperative, therefore, for outdoor recreation managers and researchers to...

A stereochemically controlled approach to the morphine alkaloids: racemization of 8,9-benzo-4,5-dihydro-6,7-pyrido[4,3-d] oxanin-3(2H)-ones

Creator:: Runyan, Mark T.
Abstract:: A method for the control of absolute stereochemistry in morphine syntheses has been demonstrated by the resolution and efficient racemization of the advanced morphine precursor , 9-methoxy-3-methyl-5,6-dihydro-3H-benzofuro[3,2-e]isoquinoline- 7(7aH)-one, I. This was accomplished by the facile coversion of optically resolved I to its ring opened form, 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-10-methoxy-3-methyl-7-oxo[1]benzoxonino[ 6,7-c]pyridinium tosylate, II, (Equation...
