Effects of Pesticide Exposure on Honey Bee Health : Impacts of Pesticide Interactions and Exposure Through Multiple Routes

Creator:: Parreira, Stephanie
Abstract:: Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are responsible for approximately $17 billion in crop production per year in the United States, and are arguably the most important pollinators in the nation. The future of crop pollination and production is threatened by widespread national honey bee colony losses, which have averaged approximately 30%...

The Effects of Host and Pathogen Variation on Infection Dynamics in the Amphibian-Chytrid System

Creator:: Dang, Trang D.
Abstract:: This dissertation uses manipulative experiments to explore amphibian-Bd infection dynamics. Although there has been almost two decades research since the discovery of Bd, many questions still remain regarding what conditions mediate chytridiomycosis virulence. My research shows how certain host and pathogen factors can influence disease virulence. Identifying how host and...

The Behavioral Responses of Western Toad (Anaxyrus boreas) Larvae to Simultaneous Stressors

Creator:: Reynolds, Emily R.
Abstract:: Animals can be naturally exposed simultaneously to multiple stressors. These include habitat changes, contaminants, diseases, invasive species, parasitism, and predation. Exposure to various combinations of biotic and abiotic stressors may induce behavioral changes that affect the way an individual interacts within its environment.Like other groups of organisms, amphibians are exposed...

Host-pathogen Interactions of Respiratory RNA Viruses and the Application of Recombinase Polymerase Amplification for Viral Diagnostics

Creator:: Prescott, Meagan A.
Abstract:: Humans and viral disease are inextricably intertwined. Viral disease plays an immeasurable role in human life, from the disease and economic burden associated with every facet of contending with human viral disease, to managing the consequences of viral disease in organisms important to our food supply, economy, and entertainment. The...

The Effects of Nitrate and a Pathogenic Fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, on Amphibians

Creator:: Negru, Delia
Abstract:: The current rate of global biodiversity loss and extinctions is unparalleled and a major concern. Freshwater organisms are facing particularly rapid rates of biodiversity loss. Amphibians, which require an aquatic environment for part of their life cycle, are one of the most vulnerable vertebrate groups. Amphibians are experiencing population declines,...

Colony Level Infection of Honey Bee Gut Pathogen, Nosema ceranae and Role of Pollen Nutrition in Nosema ceranae Infection and Bee Survival

Creator:: Jack, Cameron
Abstract:: Honey bees are important pollinators for many agricultural systems throughout the world. However, recent honey bee declines have caused great alarm, drawing attention to the vulnerability of worldwide agriculture to pollinator loss. These declines are often attributed to a combination of pests, pathogens, viruses, chemicals, and a lack of proper...

The use of omics for disease evaluation in the brains of marine mammals

Creator:: Rosales, Stephanie
Abstract:: Marine mammals are top predators that are essential for the health and function of our oceans. These top predators are often affected by various factors that can be detrimental to their populations. Therefore, there is a need to evaluate undetermined causes of deaths and to better understand known diseases in...

Spatial Association of Humpback Whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) and their Prey in the Southern Gulf of Maine, USA

Creator:: Kirchner, Theresa
Abstract:: Efficient foraging strategies result in a predator spatially overlapping with its prey, foraging in the most profitable patches, and minimizing the time transiting between patches. Previous studies investigating baleen whale foraging strategies have generally focused on investigating spatial overlap with prey patches, patch profitability or movement within feeding grounds. The...

Evolutionary Genomic Responses to Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Caenorhabditis elegans

Creator:: Wernick, Riana I.
Abstract:: Understanding the impact of mitochondrial dysfunction on genome evolution has the potential not only to provide new insights on the basic evolutionary processes influencing mitochondrial and nuclear genomes, but may also reveal novel avenues for evolutionary adaptive recovery from harmful mutations. Aberrant mitochondrial activity is fundamental to the pathology of...

Carbon Dynamics Associated with Land Cover Change in Tropical Mangrove Ecosystems of the Mahakam Delta, East Kalimantan, Indonesia

Creator:: Arifanti, Virni B.
Abstract:: The Mahakam Delta which was once among the largest mangrove forests in Indonesia, has been subjected to dramatic changes in structure and function due to massive shifts from mangrove forest to shrimp ponds and oil and gas development. To understand the impacts of mangrove loss to the greenhouse gas (GHG)...
