  • Pollen fidelity of Apis mellifera L. during pollination of Limnanthes alba Hartw. ex Benth. ssp. alba, Limnanthaceae

    Creator:
    Watkins, Ann J.
    Abstract:
    Limnanthes alba, commonly known as meadowfoam is a popular commercial crop because its seed oil is composed of long carbon chains that provide it with high oxidative stability and consequently make it a desirable ingredient in cosmetic products.

  • The Dynamics of Random Pulse-Coupled Oscillator Networks

    Creator:
    Kadhim, Kyra L.
    Abstract:
    The pulse-coupled oscillator model is widely used to simulate the dynamics of neural systems. For networks with particular internal (Mirollo-Strogatz) dynamics, I will define three broad patterns of collective behaviors found in literature in terms of inter-spike interval (ISI) statistics. These patterns are i) temporally-regular, characterized by all oscillators in...

  • Antifungal Properties of Spotted Wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) Larvae

    Creator:
    Bernert, Ann
    Abstract:
    Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, is a recently introduced, invasive pest in Oregon. It oviposits in near-mature and mature fruit, and thus is an important concern for the small fruit industry. A crop consultant observed that mature raspberry fruit with D. suzukii larvae do not show symptoms of molds as...

  • Comparing the Ovarian Expression of Sperm Acrosome Associated 3 Protein in Young and Adult Queens

    Creator:
    Ramsey, Ann M.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis was to quantify sperm acrosome associated 3 (SPACA3) protein expression in the ovaries of young (3.0±0.9 months, n=11) and adult (10.4±2.8 months, n=11) queens. It was hypothesized that SPACA3 expression would not differ between age groups. Immunohistochemistry was performed on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded feline ovarian sections...
