Assessing the consistency of stream ecosystem characteristics in accounting for variation in trout abundance between summers with low versus high flow conditions

Creator:: Miller, Nicole M.
Abstract:: Water availability is a controlling factor in stream ecosystems with direct influences on habitat and aquatic ecosystem process, but little work has been done evaluating how biota respond to natural variations in low flow conditions during summer, and which biotic or abiotic features in the system may link most closely...

Occurrence of beaver (Castor canadensis) in volcanically disturbed lentic habitat

Creator:: Smith, Sierra L.
Abstract:: This study investigates the occurrence of beaver (Castor canadensis) in lentic habitat (lakes and ponds) near Mount St. Helens in Washington, 40 years after the 1980 eruption. At the coarse spatial scale, I surveyed lakes for sign of beaver establishment (lodge or den) across multiple volcanic disturbance zones. At a...

Assessing variation in coyote (Canis latrans) diet across three sagebrush steppe sites with different levels of juniper encroachment

Creator:: Kendall, Zachary D.
Abstract:: Juniper (Juniperus spp.) encroachment into the sagebrush steppe ecoregion is one of the main causes of sagebrush degradation and can alter the understory vegetative community by outcompeting native shrubs and grasses, which reduces the available forage and cover for small mammals. Coyotes (Canis latrans) are generalist, omnivorous predators in the...

Response of Stream Macroinvertebrate Community to Canopy-opening Manipulations

Creator:: Mackaness, Cedar
Abstract:: Stream light availability is an important factor influencing aquatic food webs. In forested headwaters, stream algal production is often highly light-limited, so an increase in light enhances benthic algal growth, which in turn increases food availability for primary consumers in the stream. In forested headwater streams, light availability is almost...

Sonification of DNA Chromatogram Data of Lionepha Species

Creator:: Adams, Lili
Abstract:: Sonification is an emerging field that highlights and translates the patterns of data into sound. In this way, the auditory sense functions as an interface for transmitting information in a meaningful way. There have been many previous applications of sonification in research and professional settings. However, this field remains an...

Sonification as a pathway to knowledge

Creator:: Fitch, Russell Alan
Abstract:: This paper explores the use of sonification, the conversion of data into sound, to convey the significance of SARS-COV-2 and its global impact. It emphasizes sonification as a valuable tool for making complex data accessible, particularly in high school education. Sonification, an interdisciplinary field, leverages the human auditory system's pattern...

Equity and Gender Bias in High School Music Programming in the Pacific Northwest: A Case Study

Creator:: Anderson, Janie C.
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis is to examine gender and historical bias in wind band music and related practices in the Pacific Northwest. This research was conducted via an IRB approved research study, Equity and Gender Bias in High School Music Programming in the Pacific Northwest: A Case Study, which...

Drowning in the noise : an examination of noise pollution’s effect on wild birds through field recording and musical composition

Creator:: Kruger-Moore, Liana
Abstract:: This project uses field recordings to examine the levels of noise pollution present in both rural and urban areas by creating an artistic translation of these soundscapes, representative of how wild birds experience different environments. The field recordings capture not only what is present in a given soundscape, but what...

The Art and Craft of John Williams

Creator:: Lincoln, Danae A.
Abstract:: The intent of this paper is to bring more attention to the mastery involved with film composition as an art form. The research focuses specifically on the life, style, influences, and works of John Williams as a conductor, film composer, and composer. It addresses his biography, filmography, and working relationships,...

Abiotic and biotic predictors of coastal giant salamander (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) in headwaters of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Neal, Nathaniel G.
Abstract:: From British Columbia to northern California, coastal giant salamanders (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) are a dominant vertebrate predator in headwater streams. Though widespread, salamander health and abundance levels differ greatly between locations, provoking the question as to what factors may influence this variation and whether habitat features or biotic variables play a...
