Survival and persistence of Bacteroidales human and ruminant specific fecal markers and occurrence with fecal pathogens

Creator:: Walters, Sarah P.
Abstract:: Aquatic fecal contamination from non-point sources impairs environmental health and serves as a vehicle for transmission of waterborne disease, resulting in economic losses worldwide. Accurate methods of diagnosing fecal pollution and its source are needed to prevent human exposure, remediate pollution, and reduce economic impacts. In order to obtain this...

Topometric Analysis for High-throughput Phenotyping of Seed Shattering in Perennial Ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.)

Creator:: Tubbs, Travis B.
Abstract:: Seed shattering is a constraint to improvement of seed yield in Lolium perenne L. and as a result, seed retention is an essential trait for this valuable crop. Field studies were conducted near Corvallis, OR in two years (2017-2018 and 2018-2019) to identify genetic variation for seed retention and to...

Predicting the stability, equilibrium response, and nonequilibrium dynamics of ecological systems

Creator:: Hosack, Geoffrey R.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, new theory and its applications are developed to predict three properties of complex ecological communities: stability, equilibrium response, and non-equilibrium dynamics. First, a graph-theoretic analysis identifies the interconnections in a complex ecosystem that promote or diminish stability (Chapter 2). The hierarchy of interactions that influences stability and...
