Exploring the Relationship Between Human Disturbance and Wildlife Behavior in Protected Areas

Creator:: St. John, Alyssa
Abstract:: Wildlife behavior is a common research topic in conservation studies; however, the relationship between wildlife behavior and human disturbance, specifically in protected areas, is seldom studied. Previous studies have identified relationships between various different types of behaviors of both humans and wildlife, indicating correlations between avoidance behaviors, habituation, and physiological...

Influence of Robot Motivation on Modified Ride-On Car Usage

Creator:: Zott, Gabriela R.
Abstract:: Using robot motivation to see effects on modified ride-on car interaction has not yet been explored. Previous research has looked at the use of robots to encourage/motivate children (Bharatharaj et al., 2017; Conti et al., 2017; Johnson, 2003) and the benefits of using modified ride-on cars have also been previously...

Integrating climate change resilience into the monitoring and management of eelgrass (Zostera marina) on Washington’s aquatic reserves

Creator:: Bleke, Erica
Abstract:: Eelgrass (Zostera marina) provides critical ecosystem functions and services and is a vital biogenic habitat on Washington’s marine aquatic reserves but its placement at the land-sea interface leaves it vulnerable to multiple environmental and anthropogenic stressors. In this study, published scientific literature is examined to identify thresholds of environmental stressors...

Evaluating the Efficacy of Biophilia in K-12 Access Interpretive Programs in California State Parks

Creator:: Grand, Parker
Abstract:: The purpose of this capstone is to provide a reassessment of the emergence of biophilia in interpretive programs conducted in California State Parks. More specifically, this project examines what effect natural resource interpretive programming has on the emergence of biophilia practices and if participants are more likely to be more...

Achieving sprout suppression in stored potatoes : the role of essential oils in organic agriculture

Creator:: Thoma, Jena L.
Abstract:: This paper presents a review of existing literature concerning sprout suppression in stored potato. Currently available synthetic chemical suppressants are discussed and compared to alternative suppressants such as essential oils. Literature examining the efficacy of various commercially available essential oil products on potato sprout suppression are reviewed, and other essential...

Analysis of the effectiveness, efficiency and co-benefits of REDD+ projects in the Peruvian Amazon in the period 2017-2022: a systematic review and the case of the Tambopata - Bahuaja Sonene REDD+ project

Creator:: Sanchez, Yamile C.
Abstract:: REDD+ is a heavily promoted mechanism to mitigate climate change through the carbon market worldwide, however, initial projects presented challenges related to effectiveness, efficiency, and equity (3E criteria) during implementation. In Peru, it has been promoted since 2008 due to high deforestation rates in the tropical forest, with 30 ongoing...

Vegetation Community Data to Inform Climate-Adaptation Management; Gardiner, New York

Creator:: Randazzo, Andrew
Abstract:: Climate change represents an increasing threat to northeastern temperate forests. Nearly all forest communities have been affected by climate change and require climate-adaptation management (Jandl et al. 2018). Climate-adaptation management (CAM) promotes the viability of forested systems and the ecosystem services they provide under current and future climatic conditions (Bolte...

A SWOT Analysis of Invasive Norway Rats (Rattus norvegicus) Management in Alberta and Budapest to Guide Broader Directions

Creator:: Newton, Katherine T.
Abstract:: Managing invasive species is vital to preserving native species and maintaining the integrity of environments and ecological roles. Rats are one of the most prolific and intrusive invasive species that have successfully cohabitated with humans over centuries as we have expanded and advanced our societies. Thus, rats have historically been...

A Review and Recommendations for Assessing Floodplain Vegetation Recovery Following Stage 0 and Beaver Dam Analog Restorations in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Colley, Lara K. M.
Abstract:: Floodplains are a significant and increasingly threatened ecosystem. As restoration projects are implemented more frequently in degraded floodplains, novel methods are emerging with a focus on restoring critical processes in which vegetation plays a key role. The purpose of this paper is two-fold: 1) to develop expectations for vegetation response,...
