An Examination of Gender and Racial/Ethnic Social Identities in Marine, Aquatic, and Fisheries Sciences

Creator:: King, Brittany D.
Abstract:: Despite growing efforts to recruit individuals from diverse backgrounds, natural resources fields, including marine aquatic and fisheries science, do not reflect the diversity of the United States. This dissertation utilized three studies to explore underrepresentation in marine, aquatic, and fisheries sciences by examining career influences, experiences, and perspectives at different...

Function of Oregon Estuaries to Juvenile Fishes, with Focus on Juvenile Rockfishes (Sebastes spp.) in Yaquina Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Schwartzkopf, Brittany D.
Abstract:: The role that anthropogenic and natural habitats in estuaries play in long-term population trends for Oregon’s nearshore marine fishes is poorly understood, in part due to limited temporal sampling. One important nearshore marine group is northeastern Pacific rockfishes (Sebastes spp.), which are highly diverse, with around 96 documented species, and...

Physically active adult women's experiences with plus-size athletic apparel

Creator:: Christel, Deborah A.
Abstract:: Substantial research on the functionality of athletic apparel has been conducted; however little consideration has been given to the plus size figure. Societal messages suggest that overweight women are lazy and therefore would not be interested in athletic apparel. The purpose of this study was to determine overweight adult women's...

Chemical signaling and pheromone evolution in plethodontid salamanders

Creator:: Palmer, Catherine Anne
Abstract:: My dissertation focuses on the evolutionary forces that have shaped the chemical signaling system of plethodontid salamanders. Pheromones mediate two phases of plethodontid reproduction: mate attraction prior to courtship and female persuasion during courtship. Substrate-borne chemical signals are believed to play an important role in mate attraction for these animals....

The role of keratinocytic RXRα in regulating melanocyte homeostasis and carcinogen induced melanomagenesis, The role of keratinocytic RXR[alpha] in regulating melanocyte homeostasis and carcinogen induced melanomagenesis

Creator:: Hyter, Stephen D.
Abstract:: Cutaneous melanoma remains the deadliest form of skin cancer, with a diagnosis of metastasis indicating a median survival rate of less than a year. Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation, especially childhood sun exposure, is an important etiological risk factor of melanoma. Previous studies determined that mice selectively lacking the nuclear hormone...

Spatiotemporal Distributions of Bacteria in the Cheddar Production Environment

Creator:: Johnson, Jared D.
Abstract:: Given the many significant roles that bacteria play in modern food manufacturing, it is crucial that we have a fundamental understanding of how bacterial communities assemble and behave in the food manufacturing environment. The focus of this dissertation was to investigate both the spatial and temporal distributions of microbial communities...

The Roles of Recruitment, Species Interactions, and Oceanographic Context in Structuring Rocky Intertidal Communities of the Pacific Northwest and Atlantic Canada

Creator:: Meunier, Zechariah D.
Abstract:: Long-term, large-scale studies of meta-ecosystems provide critical information about how global change influences communities. In my dissertation, I analyzed data from studies encompassing 18 years (2006 – 2023) and over 1,000 km of coastline to investigate drivers of rocky intertidal community structure and dynamics. Specifically, I explored the roles of...

New Foraminifera-Based Proxies to Trace Changes to the Organic and Inorganic Carbon System Since the Last Glacial Maximum

Creator:: Fritz-Endres, Theresa
Abstract:: The production of carbon and export to deep ocean sediments is linked to carbon partitioning between the ocean and atmosphere and is a key driver of climate change over the glacial-interglacial transition. Yet conflicting reconstructions create barriers to understanding changes to the carbon system over this important climate transition. Production...

Identification of candidate genes for survival and their use in predicting field performance of Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas families in coastal waters

Creator:: Lang, Robert Paul
Abstract:: Summer mortality of farmed Pacific oysters causes financial losses for shellfish growers, and selective breeding to improve survival of offspring is a promising way to reduce losses. This dissertation has two objectives to assist the development of tools for use in selective breeding programs. Objective 1: Identify candidate genes for...
