Genetic Structure, Diversity, and Mating System of Leptasterias: Potential for Local Adaptation?

Creator:: Boring, Emily L.
Abstract:: Understanding of gene flow, connectivity, and diversity is critical to predict the stability of key marine species. The Oregon coast of the U.S.A. shows fine-scale levels of geographic variation in environmental stressors such as temperature, pH, and oxygen levels, prompting questions about the potential for local adaptation. In this thesis,...

The role of lutein and zeaxanthin in protecting the retina from light damage

Creator:: Derenick, Rhianna A.
Abstract:: Purpose: The xanthophyll carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin are concentrated in the macula lutea of the retina. It is thought that the two plant pigments may play a role in preventing the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Exposure to damaging light plays a role in retinal deterioration and AMD. The...

The effects of cyclopropenoid fatty acids on the growth, blood lipids, and viral infectivity of White Leghorn chickens

Creator:: Swanson, Joy Emily
Abstract:: Three studies were designed to evaluate the promoting effect of cyclopropenoid fatty acids (CPFA) on avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) infection in White Leghorn chickens. In the first study effects on growth parameters, blood serum and erythrocyte lipid composition of White Leghorn chickens were investigated at 100 ppm and 300 ppm...
