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...

Forest Successional and Disturbance Dynamics in the Southern Blue Mountains of Eastern Oregon

Creator:: Johnston, James D.
Abstract:: The application of modern land management practices beginning at the turn of the 20th century is widely believed to have dramatically transformed forest landscapes of the inland Pacific Northwest. Restoring historical conditions to make forests resilient to future climate and disturbance regimes is a major goal of federal forest managers....

Zooarchaeologjcal and Taphonomic Investigations of Site 35JA42, Upper Applegate River, Southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Schmitt, Dave N.
Abstract:: Site 35JA42 represents the first protohistoric village complex excavated in Southwest Oregon. Analyses of animal bones recovered from the site offer the first significant insights into human subsistence behaviors in this region. Although the faunal assemblage is extremely fragmented, detailed zooarchaeological analysis indicates that deer were the primary meat resource...

Serologic survey of infectious disease agents in black bears (Ursus americanus) of California, Oregon, and Washington

Creator:: Mortenson, Jack A.
Abstract:: The causes of natural mortality and disease in free ranging black bears, Ursus americanus, in California, Oregon, and Washington are poorly known. Life history components, such as scavenging and overlapping habitat with many species of carnivores, potentially expose bears to a wide range of infectious disease agents. To date, no...

Unraveling the Diagenetic Cycling and Sequestration of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) in Marine Sediments to Understand REE Accumulation in Ancient Shales

Creator:: Yang, Jon
Abstract:: The rare earth elements (REEs) have been established as powerful tracers for a range of physiochemical processes occurring in the natural environment. They also hold significant economic importance as many technological advancements are reliant upon the REEs for their unique magnetic, luminescent, and electrochemical characteristics. In sedimentary settings, understanding the...

An Assessment of Black-backed Woodpecker (Picoides arcticus) Vital Rates in Green and Burned Forests within a Pyrodiverse Landscape Mosaic

Creator:: Kerstens, Mark E.
Abstract:: Vital rates and population connectivity are fundamental concepts in animal ecology and such information is critical for successful conservation planning. The Black-backed Woodpecker (Picoides arcticus) is a species of conservation concern because of its strong association with forests recently burned by high-severity wildfire. However, several recent studies have found that...

An evaluation of factors influencing the management of Otiorhynchus sulcatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Creator:: Kepler, Ryan M.
Abstract:: The black vine weevil (BVW), Otiorhynchus sulcatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a persistent pest of nursery operations in the United States, feeding on over 140 species of plants. The goals of this research were to 1) assess the behavioral response of BVW to a commonly employed insecticide bifenthrin (Talstar 0.2G®)...

Offshore controls on nearshore circulation

Creator:: Long, Joseph W.
Abstract:: The rip current field resulting from the transformation of surface gravity waves over offshore submarine canyons is studied. Employing a wave transformation model and a wave-induced circulation model over observed bathymetry we find that rip current circulation cells exist with alongshore spacing of O(1OOm) even though the nearshore bathymetry displayed...
