Landscape features affecting genetic diversity and structure in East African ungulate species

Creator:: Crowhurst, Rachel Selena
Abstract:: Habitat loss and fragmentation is a crisis affecting wildlife worldwide. In Tanzania, East Africa, a dramatic and recent (<80 years) expansion in human settlement and agriculture threatens to reduce gene flow among protected areas for many species of large mammals. Wildlife linkages can mitigate population isolation, but linkage designs lacking...

Hawaiian duck (Anas wyvilliana) behavior and response to wetland habitat management at Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge on Kaua'i

Creator:: Malachowski, Christopher P.
Abstract:: The endangered Hawaiian Duck (koloa maoli; Anas wyvilliana), a non-migratory and island-endemic species, experienced a significant population decline during the twentieth century due to factors such as habitat loss, overharvest, introduced mammalian predators, and hybridization with introduced feral Mallards (A. platyrhynchos). A key objective for Hawaiian Duck recovery is to...

Movement Ecology and Population Dynamics of the Endangered Hawaiian Duck (Anas wyvilliana)

Creator:: Malachowski, Christopher P.
Abstract:: Fundamental objectives in the field of conservation biology involve understanding the processes that influence small and declining populations and applying that knowledge to develop appropriate monitoring strategies and targeted management and conservation actions. Critical first steps in determining the relative role of factors that drive population declines involves estimation of...

Mutual mate choice in a terrestrial salamander, Plethodon shermani, with long-term sperm storage

Creator:: Eddy, Sarah L.
Abstract:: Sexual selection can influence the mating system of an organism through multiple mechanisms. These mechanisms result in variation in reproductive success among individuals, and include scramble competition, endurance rivalries, contests, mate choice and cryptic choice, and sperm competition. Understanding the mating system of a species requires the identification of which...

The effects of land use change, climate change, and conservation on waterbird habitat in the Upper Klamath Basin

Creator:: Dennis, Jami R.
Abstract:: The Upper Klamath Basin is an ecologically significant watershed that supports millions of migratory waterbirds along the Pacific Flyway in addition to an agricultural economy and a tribal fishery. This literature review and annotated bibliography is the basis for a capstone project to address the history, evolution, impacts, and responses...

Population demography, resource use, and movement in cooperatively breeding Micronesian Kingfishers

Creator:: Kesler, Dylan C.
Abstract:: Island systems and species are susceptible to extinction because of their small population size and an ecological naiveté from an evolutionary past lacking strong competition and predation. For example, only one-fifth of the world’s bird species occur on islands, yet more than 90% of the avian extinctions witnessed during historic...

An econometric analysis of output supply and input demand in the Oregon softwood lumber and plywood industries

Creator:: Guerrero Ochoa, Isabel G.
Abstract:: The present study employs a normalized restricted quadratic profit function approach to estimate lumber and plywood supply and Marshallian factor demand elasticities for four region-product combinations in Oregon for the period 1970-2010. The four log demand functions will be employed as the "demand side" of the log market model of...

An analysis of the viability of ranked set sample methodologies based on the evaluation of Dyess AFB B-47 crash site radiological contamination survey data and theoretical modifications

Creator:: Miller, Vivien J.
Abstract:: Since Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) was proposed in 1952 by G.A. McIntyre, it has been the subject of many statistical investigations and a large number of field studies. Throughout these studies RSS has been proven to provide a better estimate of population the mean and variance than Simple Random Sampling...

Pushing for natural childbirth : a rhetorical analysis of the alternative birth movement

Creator:: Coffey, Kimberly Ann
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to examine how rhetoric functions in the Alternative Birth Movement (ABM). In particular, communication published by movement leaders will be examined to discover how rhetoric propels the movement from one stage to the next as well as how rhetoric facilitates the goals of the...

The Nature of the Discourse on Race and Ethnicity in Play Therapy Literature

Creator:: Page, Unique L.
Abstract:: Ethical and training standards across counseling-related professions contain competencies related to race and ethnicity as necessary research and practice components. One such counseling-related sub-specialty is Play Therapy, which acknowledges that professionals utilizing play therapy techniques must consider racial and cultural context, trauma, and intersectionality when working with children. However, there...
