Branching Brownian Motion with One Absorbing and One Reflecting Boundary

Creator:: Felder, William F.
Abstract:: In this work we will analyze branching Brownian motion on a finite interval with oneabsorbing and one reflecting boundary, having constant drift rate toward the absorbingboundary. Similar processes have been considered by Kesten ([12]), and more recently byHarris, Hesse, and Kyprianou ([11]). The current offering is motivated largely by the...

Diversity, Generalization, and Specialization in Plant-Pollinator Networks of Montane Meadows, Western Cascades, Oregon

Creator:: Helderop, Edward
Abstract:: Despite the importance of plant-pollinator interactions for ecological communities, few long-term observational studies have been conducted of plant-pollinator networks. Using four years of plant-pollinator interaction data from 18 meadows in the Willamette National Forest, Oregon, this thesis examined how meadow size, the amount of nearby meadow habitat, weather, degree days,...
