Cruise ship disturbance to Kittlitz's murrelets (Brachyramphus brevirostris) in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Alaska

Creator:: Marcella, Timothy K.
Abstract:: The Kittlitz's murrelet (Brachyramphus brevirostris), a small pursuit-diving seabird in the family Alcidae, occurs across much of coastal Alaska and parts of the Russian Far East. Glacier Bay National Park, located in Southeast Alaska, is believed to support approximately 37% of the worldwide breeding population of Kittlitz's murrelets during the...

"Land of War and Blood" : spectacular violence, conflicting medievalisms, and chivalric legacies in Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe, Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones

Creator:: Horton, Kaely
Abstract:: This thesis examines depictions of medievalism in three central texts: Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe, Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones. Each of these texts provides an entry point for exploring the ways in which English and American writers have...

Giant gartersnake spatial ecology in agricultural and constructed wetlands

Creator:: Valcarcel, Patricia M.
Abstract:: The spatial ecology of a species is a vital component of informed management and restoration plans, yet little is known about how animals use restored or constructed habitat. We assessed home ranges, core areas, and habitat selection of the federally threatened Giant Gartersnake (Thamnophis gigas) using rice agricultural habitat and...

Epidemiology, Etiology, Genetics and Predictive Surveillance Modeling of the Deer Chewing Louse Damalinia (Cervicola) Species

Creator:: Mortenson, Jack A.
Abstract:: A seasonal hair-loss syndrome of native deer began to occur in the Pacific Northwest United States in the mid-1990s. Clinical manifestations of the disease typically include large numbers of chewing lice on Columbia Black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) and Columbia White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus leucurus). Expenditure of energy responding to...

Butterfly and flower community composition among prairie-oak ecosystem habitats in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Powers, Breanna F.
Abstract:: Prairie-oak ecosystems in the Willamette Valley, Oregon have experienced habitat loss and degradation; most of these ecosystems are fragmented into smaller patches. Prairie-oak butterfly species, in the Willamette Valley, have decreased dramatically due to loss or degradation of habitat. More research is needed on sustaining the populations of butterflies in...

Growth and development of tetracycline resistant Chlamydia suis

Creator:: Lenart, Jennifer
Abstract:: Tetracycline is a front line antibiotic for the treatment of chlamydial infections in both humans and animals, and the emergence of tetracycline resistant (tet[superscript R]) Chlamydia is of significant clinical importance. Recently, several tet[superscript R] chlamydial strains have been isolated from swine (Sus scrofa) raised in production facilities in Nebraska....

Response of small mammal mycophagy to varying levels and patterns of green-tree retention in mature forests of western Oregon and Washington

Creator:: Jacobs, Katherine M.
Abstract:: The Demonstration of Ecosystem Management Options (DEMO) study is a large-scale, multi-year, interdisciplinary project examining the effects of various levels and patterns of green-tree retention on multiple forest features. Six retention levels and patterns were examined and replicated across six blocks of predominately Douglas-fir forested land in western Oregon and...

Planktivorous Auklets (Aethia pusilla and A. cristatella) nesting on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska as indicators of marine conditions in the northern Bering Sea

Creator:: Gall, Adrian
Abstract:: Monitoring reproductive success, prey species composition, and colony size of marine birds has been proposed as a method of assessing changes in marine systems that are otherwise difficult to sample (Cairns 1987). I measured inter-annual and intra-seasonal variability in reproductive parameters, taxonomic composition of the diet, and adult body condition...

Probabilistic Geospatial Analyses, Uncertainty Modeling, and Mapping of Seismically-induced Ground Failures

Creator:: Sharifi Mood, Mahyar
Abstract:: Ground failures, in particular landsliding, liquefaction and lateral spreading can be triggered by seismic sources. The frequency, magnitude, and impact of these ground failures are highly dependent on the topography and geology of the site including its slope, depositional environment, and geotechnical properties as well as the proximity of the...

Designing Functional Materials Based on Pyrochlore Oxides: The Role of Mixed Valence and Complex Stoichiometry

Creator:: Converse, Elizabeth Maria Sobalvarro
Abstract:: Solid state inorganic oxides play an important role in next generation electronics based on their stability, versatility, and enhanced properties over other materials. However, in order to design or tune these materials for a desired functionality it is necessary to fully understand the structure behind the properties exhibited. This dissertation...
