  • The Relationship Between IGF-1 and Bone Turnover in a Non-Human Primate Model of Voluntary Alcohol Consumption

    Creator:
    Sattgast, Lara H.
    Abstract:
    Alcohol is a widely consumed, nonessential, bioactive nutrient with end-organ effects on the skeleton. Moderate levels of alcohol consumption are generally associated with increased bone mineral density (BMD), whereas higher intake levels result in reduced bone formation, bone loss, and increased risk for osteoporotic fracture. Given the negative impact of...

  • Independent effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on pollination : tropical forest fragmentation alters hummingbird movements and pollination dynamics

    Creator:
    Hadley, Adam S.
    Abstract:
    A growing body of work reveals that animal-mediated pollination is negatively affected by anthropogenic disturbance. Landscape-scale disturbance results in two often inter-related processes: (1) habitat loss, and (2) disruptions of habitat configuration (i.e. fragmentation). Understanding the relative effects of such processes is critical in designing effective management strategies to limit...

  • Classification of Native Vegetation of Oregon - 2019

    Creator:
    Kagan, James S., Brunner, Rachel L., and Christy, John A.
    Abstract:
    This classification is an update of the 2004 classification of native vegetation of Oregon by Kagan, Christy, Murray and Titus. As before, this classification lists the native plant associations known to occur in Oregon, and includes both successional and climax vegetation types that were part of the presettlement landscape of...

  • Forest Response to Water Availability and Disturbance in the Western United States

    Creator:
    Berner, Logan T.
    Abstract:
    Earth’s atmosphere is unequivocally warming due to CO₂ and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human activities and this is having widespread impacts on forest ecosystems that provide important services to human societies. Forest ecosystems help regulate atmospheric CO2 concentrations by sequestering carbon in tree biomass and soils, which is...

  • The effects of thermodynamic parameterizations, ice shelf geometry, and tides on modeled basal melting of Weddell Sea ice shelves

    Creator:
    Mueller, Rachael D.
    Abstract:
    Antarctic Ice Sheet mass balance and, hence, sea level change is affected by the floating extensions of outlet glaciers and ice streams that take up about 44% of the coastline (Drewry et al., 1982) and are referred to as "ice shelves". Ice sheet mass loss accelerates when these ice shelves...

  • Landscape Genomics and Climatic Responses of Willamette Valley Alders

    Creator:
    Kral, George L.
    Abstract:
    The climate of the Pacific Northwest is in flux, and existing forest ecosystems are stressed and poised to shift in fundamental ways, with or without human intervention. This dissertation probes the nature of forest responses to environmental change through investigations of morphology and genetics of three species of alder co-occurring...

  • Community-based sea turtle monitoring and management at Helen Reef, Hatohobei State, Republic of Palau

    Creator:
    Barr, Julie M.
    Abstract:
    Remote areas are frequently homes to regional subpopulations of endangered green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) and their essential habitat. Local communities are often the users and primary stewards of this valuable and charismatic resource. Recognizing this, a Hatohobeian community group in Palau has engaged in longterm monitoring and conservation management...

  • A risk-informed decision making framework accounting for early-phase conceptual design of complex systems

    Creator:
    Van Bossuyt, Douglas L.
    Abstract:
    A gap exists in the methods used in industry and available in academia that prevents customers and engineers from having a voice when considering engineering risk appetite in the dynamic shaping of early-phase conceptual design trade study outcomes. Current methods used in Collaborative Design Centers either collect risk information after...
