Pacific marten occupancy and detection probability in relation to infrastructure and environmental factors in the southern Cascade Mountains

Creator:: Hill, Deborah J.
Abstract:: Humans benefit from being in nature and recreating, however outdoor recreation can negatively impact wildlife, including species of conservation concern such as the Pacific marten (Martes caurina). Densities of martens decline following intensive forest management activities, but impacts from recreation are relatively unstudied. My goal was to evaluate marten occupancy...

Addressing Truancy and Dropout: An Assessment of a Case Management Intervention

Creator:: Valdez, Deanna N.
Abstract:: Truancy and dropout are two issues plaguing school districts across the nation. The short- and long-term consequences of both problems are complex and far reaching, affecting students, families, and communities. Once thought of as a problem at the secondary level only, truancy and absenteeism are increasing at the elementary school...

Learning to teach effectively : science, technology, engineering, and mathematics graduate teaching assistants' teaching self-efficacy

Creator:: DeChenne, Sue Ellen
Abstract:: Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are important in the teaching of undergraduate students (Golde & Dore, 2001). However, they are often poorly prepared for teaching (Luft, Kurdziel, Roehrig, & Turner, 2004). This dissertation addresses teaching effectiveness in three related manuscripts: 1. A position paper...

Systematics and phylogeny of Cordyceps and the Clavicipitaceae with emphasis on the evolution of host affiliation

Creator:: Sung, Gi-Ho
Abstract:: Cordyceps is a genus of perithecial ascomycetes. It includes over 400 species that are pathogens of arthropods and parasites of the truffle genus Elaphomyces. Based on the morphology of cylindrical asci, thickened ascus apices and filiform ascospores, it is classified in the Clavicipitaceae (Hypocreales), which also includes endophytes and epiphytes...

Analysis of Cancer Progression by Establishing Quantitative Assessments of Zebrafish Xenografts

Creator:: Gamble, John T.
Abstract:: The goal of this dissertation was to improve our abilities in acquiring critical in vivo data by establishing embryo-larva zebrafish as an exemplary model to quantitatively evaluate cancer progression. The living environment that encompasses a tumor has a significant effect on how cancer develops, grows and metastasizes. In order to...

Emerging infectious disease in lentic environments : the ecology and biogeography of the amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, with perspectives on water quality, limnology, and chemical contaminants

Creator:: Chestnut, Tara
Abstract:: Biodiversity losses in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine systems are accelerating at a global scale and the most threatened vertebrate taxa are those associated with freshwater habitats. The causes of biodiversity losses are often complex and include synergistic effects of natural and human-induced stressors, such as habitat loss and fragmentation, urbanization,...

Studies on the centromere-specific histone, CenH3, of Neurospora crassa and related ascomycetes

Creator:: Phatale, Pallavi A.
Abstract:: In eukaryotes, the defined loci on each chromosome, the centromeres, accomplish the critical task of correct cell division. In some organisms, centromeres are composed of a euchromatic central core region embedded in a stretch of heterochromatin and the inheritance and maintenance of centromeres are controlled by dynamic epigenetic phenomena. Although...

Diagnosis and Etiology of a Soilborne Disease Complex of Winter Squash (Cucurbita maxima) in the Willamette Valley, OR

Creator:: Rivedal, Hannah M.
Abstract:: Winter squash (Cucurbita maxima) grown in Oregon’s Willamette Valley for edible seed, frozen foods, and fresh markets is susceptible to an undiagnosed soilborne disease. Diseased squash fields exhibit symptoms of stunting, root and crown rot, vascular discoloration, and late-season wilt, which in extreme cases can lead to total crop failure....
