Inheritance and Allelism Among the B genes in Cucurbita moschata

Creator:: Wilson, Casey K.
Abstract:: One of the most economically important genes in squash (Cucurbita spp.) is the B gene which conditions precocious depletion of chlorophyll in preanthesis fruit. The B genes are found naturally occurring in at least three of the five domesticated species of Cucurbita, including C. pepo, C. maxima and, most recently...

Innate behavioral responses to extirpated mammalian apex predators : can fear be utilized to manage populations and protect sensitive habitats

Creator:: Ruch, Zachary
Abstract:: I conducted a field study using gray wolf and mountain lion urine to investigate white-tailed deer and mesopredator behavioral responses to novel predator cues in a natural setting and to see if any changes in wildlife activity correspond to changes in the local biodiversity of a wetland environment. I created...

Reproductive Criminalization: Understanding an Increasingly Wicked Problem

Creator:: Van Coutren, Reagan
Abstract:: Pregnant people have been criminalized for their pregnancy outcomes even after Roe v Wade established some rights to reproductive autonomy. Fetal personhood theory, changing societal conceptions of motherhood, and existing racial and class-based biases have fueled an increasing and complex patchwork of punitive policies and interpretations. This study analyzed 35...

Evaluation of Students’ Response to Field Trips to HJ Andrews Experimental Forest

Creator:: Nyman, Matt and O'Connell, Kari
Abstract:: The Andrews Forest Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) site has a long-term partnership with the University of Oregon Environmental Leadership Program (ELP), providing service-learning opportunities for undergraduate students to facilitate field trips for middle school students to the Andrews LTER site. Undergraduate students develop field trip lessons based on Andrews Forest...

Ringtail (Bassariscus astutus) Survival, Home Range Size, and Rest Site Use in Southwest Oregon

Creator:: Somers, Lindsay N.
Abstract:: The ringtail (Bassariscus astutus) is a small, nocturnal, meso-carnivore that occupies mid-elevation forests in the southwest portion of Oregon. Ringtail are fully protected within Oregon, but a species of conservation concern as they may be vulnerable to habitat loss and fragmentation. Limited data exists regarding ringtail ecology in forested ecosystems,...

The Roles of Recruitment, Species Interactions, and Oceanographic Context in Structuring Rocky Intertidal Communities of the Pacific Northwest and Atlantic Canada

Creator:: Meunier, Zechariah D.
Abstract:: Long-term, large-scale studies of meta-ecosystems provide critical information about how global change influences communities. In my dissertation, I analyzed data from studies encompassing 18 years (2006 – 2023) and over 1,000 km of coastline to investigate drivers of rocky intertidal community structure and dynamics. Specifically, I explored the roles of...

Assessment and Recommendations for Interpretive Programming around Climate Change at the Glades Wildlife Refuge

Creator:: Boyd, Kelsey
Abstract:: This paper identifies 51 best practices of interpretive programming in relation to the topic of climate change and applies those practices to interpretive programs delivered by Natural Lands, a Pennsylvania environmental non-profit organization, and specifically at the Glades Wildlife Refuge, one of Natural Lands’ nature preserves. The best practices are...

Analysis of Asymmetric Heating on a Scaled High Temperature Gas Reactor Experiment During a Pressurized Conduction Cooldown

Creator:: Moore, Thomas
Abstract:: Among the candidates for the next generation of nuclear power plant is the high temperature gas reactor (HTGR). Since the HTGR does not have the same operational history as water cooled reactors do in the United States, investigation into the response of different accident phenomena is still an active area...

Generalized Chip Formation and Thermal Dynamics of Modulated Turning

Creator:: Ozdemir, Mert
Abstract:: Modulation assistance is widely employed to improve chip management in turning. This process is also known as modulated turning. Modulated turning transforms continuous cutting into intermittent cutting by periodically disengaging the tool tip from the workpiece, resulting in the generation of short, easily managed chips. This novel method improves the...

Nanoscale Instrumented Indentation Testing with the Current Capabilities of MOOSE and Marmot

Creator:: VandenBroeder, Gavin T.
Abstract:: Nanoscale Instrumented Indentation Testing (IIT) is a material characterization technique that is used to determine mechanical properties. The size effects present at this scale make it difficult to expand findings to a bulk scale. Modeling can be used to bridge this gap and better understand nanoscale IIT and the size...
