Emergent Properties of Animal Social Networks: Five Stories in Five Systems

Creator:: Devan-Song, E. Anne
Abstract:: Animals aggregate and interact in nonuniform and nonrandom patterns, which lead to group level characteristics that have important evolutionary and ecological consequences. Network analysis provides a useful conceptual framework for linking animal interactions at all scales from dyads to communities, to populations and ecosystems. Despite exciting theoretical and applied advances...

New Treatments for HIV and Cancer: Uncovering Bioactive Compounds from Small Molecule Sources

Creator:: Overacker, Ross D.
Abstract:: Small molecule drugs have been instrumental in our fight against diseases, beginning when some of the earliest ancient cultures used plant remedies to treat illnesses. More recently, the skill of isolating and characterizing the active ingredients within bioactive plants and microbial extracts has led to the isolation and design of...

A Panel of Histone H3 Mutations to Investigate Centromere Maintenance and Gene Silencing

Creator:: Geisler, Mark S.
Abstract:: Histones, as part of nucleosomes, are responsible for DNA packaging in chromosomes. They also affect DNA expression by a multitude of post-translational modifications, especially prevalent on the amino terminus of histones. Co-activator protein complexes “write”, “read”, or “erase” histone modifications, and in balance determine which sections of DNA are free...

Effects of Secondary Salinization on Three Coastal Breeding Amphibians in Oregon: Taricha granulosa, Hyliola regilla, and Rana aurora

Creator:: Goddard, Amanda L.
Abstract:: Due to threats of secondary salinization caused by increased saltwater intrusion upstream associated with climate change, this thesis examines how salinity affects the development and oviposition site selection habits of three Oregon coastal breeding amphibians, the Roughskin Newt (Taricha granulosa), the Northern Red-legged Frog (Rana aurora) and the Pacific Treefrog...

Knowledge Appropriation and Inventive Productivity

Creator:: Choi, Yohan
Abstract:: Innovation is critical for firm growth and survival. Thus, how much value firms create and capture from their innovative activities has been an interest of scholars. This dissertation explores three important questions on this topic to which extant literature has paid little attention. First, I examine how the external threat...

Efficacy of Empirical Seed Zones: Pseudoroegneria Spicata Reproductive Phenology & Seedling Stage Traits

Creator:: Prive, Kathryn A.
Abstract:: Ecological restoration is needed to mitigate losses to biodiversity. Restoration success is enhanced through the use of native plant materials that are genetically diverse and locally adapted. Seed transfer zones have been developed to delineate geographic areas where native seed can be collected and distributed with reduced risk of maladaptation....

Grassland Restoration and Climate Change: Altar Valley, Arizona Case Study

Creator:: Gondor, Anne
Abstract:: The Altar Valley is an important working landscape that supports biodiversity and vulnerable species in Pima County, Arizona (Huckelberry 2000). This semi-desert grassland, alluvial valley and 713,807-acre watershed composed of 39 subbasins serves as an aquifer to a portion of southwestern Tucson. This region of Southern Arizona has been identified...

Measuring Anti-Müllerian Hormone Concentrations to Determine Reproductive Status in Female Rabbits

Creator:: Meeker, Alissa R.
Abstract:: There are over two million pet rabbits in the United States. Many rabbits are obtained as adults from pet stores and humane societies. Pet rabbit owners may elect to perform ovariohysterectomy (spay) surgeries on female rabbits to prevent unwanted pregnancies as well as to eliminate the possibility of reproductive disorders...

The Evaluation of Cementitious Pore Solution Composition and Electrical Resistivity Using X-ray Fluorescence (XRF)

Creator:: Tsui Chang, Marisol
Abstract:: Interest in performance specifications has been growing in the civil and construction industry in the past decade. One major focus area has been on understanding how to prolong the service life of concrete structures, since repair and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure have cost many trillions of dollars. Deterioration mechanisms such...

Creator:: Nguyen, Hai Yen T.
Abstract:: Since the 1960s, Vietnamese scholars have written autobiographical literature catered to the American public though they have not gotten as much recognition as soldier accounts and anti-war literature. These Vietnamese literatures shifted in scope and form with the succeeding waves of refugee resulted from the war in Việt Nam. As...
