The evolutionary stability of partial migration

Creator:: Ohms, Haley A.
Abstract:: Natural selection, in its most basic form, is described as a process in which traitsincrease or decrease in frequency depending on their fitness, and only the trait withthe highest fitness will remain in the population. Yet, populations rarely have asingle `optimal' trait. The way natural selection maintains this observed variationwithin...

Factors affecting contraceptive use among women of reproductive age in northern Jordan : a framework for health policy action

Creator:: Hijazi, Heba Hesham
Abstract:: Jordan has a higher fertility rate (3.8) than the averages of countries similar in income to Jordan (2.2) and compared to the Middle East and North Africa region as a whole (2.8) (WHO, WB, UNICEF, & DHS, 2011). The findings of the 2009 Jordanian Population and Family Health Survey demonstrated...

Efficient Topobathymetric Mapping and 3D Spatial Analysis of Estuaries Using Multi-Platform, Multi-Temporal Data

Creator:: Lambert, Selina E.
Abstract:: Frequent 3D spatial mapping of estuaries is critical to understanding and modeling changes that can impact ecological health (e.g., water quality) and ecosystem services (e.g., aquaculture, nutrient cycling, and shoreline stabilization). However, obtaining accurate, repeat topobathymetric data for estuaries is a major challenge. Because shallow estuaries are typically not used...

Specificity of quantitatively expressed host resistance to Mycosphaerella graminicola

Creator:: Krenz, Jennifer E.
Abstract:: The specificity of quantitative host resistance to plant disease has long been a controversial issue. We examined interactions between wheat (Triticum aestivum) and Mycosphaerella graminicola, causal agent of Septoria tritici blotch, to determine whether specific interactions occur between host and pathogen genotypes that could be involved in eroding quantitatively expressed...

Backpacking Through the Canon

Creator:: Sauter, Megan E.
Abstract:: During summer and fall 2007, I traveled across Europe and studied in Spain. My experiences abroad shaped my reading of certain literary texts as I gained insight into the cultures and settings in which they were produced. In my thesis, I recount some of these experiences and show how my...

Deformation, fluid venting, and slope failure at an active margin gas hydrate province, Hydrate Ridge Cascadia accretionary wedge

Creator:: Johnson, Joel E.
Abstract:: During the last 15 years, numerous geophysical surveys and geological sampling and coring expeditions have helped to characterize the tectonic setting, subsurface stratigraphy, and gas hydrate occurrence and abundance within the region of the accretionary wedge surrounding Hydrate Ridge. Because of these investigations, Hydrate Ridge has developed as an international...

Do Oak Barrels Contribute To The Variability of The Microbiome of Barrel-Aged Beers?

Creator:: Shayevitz, Avi M.
Abstract:: Lambic and other barrel-aged beer styles are gaining popularity in the United States and Europe and are often treated as a premium product that can command a premium price. However, these styles can be prone to spoilage during the barrel-aging process, which represents a significant time and product commitment by...

The effect of videotaped poetry readings on students' responses to poetry

Creator:: Bernhisel, Donna
Abstract:: This research study focused on the ways that reading poetry in print differs from viewing poetry in performance and the effect this had on comprehension and appreciation. Videotaped poetry readings provided students with opportunities to experience poetry in performance. Because very little had been researched in this area, a grounded...

Individual condition and stream temperature influence early maturation of rainbow and steelhead trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss

Creator:: McMillan, John R., Dunham, Jason B., Reeves, Gordon H., Mills, Justin S., and Jordan, Chris E.
Abstract:: Alternative male phenotypes in salmonine fishes arise from individuals that mature as larger and older anadromous marine-migrants or as smaller and younger freshwater residents. To better understand the processes influencing the expression of these phenotypes we examined the influences of growth in length (fork length) and whole body lipid content...

Influence of sex, migration distance, and latitude on life history expression in steelhead and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Creator:: Ohms, Haley A., Sloat, Matthew R., Reeves, Gordon H., Jordan, Chris E., and Dunham, Jason B.
Abstract:: In partially migratory species, such as Oncorhynchus mykiss, the emergence of life history phenotypes is often attributed to fitness trade-offs associated with growth and survival. Fitness trade-offs can be linked to reproductive tactics that vary between the sexes, as well as the influence of environmental conditions. We found that O....
