Metagenomics, barcoding, and metabarcoding statistical analysis to facilitate integrative genomic studies of microbial and eukaryotic assemblages

Creator:: Senn, Savanah
Abstract:: The body of work aims to contribute to the area of Quantitative analysis in Environmental Sciences, and is focused on the microbiome. The underlying theme for the dissertation is methods and workflow. The unique bioinformatics workflow used for the analysis of genomic data was used to answer distinct and pressing...

Weevils That Live Under Trees Thrown Out of the Sea: Phylogeny and Microbial Diversity of Sthereus Motschulsky, 1845 and Related Weevils (Curculionidae: Molytinae)

Creator:: Young, Natasha
Abstract:: Here the diversity and phylogeny of the genus, Sthereus Motschulsky, 1845, and its nearest associates in the large subfamily Molytinae are explored through molecular and morphological characters. Sanger sequencing of five genes determined that Sthereus is not monophyletic. Instead, the one species in the genus Gastrotaphrus Buchanan 1936, G. barberi...

Breeding Snap Beans for Organic Agriculture: Quantification and Application of Key Traits

Creator:: Park, Hayley E.
Abstract:: Improving crop cultivars for use on organic farms is pertinent, as current elite germplasm is less resilient within the more variable context of organic farm environments. Although a growing number of studies have focused on organic plant breeding in cereal crops, very few have focused on vegetable crops, especially those...

Development of Computational, Visualization, and Molecular Tools for Fungal and Oomycete Community Ecology

Creator:: Foster, Zachary Stephen Longiaru
Abstract:: Oomycetes are an important group of organisms with a variety of ecological roles similar to fungi. Although many are well-studied plant pathogens known for their devastating effects on agricultural systems, most are little-studied saprobes and parasites of plants and animals in nearly every ecosystem on earth. The advent of affordable...

Spatiotemporal Phytohormone Distributions in Developing Pinot Noir Berries and the Effects of Two Viticulture Practices Thereon

Creator:: Schmidt, Joseph A.
Abstract:: In recent years, many studies have focused on the molecular and biochemical mechanisms regulating the development of wine grapes. The course of grape berry development is directed by genetic design and is mediated by phytohormones, which regulate grape berry growth and development by orchestrating a complex network of interacting genes,...

Use of Targeted and Non-Targeted Analysis to Study Complex PAH Environmental Mixtures

Creator:: Chibwe, Leah
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous contaminants formed from the incomplete combustion of organic material. These contaminants are of concern because of their widespread presence in the environment and toxic properties. In addition, PAHs encompass a class of diverse compounds with varying physicochemical properties and exist in the environment as...

Anomalous ichthyoplankton distributions and concentrations in the northern California Current during the 2010 El Niño and La Niña events

Creator:: Auth, Toby D., Brodeur, Richard D., and Peterson, Jay O.
Abstract:: In late spring of 2010, the northern California Current (NCC) experienced a transition from El Niño to La Niña conditions resulting in anomalous distributions and concentrations within the ichthyoplankton community. We analyzed larval fish data collected during the four months before and after this transition and compared them to data...

Ecosystem function and services provided by the deep sea

Creator:: Thurber, A. R., Sweetman, A. K., Narayanaswamy, B. E., Jones, D. O. B., Ingels, J., and Hansman, R. L.
Abstract:: The deep sea is often viewed as a vast, dark, remote, and inhospitable environment, yet the deep ocean and seafloor are crucial to our lives through the services that they provide. Our understanding of how the deep sea functions remains limited, but when treated synoptically, a diversity of supporting, provisioning,...

Synthesis of Pacific Ocean Climate and Ecosystem Dynamics

Creator:: Di Lorenzo, Emanuele, Combes, Vincent, Keister, Julie E., Strub, P. Ted, Thomas, Andrew C., Franks, Peter J. S., Ohman, Mark D., Furtado, Jason C., Bracco, Annalisa, Bograd, Steven J., Peterson, William T., Schwing, Franklin B., Chiba, Sanae, Taguchi, Bunmei, Hormazabal, Samuel, and Parada, Carolina
Abstract:: The goal of the Pacific Ocean Boundary Ecosystem and Climate Study (POBEX) was to diagnose the large-scale climate controls on regional transport dynamics and lower trophic marine ecosystem variability in Pacific Ocean boundary systems. An international team of collaborators shared observational and eddy-resolving modeling data sets collected in the Northeast...

Modeling the connectivity of Juan Fernandez rock lobster (Jasus frontalis), subpopulations through a biophysical model

Creator:: Porobić, Javier, Parada, Carolina, Ernst, Billy, Hormazábal, Samuel E., and Combes, Vincent
Abstract:: Located approximately 360 nm off the coast of Chile there is a disjoint realm of two small oceanic islands systems, the Juan Fernández and the Desventuradas archipelago. Currently the local economy of the islands is almost exclusively supported by the harvest and trade of marine resources, focusing mainly on the...
