  • Dogs, Death, and Dietary Breadth: Insights into the Macroecology and Macroevolution of Canidae

    Creator:
    Tanis, Brian P.
    Abstract:
    The size, shape, and stability of a species’ dietary niche can both influence and reflect a variety of biological patterns, including species interactions, extinction risk, and ecosystem function. This is particularly apparent when dietary changes manifest at ecosystem and clade scales to profoundly affect macroecological and macroevolutionary trajectories. However, many...

  • An application of item response theory to the test of gross motor development

    Creator:
    Cole, Emily Lynne
    Abstract:
    The purposes of this study were to (a) provide insight into the use of item response theory (IRT) with psychomotor skills, (b) assess the psychometric properties of the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD) using IRT, and (c) provide a basis for future studies of the TGMD using IRT. The...

  • How competitive are iconic competitors? Testing resource partitioning in Great Basin chipmunks

    Creator:
    Ormand, Elora J.
    Abstract:
    Competitive exclusion is a key concept in ecology describing the exclusion of one species by another from access to a limited resource. Competitive interactions between chipmunk species in the Great Basin, documented by James Brown in 1970, are often used as a textbook example of competitive exclusion. Whether competitive interactions...

  • Linking Space, Time, and Elevation through Diet: Stable Isotope Analysis of Functionally Diverse Rodents in the Great Basin

    Creator:
    Taylor, David S.
    Abstract:
    Ecology is focused on understanding how organisms interact with each other and their environments, across ecological, spatial, and temporal scales. Thus, understanding how processes and patterns of ecological systems change across space and time is a principle goal for conservation biologist globally. While many approaches exist for investigating the changing...

  • Context and Scale Mediate the Impact of Climate on a Widespread Avian Predator

    Creator:
    Brawner, Michael D.
    Abstract:
    Anthropogenic climate change is threatening biodiversity as I currently understand it. There is now a large body of work highlighting species responses, globally, to this threat. Importantly, responses at the species level emerge from responses at lower levels of biological organization (individuals and populations) across a species’ geographic range. For...

  • The exercise motivation scale : its multifaceted structure and construct validity

    Creator:
    Li, Fuzhong
    Abstract:
    Building upon Deci and Ryan's (1985, 1991) self-determination theory as well as previous empirical work on motivation, the present study was designed to develop a multifaceted 31-item Exercise Motivation Scale (EMS). A series of pilot studies were first conducted in order to generate the 31 scale items. The EMS was...

  • The effect of surface type on plantar pressure distribution and running kinematics

    Creator:
    Killgore, Garry L.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to examine pressure at five selected sites on the plantar surface of the foot and adaptations in running kinematics among fourteen male varsity collegiate distance runners on five different surfaces--asphalt, cinders, concrete, grass, and tartan. Pressure data were collected with an Electrodynogram system (EDG)...

  • The relationship between burnout and selected demographic and job-related variables among Oregon public school teacher-coaches : identifying coping strategies

    Creator:
    Kosa, Boonsong
    Abstract:
    The purposes of this study were to determine relationships between burnout and selected demographic and job-related variables and to identify burnout coping strategies commonly used by teacher-coaches in public secondary schools. A volunteer sample of 193 teacher-coaches responded to a three-section questionnaire composed of the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Jaloweic...

  • Isotopic Analysis of Diet Specificity in the Chisel-toothed Kangaroo Rat, Dipodomys microps

    Creator:
    Guerre, Megan E.
    Abstract:
    Rapid changes in global climate have put many species at risk, particularly niche specialists. The Chisel-toothed kangaroo rat, Dipodomys microps, is thought to specialize on the desert shrub Atriplex confertifolia. Because of this close relationship, D. microps was presumed to have tracked the shrub as its distribution shifted south during...
