The Long and Short of it: Dynamic Ways in Which Small Mammals Respond In-Situ to Environmental Gradients in Time and Space

Creator:: Grimes, Juniper E.
Abstract:: In the face of environmental stressors, change is imperative for species to remain in place. The nature and degree of this change is of great interest, as it sheds light into the ways in which species respond to ecological and habitat change and may continue to respond during periods of...

Exploring the Relationship Between 𝛿13Ccarb Signal Preservation and Algorithmic Chemostratigraphic Alignment Accuracy

Creator:: Reynolds, Paige J.
Abstract:: Changes in the stable carbon isotope composition of carbonate rocks (𝛿13Ccarb) are used to establish the relative temporal framework for geological events, such as evolutionary extinction or radiation, between two or more locations. As every local stratigraphic record is intermittent, aligning 𝛿13Ccarb records from two or more locations, a process...

Perspectives on Pits of the Western Stemmed Tradition : An Analysis on the Contents of Feature 59 at the Cooper’s Ferry Site

Creator:: Carroll, Amanda J.
Abstract:: Excavation of a pit feature designated as Feature 59 (F59) from the Cooper’s Ferry site (10IH73) in western Idaho offers a unique opportunity to explore more about the Western Stemmed Tradition (WST) and how people used pits in the Far West. In this thesis, an analysis is conducted on the...

Structure and Dynamics of the Canine (Canis familiaris) Nasal Microbiome

Creator:: Knorr, Elizabeth
Abstract:: The diverse community of bacteria living within and on host organisms, known as the microbiome, has an important role in maintaining host health. Dysbiosis, known as a change in the healthy community of the microbiome, has been associated with a number of diseases across host organisms and body sites including...

Stags of the Sea or Hedgehogs of the Harbor? Inferring the Point of Sculpin Cranial Weaponry

Creator:: Buser, Thaddaeus J.
Abstract:: Animal weapons are thought to have evolved to compete for reproductive opportunities within a species. Across the diverse weapon-bearing taxa, several evolutionary trends have emerged: (1) increasing complexity and relative size across ontogeny, (2) sexual dimorphism, and (3) higher levels of random deviations from symmetry (i.e., fluctuating asymmetry) than non-weaponized...

The Breeding Ecology and Foraging Niche of Aleutian Terns (Onychoprion aleuticus) in the Kodiak Archipelago, Alaska

Creator:: Tengeres, Jill E.
Abstract:: The Aleutian tern (Onychoprion aleuticus) is a species of high conservation concern in Alaska due to large declines at known breeding locations since the 1960s. Due to the small population size and ephemeral behavior of this species on the nesting grounds, there is little basic biological information available and data...

Wildlife Health in Managed Forests : Immunity and Infectious Diseases in Wild Rodents of Oregon

Creator:: Hanselmann, Rhea
Abstract:: With continual and worldwide human population growth, our impact on the natural environment expands and intensifies every day. We consume natural resources, burn fossil fuels, and release toxic compounds into the air, water, and earth. We build roads that fragment the landscape, construct new settlements, and develop agricultural lands in...

Emission, energy, and production efficiency of a radio-frequency assisted gas-fired veneer dryer

Creator:: Zenke, Randall C.
Abstract:: The drying of wood is required in most forest products manufacturing operations. Depending on the wood species, dimensions, drying temperatures, and drying duration, the amount of emissions and energy consumption can greatly affect the operating cost, environment, and quality of wood dried. As such, the forest products industry continues to...

Investigating the Role of Dune Grasses, Carbon Storage, and Marine Nutrient Subsidies to the Functions and Services of U.S. Central Atlantic Coastal Dune Ecosystems

Creator:: Jay, Katya R.
Abstract:: Sandy beaches and dunes cover approximately one-third of the world’s ice-free coastlines and provide ecosystem services including coastal protection, recreation, wildlife habitat, and carbon sequestration. These dynamic interface habitats are variably shaped by wind, waves, sedimentary processes, and vegetation feedbacks. Positive biophysical feedbacks lead to the formation of vegetated coastal...

The role of musculoskeletal forces in the human walk-run transition

Creator:: Fewster, Jonathan B.
Abstract:: This investigation examined the possible role of musculoskeletal forces in the human walk-run transition. In order to measure these forces a treadmill was constructed which allowed the measurement of vertical ground reaction forces while subjects walked and ran at prescribed speeds. Validation proved the device to be accurate and reliable...
