▼ Climate change is having profound impacts on animal populations globally, and is expected to become a stronger stressor in future, influencing abundance and persistence of many species. In northern hemisphere bird populations, local weather and climate cycles play important roles via effects on components of individual fitness (i.e., survival and reproductive success), and thus annual fluctuations in population sizes. I used congruent long-term data for duck populations, individuals, and climatic variables to test hypotheses about the relative roles of climate and other factors in population dynamics, variation in vital rates, and timing of breeding. Where possible I used interspecific comparisons to evaluate whether responses were mediated by life-history traits. First, I examined annual variation in the timing, length, and productivity of growing seasons on duck population growth rates in North American boreal forest, 1982-2013. I found limited evidence that spring phenology, growing season length or productivity influenced annual population growth rates, and effects were not always in the direction predicted based on species-specific timing of breeding. Second, I evaluated impacts and potential synchronizing forces of shared trends in temperature and precipitation on widely separated populations of ecologically equivalent duck species in North America and western Europe, 1976-2011. Several duck species-pairs shared increasing time trends but growth rates were not synchronized among years. This pattern of shared trends but no annual synchrony was mirrored in climate variables recorded over the major breeding areas on each continent. Third, at the individual-level, I found that ducklings of a late-breeding species, lesser scaup (Aythya affinis), had slower growth rates when hatched late relative to their cohort but I detected no effect of spring phenology. Hatch date effects did not carryover to influence postfledging survival. In contrast, a negative effect of conspecific density on prefledging growth seemed to carryover to influence postfledging survival, and possibly first-year breeding probability. Fourth, examining breeding dates of individually marked females, I found that early-nesting species tracked spring phenology, while late-nesting species did not. Yet, annual variation in the timing of breeding in late-nesting species suggests that females respond to other unmeasured cues not related to spring phenology. Collectively, results indicate that individual ducks are resilient to annual fluctuations in climatic drivers, so populations respond more strongly to sustained long-term trends in climate cycles. Species I studied have varying capacity to respond to annual phenological cues, but it may be that density dependence in vital rates mediates adverse environmental effects that occur in only one season. Therefore, climate trends that impact per capita resource availability (e.g., wetland area, food quality and quantity) may be the primary concern for conservationists assuming that annual climatic… Advisors/Committee Members: Clark, Robert, Johnstone, Jill, Guo, Xulin, Slattery, Stuart, Devink, Jean Michel, Chivers, Doug.

▼ Grasslands are among the most rapidly declining ecosystems in the world. The Flint Hills ecoregion contains one of the largest remaining tracts of tallgrass prairie, but most of the area is managed with high densities of grazing animals and frequent prescribed burns, thereby reducing variation in vegetative structure. A homogeneous landscape leads to lower diversity and abundance of wildlife species, including grassland songbirds. Patch-burn grazing management has been proposed to more closely match the historical interaction between fire and selective grazing by native ungulates. Pastures managed with patch-burn grazing have a greater variety of vegetative structure and plant species composition, and as a result, higher species diversity, abundance, and reproductive success of grassland birds. However, past work has not considered potential effects of regional variation in predation risk and rates of brood parasitism by Brown-headed Cowbirds (Molothrus ater), or annual variation in climatic conditions on the effects of patch-burn grazing management on the reproductive success of grassland songbirds. Over a six year period and at two tallgrass prairie sites, I tested the effects of patch-burn grazing on the reproductive success of three native grassland songbird species, Dickcissels (Spiza americana), Eastern Meadowlarks (Sturnella magna), and Grasshopper Sparrows (Ammodramus savannarum), as well as subsequent effects on the space use, movements, and survival of fledgling Dickcissels. I found only minor effects of patch-burn grazing on the reproductive success of grassland songbirds, supporting previous studies that show that patch-burn grazing does not have negative effects on demographic rates of grassland songbirds. Management regime did not affect densities or territory size of male Dickcissels, but bird densities tended to be higher and territories tended to be smaller on patches within the patch-burn grazing treatment that were burned in the previous year. Thus, patch-burn grazing management might benefit Dickcissel populations by providing higher quality breeding habitat in unburned patches. Last, I found evidence for a potential tradeoff between habitat selection for nests vs. fledglings of Dickcissels in some rangeland management strategies. Parents that realized high reproductive success by nesting in pastures with lower cowbird densities, produced fledglings that faced high rates of depredation by snakes and showed greater movements away from those pastures. Survival rates and movements of Dickcissel fledglings were low, especially during the first week after leaving the nest, which stresses the importance of local habitat conditions. At a larger spatial scale, I tested whether regional differences in habitat structure could drive variation in apparent survival of grassland songbirds. I found that grassland- and shrubland-breeding species had higher estimates of apparent survival than forest-breeding species, contrary to the prevailing viewpoint that birds breeding in dynamic landscapes, such as… Advisors/Committee Members: Brett K.

▼ Scholars are eager to evaluate the effects of health policy on health, but they often neglect that policies are intricately connected to marriage, family structure, and social standing. The three chapters of this dissertation study unintended consequences of health insurance policies in the United States. How people gain private health insurance is connected to divorce (chapter 1) and availability of a public insurance program at birth is associated with lower mortality not only in infanthood but also in adulthood (chapter 2). US health policies that tie health insurance coverage to socioeconomic status add dimensions to racial and ethnic inequality. Minorities spend more years without insurance due to their greater probabilities of losing coverage (chapter 3). These chapters provide national landscapes of health insurance coverage and inequality in the years prior to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 setting the baseline for post-reform comparisons. In Chapter 1, I apply hazard models to the nationally representative longitudinal Survey of Income and Program Participation (2004 panel) to find lower divorce rates among people who are enrolled in their spouses’ health insurance policies. Women who depend on their husbands for health insurance had the lowest rates of divorce. This chapter highlights how family- and employment-based insurance coverage could create inequalities between families and between men and women. In Chapter 2, I use US Vital Statistics data to compare changes in age-specific mortality rates between cohorts born in states with Medicaid and cohorts born in states without Medicaid. I exploit the variation in the timing of States’ Medicaid participation to establish a connection between the availability of public insurance at birth to improvements in later life mortality. This chapter underscores the lasting consequences of having access to medical care during critical periods in the life-course. Chapter 3 examines the dynamics of gaining and losing health insurance across the life course and how it contributes to racial and ethnic disparities in coverage. African Americans, Hispanics, and Asians have high uninsurance rates mostly due to their greater likelihoods of losing the insurance that they already have. Life-table simulations show that simply increasing the accessibility of health insurance does surprisingly little to reduce disparities in insurance coverage. This paper draws attention to the importance of developing policies that stabilize existing insurance.

▼ Dispersal is a critical life history transition for many organisms. Successful dispersal is dependent on context, especially in heterogeneous landscapes, because individuals can only survive, grow, and reproduce in suitable habitat. Context may be especially important for passively dispersed species, including plants, because individuals cannot ‘choose’ the habitat in which they settle. The phenotypic plasticity of dispersal traits may be advantageous in these species. However, despite its potential importance, not much is known about the phenotypic plasticity of dispersal traits in plants, or the ecological implications of plastic trait responses. Here, I examine the phenotypic plasticity of dispersal traits using both empirical and theoretical approaches. I begin in Chapter 1 by presenting an introduction to phenotypic plasticity and dispersal. In Chapter 2, I show that dispersal phenotypic plasticity can maintain metapopulation growth rates in heterogeneous environments. This chapter also shows that highly dispersive species that are not phenotypically plastic may be especially vulnerable to population decline in the context of habitat degradation and destruction. In Chapters 3-5, I show that dispersal traits in the invasive thistle Carduus nutans (Asteraceae) plastically respond to drought, herbivore damage, and increases in temperature under experimental conditions. In each of these chapters, I use my empirical data in theoretical models of dispersal or spread to show how observed phenotypic plasticity in individuals can affect population-level outcomes. Finally, in Chapter 6, I shift my focus from plasticity to within-maternal capitulum variation, and show that differences among siblings can contribute to important differences in projections of spatial dynamics. My research shows that phenotypically plastic dispersal traits, and differences between individual seeds from the same mother, can be important factors affecting movement across landscapes. This research thus represents a significant step forward for our ecological understanding of how passively dispersed species move. Since passively dispersed species often form the base of food webs, and may be affected by changes in their environment, this research also contributes to a better understanding of how species might respond to new challenges brought about by climate change.

▼ Diabetes is on the rise. The world faces an emerging deadly threat on people’s health and nations’ public-health systems with a large economic burden. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of people living with diabetes has risen from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014 (WHO, 2016). In the United States, more than 80 million people are living with diabetes or prediabetes and this number is projected to double by 2050 (CDC, 2017). Diabetes is a serious and life-threatening condition that occurs when the body cannot regulate blood sugar. When diabetes is not appropriately controlled, it causes dire consequences for health and well-being of individuals. Furthermore, compelling empirical evidence has shown a strong association between diabetes and premature death (Gu, Cowie and Harris, 1998). In 2016, the number of deaths in the world due to diabetes was 1.6 million and this number is expected to increase (WHO, 2016). Thus, reducing excess deaths from diabetes has been one of the main goals of global efforts, such as 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development developed by the WHO (UN General Assembly, 2015). Accordingly, public health policy makers and health providers have called for better diabetes prevention interventions and disease management programs designed to reduce the risk of mortality due to diabetes. This dissertation aims to contribute to these efforts by filling critical gaps in the previous literature on diabetes and mortality. The gaps this dissertation focuses on are threefold. First, the fraction of total deaths attributable to diabetes is seriously underestimated when an underlying cause of death on death certificates is used to assess the contribution of diabetes to overall mortality, which is a commonly used method to assess the contribution of diabetes to a national mortality profile. Second, despite a body of literature on the association between diabetes and mortality, few prospective studies have examined this association by using information on self-reported diagnosed diabetes and biomarkers of diabetes measured at the start of the mortality follow-up (or baseline) simultaneously. Third, prior findings on nativity disparities in diabetes in the United States have been inconsistent and most studies have relied solely on self-reported diabetes, which may be biased due to immigrants’ limited access to healthcare. Each of these three gaps is addressed in the following chapters. In Chapter 1, I examine the contribution of diabetes to US life expectancy using a Population Attributable Fraction (PAF) approach. I found that life expectancy at age 30 increases by 0.89 years when diabetes is eliminated based on the PAF, and this estimate is much higher than a gain of 0.34 years based on underlying cause of death data. In Chapter 2, I estimate the risk of death associated with diabetes using both self-reported diagnosed diabetes and a level of HbA1c measured at baseline. Results show that self-reported diagnosed diabetes had a stronger association with mortality than HbA1c at…

▼ Although introduced plant species are often considered to be one of the most notable anthropogenic threats to biodiversity, their influence on biodiversity remains controversial. Some studies have shown large declines in biodiversity in plant-invaded areas, whereas others have noted that plant invasions are rarely implicated as the cause of species extinctions. This dissertation aims to synthesize this seemingly conflicting literature on the effects of invasive plants on biodiversity. The overarching hypothesis in this research is that the effect of invasive plant species on biodiversity is scale-dependent, and the discrepancy among studies can be explained by a difference in the scales of investigation at which these studies take place. In addition, the processes by which invasive plants influence community structure leads to slow, long-term extinction dynamics that mask likely future plant extinctions. In Chapter 1, I used a meta-analysis to examine the influence of invasive plants on plant biodiversity. The meta-analysis showed a negative relationship between the effect size of an invasive plant on biodiversity: i.e., species richness) and the spatial scale at which the data were collected. Next, in Chapter 1 and 2, I developed a framework that generated testable predictions about why invasive plants cause scale-dependent biodiversity loss. This framework linked the shifts in plant biodiversity to scale-dependence by using the species-area relationship. In Chapter 2, I tested the framework by conducting surveys of species-area relationships in habitats with and without invasive plants in three disparate ecosystems – a temperate forest, sub-tropical forest, and tropical forest. In all three ecosystems, species in invaded habitats accumulated faster with area than species in uninvaded habitats, revealing smaller effects of invasive plants on the loss of biodiversity with increasing spatial scale. Results showed that scale-dependent biodiversity loss was due to sampling effects: i.e., a loss of individuals), as well as larger negative effects on the abundance of common species compared to the abundance of rare species. In Chapter 3, I further investigated changes in community structure by exploring the demographic processes that result in differential effects on common versus rare native species in habitats invaded by Lonicera maackii: Caprifoliaceae) in Missouri, United States. The overall population growth of common species was consistently more negatively affected than that of rare species. This was due to larger declines in common species' reproduction and greater sensitivity of their population growth to declines in the proportion of reproductive individuals. Finally, in Chapter 4, I established field and greenhouse experiments to test which abiotic conditions are altered by the presence of L. maackii. The results of these experiments showed that L. maackii significantly reduce light levels that reach the forest floor and that rare species tend to be more shade-tolerant than common species.

▼ Previous research has shown larger than expected numbers of deaths at the age of 28 during the 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic in Canada. To analyze whether this was related to the Russian influenza pandemic that occurred 28 years previously in 1890, the Western, McMaster, Montreal Influenza Pandemic (WMMIP) database was created. It utilizes the death records of 3,316 individuals who died in Ontario between the ages of 23 and 35 from September to December, 1918, and who were also born in Ontario. These were linked to birth records, the 1901 and 1911 Canadian censuses, marriage records, and attestation papers. A reconstructed date of birth was created for each individual to analyze date of potential exposure in 1890. Those who were in utero in 1890 died in greater numbers than would be expected and those in the first trimester of gestation had an unusual sex-ratio at death. Of the various hypotheses proposed to account for the high young adult mortality, these data most closely support that of antigenic imprinting. There is cautious support for the fetal growth restrictions hypothesis, but these data do not support the scarring mechanism. Further, these data do not support the hypothesized relationship between tuberculosis infection and influenza mortality. More individuals left agricultural homes of origin among the decedents than among the Ontario population in general. There were proportionally more French Canadians, more catholic individuals, and more people from Eastern Ontario. The decedents also came from larger families than were found in the general population, although this may be an artifact of the records linkage process. This research shows that the mortality pattern in Ontario during the pandemic was similar to what it was prior to the epidemic: mortality continued along the fault lines in society and did not equalize risk in a “democratic” manner. The extant records are appropriate for historical demographic analyses and the strength and weaknesses for each are detailed. As expected, individuals from the north, who were aboriginal, from smaller families, or in transient occupations were harder to link.

▼ This dissertation consists of three essays on health inequalities that arise from interactions between education, gender, and socio-cultural context: gender disparities in the educational gradients in weight status, the gender-specific relationship between mortality of parents and offspring's educational attainment, and the association between adult literacy and self-rated health in 17 developed countries. Methodologically, I use multinomial regression, quantile regression, Cox proportional hazards models, and country fixed-effect approaches aligning my analytic strategies with the nature and scope of the research questions. The first chapter focuses on whether weight status is socially patterned by the interplay between human capital, economic, and behavioral resources in a highly gendered context of South Korea. The study shows that women who have fewer opportunities to transfer human capital into economic resources may utilize their human capital to obtain symbolic resources, such as physical attractiveness. In contrast, education is not a direct predictor of obesity among men, for whom behaviors promoting healthy weight often conflict with collective ideology at work such as heavy drinking and for whom motivation to obtain professional success is stronger than to obtain symbolic resources. The second essay focuses on intergenerational support from adult offspring to older parents and examines whether the relationship between children's educational attainment and parental mortality varies by the gender of the parent and the gender of the child. The study reveals that children's education is strongly associated with mothers' mortality beyond mothers' own socioeconomic status (SES). The relationship is less pronounced for fathers and is largely explained by the father’s own SES. Furthermore, sons' educational attainment is a stronger predictor of the mortality of parents than daughters' educational attainment. The third chapter examines whether literacy skills predict self-rated health beyond educational attainment in 17 developed countries using a cross-national survey, the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC). The study finds that the literacy-related health inequalities are less severe in countries with higher public share of health expenditures that may better address the needs of vulnerable individuals. Curriculum standardization also contributes to reducing health disparities by decreasing variance in skills obtained through education across individuals.

▼ Ecological factors and the policy environment are central constraints on population well-being. This dissertation emphasizes the role of shocks to help understand the nature of such constraints, and explores the relationship between population, environment, and development in greater detail than is typically possible. Chapter 1 opens by contributing to a growing body of evidence around the impacts of old-age pensions on the well-being of pension recipients and their families. I draw from the unique disbursement structure of a popular, widely utilized benefits program in rural Brazil, and data from two nationally representative surveys conducted in 2013 by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. I first employ regression discontinuity design to measure the direct effect of the program’s age threshold on pension take-up. Second, I compare differences in reports of health and well-being among age-eligible and age-ineligible adults in rural areas to the same differences among populations that generally do not qualify for the benefit (i.e., urban populations). This difference-in-differences shows robust evidence of a beneficial pension effect, though along somewhat different dimensions by gender. I then show evidence of two credible mechanisms for improved health and well-being: first, improved food security within households that have eligible pension recipients; second, the cohabitation of younger family members, potentially providing support to aging family members. Taken together, this chapter demonstrates that the rural benefits program in Brazil leads to tangible health benefits for its recipients, through channels that are likely to complement rather than crowd out other public services. Chapter 2 moves on to explore how a massive natural disaster affected smoking behavior, a common coping mechanism. External stressors are commonly hypothesized to play a role in the adoption of certain health behaviors, but understanding the role of exposure is frequently hampered by research designs and data that are inadequate for tracing causality. I use this study to evaluate the relationship between unanticipated exposure to a natural disaster and smoking behaviors using longitudinal data collected from families in Aceh, Indonesia before and after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Exposure to the tsunami is measured as a community indicator of physical proximity to damage, and as individual indicators of personal experiences at the time of the tsunami. My analysis indicates that the effect of exposure on smoking uptake varies considerably by age, and that most forms of exposure increase smoking volume. These effects appear to be temporary, but even in the context of Indonesia’s extraordinarily high smoking rates an impact is perceptible even ten years after the tsunami. Chapter 3 delves further into the effects of the tsunami, exploring the distribution of resources after the broad destruction of infrastructure and subsequent, fast-paced reconstruction. I evaluate multiple aspects of water… Advisors/Committee Members: Rangel, Marcos (advisor), Frankenberg, Elizabeth (advisor).

▼ This dissertation examines the extent to which urban education reform affects the ways in which gentrification unfolds. Popular reforms to public elementary and secondary schools, and to entire school districts, have been implemented throughout major American cities over the past several decades. While municipal officials frequently cite strictly educational goals related to student achievement when they champion such reforms, educational improvement is not the only objective at stake for cities pursuing school reform. As school quality has been cited as a prominent concern for middle-class families living within major cities, popular school reforms have increasingly been deployed by cities as part of an economic development strategy designed to attract and retain a stable middle class. To the extent that these school-based efforts to maintain an urban middle-class presence succeed, they have the potential to alter the process of gentrification in contemporary American cities.; To examine these ideas, I draw on archival data from government reports and media accounts, quantitative migration data from the U.S. Census Bureau, and qualitative data from interviews conducted with parents of school-age children to investigate (at multiple levels of analysis) the ways in which educational concerns affect middle-class families' residential choices and lifestyle preferences. Analyses of archival data indicate that school reforms have been implemented in many cities nationwide for the explicit purpose of recruiting middle-class families with children to move in and stay. Quantitative analyses reveal that, between 2005 and 2010, households with children were more likely to move into, and less likely to move out of, cities whose school districts offered them greater autonomy in choosing where to send their children to school. Finally, interview data highlight urban middle-class families' efforts to find high-quality schooling options within their gentrified neighborhoods, while demonstrating the tension between these residents' preference for an urban lifestyle and their concerns over public schooling in the city. I conclude by discussing various dimensions along which urban social theory related to gentrification could be broadened, as well as several contentious political questions surrounding the benefits and detriments of gentrification, particularly as they relate to urban education reform.

▼ This dissertation examines household energy consumption in the United States over the period of 1987 to 2009, specifically focusing on the role of socioeconomic status, demographic composition, and energy services profiles. The dissertation makes use of four cross-sections from the Residential Energy Consumption Survey data series to examine how household characteristics influence annual energy consumption overall, and by fuel type. Chapter 4 shows that household income is positively related to energy consumption, but more so for combustible fuel consumption than for electricity consumption. Additionally, results for educational attainment suggest a less cross-sectional association and more longitudinal importance as related to income. Demographic composition matters, as predicted by the literature; household size and householder age show predicted effects, but when considered together, income explains any interaction between age and household size. Combustible fuels showed a far greater relationship to housing unit size and income, whereas electricity consumption was more strongly related to educational attainment, showing important differences in the associations by fuel type. Taken together, these results suggest a life course-based model for understanding energy consumption that may be strongly linked to lifestyles. Chapter 5 extends the findings in Chapter 4 by examining the patterning of physical characteristics and behaviors within households. The chapter uses Latent Class Analysis to examine a broad set of energy significant behaviors and characteristics to discover five unique energy services profiles. These profiles are uniquely patterned across demographic and socioeconomic compositions of households and have important effects on energy consumption. These profiles are likely byproducts of the lifestyles in which the household takes part, due to factors such as their socioeconomic status and household demographic composition. Overall, the dissertation finds strong evidence for taking a more lifecycle-based approach to understanding how energy is consumed based on the combined importance of householder age, household size, and socioeconomic status. Additionally, these factors produce very different energy services profiles that I argue are indicative of the lifestyle in which a household engages. Finally, the dissertation argues that these connections are essential to understanding energy consumption and provide a fertile ground for future research. Advisors/Committee Members: Richard G. Rogers, Jason Boardman, Lori Hunter, Fernando Risomena, Landy Pena-Sanchez.

▼ This descriptive, correlational study investigated how psychological resilience might be associated with forgiveness in older adults. The population selected was a planned community in the southeastern United States; the majority of the 4,500 residents were over 50 years old, Caucasian, married, retired or semi-retired, and in reasonably good health. Having relocated to this community from all over our nation and from foreign countries and having achieved a generally high level of success on the average, these people brought with them a wide range of life’s experiences. A random sample of 900 was drawn from the community directory. Of these, 497 respondents completed a mailed survey comprised of the Resilience Scale (Wagnild & Young, 1993), the Trait Forgivingness Scale (Berry, Worthington, O’Connor, Parrott, & Wade, 2005), and an individual profile of selected demographics and self-assessment items. A series of t tests, bivariate correlations, and multiple regressions tested the relationships between resilience and forgiveness, as well as any contributing effects of age, gender, health, self-rated resilience, self-rated forgiveness, difficulty of childhood, highest educational level completed, highest annual salary earned, and current employment status. The analyses indicated a low, but statistically significant correlation between resilience and forgiveness (r = .339, p < .05); as forgiveness increased, resilience tended to increase somewhat. Age was not found to be significantly associated with either resilience or forgiveness in bivariate correlations, but did prove significant when in combination with other variables. The influence of the forgiveness score in the presence of the variables listed above in explaining the variance in resilience was tested using hierarchical multiple regression techniques. The regression resulted in a model consisting of the forgiveness score, self-rated resilience, age, gender, and health status as the variables explaining about 28.1% of the variance in resilience. This research added to our knowledge about resilience, older adults and aspects of aging, and forgiveness. Findings may be generalized with caution to the community and to similar populations elsewhere. They hold implications for policy and procedures in disciplines such as adult education, workplace training and development, psychology, clinical practice, and gerontology.
