A Thesis Submitted In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Science Microbiology

Although American White Pelicans (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) (AWP) typically reside in the western plains of North America, within the last 30 years they have migrated to unexpected locations, perhaps due to climate change. One area of Wisconsin that has encountered unexpectedly high numbers of AWP (and other waterfowl) is Terrell's Island on Lake Butte des Morts, estimated to have over 1,500 nesting AWP. The presence of pelicans and other waterfowl is likely to have a significant, negative impact on recreational water quality in this area. Water samples were collected twice weekly from two sites around Terrell's Island on Lake Butte des Morts from inside the breakwall, directly adjacent to nesting islands, and from a "control" area in Shubert Marsh, away from pelican populations. A total of 24 samples were collected throughout the summer of 2012. Fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) were measured from both locations using the Colilert and Enterolert assays (for E. coli and enterococci, respectively). Each sample type was also filtered through nitrocellulose and polycarbonate filters for further microbial testing. Nitrocellulose filters were plated in triplicate onto various selective media to qualitatively identify potential pathogens (Salmonella, Campylobacter). Each set of polycarbonate filters was frozen at -80C to enumerate C. jejuni using quantitative PCR (qPCR). Equal numbers of samples were collected for both culture-based enumeration as well as molecular-based enumeration. Average culturable FIB concentrations were notably greater in waters adjacent to pelican nesting areas (E. coli: 480 vs. 76 MPN/100 ml, enterococci: 637 vs. 290 MPN/100 ml). Fecal pathogens (Salmonella, Campylobacter) were undetectable in water samples by traditional culture methods and by quantitative PCR (qPCR). On average, chlorophyll a concentrations were also considerably higher in the breakwall area compared to chlorophyll a concentrations in Shubert Marsh (119.83 vs. 92.74 g/L). In summary, AWP have a negative impact on water quality in Lake Butte des Morts and may impair recreational water quality at other locations with high waterfowl densities.

▼ Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and development and it is the major growth-limiting nutrient in many soils. In comparison to other plant species, white lupin (Lupinus albus L.) has been found to show extreme tolerance to P deficiency. Under P-deficient conditions, white lupin develops short, lateral, densely clustered rootlets, proteoid roots, that aid P acquisition. A previous functional genomic approach has examined 2100 ESTs (Expressed Sequence Tags) obtained from proteoid roots and found that 35 of them were up-regulated in white lupin grown under -P nutrient stress conditions. This study focused on the functional characterization of the P-responsive genes LaNod21 and LaMATE. The LaMATE gene is of special interest, as it is significantly induced in proteoid roots under ???P, ???N, ???Fe, ???Mn, and +Al stress conditions. LaMATE shows homology to MATE (multi-drug and extrusion) proteins, while LaNod21 shows homology to nodulin-21 in soybeans. RNAi constructs to knockdown LaNod21 and LaMATE in white lupin and a CaMV35S::LaMATE cDNA construct to study over-expression of LaMATE have been made previously. In this study, these constructs were used to overexpress LaMATE and to knock-down LaMATE and LaNod21, in white lupin. LaNod21 expression level in the knock-down mutant, compared to empty-vector controls, were determined by qRT-PCR. LaNod21 expression was found to be down-regulated in all three biological replications, though SEM (standard error of means) was too high for biological replicate 1 and 2. Flavonoid staining combined with fluorescent microscopy was done to study flavonoid accumulation pattern in LaMATE and LaNod21 mutants. The differences in flavonoid staining pattern among LaMATE constructs supports our hypothesis that LaMATE may be a flavonoid transporter. LaNod21, on the other hand, did not show any difference in the flavonoid patterns. Phenotypic characterization of the LaNod21 RNAi-silenced plants, in comparison to empty vector plants, showed less vigor and significant reduction of shoot fresh and dry weight.

▼ Clonal propagation of white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) through somatic embryogenesis (SE) has important applications in tree improvement programs and will help the forest industry to achieve maximum sustainable yield. The level of induction of embryogenic tissue and the yield of mature embryos through SE has reached acceptable levels using current protocols. However, a large percentage of these embryos produce abnormal seedlings. This problem needs to be assessed and this was done in the work described in this thesis. Empirically derived, uncontrolled partial desiccation procedures are currently used to improve germinaton. No systematic study has previously been done to correlate the effects of controlled desiccation on germinant quality. My study looked at the effects of controlled partial and complete desiccation of white spruce somatic embryos at four stages of development on subsequent germinant quality. Both slow desiccation at 5°C and flash desiccation at ambient temperature were examined. The effect of temperature treatments as an alternate means of improving germinant quality and its effect on desiccation tolerance were also examined. Dried somatic embryos are likely to suffer imbibitional damage as they (unlike zygotic embryos) have no protective structures surrounding them to regulate water uptake during imbibition. Therefore, the effects of various rehydration methods were also examined. Large numbers of mature embryos were required for our desiccation experiments. Therefore, a method of squashing the embryogenic tissue into a polypropylene mesh was developed. This method allowed embryogenic tissue to be easily transferred to fresh medium and produced a flat mat of mature embryos that were more accessible for harvesting. The tolerance of the embryos to desiccation, and the level of desiccation required to improve germinant quality, increased as the embryos matured. The largest improvement in germinant quality was achieved by slowly desiccating 39-d embryos at 5°C for 7 days over a 0.48 M NaCl solution with a water potential of -2 MPa and rehydrating them at 100% RH at a temperature of 5°C. This treatment produced approximately 84% normal germinants. More severe desiccation caused increasing damage. A temperature treatment of 5 and 10°C also improved germinant quality, producing 70- 80% normal germinants. The 5°C treatment can be used as a short-term storage method. Germinant quality from untreated embryos increased with maturity until the embryos became fully mature by 51 d, then quality quickly decreased. Mature 51-d embryos were stored for 8 weeks at 5°C with no loss of germinant quality. A 5°C temperature treatment for 4-8 weeks significantly improved the tolerance of 39-51 d embryos to flash desiccation (embryos were dried in a laminar flow hood and lost all free cytoplasmic water within 15 minutes). This has important applications in the development of synthetic seed. All of the 8-week cold stored 51-d embryos survived flash desiccation and 58% of them… Advisors/Committee Members: Aderkas, P. von (supervisor).

▼ My own past experiences and my doctoral work form the origin from which I have chosen to examine the relationship that exists between race-based experiences and gender identity experiences within women faculty members in higher education. Multiple studies that examine faculty members’ experiences related to race and gender-related issues were identified; however, these studies were specific to non-white women. I was unable to locate studies that are inclusive of race and gender experiences of white women, and I am interested in gaining a parallel sense of understanding of the relationship that exists between race and gender in order to draw similar patterns and trends between myself and the faculty members. This study is informed by scholarship that describes an intersectional approach. I am interested in exploring women faculty members’ perceptions of race and gender intersections and the way in which they view these intersections through their own identities as faculty members in a higher education setting. In addition, I also consider the agency of race and its role in education, white privilege, and feminism as informing factors framing this study. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used to gather data from women faculty members. On a quantitative level, a questionnaire consisting of items related to faculty’s race and gender experiences was distributed. Based on responses from the questionnaire, six faculty members were chosen, and classroom observations were conducted. Finally, qualitative methods were utilized as interviews were held with the faculty members to fully address the ways the faculty members perceive race and gender intersections. Findings revealed while experiences among the faculty members are very similar, their perceptions vary about race and gender. Conversations consisted of topics such as race discussions in the classroom, white privilege, multiple perspectives of an African American female, defining the American Dream, and juggling motherhood and academia. This study is significant because, specific to race and gender and the way in which these characteristics interconnect, it carefully considers how experiences shape individual perceptions which can broadly progress a sense of diversity, equity, and justice within the setting of higher education.

▼ We have fabricated a high brightness and color purity white light organic light emitting diode based on a multi-emission-layer. There were several methods to achieve white light OLEDs, including multi-emission- layer device, single emission layer device, and so on. We use RGB triple -emission-layer device to obtain white light, because its EL spectrum is broader than that of the dual-emission-layer device. Frequent problems that showed be faced in a multi-layer structure are the complicate device structure and the color various with different operation voltage. Our work includes five parts. First, we optimized the red light device by controlling the concentration of DCJTB with the configuration of ITO/NPB/Alq3: DCJTB/Alq3/LiF/Al. Second, we optimized the blue light device by controlling the concentration of TC-1753 based on a device structure of ITO/ NPB/ TC-1558: TC-1753/ Alq3/ LiF/ Al. Third, we fabricated green light device by using TPB3 as an emission layer with the configuration of ITO/NPB/TPB3/Alq3/LiF/Al. Then we optimized the dual-emission-layer white light OLED by adjusting the thickness of blue and red emission layers. Finally, we added a green emission layer into the dual emission layer device with the device structure of ITO(1300Å)/NPB(500Å)/ TPB3(500-2xÅ)/ TC-1558(xÅ): TC-1753(2%)/ Alq3(xÅ): DCJTB(2%)/ Alq3(350Å)/ LiF(8Å)/Al(2000Å). By controlling the thickness of each emission layer, a stable white OLED was achieved. The thickness of emission layer were TPB3(200Å)/ TC-1558(150Å):TC-1753(2%)/ Alq3(150Å):DCJTB(2%). The maximum luminance reached 48200 cd/m2 at 13.5V, the maximum current efficiency and power efficiency were 4.06 cd/A at 13V and 1.9 lm/W at 20mA/cm2, respectively. The CIE coordinate varied from (0.339, 0.317) to (0.339, 0.327) with an applied voltage from 9V to 13.5V. We have overcome the problem of instable color purity which was the critical disadvantage of multi-emission-layer white light OLEDs. Our study performed a high brightness and color purity white light device.

▼ Circadian clocks are a common biological feature that allows organisms to anticipate changes in their environments by synchronizing their biological activity to the Earth's day and night cycle. These clocks are transcriptional/translational feedback loops, where transcriptional activators act as positive elements to promote the expression of negative elements, which in turn inhibit their own formation. While significant progress has been made in elucidating the function of circadian clock proteins, relatively little is known about their interactions on the molecular level. To address this issue, I investigated the transcriptional activators White Collar (WC) I and II, which in the well characterized clock model N. crassa associate to form the White Collar Complex (WCC) and promote the expression of the negative clock element Frequency (FRQ). Also studied were the related WC homologs from Phycomyces blakesleeanus, Trichoderma atroviride, and Cryptococcus neoformans. Bioinformatic analysis of these proteins was used to design protein fragments based on variations in their domain architecture. Once generated, expression and purification conditions were optimized allowing for the generation of soluble variants, for crystallization screening and biophysical characterization using small-angle X-ray scattering. Results from these studies indicate the presence of a PAS AB repeat in both N. crassa WC I and II. Purification of the PAS domain containing proteins with and without the proteins C-terminal zinc fingers resulted in apparent dimers in size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) experiments. Copurification of WC I and II proteins resulted in the formation of a tetrameric PAS mediated complex as shown by SDS-PAGE, SEC, light-scattering and small-angle X-ray scattering, suggesting the formation of a PAS mediated WCC containing four zinc fingers, which may facilitate the binding of multiple DNA sequences in the FRQ promoter region during transcription. ii Advisors/Committee Members: Crane, Brian (chair), Ealick, Steven Edward (committee member), Cerione, Richard A (committee member).

▼ The need to identify economical applications for the co-products of algal biofuel has led to the evaluation of these co-products as feedstuffs in aquaculture feeds. However, the flocculation of algae often results in co-products with high levels of iron (Fe) and aluminum (Al). Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of high levels of dietary Fe and Al on Litopenaeus vannamei. For the first experiment, a semi-purified basal diet was evaluated using ten diets containing graded levels of either Fe or Al at 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000, or 3,000 mg/kg diet over a 30-day period. In the second experiment, 12 diets with either Fe inclusions of 1,650, 3,260, 4,910, 6,640, 8,290 or 10,044 mg/kg diet or Al inclusions of 670, 1,330, 2,000, 2,702, 3,370, or 4,050 mg/kg diet were evaluated over a 42-day period. The experiments were conducted with post-larval shrimp in 24-L aquaria using a flow-through system. Dissolved oxygen, temperature, and salinity were monitored daily. Automatic feeders distributed diet 15 times daily based on an estimated average growth curve for the duration of both experiments. Feces, molts and uneaten feed were siphoned daily. Survival was not affected in either experiment by the dietary treatments. In the first experiment, growth and biomass increased with each level of supplemental Fe and Al to the 1,000 mg/kg inclusion. At 2,000 mg/kg inclusion of either Fe or Al, growth and biomass decreased significantly. In the second experiment, growth and biomass significantly decreased with increasing inclusion of either mineral (P<0.0001). In both experiments, body tissues were analyzed to determine mineral retention. In the first experiment, tail muscle and whole-body Fe and Al tissue levels did not increase. However, hepatopancreactic levels significantly increased with increasing dietary levels of both Fe and Al. In the second experiment, retention in tail muscle and combined head and carapace tissues increased significantly with increasing dietary inclusion levels of both Fe and Al. Based on data from these experiments, relatively high levels of less than 10,000 mg/kg of Fe and Al in co-products are safe assuming a dietary inclusion level of 10% of the co-product.

▼ The dendrochronological statistic mean sensitivity quantifies the environmental stress experienced by trees; however, researchers have not applied mean sensitivity to interpretations of macroclimatic tolerance, because, in the southwestern United States, where the metric was developed, species' discontinuous distributions on mountains obscure range-wide patterns, and because topoedaphic factors disproportionately influence mean sensitivity in these semi-arid environments. In this thesis, I examine geospatial patterns of mean sensitivity in temperate, humid regions, specifically for Pinus strobus. I developed P. strobus chronologies for sites across an elevation gradient in North Carolina. Correlation analyses of topography and individual tree data reveal that no topographic factor influences mean sensitivity. Conversely, broad-scale trends are evident in a collection of range-wide chronologies; specifically, mean sensitivity is lowest in the range core and increases toward range margins. These results suggest that mean sensitivity can be interpreted to reflect macroclimatic suitability. Such interpretation facilitates the identification of populations that are poorly adapted to their climatic conditions. Further, geographically weighted regression of mean sensitivity allows one to determine the specific climatic component that precludes complacent growth at any location. By accounting for non-stationarity, geographically weighted regression could even identify ecotypic responses. Applying these methods to Pinus strobus helped to identify the species' western populations as the most sensitive, due to moisture stress. Results indicate that the high-elevation, southern populations are the least sensitive, due to abundant moisture. The geographically weighted regression only elucidated the quadratic relationship between mean sensitivity and climate, while ecotypic responses were not evident with such sparse data.; Climate-growth relationship, Dendrochronology, Eastern white pine, Geographically weighted regression, Mean Sensitivity, Pinus strobus Advisors/Committee Members: Paul Knapp (advisor).

▼ ENGLISH SUMMARY: The white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) is IUCN red listed as vulnerable, but the lack of basic biological information is arguably the biggest obstacle facing the conservation of the species. The aim of this project was to aid in the conservation of white sharks by producing various data sets that can be used in adaptive management. In doing so we estimated the South African white shark population number, their genetic connectivity along the coastline and investigate various behavioural aspects. We developed a categorization system to manage large photographic databases for individual identifications of white sharks by making use of dorsal fin images. The novel categorization system was developed by making use of 4398 photos taken over a 27 month period. A notches code method was produced and this proved to significantly reduce the search time associated to accurately identify individuals. From the photos we identified 426 individuals in the Gansbaai region of South Africa. By using a mark-recapture technique and the open population model POPAN, we estimated a range between 353 - 522 individuals (95% confidence). These data were confirmed by analyses of 14 polymorphic microsatellite markers for C. carcharias that revealed a contemporary effective population size (CNe) of 338 individuals (95% confidence, Pcrit = 0.01). Both estimates are in the same range but considerably less than a previously published estimate (e.g. N = 808 to 1008) that relyied on fin matching software (DARWIN) to automatically match the sharks’ dorsal fin. Through software validation, we provided evidence that DARWIN failed to produce accurate estimates and the discrepancy in population numbers are most likely due to the inclusion of false negatives in the published literature. To determine whether the Gansbaai population forms a unique evolutionary unit, the phylogeography of white sharks along the South African coastline was investigated by making use of mtDNA and microsatellite markers. A total of 238 unique individuals were sampled originating from five aggregation sites. Four mtDNA haplotypes were found for the entire range. One common mtDNA haplotype was shared by 89% of the individuals sampled, and a second haplotype (13 bp different) was present in 10% of the remaining sharks. No phylogeographic structure was found among aggregation sites. This finding was supported by microsatellite analyses and both data sets show a remarkably low level of genetic diversity (h = 0.02, π = 0.0027; Na = 7.6, Ho = 0.675). The genetic results suggest that the South African population is the result of a founder event or a severe bottleneck in the recent past. These data were combined with published mtDNA data at the global level and results suggest that at the continental scale three distinct mtDNA clades occur. These are confined to the Mediterranean and Indo-Pacific Oceans (Clade 1), the Atlantic and Indian Oceans (Clade 2) and a single haplotype restricted to the waters of South… Advisors/Committee Members: Matthee, Conrad A., Von der Heyden, Sophie, Stellenbosch University.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc, as the most planted wine cultivars in South Africa, are of great interest to researchers worldwide, due to its increased high wine quality. Wine quality is interlinked with wine aroma. Vine nitrogen fertilization influence the vine physiology and composition of the grapes, and enhanced aroma expression. By addressing Yeast Assimilable Nitrogen (YAN) deficiency with foliar fertilization, during the ripening season, to low nitrogen containing vines, the aroma potential of the wines can be potentially influenced. The main aim of this research study was to assess the influence of different foliar fertilization treatments on Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc vines planted in various locations in South Africa. For each season, two vineyards with a history of producing low nitrogen content grapes were used, one vineyard per cultivar. The vineyards received sulphur and nitrogen foliar treatments twice before véraison. During winemaking, the juices and wines underwent analysis for non-volatile and volatile content. The wines underwent maturation for three and nine months, and then sensorially and chemically analysed. In Chapter 2 the various wine compounds and classes of compounds present in Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc wines were analysed. The specific characteristics, aroma composition and its implications on the sensory perception of the cultivars were reviewed. The influence and contribution of different fertilization practices on the chemical compounds and resulting wine’s aromatic expression were investigated. The first part of the research study investigated the effect of foliar fertilization on the non-volatile content in the juices and wines. In Chapter 3, the nitrogen containing foliar fertilization applications increased the YAN levels. This increase is relevant not only for yeast metabolism, but also for the aromatic potential of a wine, as certain amino acids being precursors of aroma compounds. Glutathione were also influenced by the treatments for both years and both cultivars, but the trends were not as evident as with YAN. The second part of the study assessed the effect of various fertilization treatments on the volatile content of the juices and aged wines. Sensory analysis and chemical analysis were used to assess the wines after three and nine months of bottle maturation. Chapter 4 highlighted that sulphur containing foliar treatments influenced the volatile content of major volatiles and volatile thiols. The overall volatile content of the wines was very similar but identified a clear vintage and age effect during maturation. Sensory analysis classified the Chenin Blanc wine with ‘tropical’ and ‘fruity’ aromas, while Sauvignon Blanc wines had prominent ‘tropical’, ‘passion fruit’, and ‘grapefruit’ aromas. During bottle maturation, some notes and aroma characters were maintained but their frequency of citations changed. The results of this research study contributed to the knowledgebase on South African Chenin Blanc… Advisors/Committee Members: Buica, Astrid, Stellenbosch University. Faculty of AgriSciences. Dept.

▼ This research includes two parts as mentioned: (I) High efficiency red organic electroluminescent devices and (II) High efficiency white organic electroluminescent devices with broadband EL emission spectrum based on a single emitting layer. In part (I), we fabricated the high efficiency red organic electroluminescent devices incorporating 1,3,5-Tri(1-pyrenyl)benzene(TPB3) as the host material and 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-tert-butyl-6(1,1,7,7-tetramethyljulolidyl-9-enyl)-4H-pyran (DCJTB) as the dopant. The highly efficient energy transfer arose as a result of (i) perfect overlap between the PL spectrum of TPB3 and the absorption spectrum of DCJTB and (ii) the high fluorescence quantum yield of TPB3. A device having the configuration ITO(1300 Å)/ NPB(650 Å)/ TPB3: 2% DCJTB(400 Å) / Alq3(300Å) / LiF(8Å) / Al(2000 Å) exhibited a maximum luminance at 13.5V of 70600 cd/m2, ca. four times higher than that of the device using Alq3 as the host material at the same potential. The deviceâs current efficiency was 4.38 cd/A and its power efficiency was 2.12 lm/W at 20 mA/cm2;the maximum current and power efficiencies were 4.83 cd/A and 3.7 lm/W, respectively. The current and power efficiencies were greater than 4 cd/A and 1 lm/W, respectively, over the large range of potentials (3.5~13.5V) with good Commission Internationale de lâEclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.63,0.37). These results indicate that searching for a suitable host material is a promising approach toward achieving high-efficiency red OLEDs. In part (II), we fabricated high-efficiency and color-stable broadband white organic electroluminescent devices based on a single emission layer, incorporating a green light-emitting host material which has large band gap and large Stokeâs shift, doped with a red and a blue dye. TPB3 was used as the host material, and the red and blue light-emitting dyes were DCJTB and di(4-fluorophenyl)aminodi(styryl)biphenyl (DSB), respectively. A device having a simple configuration ITO(1300 Å) / NPB(650 Å) /TPB3: 10% DSB: 0.6% DCJTB(400 Å)/ Alq3(300Å) / LiF(8Å)/Al(2000 Å) exhibited a broadband white emission with a maximum luminance at 14.0 V of 81000 cd/m2, maximum current efficiency of 5.9 cd/A at 10.0 V, maximum power efficiency of 3.2 lm/W at 4.0 V. The Commission Internationale de lâEclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.34,0.38) changed slightly over the large range of potentials (4~14.5 V). The high-efficiencyãhigh-bright and color-stable may be attributed to the high electroluminescence character of the host and the dopants, relatively high energy transfer from host to red dopant, and effective carrier-direct-recombination on a blue dopant, and the confinement of charge recombination zone in a single layer.

▼ Beginning in the 1980s, large-scale commercial harvest of Tricholoma magnivelare created a need for management of forests to ensure sustainability, but little was known of the biology or ecology of this species to guide management decisions. Four of the five studies presented here explore the basic synecology of T. magnivelare with its hosts to determine the types of mycorrhizal associations formed and the range of potential hosts capable of supporting T. magnivelare. The fifth study tested an olfactory detection method, possibly simplifying large-scale surveys for T. magnivelare in the field. Tricholoma magnivelare forms ectomycorrhizae on hosts in three plant families, the Pinaceae, Fagaceae and Ericaceae, and on at least nine genera in those families. The mycorrhizae formed are consistent with types normally observed for each host, including gymnosperm and angiosperm variants of ectomycorrhizae on Pinaceae and Fagaceae, respectively, and arbutoid and monotropoid mycorrhizae on members of the Ericaceae. One host, the non-photosynthetic Allotropa virgata, forms a specific or nearly specific relationship with T. magnivelare. Ectomycorrhizae formed by T. magnivelare produce unusual defense responses on some hosts including accumulation of pigmented materials in the epidermis and cortex, followed by necrosis and sloughing of the cortex. In an experiment comparing responses of Pinus contorta seedlings to colonization by T. magnivelare and A. muscaria to test for evidence of pathogenicity, no differences were observed in biomass or root to shoot ratio, but T. magnivelare stimulated lateral root branching. Synthesis environments lacking exogenous glucose failed to support T. magnivelare ectomycorrhizae and complete development only occurred at 10 gL⁻¹ glucose. These results are consistent with other late-seral ectomycorrhizal fungi. Human olfaction used to detect T. magnivelare in soil produced a reasonably strong correlation with mushroom production in field plots (R²=0.71). In the laboratory, trained and screened volunteers correctly identified 98% of samples and false-positive error rates improved as volunteers sniffed more samples. Whether improved false-positive error rates produce a net improvement in accuracy and precision requires further testing. Olfactory detection combined with knowledge of host associations creates a unique opportunity to study the ecology of T. magnivelare at stand or landscape scales.

▼ The experiment described in this paper was designed and carried out to study the ability of five provenances of white spruce of acid soil origin and five provenances of basic soil origin grown on an did and a basic soil to utilize and respond to the five macro-nutrient elements N, P, K, Ca and Mg as determined by analysis of the plant tissue produced. The purpose was to determine if some of the variability found in the growth performance of this species may be related to differential concentrations of required nutrients in the plant tissue. The ten provenances were grown in the two soils in three split plots. Two plots were unfertilized and the third was fertilized. Nutrient content of seed and plant tissue was obtained for the five elements. Exchangeable K, Ca and Mg and available P were determined for the two soils. The concentrations of nutrients in the seed of the ten provenances are similar except for calcium which was double in the basic provenances. This appears to be luxury consumption. No relationship was apparent between the concentrations of nutrients in the seed and the produced tissue. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences in concentrations of nutrients in the tissue between the soils (P, K, Ca and Mg) and with fertilization (P and K). The interaction of tree type X soil was highly significant for K. The well known K Ca and K - Mg interactions are prominent. However, the basic provenances contain more K when grown on the basic soil than did the acid provenances. These same basic provenances contain less K on the acid soil than did the acid provenances. It appears that the basic provenance possesses an inherited ability to obtain required quantities of this element in the face of possible adverse quantities of Ca and Mg. Ca, Mg and P concentrations in the tissue appear to reflect the supply available in the soil. Growth of the ten provenances was generally poor on the basic soil. Further study with a range of soils is required to confirm if the apparent variation between acid and basic soil origin provenances was of genetic or soil origin.

▼ Small populations of animals are vulnerable to the consequences of breeding within a closed group – inbreeding depression and genetic drift lead to reductions in genetic variability, which in turn can give rise to the amplification of deleterious traits. Traditionally, managers attempt to minimise these effects by controlling the genetic structure via a manipulation of the paternal line, in the case of rhinos usually by translocation of breeding and sub-adult bulls. This strategy depends on having access to detailed pedigree data, and, in particular, some knowledge of the parentage of the offspring within the population. This information is particularly difficult to obtain in long-lived, free-ranging populations (particularly for rare and endangered species) where the identity of the father must be inferred from behavioural observations, and often the identity of the mother cannot be determined once juveniles have dispersed. In this thesis I present the results of a study to determine the parentage within a free-ranging, enclosed population of southern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum simum) located on Ongava Game Reserve (OGR) in the north of Namibia. I used genetic techniques to obtain a genotype for each animal in the population, and then used detailed reserve management records from the period 1993-2009 to constrain the statistical process of parentage assignment. Using these different methods, I was able to assign both parents for 22 of 23 offspring with 80% confidence (16 of 23 at 95% confidence, mother only in 1 of 23), making this study the first to successfully complete a comprehensive parentage analysis in a free-ranging population of southern white rhinoceros. The key to the success of this study was a combination of accurate pedigree data and a complete set of genotype data. The parentage assignments allowed me to construct a complete lineage diagram for each of the founder matrilines, and further analyse the status and reproductive success of the population. OGR’s southern white rhinoceros population is expanding at close to 14%, well over the expected maximum growth rate for rhinoceros metapopulations (9%). The mean inter-calf interval is about 2.2 years and average age at first parturition is 6 years, indicating good fecundity. Conception is strongly seasonal, occurring mainly (89%) during the rainy season. The current management practice is to replace dominant bulls after their breeding tenure, and also to remove all young bulls from the population before they reach breeding age (with the aim to restrict potential inbreeding). Only one calf of seven in the F2 generation is inbred. My analysis indicates that, at least in the 2006 cohort of eight calves, founder females bred only with the founder male, while offspring females (F1 generation) bred only with introduced males. This suggests some form of mate selection leading to inbreeding avoidance within the population. Finally, there is some evidence that certain matrilines exhibit/experience different reproductive potential (daughters in one… Advisors/Committee Members: Cameron, Elissa Z (advisor).

▼ This thesis presents Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) rates from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Cluster Supernova Survey, a program designed to efficiently detect and observe high-redshift supernovae by targeting massive galaxy clusters at redshifts 0.9 < z < 1.46. Among other uses, measurements of the rate at which SNe Ia occur can be used to help constrain the SN Ia ``progenitor scenario.'' The progenitor scenario, the process that leads to a SN~Ia, is a particularly poorly understood aspect of these events. Fortunately, the progenitor is directly linked to the delay time between star formation and supernova explosion. Supernova rates can be used to measure the distribution of these delay times and thus yield information about the elusive progenitors.Galaxy clusters, with their simpler star formation histories, offer an ideal environment for measuring the delay time distribution. In this thesis the SN Ia rate in clusters is calculated based on 8 +/- 1 cluster SNe Ia discovered in the HST Cluster Supernova Survey. This is the first cluster SN Ia rate measurement with detected z<\italic> > 0.9 SNe. The SN Ia rate is found to be 0.50^+0.23_-0.19 (stat) ^+0.10_-0.09 (sys) h₇₀² SNuB (SNuB = 10^-12 SNe L_sun,B^-1 yr^-1), or in units of stellar mass, 0.36^+0.16_-0.13 (stat) ^+0.07_-0.06 (sys) h₇₀² SNuM (SNuM = 10^-12 SNe M_sun^-1 yr^-1). This represents a factor of approximately 5 +/- 2 increase over measurements of the cluster rate at z < 0.2 and is the first significant detection of a changing cluster SN Ia rate with redshift. Parameterizing the late-time SN Ia delay time distribution with a power law in time with index s, this measurement in combination with lower-redshift cluster SN Ia rates constrains s = -1.41^+0.47_-0.40, under the approximation of a single-burst cluster formation redshift of z_f = 3. This is generally consistent with expectations for the ``double degenerate'' progenitor scenario and inconsistent with some models for the ``single degenerate'' progenitor scenario predicting a steeper delay time distribution at large delay times. To check for environmental dependence and the influence of younger stellar populations the rate is also calculated specifically in cluster red-sequence galaxies and in morphologically early-type galaxies, with results similar to the full cluster rate. Finally, the upper limit of one host-less cluster SN Ia detected in the survey implies that the fraction of stars in the intra-cluster medium is less than 0.47 (95% confidence), consistent with measurements at lower redshifts.The volumetric SN Ia rate can also be used to constrain the SN Ia delay time…

▼ White grubs (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) are the most widespread and damaging pests in turfgrass habitats of the Northeast U.S. and their management is highly dependent on chemical pesticides. Best IPM is constrained by widespread reliance on early season preventive applications of imidacloprid as well as by a lack of biologically-based control alternatives. Part of the solution would be curative alternatives that would permit sampling and better decision-making, and biobased alternatives that could supplant reliance on chemical insecticides. This project?s focus on white grub control in turfgrass thereby represents the major pest complex in one of the most extensive and rapidly expanding components of our urban and rural landscape. As managed ecosystems, extensive and diverse turfgrass habitats require decision-making strategies to maintain them for their intended uses. Better managing this vast area will have huge positive impacts, especially considering that this habitat is intimately associated with human populations and that home owners can spray lawn chemicals with little regulation or training. Synergistic combinations of selected biological and chemical control products are one approach that might yield valuable alternatives for the management of soil insect pests. Chapter 1 summarizes laboratory studies that were conducted on third instar white grubs challenged by individual control products. The objective was to measure variation in the susceptibility of four invasive species of white grubs (Amphimallon majale, Anomala orientalis, Maladera castanea and Popillia japonica) to 18 registered and experimental insecticides used as curative controls under controlled laboratory conditions. Across white grub species, the most efficacious biological and chemical insecticide alternatives were the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema scarabaei and chlorpyrifos, respectively. Biorationals were highly variable across target species. For biorational and chemical insecticides, A. majale was the least susceptible species. For biologicals, P. japonica was the least susceptible. Considering all control products, A. orientalis was the most susceptible. Chapter 2 summarizes a series of laboratory, greenhouse and field trials that were conducted on third instar white grubs challenged by combinations of control products. The objective was to screen numerous combinations of biological and sublethal doses of neonicotinoid insecticides against third instars under controlled laboratory conditions, and then to characterize those interactions as synergistic, additive or antagonistic. The most promising combinations were advanced to greenhouse pot studies and then to microplot field trials. To reveal variation across white grub species, trials were conducted on A. majale and P. japonica. Among the combinations of biological and neonicotinoids tested here, results revealed that synergistic interactions are relatively uncommon, and involved only entomopathogenic nematodes and fungi. For A. majale, the most promising synergistic…

▼ White evangelical Christianity is widely recognized as a powerful force in US culture and politics. Most observers consider white evangelicalism to be a religious phenomenon that successfully mobilized to dominate Republican and national politics in the mid-twentieth century. I argue that such a characterization is incomplete and misleading. White evangelicalism, or the white evangelical church (WEC), is better understood as a white supremacist social movement that organizes itself through religious institutions and uses Christian discourse to promote white interests. To be sure, many WEC members participate because they truly believe in the religious purpose and benefits of evangelical Christianity. However, the WEC’s demographics, doctrines, and political mobilizations are consistent with a social movement centered on whiteness more than conservative politics or Christianity. My reading of race critical theories (e.g. systemic racism theory), social movement theories (e.g. political process theory), and theories of religion (e.g. civil religion) suggests that white evangelicalism is an ideal social institution for sustaining a white supremacist social movement. Unfortunately, most scholars have not explored this possibility. Using an enhanced version of extended case method, I expose tacit white supremacy at the heart of the WEC movement by examining its internal norms and social impact. My ethnographic research in evangelical churches in the South and Midwest reveals a pattern in which white evangelicals use what I call “race tests” to limit people of color’s access and participation in evangelical churches. I also argue that WEC growth strategies, popular literature, and collective behaviors evince a preoccupation with reaching white individuals who are failing to embody 18th century white virtue. Finally, I examine sermons and Bible studies to show how whiteness shapes the theological substance of the WEC and how white evangelicals place the Bible and God Himself in the service of whiteness. I conclude that the WEC operates as a white supremacist social movement by excluding people of color, mobilizing whites, and elevating whiteness to a sacred status.

▼ White grubs, or larvae of scarab beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), are the most widely distributed and destructive turf insect pests of both warm- and cool-season turfgrasses in North America. If left uncontrolled, root-feeding larvae can cause extensive damage to a turfgrass stand, impacting the plant’s ability to absorb water and nutrients, decreasing surface stability, and in the case of sports turf, increasing the probability of footing-related injuries. While cultural and biological control methods exist, chemical insecticides are favored by most turfgrass managers due to the relative effectiveness, reliability, and ease of application. Since the mid-1990s, the neonicotinoids (particularly products containing the active ingredient imidacloprid (e.g. Merit ®)) have been the most widely used white grub control products in turfgrass. However, reports of imidacloprid failures have been steadily increasing in recent years in the northeastern United States. Currently the cause of the failures is unknown, yet the managers of the affected sites have applied imidacloprid annually for a minimum of 10 years, applied controls within consistent time periods between years, and have not used other preventive insecticides for white grub control. Experiments were conducted to evaluate two factors that may contribute to imidacloprid failure for controlling white grubs, microbial degradation and thatch barriers. Microbially-mediated degradation of imidacloprid was observed in greenhouse trials. However, the relatively small amount of degradation of the active ingredient is unlikely to explain inadequate control in the field. Spatial analyses of affected sites revealed strong associations between thatch and white grub spatial patterns at most sites. In greenhouse trials, thatch did not seem to affect imidacloprid uptake. However, significantly more accumulation is occurring early in leaf tissue than root tissue/soil. The findings from this project demonstrate that multiple factors contribute to imidacloprid field efficacy and thus the degree of white grub control achieved.
