Rising sea levels that increase flooding in salt marshes recovering from hydrologic impairments is reducing nesting habitat for salt marsh sparrows. Abandonment of colonial farming practices (1600s through 1900s) has resulted in large, waterlogged basins characterized by shallow depressions (pannes) dominated by short-form Spartina alterniflora and unvegetated megapools that are subsiding. A relatively new technique designed to provide regular tidal flooding and drainage to the waterlogged basins that have formed on the marsh is runnelling – creation of shallow hydrologic features on the marsh surface. Will runnels result in revegetation of pannes and pools with productive perennial grasses that are …

Time Variant Particle Swarm Optimization For Autonomous Dynamic Rescue And Recovery, Kyle Sanders
Time Variant Particle Swarm Optimization For Autonomous Dynamic Rescue And Recovery, Kyle Sanders
Master's Theses and Capstones
Rescue and recovery missions on extraterrestrial sites are an inevitable necessity, especiallywith increased extraterrestrial exploration. Robotic and crewed missions provide significant challenges due to budgetary restrictions and time constraints. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) techniques leverage shared swarm knowledge for solution convergence. However, traditional PSO exhibits performance degradation in dynamic scenarios. The author presents Time-Variant Particle Swarm Optimization (TVPSO), which weighs newer measurements higher than previously held values. This is achieved through implementation of a configurable comparison function as part of the survival of the fittest logical calculations. Three versions of this comparison function are evaluated (exponential, linear, and logistic) against …
Exploring The Dynamics Of Vibrio Parahaemolyticus Diversity In Developing Aquaculture Oyster Microbiomes, Benjamin John Wasson
Exploring The Dynamics Of Vibrio Parahaemolyticus Diversity In Developing Aquaculture Oyster Microbiomes, Benjamin John Wasson
Master's Theses and Capstones
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a genetically diverse marine bacterium and the leading cause of seafood-borne bacterial illness in the United States. While most strains are harmless, some can cause illness. As oyster aquaculture grows in the Northeast, particularly in New Hampshire’s Great Bay Estuary (GBE), understanding the dynamics of V. parahaemolyticus population diversity and persistence is critical for public health and sustainable aquaculture production. This work investigates two major research questions: whether standard bacterial enumeration methods introduce bias when evaluating diversity of V. parahaemolyticus populations, and how environmental factors influence V. parahaemolyticus acquisition and microbiome development in juvenile oysters. We first …
A Multi-Layered, Discourse-Oriented Exploration Of Learning Assistant-Student Interaction In Calculus I, Rebecca Butler
A Multi-Layered, Discourse-Oriented Exploration Of Learning Assistant-Student Interaction In Calculus I, Rebecca Butler
Doctoral Dissertations
Learning Assistants (LAs) are undergraduate near-peer tutors who aid in the instruction of collegiate courses in which they have previously been successful as students. It has been consistently shown that students in LA-supported STEM courses have more positive course outcomes than their peers without LA support. The benefits include improved retention, better scores on content assessments requiring higher-order reasoning, and a greater sense of belonging in STEM. Little is known about why students in LA-supported courses evidence this range of positive course outcomes, but it is conjectured that LAs facilitate these outcomes through their frequent and engaging interactions with students. …
A Daughter’S Inheritance: The Construction Of Motherhood Through Death, Michaela George
A Daughter’S Inheritance: The Construction Of Motherhood Through Death, Michaela George
Doctoral Dissertations
Mother-daughter relationships have been of feminist interest for decades as this relationship shifts narrative focus to underrepresented characters. In literature their relationship illustrates and complicates what it means to be ‘woman’ and provides access to educational theories, political understanding, and familial ideologies. Further, examining how these relationships shift and alter through eras of narratives offers tangible patterns for study. My dissertation examines the mother-daughter relationships in late eighteenth-century, early nineteenth-century prose by investigating how social constructions of gender are complicated, critiqued, shaped, and altered as they are passed from parent to child in deathbed scenes. I engage with medical humanities …
Assessing The Roles Of Corticosterone And Familiarity In Prosocial Helping Tasks, Taylor Anne Kimball-Sabatella
Assessing The Roles Of Corticosterone And Familiarity In Prosocial Helping Tasks, Taylor Anne Kimball-Sabatella
Doctoral Dissertations
Studies have suggested that rats may be motivated by empathy, a characteristic that has been historically viewed as uniquely human, when engaging in helping other individuals escape stressful situations. Some researchers refute this idea, suggesting rats may be motivated by social interaction or other factors. To better understand what is driving helping behavior, it is critical to investigate the effectiveness of the stressors used in previous studies, how stress levels change over time, and how the stress of the recipient is related to the actions of the helper. If restraint is causing sufficient stress to the trapped individual and a …
Consumptive And Energetic Responses Of Fishes Under Pressure Of Climate Change, Nathan Thomas Hermann
Consumptive And Energetic Responses Of Fishes Under Pressure Of Climate Change, Nathan Thomas Hermann
Doctoral Dissertations
Marine organisms are confronted with warming waters due to climate change requiring species to exhibit responses to persist. For many fish, these responses have included range shifts to cooler waters, but are species-specific which may create further disruption through trophic mismatches. To identify potential mismatches and estimate their implications for the quality of consumption within major predators, analyses of predator stomach contents were integrated with reviews of organismal energetics and physiological parameter values. The energy density of prey that is consumed dictates the consequences of consumption, so having data expands general understanding of diet. To that end, published records (n …
Dimensions Of Green Crabs, Carcinus Maenas (Linnaeus 1785), And Oysters, Crassostrea Virginica (Gmelin 1791), In Great Bay Estuary, New Hampshire, Kelsey Meyer
Doctoral Dissertations
Invasive species may alter how an ecosystem functions, such as the Great Bay Estuary (GBE) inNew Hampshire. In GBE, an invasive species of particular interest is the green cab (Carcinus maenas) because historically (and currently) there are no mitigation or eradication plans that have been implemented. It is not well-known how green crabs are interacting with oysters in GBE, whether that be wild, restored, or aquacultured. The aim of this dissertation was to document NH oyster growers’ perspectives on the issue of green crabs and oyster predation, understand their abundance, distribution and diet among natural/restored oyster areas and oyster farms …
The Last Snail In The Coffin: Climate Change Facilitates The Rise Of A Native Slipper Limpet To The Detriment Of Gulf Of Maine Ecosystems, Kaitlin Van Volkom
The Last Snail In The Coffin: Climate Change Facilitates The Rise Of A Native Slipper Limpet To The Detriment Of Gulf Of Maine Ecosystems, Kaitlin Van Volkom
Doctoral Dissertations
Climate change is thought to favor invasive species and harm native species, but the native slipper limpet, Crepidula fornicata, may prosper under climate change scenarios. C. fornicata is widely distributed along the East Coast of the United States and has been known to increase its reproductive output in response to warming water temperatures. This species is an ideal model organism for studying the impacts of climate change because this species has a large latitudinal distribution, are very common, and are present in many different ecosystems. However, little is known about C. fornicata population dynamics, trophic relationships, or population level differences …
Investigating The Role Of Soundscape Properties And Genetic Material As Sentinel Indicators Of The Acoustic Environment In Gulf Of Maine Coastal Marine Ecosystems, Grant Alexander Milne
Investigating The Role Of Soundscape Properties And Genetic Material As Sentinel Indicators Of The Acoustic Environment In Gulf Of Maine Coastal Marine Ecosystems, Grant Alexander Milne
Doctoral Dissertations
ABSTRACT By identifying soundscape properties and taxa detected with metabarcoding that accurately predict substrate composition, assumptions about propagative properties of the environment can be rapidly formed without the use of active acoustic sensing or invasive environmental sampling techniques. “Sentinel indicators,” are variables, processes, or components within ecosystems that can be measured or quantified and have sensitivity to environmental pressures. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) and metabarcoding of seawater samples (MSS) are two minimally invasive potential methods of identifying sentinel indicators of soundscape and propagation properties of marine habitats by detecting the presence of marine taxa and extracting information from soundscapes. To …
Design And Synthesis Of Single Atom Catalysts For Solar Fuel Generation, Allison Harper St. John
Design And Synthesis Of Single Atom Catalysts For Solar Fuel Generation, Allison Harper St. John
Doctoral Dissertations
Solar fuel generation from photocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction is a growing area of interest to mitigate global energy and climate crises. Graphitic carbon nitride (C3N4) is a light-absorbing semiconductor with a promising outlook for solar fuels, gaining popularity in recent years due to its low cost and appropriate band positions for many environmentally relevant reactions. The addition of atomically dispersed single atom catalysts (SACs) to semiconducting materials is a viable strategy for creating active sites to improve photocatalytic performance of the semiconductors studied. Designing C3N4 materials as a support for SACs with well-defined binding motifs and sufficiently high concentrations …
The Role Of The Gut Microbiota In Opioid Use Disorder, Izabella Jannae Sall
The Role Of The Gut Microbiota In Opioid Use Disorder, Izabella Jannae Sall
Doctoral Dissertations
Opioids are highly effective analgesics for acute and chronic pain management but carry dangerous side effects that limit their utility and increase the risk of opioid use disorder (OUD). Yet not all individuals prescribed opioids develop an OUD, presenting a conundrum: why are so some individuals develop an OUD and others do not? While genetics, social environment, and behavior contribute to risk, they fail to explain why some individuals transition from prescribed use to an OUD. My doctoral research investigates an increasingly likely culprit that is also a promising therapeutic target: the gut microbiota. The gut microbiota is essential for …
Responding To Range Expansion: Assessing Insect Communities, Tree Decline Symptoms, And Tree Mortality Risk As The Southern Pine Beetle Moves North, Caroline Rachel Kanaskie
Responding To Range Expansion: Assessing Insect Communities, Tree Decline Symptoms, And Tree Mortality Risk As The Southern Pine Beetle Moves North, Caroline Rachel Kanaskie
Doctoral Dissertations
Climate change is shifting species distributions. In New England, warmer winters allow southern species to survive further north. The northward range expansion of the tree-killing southern pine beetle is the focus of this dissertation. Outbreaks of this beetle cause both ecological and economic damage, which threaten the globally rare pine barrens ecosystem. I used an interdisciplinary approach to study this insect: 1) I synthesized literature on the beetle’s natural enemies; 2) I used a suite of chemical attractants to investigate the insect community attracted to the beetle’s pheromones and assessed the diversity and abundance of its potential predators; 3) I …

Molecular Simulation Studies Of Peptide Transport Across The Mitochondrial Membrane, Son Nguyen
Doctoral Dissertations
Molecular transport across membranes is an important biophysical process. Designing molecules capable of crossing cell membranes and targeting specific organelle is becoming necessary in treating many diseases and disorders. In recent decades, cell-penetrating peptides have been studied and utilized to deliver a variety of cargoes. My dissertation work focuses on studying the molecular details of the peptide translocation process across a cell membrane. Specifically, I investigated the dynamics of mitochondrial-targeting peptides and their mechanisms of translocation across the mitomembrane. I conducted molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of model mitochondrial-targeting peptides with distinct physical and chemical properties such as sequence lengths, functional …
Evaluation Of The Role Of Bet Inhibitors On The Bone Marrow Microenvironment, Victoria Aumann Dos Reis
Evaluation Of The Role Of Bet Inhibitors On The Bone Marrow Microenvironment, Victoria Aumann Dos Reis
Master's Theses and Capstones
Waldenström Macroglobulinemia (WM) is an incurable subtype of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma characterized by high levels of circulating serum IgM and bone marrow infiltration by malignant cells. As in other hematological malignancies, the tumor microenvironment (TME) is crucial for tumorigenesis and survival of WM cells. The TME is composed by non-cancer cells, including stromal and endothelial cells, immune cells, and adipocytes, metabolites, lymphatic and blood vessels, extracellular matrix, and signaling components, such as chemokines, cytokines and growth factors. Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) are essential for hematopoiesis, since they secrete stromal factors and cytokines, including Interleukin (IL)-6. IL-6 modulates the secretion of …
Eastern Oyster Behavioral And Morphological Response To External Stimuli, Michaela Edwards
Eastern Oyster Behavioral And Morphological Response To External Stimuli, Michaela Edwards
Master's Theses and Capstones
Oysters are known to provide ecosystem services such as improving water quality, and providing habitats to other organisms, in addition to their role as economically important organisms. Many of these services are tied to the gaping behavior oysters exhibit, opening their shells to filter water and grow. Oysters are known to be impacted by many biological and abiotic factors, including predators, biofouling, and handing stressors. Past work has investigated oyster mortality and growth relating to predation and implementation of different cage and bag cleaning frequencies on farms. However, there is limited research regarding how oyster gaping behavior changes in relation …
Adélie Penguin Vocalizations Reflect Breeding Phenology, Danielle Therese Fradet
Adélie Penguin Vocalizations Reflect Breeding Phenology, Danielle Therese Fradet
Master's Theses and Capstones
Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) are bellwethers for Antarctic climate change because their breeding phenology is closely linked to sea-ice extent. Researchers need long-term, large-scale phenology data to make informed Antarctic climate and conservation insights. However, traditional breeding phenology data collection is resource intensive, limiting research to small colonies located near research stations. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is a low-disturbance, easily scalable method which facilitates large-scale data collection and has been successfully applied at multiple seabird colonies to collect breeding phenology data. In this thesis, I provide a framework to implement a custom BirdNET wind detector to identify wind distorted recordings, …
Good Vibrations: Low-Frequency Anthropogenic Sound And Blue Mussel Recruitment, Kyrie Elise Newby
Good Vibrations: Low-Frequency Anthropogenic Sound And Blue Mussel Recruitment, Kyrie Elise Newby
Master's Theses and Capstones
Anthropogenic noise pollution is increasing in the world’s oceans, particularly along urbanized coastlines and global shipping routes. Many human activities, such as vessel traffic, pile driving, drilling, and other construction projects, produce loud low-frequency noise (Duarte et al. 2021). Marine invertebrates, including the blue mussel Mytilus edulis, sense sound through particle motion and may use acoustic signals as informational cues. While excessive noise has been shown to have negative physiological effects on adult and larval shellfish, Mytilidae larvae have also demonstrated a positive settlement response to some types of low-frequency anthropogenic noise (Solé et al. 2023). During the summer of …
Effects Of Winter Severity On Regional Variability In The Timing Of Tree Green-Up Across Eastern North America, Dylan Joseph Smith
Effects Of Winter Severity On Regional Variability In The Timing Of Tree Green-Up Across Eastern North America, Dylan Joseph Smith
Master's Theses and Capstones
Climate change is altering the depth and duration of winter across eastern North America, with implications for ecological processes dependent on the coldness and seasonality provided by it. Tree green-up is a critical ecosystem transition point being affected by changing climatic conditions. This study investigates how winter season severity- the cumulative depth and duration of the winter season- affects the timing of spring green-up across a dynamically changing region. Using site-level linear trend analysis, meta-analysis, and mixed-effects linear regression, I assessed spatio-temporal changes in winter severity and green-up timing, employing a precipitation-based winter season severity index and PhenoCam remote sensing …
