An Observational Study Of Ticks On The 30 Acre Lake Trail At Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge, Robert E. Shadix Jr. Jan 2017

An Observational Study Of Ticks On The 30 Acre Lake Trail At Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge, Robert E. Shadix Jr.

EWU Masters Thesis Collection

Ticks are known carriers of bacterial pathogens that cause diseases in humans and other mammals. Hosts (mice, chipmunks, rabbits, deer, and elk) must be in the tick’s questing range to fulfill the life cycle. The questing range depends on the life stage of the tick, vegetation, and host accessibility. Mammal densities directly affect the number of questing ticks observed in the environment. The 30 Acre Lake Trail site was selected for this study due to the high density of Dermacentor species ticks observed in past studies and the only known site of Rickettsia rickettsii pathogen isolated from ticks on the …


A Macroinvertebrate Bioassessment Of Two Streams On Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge (Tnwr), Sultan Mohammad Areshi Jan 2017

A Macroinvertebrate Bioassessment Of Two Streams On Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge (Tnwr), Sultan Mohammad Areshi

EWU Masters Thesis Collection

This project focused on highly impacted streams at Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge, Cheney, WA to evaluate the health status and ecosystem integrity of the water bodies. Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge contains over 3,000 acres of wetlands, and provides high quality habitat for migrating and breeding waterfowl. However, these wetlands are impacted by both high nutrient levels (Davidson and Rule 2006) and invasive fish (Scholz et al. 2003). This project focused on stream sections of the Company Ditch (CD) and Pine Draw (PD) watersheds. Company Ditch historically had very high nutrient levels and low water quality. Water quality may be improving …


Acoustic Tracking Of Redband Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus Myskiss Gairdneri) In Lake Roosevelt (2015-2016), Evaluation Of An Acoustic Receiver Array, And Low-Voltage Electroanesthesia For Tag Implantation., Bryan T. Witte Jan 2017

Acoustic Tracking Of Redband Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus Myskiss Gairdneri) In Lake Roosevelt (2015-2016), Evaluation Of An Acoustic Receiver Array, And Low-Voltage Electroanesthesia For Tag Implantation., Bryan T. Witte

EWU Masters Thesis Collection

Chapter 1. Telemetry methods are able to acquire knowledge of fish movements which are used for a variety of management decisions. Implanting tags for telemetry requires minor surgery and anesthesia. Anesthesia for tag implantation is typically achieved with chemicals. However, chemicals are inherently variable and have restrictions on their use. This has led to the use of alternative methods for achieving anesthesia such as low voltage electroanesthesia (LVEA). LVEA subjects fish to a continuous non-pulsed direct current to achieve anesthesia appropriate for tag implantation. Unlike chemicals fish are quickly anesthetized and recover from anesthesia instantaneously. My objectives were to subject …


Impact Of Prophylactic Intranasal Oxytocin Administration On Symptoms Of Post-Traumatic Stress, Morgan A. Thomas Jan 2017

Impact Of Prophylactic Intranasal Oxytocin Administration On Symptoms Of Post-Traumatic Stress, Morgan A. Thomas

EWU Masters Thesis Collection

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that affects people after instances of severe emotional trauma. Research suggests that oxytocin treatment decreases PTSD symptoms. This study served to evaluate the efficacy of intranasal oxytocin pre-treatment on symptoms related to PTSD. The hypotheses are that oxytocin will decrease fear and anxiety, and increase reward-seeking behaviors. Sprague Dawley rats were assigned to three groups (Control, Stress, Oxytocin, and Oxytocin+Stress; n=6 per group) to conduct this experiment. Prior to foot shock treatment, rats were trained to expect a food reward (Kellogg’s Froot Loops) in an open field enclosure. Subsequently, the Oxytocin …


Invasion Routes And Evolution Of Brook Stickleback (Culaea Inconstans) In Eastern Washington, Samuel Gunselman Jan 2017

Invasion Routes And Evolution Of Brook Stickleback (Culaea Inconstans) In Eastern Washington, Samuel Gunselman

EWU Masters Thesis Collection

Chapter 1. Invasive species pose a serious threat to native ecosystems. In eastern Washington brook stickleback (Culaea inconstans) is an important invasive species, especially at Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge, where they compete with waterfowl for food resources and are associated with declines in habitat quality. Understanding the invasion routes of this invasive species may help managers implement strategies to prevent further spread and mitigate damages caused by these fish. The objectives of this study were to identify the most likely point of brook stickleback invasion, to determine their most likely invasion routes, and to investigate landscape features and processes that …


The Acute Effect Vibrating Foam Rollers Have On The Lower Extremities' Ability To Produce Power, Jared L. Klingenberg Jan 2017

The Acute Effect Vibrating Foam Rollers Have On The Lower Extremities' Ability To Produce Power, Jared L. Klingenberg

EWU Masters Thesis Collection

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect that vibration through self-myofascial release in combination with a dynamic stretch routine had on maximum power output. Twenty-one collegiate volleyball athletes agreed to participate in the study. The design was a randomized cross-over design in which all participants served as their own control by participating in all three interventions, which consisted of; a) dynamic stretch routine (DS), b) non-vibrating foam rolling combined with dynamic stretch routine (NVFR), and c) vibrating foam rolling combined with dynamic stretch routine (VFR). The foam rolling protocol consisted of rolling each limb bilaterally for 30 …


Interactions Between Lake Trout And Bull Trout In The Priest Lake System, Idaho, Derek C. Entz Jan 2017

Interactions Between Lake Trout And Bull Trout In The Priest Lake System, Idaho, Derek C. Entz

EWU Masters Thesis Collection

Seasonal and directional movements, and distributions of Bull Trout and Lake Trout between Priest Lake and Upper Priest Lake, Idaho, were studied from May 2015 to April 2017. Lake Trout (n=220) and Bull Trout (n=40) movements were monitored using Lotek JSATS transmitters and hydrophones both passively, using gate formations at either end of the Thorofare, and actively in both lakes. No significant difference was found between directional or seasonal movements of either species (P>0.05) and all movements were observed when water surface temperatures were below 15oC. Poisson regression analysis indicated that there were significantly more detections by the Upper …


Can Amphipods Be Used To Monitor Mining-Impacted Lakes?, Chantilly S. Higbee Jan 2017

Can Amphipods Be Used To Monitor Mining-Impacted Lakes?, Chantilly S. Higbee

EWU Masters Thesis Collection

Metal pollution in aquatic systems is complicated and expensive to manage; establishing a sentinel species for contaminated habitats, rather than measuring abiotic parameters, can provide a more complete perspective of the impacts of pollutants. I conducted a dual field/laboratory study to determine whether an amphipod (Hyalella azteca) can serve as a sentinel in a mining-impacted area in Northern Idaho, the Coeur d’Alene (CDA) River Basin. My objectives in the field study were to (1) determine seasonal abundance and metal burden of amphipods in nine chain lakes and a reference lake (Benewah L.) and (2) compare aqueous trace metal levels and …
