Climate and Ecological Change in Oligo-Miocene Mammals

Orcutt, John D. (University of Oregon, 2011-12)

Whether or not a causal relationship exists between climate and mammal body size is one of the longest-standing and most intractable questions in ecology. The classic model of body size evolution (Bergmann's Rule) holds ...
Functional Morphology, Variation, and Niche Separation in the Large-Bodied Fossil Colobines

Anderson, Monya (University of Oregon, 2019-09-18)

Colobines are ecological referents that can be used to assess and reconstruct paleoenvironmental conditions. Colobine taxa discussed here include Paracolobus mutiwa, P. Cercopithecoides williamsi, C. kimeui, and Rhinocolobus ...
Holocene vegetation and fire history of the floristically diverse Klamath Mountains, northern California, USA

Briles, Christy Elaine, 1976- (University of Oregon, 2008-03)

The Holocene vegetation and fire history of the Klamath Mountains (KM), northern California, was reconstructed at three sites based on an analysis of pollen and high-resolution macroscopic charcoal in lake-sediment cores. ...
Late Quaternary and Holocene Paleoecology of Interior Mesic Forests of Northern Idaho

Herring, Erin (University of Oregon, 2014-10-17)

The mesic forests distributed within the Rocky Mountains of northern Idaho are unique because many species contained within the forest are separated from their main distribution along the Pacific Northwest coast. It remains ...
Paleo-archaic broad spectrum adaptations at the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary in Far Western North America

Willig, Judith A. (Judith Ann), 1953- (University of Oregon, 1989-06)

Western Clovis and Western Stemmed cultural traditions, archaeologically indexed by fluted (Clovis) and stemmed projectile point complexes, represent the earliest human occupation documented in Far Western North America. ...
Trophic Structure Evolution in Oregon Oligo-Miocene Terrestrial Communities

Reuter, Dana (University of Oregon, 2022-02-18)

The goal of my dissertation is to expand our knowledge of how mammalian diets are affected by and affect other ecological and evolutionary processes. I did this by evaluating how diet is related to mammalian diversity, ...
