Tonsor, Professor Emeritus, Department of Biological Sciences Dissertation Advisor: Kevin Crowley, Professor, Learning Sciences and Policy ii Copyright © by Marijke Hecht 2020 iii Abstract RELATIONAL PROCESSES BETWEEN PEOPLE AND PLACE: UNDERSTANDING ENVIRONMENTAL INTEREST AND IDENTITY THROUGH A LEARNING ECOSYSTEM LENS Marijke Hecht, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2020 Supporting the development of environmental people – 21st century naturalists – is an essential component for addressing the local and global environmental challenges we currently face. My dissertation uses the conceptual frame of learning ecosystems to examine the complex nature of environmental interest and identity development. I explore the benefits of using a learning ecosystem frame as both a theoretical and methodological construct by asking how this opens up ways of thinking about the phenomena of environmental interest and identity development which unfold in dynamic, non-linear ways across time and space. In this three-paper dissertation, I begin by reviewing the ways that the learning ecosystem framework has been applied in educational literature, coupled with a theoretical proposal for drawing lessons from adaptive biological ecosystem management to improve the use of the framework. I propose two conceptual shifts in learning ecosystem research: 1) the decentering of individuals with a turn towards relational processes as a unit of analysis, and 2) an embrace of place and materiality as a key element of the ecosystem that impacts learning. I then apply this more robust learning ecosystem framework in two empirical papers that focus on learning ecosystems in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. For both empirical papers, I use a collaborative research-practice partnership approach that aims to build trust between researchers and practitioners, uses research to inform action, supports practitioner goals, produces knowledge that informs broader educational improvement goals, and builds capacity for all participants. First, iv I examine interest development across the learning ecosystem through the analysis of 18 life- history interviews of adult naturalists. For the final paper, I use an ecosystems lens and ethnographic approaches to develop a nested case study of one informal science program with four cases that describe the relational processes between youth, educators, and nonhuman nature. In the cases, I explore how program infrastructures support the transition of environmental interest into identity for the adolescent participants. Taken together, these three papers offer a closer examination of the application of the learning ecosystem framework to help support environmental interest and identity development. v Table of

  • Insect Survey of Four Longleaf Pine Preserves
    A SURVEY OF THE MOTHS, BUTTERFLIES, AND GRASSHOPPERS OF FOUR NATURE CONSERVANCY PRESERVES IN SOUTHEASTERN NORTH CAROLINA Stephen P. Hall and Dale F. Schweitzer November 15, 1993 ABSTRACT Moths, butterflies, and grasshoppers were surveyed within four longleaf pine preserves owned by the North Carolina Nature Conservancy during the growing season of 1991 and 1992. Over 7,000 specimens (either collected or seen in the field) were identified, representing 512 different species and 28 families. Forty-one of these we consider to be distinctive of the two fire- maintained communities principally under investigation, the longleaf pine savannas and flatwoods. An additional 14 species we consider distinctive of the pocosins that occur in close association with the savannas and flatwoods. Twenty nine species appear to be rare enough to be included on the list of elements monitored by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (eight others in this category have been reported from one of these sites, the Green Swamp, but were not observed in this study). Two of the moths collected, Spartiniphaga carterae and Agrotis buchholzi, are currently candidates for federal listing as Threatened or Endangered species. Another species, Hemipachnobia s. subporphyrea, appears to be endemic to North Carolina and should also be considered for federal candidate status. With few exceptions, even the species that seem to be most closely associated with savannas and flatwoods show few direct defenses against fire, the primary force responsible for maintaining these communities. Instead, the majority of these insects probably survive within this region due to their ability to rapidly re-colonize recently burned areas from small, well-dispersed refugia.

    POPULATION GENETIC CONSEQUENCES OF FEEDING HABITS IN SOME FOREST LEPIDOPTERA CHARLES MITTER1 .~NDDOUGLAS J. FUTUYMA Department of Ecology and Evolution, State Uniuersity of New York, Stony Brook, New York 11794 Manuscript received December 27, 1977 Revised copy received December 5, 1978 ABSTRACT By surveying variation at allozyme loci in several phytophagous lepidopteran species (Geometridae), we have tested two hypotheses about the relationship of genetic variation to environmental heterogeneity: (1) that allozyme polymorphisms may exist because of associations between genotypes and “niches” (different host plants, in this instance), and (2) that the overall genetic variation of a species is correlated with environmental heterogeneity (or breadth of the species’ overall ecological niche) .-Genetic differentiation among samples of oligophagous or polyphagous species taken from different host species was observed in one of three species, at only one of seven poly- morphic loci. The data thus provide no evidence for pronounced genetic sub- structuring, or “host race” formation in these sexually reproducing species, although host plant-genotype associations in a parthenogenetic moth give evi- dence of the potential for diversifying selection.-In a comparison of allo- zyme variation in polyphagous (“generalized”) and oligophagous (“spe- cialized”) species, heterozygosity appeared to be higher in specialized species, at all polymorphic loci but one. It is possible that this unexpected result arises from a functional relation between breadth of diet and genetic variation. paper is an attempt to test the applicability to allozyme loci of two TFgotheses about the relationship of genetic variation to environmental heterogeneity. The first hypothesis is that polymorphism may exist because different indi- viduals in a population encounter or select different states of the environment.

  • Influence of Habitat and Bat Activity on Moth Community Composition and Seasonal Phenology Across Habitat Types
    INFLUENCE OF HABITAT AND BAT ACTIVITY ON MOTH COMMUNITY COMPOSITION AND SEASONAL PHENOLOGY ACROSS HABITAT TYPES BY MATTHEW SAFFORD THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Entomology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2018 Urbana, Illinois Advisor: Assistant Professor Alexandra Harmon-Threatt, Chair and Director of Research ABSTRACT Understanding the factors that influence moth diversity and abundance is important for monitoring moth biodiversity and developing conservation strategies. Studies of moth habitat use have primarily focused on access to host plants used by specific moth species. How vegetation structure influences moth communities within and between habitats and mediates the activity of insectivorous bats is understudied. Previous research into the impact of bat activity on moths has primarily focused on interactions in a single habitat type or a single moth species of interest, leaving a large knowledge gap on how habitat structure and bat activity influence the composition of moth communities across habitat types. I conducted monthly surveys at sites in two habitat types, restoration prairie and forest. Moths were collected using black light bucket traps and identified to species. Bat echolocation calls were recorded using ultrasonic detectors and classified into phonic groups to understand how moth community responds to the presence of these predators. Plant diversity and habitat structure variables, including tree diameter at breast height, ground cover, and vegetation height were measured during summer surveys to document how differences in habitat structure between and within habitats influences moth diversity. I found that moth communities vary significantly between habitat types.

  • Impacts of Native and Non-Native Plants on Urban Insect Communities: Are Native Plants Better Than Non-Natives?
    Impacts of Native and Non-native plants on Urban Insect Communities: Are Native Plants Better than Non-natives? by Carl Scott Clem A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Auburn, Alabama December 12, 2015 Key Words: native plants, non-native plants, caterpillars, natural enemies, associational interactions, congeneric plants Copyright 2015 by Carl Scott Clem Approved by David Held, Chair, Associate Professor: Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology Charles Ray, Research Fellow: Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology Debbie Folkerts, Assistant Professor: Department of Biological Sciences Robert Boyd, Professor: Department of Biological Sciences Abstract With continued suburban expansion in the southeastern United States, it is increasingly important to understand urbanization and its impacts on sustainability and natural ecosystems. Expansion of suburbia is often coupled with replacement of native plants by alien ornamental plants such as crepe myrtle, Bradford pear, and Japanese maple. Two projects were conducted for this thesis. The purpose of the first project (Chapter 2) was to conduct an analysis of existing larval Lepidoptera and Symphyta hostplant records in the southeastern United States, comparing their species richness on common native and alien woody plants. We found that, in most cases, native plants support more species of eruciform larvae compared to aliens. Alien congener plant species (those in the same genus as native species) supported more species of larvae than alien, non-congeners. Most of the larvae that feed on alien plants are generalist species. However, most of the specialist species feeding on alien plants use congeners of native plants, providing evidence of a spillover, or false spillover, effect.
