Surface transient storage (STS) and hyporheic transient storage (HTS) have
functional significance in stream ecology and hydrology. Both provide refugia for aquatic
communities and their longer mean residence times (compared to the main flow) increase
the potential for biogeochemical reactions that can improve water quality. As STS and
HTS have...

Rockfish of the genus Sebastes are important components of Oregon reef communities. I examined patterns of age and growth in young-of-year rockfish across two nested spatial scales – local and regional – along the Oregon coast. Using otolith microstructural examination, I examined the relative importance of local versus regional factors...
