During a 13-month period starting in October of 1976, adult
male rough-skinned newts (Taricha granulosa) were collected periodically
to study seasonal changes in reproductive status. Plasma
androgen concentration, measured by radioimmunoassay, is elevated
during autumn and spring (about 50 ng/ml). Winter and summer levels
are considerably lower (less than 10...
The study (1) describes the life cycle of P. nebulosus,
(2) examines stimuli that may cause the beetles to locate brood
material, and (3) establishes the relationship between moisture
stress in Douglas-fir and colonization by P. nebuZosus.and other
meristem insects.
(1) Development of P. nebulosus goes through the egg stage,...
Biological attributes and alteration of the habitat of Labops
hesperius Uhler were investigated on rangeland seeded to crested
wheatgrass near Vale, Oregon, and on rangeland seeded to crested
and intermediate wheatgrass near Seneca, Oregon. Nymphs and
adults were present at Vale from late March until mid-June and at
Seneca from...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships
between age, sex, eye-hand coordination, the time it takes individuals
to learn how to manipulate dental floss between all of their teeth, and
the time it takes individuals to learn how to effectively clean their
teeth with dental floss.
The...

Essential to the testing of propositions in economic theory is the estimation of the parameters involved in relationships among economic variables. Probably the most widely used method of estimation is ordinary least squares (OLS). However, severe multicollinearity or near linear
dependence of the explanatory variables can cause the OLS estimates...
Three five acre exclosures were established in 1964 to monitor
vegetational regeneration and forage productivity on a coniferous
forest site in northeastern Oregon which was clear-cut in 1963, broadcast
burned and seeded in 1964. Fence design and construction to
facilitate controlled early summer cattle grazing trials was completed
by 1965....
