The garibaldi, Hypsypops rubicundus, is a sexually monochromatic pomacentrid found in rocky subtidal areas of Southern and Baja California. During the spawning season, males attempt to attract females to a nest of red algae located within individually defended territories. Females were observed to enter the nests of several males before...
Few studies have evaluated non-migratory Roosevelt elk (Cervus elaphus roosevelti)
interactions and habitat use on lands undergoing extensive timber removal. We captured and
radio-tracked for 14 months representatives from 29 different bands of elk across a 37,000 ha area
of Oregon's Coast Range. We identified 6 habitat variables within individual...
The importance of hormone reservoirs in mature teleost eggs is
unknown. To elucidate the effects of hormones on embryonic development,
steelhead trout eggs, Oncorhynchus mykiss, were immersed in either cortisol,
testosterone, or thyroxine at two different stages of development. Elevated
concentrations of cortisol were detectable in the trout eggs or...

At present all vaccines for fish are primarily delivered either by injection or immersion which introduces added stress and labor. A more attractive method of vaccine delivery is oral administration using an enteric protection system, Enteric Coated Antigen Microspheres (ECAMs), which can be utilized for a variety of antigenic forms....
Three closely related isolates belonging to the A₁ serotype of infectious pancreatic
necrosis virus (IPNV) were selected for comparison, to provide insight into the nature of
variation in the virulence of IPN viruses. Brook trout fry (Salvelinus fontinalis) were
experimentally infected with the three isolates by immersion. Cumulative mortalities over...
