To achieve a goal of “no net loss” of wetland functions as well as acreage, it is important to know which functions wetlands in a specific region or watershed may individually provide, at what level. Although methods exist for assessing functions of Oregon wetlands (ORWAP; Adamus et al. 2009), site...
This research considers the availability of the appropriate geospatial data in support of
vulnerability mapping of the Oregon coast. An online experiment, Voicing Climate Concerns,
was developed to give community stakeholders, researchers and other interested parties the
opportunity to voice their concerns on climate change and their perceived vulnerability to...
Between 2007 and 2009, researchers from Green Point Consulting, Oregon State University, and the South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve collected data on ecological and physical characteristics at five high-quality “least disturbed” tidal wetland sites in four Oregon estuaries.
The reference sites included in this project are (1) Blind Slough...
Isolated populations of four reindeer lichen species and varieties co-occur in a unique relict prairie habitat at Mima Mounds Natural Area Preserve, southwest Washington State, USA. The prairie is the type locality for mima mounds, unusual geologic features providing topographical variation that influences vegetation patterns. Reindeer lichens (Cladonia subgenus Cladina)...
The Marine Bioinvasion Lab is located at Oregon State University's Hatfield Marine Science Center. A major focus is identification of native, introduced and invasive species found in Oregon's estuaries. John Chapman, Ralph Breitenstein and Gayle Hansen compiled this current spreadsheet of the marine algae and invertebrates in the Yaquina and...
Video of overland dispersal and drought escape behavior in a flightless aquatic insect, the giant water bug Abedus herberti (Hemiptera: Belostomaidae). April 9, 2009 High Creek, Galiuro Mountains, Arizona (AZ) USA.
Data, pedigrees, reports and manuscripts herein are from an investigation conducted with coho salmon of the Umpqua River in southern Oregon from 2001-2009. They relate to a study investigating several areas of uncertainty about the use of salmon hatcheries to increase the abundance of wild populations. At that time, there...
We monitored a suite of stream chemistry parameters for April and May, 2013, at Oak Creek, Oregon, USA. The dataset can be downloaded at the following URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.7267/N9JW8BSJ, via the Dataset Query Tool. The dataset is hosted by The Oregon Hydrologic Information Server (OHIS), which is an on-line database repository...
The application of DNA based markers towards the task of discriminating among alternate salmon runs has evolved in accord with ongoing genomic developments and increasingly enabled resolution of which genetic markers associate with important life history differences. Accurate and efficient identification of the most likely origin for salmon encountered during...
Transcription factor (TF) genes were modified endogenously to include epitope tags for identification of TF protein binding sites by Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP), followed by high throughput sequencing. We used RNA-sequencing in carbon sources of sucrose, butyrate, and oleate in far-1, far-2, and a double far-1; far-2 mutant to find transcripts...
