Temperate nearshore reefs along the Pacific coast of North America are highly valuable to commercial and recreational fisheries yet comprise a small fraction of the seabed. Monitoring fisheries resources in this region is difficult; high-relief structural complexity and adverse sea conditions have led to a paucity of information on temperate...
We evaluated how the use of bait as a fish attractant influenced the species and size composition 20 of demersal fishes viewed with a stereo video lander, at 160 sampling sites at Stonewall Bank, a 21 deepwater rocky reef complex in Oregon waters. We also studied the effectiveness of stereo...
Aseries of dams on the Deschutes River, Oregon, act as migration barriers that segregate the river system into upper
and lower basins. Proposed fish passage between basins would reunite populations of native potamodromous fish and
allow anadromous fish of Deschutes River origin access to the upper basin. We assessed the...
The myxozoan parasite Ceratonova shasta threatens both juvenile and adult salmonid populations in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, causing intestine necrosis and hemorrhaging, along with high mortality in some fish strains. It induces an inflammatory tissue response in susceptible strains of fish; understanding the interactions between C....
Known events occur in life that are associated with steep drop-offs in physical activity behavior. One such event is the transitional period between late adolescence and early adulthood, particularly the completion of high school and start of college or university. The reduction associated with this transition has been reported to...
Abstract from the 2019 Oregon Academy of Science (OAS) conference held on February 23, 2019 at Linfield College, McMinville, OR. The abstract documents the process by which "Kinesiology" became a visible discipline on the OAS program for the first time in 2019. Preserving this historical moment may be important for...
A new weevil species – Baris grossacavis Poinar
and Legalov, sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) – is described
from Dominican amber. The new species is close to
Baris rubripes Casey, 1892, but differs by possessing large
punctures over much of its body, including the pronotum;
elytral intervals with rows of narrow...
With the growing popularity of kinesiology at the undergraduate level, one would expect the field to be influential. Kinesiology, however, appears to be in a paradox. The undergraduate popularity is not reflected in the rest of academia, or even the general public, many of whom feel kinesiology is not a...
