Biotic barriers to colonizing new hosts by the cinnabar moth Tyria jacobaeae (L.)(Lepidoptera: Arctiidae)

Creator:: Karacetin, Evrim
Abstract:: The cinnabar moth (Tyria jacobaeae (L.), Lepidoptera: Arctiidae) is an icon in population ecology and biological control that has recently lost its shine based on evidence that (1) it is less effective than alternatives (such as the ragwort flea beetle Longitarsus jacobaeae (Waterhouse) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) for controlling ragwort Senecio jacobaea...

Primocane-fruiting blackberries : the effect of summer-pruning, tipping, and chilling on primocane morphology, fruiting season, and yield

Creator:: Thompson, Ellen
Abstract:: The effect of primocane management on flowering and fruiting patterns was studied in primocane-fruiting blackberry (Rubus subgenus Rubus, Watson) cultivars 'Prime-Jan'® and 'Prime-Jim'® over two years. Primocanes that were "soft-tipped" (upper 2-5 cm removed) at 1.0 m were compared to un-tipped canes. In both years, soft-tipped primocanes developed 2-3 fold...

Geochemical observations on Hydrate Ridge, Cascadia Margin during R/V BROWN-ROPOS cruise : August 1998

Creator:: Torres, Marta E., Brown, Kevin, Collier, Robert W., deAngelis, Marie, Hammond, Douglas, McManus, James, Rehder, Gregor, and Trehu, Anne
Abstract:: A massive release of methane on the Cascadia Hydrate Ridge was documented during a ROPOS program in August 1998, consistent with previously reported observations in 1996. An extensive survey of the seafloor revealed that the seeps lie within a narrow band trending 109 degrees. This feature parallels larger mounds imaged...

Variation and heritability of vegetative, reproductive and fruit chemistrytraits in black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis L.)

Creator:: Dossett, Michael
Abstract:: In recent years, there has been renewed interest in black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis L.) breeding. This has been spurred by an increase in black raspberry consumption due to studies that have shown them to be particularly high in anthocyanin content indicating high levels of antioxidants. Present cultivars are ill adapted...

DNA markers linked to novel sources of resistance to eastern filbert blight in European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.)

Creator:: Sathuvalli, Vidyasagar R.
Abstract:: The hundred-year history of the hazelnut industry in the Pacific Northwest is threatened by eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by the fungus Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) has been extensively used for ‘Gasaway’ resistance in the hazelnut breeding program at Oregon State University. Concern over breakdown of...

Life histories of juvenile chinook salmon in the Columbia River estuary : 1916 to the present

Creator:: Burke, Jennifer L.
Abstract:: Pacific Coast estuaries provide important rearing habitats leading to improved growth and survival for juvenile chinook salmon. However, research has suggested that juvenile salmon have little use for estuarine habitats in the Columbia River. To further understand salmonid recovery needs in estuaries, I compared historical and contemporary life history patterns...

Contribution of cold seep barite to the barium geochemical budget of a marginal basin

Creator:: McQuay, Erica L.
Abstract:: Large barite (BaSO4) structures mark cold seeps in the southern San Clemente Basin. Barium flux to San Clemente sediments is two to three times greater than fluxes measured in surrounding California Borderland basins. Analyses of sediment trap material, water column samples, sediments and pore water indicate that expected bariumbearing mineral...
