The recently emerged Grapevine Red Botch Virus (GRBV) impedes proper berry ripening primarily by reducing sugar accumulation and color development in red-fruited Vitis vinifera L. cultivars. To date, there is no recommended management strategy for virus spread or the impacts of the disease beyond removal and replacement of infected vines....
Anadromous Oncorhynchus mykiss (steelhead) express diverse migratory behaviors and life history strategies. Adult migration timing diversity within steelhead is often categorized into divergent early- and late-migration phenotypes. On the Rogue River in Oregon, adult steelhead return from the ocean during distinct early-summer, late-summer, and winter runs. Additionally, some juvenile steelhead...

Trust is a key variable for successful natural resource management and is commonly the focus of conceptual and methodological development. Distrust, on the other hand, is frequently cited as an obstacle to management, but appears to be rarely defined, conceptually underdeveloped, and inconsistently examined. This systematic review protocol (OSF preregistration...
Different educational modalities can affect students in learning challenging engineering concepts. Studies that specifically measure students’ conceptual learning gains have been conducted in face-to-face (F2F) and online modalities, but few direct comparisons have been reported. In this study, we collected data from undergraduate students enrolled in introductory materials science courses...
This edition contains research updates and a comprehensive list of publications summarizing research conducted by faculty of the Oregon Wine Research Institute at Oregon State University. Dr. Bob Martin, Research Plant Pathologist (Virology), USDA, opens the newsletter with a research update on grapevine red blotch disease that provides growers with...
The production of novel hybrid zones is an ecologically important consequence of globally increasing rates of species introductions and invasions. Interspecific hybridization can facilitate gene flow between parent species or produce novel taxa that may alter invasion dynamics or ecosystem services. The coastal sand dunes of the U.S. Pacific Northwest...

The distribution of mobile marine predators often reflects underlying dynamic ecological processes. The geographical focus of this PhD is the South Taranaki Bight (STB) of New Zealand, where wind-driven coastal upwelling generates productivity and prey to support a blue whale foraging ground. The STB is also New Zealand’s most industrial...
