An optical method for rapid examination of check development in decorative plywood panels

Creator:: Burnard, Michael David, Muszynski, Lech, Leavengood, Scott, and Ganio, Lisa
Abstract:: Common methods for assessment of surface checking in decorative plywood panels rely on manual handling and visual inspection of specimens, a laborious procedure practically limiting the number of materials and variables that may be considered within one project. In this study, a new automated optical method for detection and measurement...

Development of Computational, Visualization, and Molecular Tools for Fungal and Oomycete Community Ecology

Creator:: Foster, Zachary Stephen Longiaru
Abstract:: Oomycetes are an important group of organisms with a variety of ecological roles similar to fungi. Although many are well-studied plant pathogens known for their devastating effects on agricultural systems, most are little-studied saprobes and parasites of plants and animals in nearly every ecosystem on earth. The advent of affordable...

The Generation of a Zebrafish Microbial Culture Collection to Facilitate Mechanistic Understanding of Host-Microbe Interactions

Creator:: VanderHoek, Zoe K.
Abstract:: A rapidly expanding body of evidence suggests that relationships exist between the microbiome and vertebrate health and disease. The zebrafish is a frequently utilized model organism to support this claim. Specifically, its gut microbiome is an advantageous resource for the study of microbiome health and diversity. While it is an...

Sensitivity of Evapotranspiration Components in Remote Sensing-Based Models

Creator:: Talsma, Carl J., Good, Stephen P., Miralles, Diego G., Fisher, Joshua B., Martens, Brecht, Jimenez, Carlos, and Purdy, Adam J.
Abstract:: Accurately estimating evapotranspiration (ET) at large spatial scales is essential to our understanding of land-atmosphere coupling and the surface balance of water and energy. Comparisons between remote sensing-based ET models are difficult due to diversity in model formulation, parametrization and data requirements. The constituent components of ET have been shown...

Wild bee diversity is enhanced by experimental removal of timber harvest residue within intensively managed conifer forest

Creator:: Rivers, James W., Mathis, Codey L., Moldenke, Andrew R., and Betts, Matthew G.
Abstract:: The use of timber harvest residue as an energy source is thought to have environmental benefits relative to food-based crops, yet the ecological impact of this practice remains largely unknown. We assessed whether the abundance and diversity of wild bees (Apoidea) were influenced by the removal of harvest residue and...

Acoustic monitoring reveals the times and tides of harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) distribution off central Oregon, U.S.A.

Creator:: Holdman, Amanda K., Haxel, Joseph H., Klinck, Holger, and Torres, Leigh G.
Abstract:: Harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) are commonly observed in Oregon's nearshore marine environment yet knowledge of their ecosystem use and behavior remains limited, generating concerns for potential impacts on this species from future coastal development. Passive acoustic monitoring was used to investigate spatial and temporal variations in the presence and foraging...

Identifying Malaria Transmission Foci for Elimination Using Human Mobility Data

Creator:: Ruktanonchai, Nick W., DeLeenheer, Patrick, Tatem, Andrew J., Alegana, Victor A., Caughlin, T. Trevor, zu Erbach-Schoenberg, Elisabeth, Lourenço, Christopher, Ruktanonchai, Corrine W., and Smith, David L.
Abstract:: Humans move frequently and tend to carry parasites among areas with endemic malaria and into areas where local transmission is unsustainable. Human-mediated parasite mobility can thus sustain parasite populations in areas where they would otherwise be absent. Data describing human mobility and malaria epidemiology can help classify landscapes into parasite...

Abstract:: Dramatic declines of the native northeast Pacific mud shrimp, Upogebia pugettensis over the last three decades have occurred in response to intense infestations by the Asian bopyrid isopod parasite, Orthione griffenis, that was introduced in the 1980s. We report herein the arrival of the Asian mud shrimp, Upogebia major, in...

River Restoration to Achieve a Stage 0 Condition: Summary of a Workshop Held November 5-6, 2020

Creator:: Behan, Jeff, Fetcho, K., Davis, R., and Gaines, L.
Abstract:: Restoration to achieve Stage 0 is a valley-scale, process-based (hydrologic, geologic and biological) approach that aims to reestablish stream depositional environments to maximize longitudinal, lateral, and vertical connectivity at base flows and facilitate development of dynamic, self-formed and self-sustaining wetland-stream complexes. The term Stage 0 originally described complex multi-channel conditions...

Abstract:: Forests play a crucial role in the global carbon (C) cycle by storing and sequestering a substantial amount of C in the terrestrial biosphere. Due to temporal dynamics in climate and vegetation activity, there are significant regional variations in carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes between the biosphere and atmosphere in forests...

Creator:: Cauldron, Nicholas C.
Abstract:: Oomycete and fungal pathogens threaten food, fiber, and forests around the world. With climate change, these pathogens are expected to emerge more frequently. Evolution can facilitate their emergence through mechanisms such as mutations that change or expand host range.
