Nature for whom? How type of beneficiary influences the effectiveness of conservation outreach messages

Creator:: Batavia, Chelsea, Bruskotter, Jeremy T., Jones, Julia A., Vucetich, John A., Gosnell, Hannah, and Nelson, Michael Paul
Abstract:: In recent years the conservation community has engaged in debate over value in nonhuman nature, especially as it relates to motivations for conservation. Many have expressed the assumption that more people are willing to support conservation when emphasis is placed on the human benefits of nonhuman nature, rather than the...

Ingestion of Microplastics in the Juvenile Black Rockfish (Sebastes melanops) from Oregon Coastal Sampling Sites

Creator:: Arnold, Madison A.
Abstract:: Microplastics (<5mm) are a ubiquitous environmental pollutant that have the potential to cause significant harm in many fish species. Therefore, understanding the quantities at which they are being consumed by living organisms is crucial for characterizing risk. There are currently gaps in the microplastic literature regarding microplastic data from finfish...

Abstract:: Despite a large and multifaceted effort to understand the vast landscape of phenotypic data, their current form inhibits productive data analysis. The lack of a community-wide, consensus-based, human- and machine-interpretable language for describing phenotypes and their genomic and environmental contexts is perhaps the most pressing scientific bottleneck to integration across...

Cold Seep Epifaunal Communities on the Hikurangi Margin, New Zealand: Composition, Succession, and Vulnerability to Human Activities

Creator:: Bowden, David A., Rowden, Ashley A., Thurber, Andrew R., Baco, Amy R., Levin, Lisa A., and Smith, Craig R.
Abstract:: Cold seep communities with distinctive chemoautotrophic fauna occur where hydrocarbon-rich fluids escape from the seabed. We describe community composition, population densities, spatial extent, and within-region variability of epifaunal communities at methane-rich cold seep sites on the Hikurangi Margin, New Zealand. Using data from towed camera transects, we match observations to...

Internal photoemission spectroscopy determination of barrier heights between Ta-based amorphous metals and atomic layer deposited insulators

Creator:: Jenkins, M. A., McGlone, J. M., Wager, J. F., and Conley, J. F., Jr.
Abstract:: The energy barrier heights between two recently reported Ta-based amorphous metals (TaWSi and TaNiSi), TaN, and atomic layer deposited Al2O3 and HfO2 insulators are measured in metal/insulator/metal (MIM) structures with Au top electrodes using internal photoemission (IPE) spectroscopy. For Al2O3, the Ta-based metal barrier heights, phi(Bn), increase with increasing metal...

Autonomy-supportive parenting and associations with child and parent executive function

Creator:: Distefano, Rebecca, Galinsky, Ellen, McClelland, Megan M., Zelazo, Philip David, and Carlson, Stephanie M.
Abstract:: Autonomy-supportive parenting appears to play an important role in children's executive function (EF) development. However, few studies have accounted for parents' EF skills when examining the link between parenting and child EF in families from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. In the current study, parents and their 3- to 5-year-old children (N...
