Pathogens may alter their hosts, which consequently increases transmission efficiency by vectors. We examined the effects of Raspberry leaf mottle virus [RLMV; Closterovirus (Closteroviridae)] and Raspberry latent virus [RpLV; Reovirus (Reoviridae)], alone and in a co-infection in raspberry, Rubus
idaeus L. (Rosaceae) cv. Meeker, on the behavior and performance of...
Experiments were performed to determine the rate of recolonization of sediment-associated microalga and effects of infauna on microalgal biomass and production. Estuarine sediment was defaunated and transplanted to the field and the laboratory. Recolonization of sediment by flora and fauna, relative to control sediment, was measured by chlorophyll a, gross...
An important constraint on mechanisms of past
carbon cycle variability is provided by the stable isotopic
composition of carbon in atmospheric carbon dioxide (δ¹³C-CO₂) trapped in polar ice cores, but obtaining very precise
measurements has proven to be a significant analytical challenge.
Here we describe a new technique to determine...
Hyperion is a hyperspectral sensor on board NASA’s EO-1 satellite with a spatial
resolution of approximately 30 m and a swath width of about 7 km. It was originally designed
for land applications, but its unique spectral configuration (430 nm – 2400 nm with a ~10 nm
spectral resolution) and...
The purpose of this study was to examine the physical activity patterns of older
adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) in comparison with younger adults with
ID and older adults without ID. A sample of 109 participants was included in the
study. Sophisticated data reduction, time stamped technology, and multiple objective...
The California Current Ecosystem (CCE) is a dynamic marine ecosystem from which many socioeconomically important fisheries species are harvested. Here, a genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) approach was used to examine genomic variation in an early life stage (megalopae) of the Dungeness crab (Cancer magister), which constitutes the most valuable single-species commercial fishery...

Raman scattering can be a significant contributor to the emergent radiance spectrum from the surface ocean. Here, we present an analytical approach to directly estimate the Raman contribution to remote sensing reflectance, and evaluate its effects on optical properties estimated from two common semi analytical inversion models. For application of...
