Bird conservation plan prepared by Oregon / Washington Partners in Flight containg strategies for the long-term maintenance of healthy bird populations in the Columbia Plateau of Eastern Washington and Oregon.
The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is emerging as a new important species for studying brain mechanisms and its deficits. Focusing on selected CNS disorders (brain cancer, epilepsy and anxiety) and using them as examples, we discuss the value of zebrafish models in translational neuroscience, and their contribution to neuroimaging, circuit-level and...
National-scale analyses of fire occurrence are needed to prioritize fire policy and
management activities across the United States. However, the drivers of national-scale
patterns of fire occurrence are not well understood, and how the relative importance of human
or biophysical factors varies across the country is unclear. Our research goal...

Despite low breast and cervical cancer screening levels among Hmong women in the U.S. reported in the literature, understanding of the barriers to screening for Hmong women is limited. Health literacy issues may influence screening behavior for this population. This qualitative study explored sources of information about breast and cervical...
• Premise of the study: Colonists of even the most inhospitable environments, lichens are present in all terrestrial ecosystems.
Because of their ecological versatility and ubiquity, they have been considered excellent candidates for early colonizers of terrestrial
environments. Despite such predictions, good preservation potential, and the extant diversity of lichenized...
Understanding the local context that shapes collective response to wildfire risk continues to be a challenge for scientists and policymakers. This study utilizes and expands on a conceptual approach for understanding adaptive capacity to wildfire in a comparison of 18 past case studies. The intent is to determine whether comparison...
In the late 1980s, the U.S. Pacific Northwest potato industry faced a crisis. Potato tuber quality was inadequate to meet the needs of potato processing companies due to a condition called “sugar ends” or “dark ends” in fried tuber
slices. This defect was common in tubers grown on stressed Russet...
