Invasive nonnative plants are a serious subject for gardeners, farmers, the general public, and land managers. Understanding invasive species and how to control them is becoming increasingly important for gardeners.
For effective species management, understanding population structure and distribution is critical. However, quantifying population structure is not always straightforward. Within the Southern Hemisphere, the blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) complex is extremely diverse but difficult to study. Using automated detector methods, we identified “acoustic populations” of whales producing region-specific call types....
The Expanded Food and Nutrition Education program (EFNEP) helps limited income
families in Oregon improve their nutrition practices. These include
learning to:
□ Stretch family food dollars
□ Choose foods for better nutrition for family members
□ Purchase food for nutritional needs
□ Improve food production, preparation, storage, safety, and...

Morphologically divergent ecotypes arise in fish populations on postglacial time scales, and resource polymorphisms
are often invoked to explain their origin. However, genetic recombination can constrain the ability of divergent selection to produce
reproductive isolation in sympatry. Recombination breaks up favorable combinations of traits (”adaptive suites”) if individual
traits are...

Project AFS 31 Final report The final report of a study to determine whether discrete races of summer steelhead races exist in the Rogue River, and if so to isolate each race in terms of life history and ecological behavior, including such points as time of entry, seasonal positioning and...
We examined recordings from a 15-month (May 2009–July 2010) continuous acoustic data set collected from a bottom-mounted passive acoustic recorder at a sample frequency of 6kHz off Portland, Victoria, Australia (38°33′01″S, 141°15′13″E) off southern Australia. Analysis revealed that calls from both subspecies were recorded at this site, and general additive...
BACKGROUND: Increasing emphasis in performance-based payment, public reporting, and quality improvement
(QI) has led to widespread interest in measuring and improving the quality of care. By 2014, hospice programs
will be required to report quality data to the federal government or incur financial penalties. With this increased
interest in quality...
