The cormorant/fisherman issue is not limited to Tillamook County in 1988-1989 but is symptomatic of a widespread conflict of some fishermen with fish-eating animals. Predators, specifically cormorants, have been blamed for the "ruin" of the Tillamook fisheries, but the effects of cormorant predation have been exaggerated. Actually, current salmon and...

This is the second and concluding volume in Stern's acclaimed study of the relationships between Plateau Indians and the white fur traders, missionaries, and settlers who entered their world.
A cornerstone of any university is its library. Consequently, the construction or renovation of a library is thus a major event on any college campus. In the spring of 1996, Oregon State University began such a significant transformation. Three years and $47 million later, the old Kerr Library has become...
The goal of the Oregon Plan is to restore wild coho and wild steelhead runs. Under the federal Endangered Species Act, wild coho salmon along the Oregon Coast are listed as Threatened and wild Oregon Coast steelhead are a candidate for listing. Although cormorants have been hazed at the Nehalem...

Data acquisition is the foundation of sound decision making. Therefore, after the work of the empiricist who laid the philosophical foundation of the data driven inference (Berkeley, 2003; Hume, 1902; Locke, 1860), significant efforts were carried in developing methods aiming at acquiring representative information for describing reality. The main instrument...
