Geographic dataset depicting public land (BLM, Forest Service, etc.) within Wallowa County, Oregon. This product is for informational purposes and may not have been prepared for, or be suitable for legal, engineering, or surveying purposes. Users of this information should review or consult the primary data and information sources to...
This dataset was digitized from a list of waterways identified by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department as "state scenic waterways" in accordance with the Scenic Waterways Act.
Depiction of Oregon State parks in Wallowa County.
This product is for informational purposes and may not have been prepared for, or be suitable for legal, engineering, or surveying purposes. Users of this information should review or consult the primary data and information sources to verify the purpose and limitations....
Google Earth has given internet users the power of a virtual globe at their fingertips. It is
a free, easy to use tool that avoids the need for technical training, and uses a simple,
intuitive interface. For this reason, Google Earth appeals to general and more specialized
users. This project...
To achieve a goal of “no net loss” of wetland functions as well as acreage, it is important to know which functions wetlands in a specific region or watershed may individually provide, at what level. Although methods exist for assessing functions of Oregon wetlands (ORWAP; Adamus et al. 2009), site...
This research considers the availability of the appropriate geospatial data in support of
vulnerability mapping of the Oregon coast. An online experiment, Voicing Climate Concerns,
was developed to give community stakeholders, researchers and other interested parties the
opportunity to voice their concerns on climate change and their perceived vulnerability to...
Between 2007 and 2009, researchers from Green Point Consulting, Oregon State University, and the South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve collected data on ecological and physical characteristics at five high-quality “least disturbed” tidal wetland sites in four Oregon estuaries.
The reference sites included in this project are (1) Blind Slough...
Isolated populations of four reindeer lichen species and varieties co-occur in a unique relict prairie habitat at Mima Mounds Natural Area Preserve, southwest Washington State, USA. The prairie is the type locality for mima mounds, unusual geologic features providing topographical variation that influences vegetation patterns. Reindeer lichens (Cladonia subgenus Cladina)...
The Marine Bioinvasion Lab is located at Oregon State University's Hatfield Marine Science Center. A major focus is identification of native, introduced and invasive species found in Oregon's estuaries. John Chapman, Ralph Breitenstein and Gayle Hansen compiled this current spreadsheet of the marine algae and invertebrates in the Yaquina and...
Video of overland dispersal and drought escape behavior in a flightless aquatic insect, the giant water bug Abedus herberti (Hemiptera: Belostomaidae). April 9, 2009 High Creek, Galiuro Mountains, Arizona (AZ) USA.
Data, pedigrees, reports and manuscripts herein are from an investigation conducted with coho salmon of the Umpqua River in southern Oregon from 2001-2009. They relate to a study investigating several areas of uncertainty about the use of salmon hatcheries to increase the abundance of wild populations. At that time, there...
The application of DNA based markers towards the task of discriminating among alternate salmon runs has evolved in accord with ongoing genomic developments and increasingly enabled resolution of which genetic markers associate with important life history differences. Accurate and efficient identification of the most likely origin for salmon encountered during...
Transcription factor (TF) genes were modified endogenously to include epitope tags for identification of TF protein binding sites by Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP), followed by high throughput sequencing. We used RNA-sequencing in carbon sources of sucrose, butyrate, and oleate in far-1, far-2, and a double far-1; far-2 mutant to find transcripts...
Background: Triticum monococcum (2n) is a close ancestor of T. urartu, the A-genome progenitor of cultivated hexaploid wheat, and is therefore a useful model for the study of components regulating photomorphogenesis in diploid wheat. In order to develop genetic and genomic resources for such a study, we constructed genome-wide transcriptomes...
We re-sequenced the Pseudoperonospora cubensis transcriptome to provide the first extensive transcriptome-wide survey of alternative splicing in an obligate biotrophic pathogen during host infection. The libraries from biological replicates of cucumber leaves infected with Ps. cubensis for 2, 3, 4, and 8 days post inoculation (dpi) were re-sequenced using 100-mer...
We report the sequence and characterization of the genomes of 21 isolates of Rhodococcus. Next generation sequencing technology was used to generate genome sequences. The reads for each genome were de novo assembled. The contigs were re-ordered, using the genome sequence of A44a as a reference. The program, Prokka, was...
We monitored a suite of stream chemistry parameters for April and May, 2013, at Oak Creek, Oregon, USA. The dataset can be downloaded at the following URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.7267/N9JW8BSJ, via the Dataset Query Tool. The dataset is hosted by The Oregon Hydrologic Information Server (OHIS), which is an on-line database repository...
Long-distance exchange has long been recognized as a critical factor in the history of the ancient Near East, yet few studies have utilized robust analytical methods to trace the production and movement of specific goods at the interregional scale. Mundane goods such as pottery are particularly under-studied, and owing to...
The data represent 48-state USA weather and climate data (both site and gridded), biological phenology (developmental) models, combined with photoperiod response (diapause inducing sensitivity to short daylengths). The example data sets are specific to a single insect biological control organism (a leaf beetle introduced to control purple loosestrife, an invasive...
36 strains of Burkholderia spp. isolated from sugarcane were evaluated for biological control of leaf and pseudobulb necrosis of orchid caused by B. gladioli. 29 of the sugarcane strains suppressed the disease in greenhouse assays. We generated a draft genomic sequence of one suppressive strain, B. seminalis TC3.4.2R3. The genome...
Here, we describe and demonstrate a geographic information systems-based lithic morphometric research (GLiMR) software approach. GLiMR accurately and rapidly handles a sequence of ArcGIS procedures to extract geometric morphometric data from 2D and 3D scan files of lithic artifacts. GLiMR generates three main types of geometric properties: shape data, topographic...
This dataset includes comma-separated text files with tabular data from survey responses and the R code used to visualize them. The following abstract describes the research study. See the README file for a more thorough description of the data. Purpose: The purpose of this case study is to demonstrate how...
We computed band gaps of amorphous oxides within the In-Ga-Zn triad. These included ZnO, Ga2O3, In2O3, Ga2ZnO4, Ga2Zn8O11, In2ZnO4, InGaZnO4, and InGaO3. Comparing the computed band gap to experimental measurements, the results were promising with a mean unsigned error of 0.28 eV and an unsigned standard deviation of 0.28 eV....
