Understanding how intra-specific differences in plant traits mediate vulnerability to herbivores of relevant habitat-forming plants is vital to attain a better knowledge on the drivers of the structure and functioning of ecosystems. Such studies, however, are rare in seagrass-mesograzer systems despite the increasingly recognized relevance of mesograzers as seagrass consumers....

The Oregon Wave Energy Trust (OWET) commissioned this study to develop protocols and
methods to achieve affordable, reliable, and repeatable electromagnetic (EM) measurements in
the near-shore environment. The study was conducted in several stages, with a number of
technical reports provided at each stage to document and describe findings. The...

This issue of the bulletin covers salmon landings, spawning of dover sole, movements of petrale sole, the pink shrimp fishery, and availability of small salmon off the Columbia River.
The 1970 report considers catch/effort, statuses of major fisheries, and cumulative fish tagging data. Other topics included a groundfish bibliography, international fishery problems, and the sablefish fishery. The report includes a synopsis of otter trawl regulations and their rationale as of July 1, 1970.
Clatsop Beaches, characterized by flat beach-face slope (1:70) and small sandsize (0.2 mm.), have supported commercial and recreational fisheries for the razor clam (Siliqua patula) for many years. Tracing the linear growth of two year classes through more than one year following set led to a validation of the ring...
Physical exchange between estuarine and continental shelf waters impacts flushing dynamics of the estuary and determines rates of ocean inputs of nutrients and plankton. To investigate the occurrence and propagation of shelf water intrusions into the Narragansett Bay estuary, we collected velocity data near the estuarine–shelf interface during three summer...
Similarly structured food web models of four coastal ecosystems (Northern California Current, Central Gulf of Alaska, Georges Bank, southwestern Antarctic Peninsula) were used to investigate competition among whales, fishes, pinnipeds, and humans. Two analysis strategies simulated the effects of historic baleen and odontocete whale abundances across all trophic levels: food...
This bibliography contains over 1,000 references on health issues in Borneo, organized under 18 topical headings. These reports relate to the past and present health of all the large ethnic groups on the island but few of the smaller ones, since they have received less attention. The bibliography contains textual...

Contamination of resident aquatic organisms is a major concern for environmental risk assessors. However, collecting organisms to estimate risk is often prohibitively time and resource-intensive. Passive sampling accurately estimates resident organism contamination, and it saves time and resources. This study used low density polyethylene (LDPE) passive water samplers to predict...
