We examined the distribution of Umpqua Chub Oregonichthys kalawatseti, an endemic, vulnerable minnow in western Oregon, and whether six ecological populations (based on distribution patterns) had sufficient genetic cohesion to be considered evolutionary populations. We also evaluated the influence of Holocene geological events and recent nonnative predator introductions on the...
Diatom remains indicate the oceanic Ge/Si ratio (μmol/mol) has varied temporally, ranging from Miocene values of 0.9 to Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) values of 0.55, with the present value of 0.69. These ratios lie between those for the primary sources for these elements: continental weathering (Ge/Si = 0.5) and hydrothermal...

Chemical and biological sensor technologies have advanced rapidly in the past five years. Sensors that require low power and operate for multiple years are now available for oxygen, nitrate, and a variety of bio-optional properties that serve as proxies for important components of the carbon cycle (e.g., particulate organic carbon)....
