Since phylloxera's discovery in a commercial vineyard in August of 1990, nine infestations have been verified in Oregon. With over 95% of Oregon's vineyards planted with ownrooted, Vitis vinifera, non-resistant vines, understanding the insect's biology under our conditions has become important for determining management strategies that minimize rate of spread....
BACKGROUND: Variation in the number of repeated traits, or serial homologs, has contributed greatly to animal body
plan diversity. Eyespot color patterns of nymphalid butterflies, like arthropod and vertebrate limbs, are an example
of serial homologs. These eyespot color patterns originated in a small number of wing sectors on the...

Macromoth diversity, abundance, and community structure in the topographically complex
HJ Andrews Experimental Forest and LTER site was studied on the west slope of the Cascade Range,
Oregon. Data on 493 macromoth species (62,221 individuals) was sampled eight times/year at 20 locations
from 2004 to 2008 and examined using multivariate...

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are used to study, in detail, the transfer of thermal (vibrational) energy between objects with discrete vibrational spectra to those with a semi-continuum of spectra. The transfer of energy is stochastic and strongly dependent on the instantaneous separation between the bodies. The insight from the MD...
