Although Oregon is the #2 snap bean producer in the US, yield of snap beans per acre is greater in Oregon than any other state (USDA NASS 2012). Despite the scale and importance of snap bean production in Oregon, almost no research has been done on phosphorus (P) utilization over...
The structural architecture present in marine toxin azaspiracid - 20 stereocenters, 9 rings, 3 separated spirocenters - has attracted considerable synthetic attention. Our efforts toward the synthesis of azaspiracid have led to the completion of both C₁-C₂₆ northern and C₂₇-C₄₀ southern halves. Herein, the
synthesis of southern FGHI ring system...
Background: Improved maps of species distributions are important for effective management of wildlife under increasing anthropogenic pressures. Recent advances in lidar and radar remote sensing have shown considerable potential for mapping forest structure and habitat characteristics across landscapes. However, their relative efficacies and integrated use in habitat mapping remain largely...

Background: Supernumerary chromosomes have been found in many organisms. In fungi, these “accessory” or “dispensable” chromosomes are present at different frequencies in populations and are usually characterized by higher repetitive DNA content and lower gene density when compared to the core chromosomes. In the reference strain of the wheat pathogen,...
Forage production is of primary importance to Oregon’s livestock enterprises and agricultural economy. The forage is either grazed or conserved.
Conserved forage is needed to feed livestock in times of little forage growth—a key cost of livestock production. Extending the grazing season reduces the cost and time involved in feeding...
Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, is a devastating invasive pest of small and stone fruits in the Americas and Europe. To better understand the population dynamics of D. suzukii, we reviewed recent work on juvenile development, adult reproduction, and seasonal variation in life history parameters including the abiotic/biotic factors that...

Ecohydrological connectivity is a system level property that results from the linkages in the networks of water transport through ecosystems, by which feedbacks and other emergent system behaviours may be generated. We created a system dynamics model that represents primary ecohydrological networks to examine how connectivity between ecosystem components impacts...
