Heterospecific competition for carrion may influence community structure as dominant species are predicted to exploit subordinate, social species to find food. We used camera traps and ungulate carcasses to assess scavenger interactions in central Oregon. Preliminary analyses indicate that raptor arrival at carcasses correlated with arrival of ravens (Corvus corax)...

Low-skilled and historically marginalized migrants are often seen as a drain on society and resources, leading policy makers to enact strict border measures and integration policies that are often harmful. Given the current climate of anti-immigrant sentiment and the rise of the far right in both the United States and...
As a prelude to tagging studies on pink shrimp (Pandalus jordani) or other laboratory studies, basic information was needed to establish criteria necessary to hold shrimp in aquariums with minimum mortality. A one-year study was conducted at the Fish Commission Laboratory in Newport to obtain data on these requirements. The...
The bioavailability of chemical compounds in the marine environment fundamentally influences the growth and physiology of microorganisms. Organic and inorganic chemicals that are produced by some marine plankton can be consumed by other plankton for energy production, growth, or to initiate essential physiological processes. Cultures of the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana,...
This paper describes an investigation of a matrix algebraic method to determine isomorphism in pairs of undirected graphs. The method is described in some detail. The theoretical as well as the practical difficulties are given. It is shown that the method works for some cases. When the adjacency matrix of...
Primary cultures of stromal-vascular (S-V) cells from adipose tissue were
used to investigate the regulation of preadipocyte development. Differentiation of
S-V cells was found to be under hormonal control. Insulin and glucocorticoids are
essential for S-V cell differentiation in culture.
S-V cells from both newborn and mature pig adipose tissue...
