Partial migration is a common migratory behavior where some individuals in a population migrate and others do not. Patterns of partial migration can vary dramatically, especially for species that inhabit a wide range of environments. I described and predicted spatial variation in marine migration (anadromy) of female Oncorhynchus mykiss (steelhead...
Although public sector unionism dates back at least
to 1916, collective bargaining emerged mid-century when
President John Kennedy signed into law Executive Order
10988 which established federal policy recognizing unions
for federal employees. Today all levels of public education
have unions. In today's community college, the curriculum,
the professional background...
Vegetation as a soil-forming factor was studied under forest
transition and grass while attempting to keep other soil forming factors
constant in the western part of the Willamette Valley, Oregon. The
physiographic units consist chiefly of the interior foothills and slopes
formed from an old basaltic flow with some interspersed...
Diclofop (2- [4 -(2, 4-dichlorophenoxy)phenoxy] propanoic
acid), formulated as the methyl ester, selectively kills
barnyardgrass [Echinochloa crus -galli (L.) Beauv.] in several
crops when applied postemergence. Studies were conducted
to determine the effect of soil moisture, barnyardgrass age, and site of exposure on control of barnyardgrass with diclofop. Soil moisture...
Studies were conducted from 1962 to 1966 to investigate the
effectiveness of several practices in manipulating medusahead
(Taeniatherum asperum (Sim. ) Nevski) infested and/or dominated
ecosystems by releasing competition in favor of perennial grasses.
Several herbicide treatments were evaluated for selective
control of medusahead and cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L. )...
Native plants provide many ecosystem services while also having great beauty and are a valuable component of the landscape. As use of these plants in habitat restoration, agricultural insectary plantings, and home landscapes increases so does demand for information on the basic biology of a group of species that have...
Intercollegiate wrestling at Oregon State University had its
inception on March 20, 1909. On that day, the Oregon Agricultural
College wrestling team wrestled in a home meet against the team
from Washington State College. The Beavers, under the tutelage of
their first coach Eddie O'Connell, won their first intercollegiate meet,...
