The purpose of this study was to investigate the survival and movements of newly metamorphosed Northern Red-legged frogs (Rana aurora aurora) as they emigrated from two ephemeral breeding ponds. Quantifying survival and movement rates will be important to our understanding how changes to terrestrial and aquatic systems affect behavior and...
Diatoms are a ubiquitous group of plankton responsible for 20-40% of oceanic
primary production, and a higher fraction of organic matter export to the ocean
interior. Diatoms actively transport dissolved inorganic silicon into their cells, and
through the process of silicification (i.e. biogenic silica production) they build tough
and intricate...
This compilation of theses and dissertations (a part of the OSU Bibliographic Series) for the period 1970-1977 reflects this university's emphasis on research and graduate study. It may be viewed as an indicator of the contributions made to the state of Oregon through graduate study and research at Oregon State...
About 7,000 years ago two major tephra-falls blanketed the
Pacific Northwest in volcanic ash. These two tephra-falls, identified
as the Llao and climatic tephra-falls, were a part of the eruptive
events that led up to the collapse of Mount Mazama to form Crater Lake
in the southern Oregon Cascades.
The...
We compiled existing data and information to characterize the condition and trends in high priority natural resources in Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve (EBLA, or "the Reserve"). We identified 29 indicators to evaluate seven major resource concerns. For each indicator we attempted to define reference conditions to which we could...
Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) has a wide distribution in North America and is one of the
tree species most widely distributed outside its natural range. The species has been introduced to
Europe, New Zealand, South America, and elsewhere around the world. At present, Douglas-fir
is an accepted and integral part of...

Potentially relevant literature for the years 1990-1999 was identified by (a) conducting keyword searches of computerized bibliographic databases, especially CAB Abstracts and Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts, (b) reading through the tables of contents of a few especially relevant journals, (c) searching the internet for pertinent bibliographies, and (d) to...
The purpose of this research was to determine the effects of a
college human sexuality course upon sex knowledge, attitudes toward
sexual behaviors of non-significant others, and attitudes toward the
sexual behaviors of self and spouse. In addition, the study sought to
investigate the relationship between knowledge gain and attitude...

For the first time in several years, the El Niño-Southern
Oscillation did not dominate regional climate conditions
around the globe. A weak La Niña dissipated to ENSOneutral
conditions by spring, and while El Niño appeared
to be emerging during summer, this phase never fully
developed as sea surface temperatures in...
The atomic age was enacted by many scientists as a way to realize health and human rights. Human rights were conceived in this context as rights to economic development, science education, and nuclear medicine. The United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) acted hand in hand with UN agencies and educators...
