Native to the Pacific Northwest, Ceratomyxashastais a myxosporeanparasite that infects wild and cultivated salmon and has a significance impact on its population in the Klamath River basin. The study suggests that the transmission of mixed genotypes of the parasite are common in Chinook salmon but the age of the fish...

Provides information about complexity of watersheds. Outlines ways to form partnerships, to develop strategies for enhancing watershed resources, and to implement enhancement projects.
Stomata control tree transpiration by sensing and integrating environmental signals originating in the atmosphere and soil, and co-occurring species may differ in inherent stomatal sensitivity to these above- and belowground signals and in the types of signals to which they respond. Stomatal responsiveness to environmental signals is likely to differ...
Rhododendrons and blueberries are popular
plants in home gardens in western Oregon and
Washington. Both are easy to grow in most
gardens, but problems with growth can occur if
the soil is not sufficiently acidic. Even in the
naturally acidic soil west of the Cascade Mountains,
soil often is not...
Crystallographic studies of ligands bound to biological macromolecules (proteins and nucleic acids) represent an important source of information concerning drug-target interactions, providing atomic level insights into the physical chemistry of complex formation between macromolecules and ligands. Of the more than 115,000 entries extant in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) archive,...

New grading standards for hay have been proposed by the American
Forage and Grassland Council and the Federal Grain Inspection Service.
This publication traces the development of these standards, describes new
terminology, and reports on research conducted at Oregon State University
to evaluate these new standards.
Alfalfa hay samples obtained...
Extensive volcanic fields on the western Arabian Plate have erupted intermittently over the last 30 Ma following emplacement of the Afar flood basalts in Ethiopia. In an effort to better understand the origin of this volcanism in western Saudi Arabia, we analyzed ³He/⁴He, and He, CO₂ and trace element concentrations...
Concentrations of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs),
pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons were measured in 136 fish from 14 remote
lakes in 8 western U.S. National Parks/Preserves between
2003 and 2005 and compared to human and wildlife contaminant
health thresholds. A sensitive (median detection limit, -18
