Island systems and species are susceptible to extinction because of their small population size and an ecological naiveté from an evolutionary past lacking strong competition and predation. For example, only one-fifth of the world’s bird species occur on islands, yet more than 90% of the avian extinctions witnessed during historic...

We studied the distribution and habitat selection differences between
Spanish breed (Corriente and Longhorn mix) and British breed cattle (Angus,
Hereford). This study was located on the Zumwalt prairie during the spring and
fall and along the Imnaha river for the winter. Each trial ran for two weeks and in...
Aquatic ecological investigation is expanding to encompass considerations of
multiple scales across large landscapes. Much of the analysis included in this work
focuses specifically on coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) in multiple subbasins on
the Oregon coast. Coho salmon were chosen for an investigation of spatial scales,
network connections, and life...
Three experiments were conducted in broiler hens to study the influence of dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on egg quality, antioxidant status in progeny, and eicosanoid production in tissue. The objective of experiment 1 was to determine the effect of hen age and dietary n-3 PUFA on egg quality...
