Anti-predator behaviors like vigilance or hiding come at the expense of other fitness increasing behaviors such as foraging. To compensate for this trade-off, prey assess predation risk and modify the frequency of anti-predator behaviors according to the likelihood of the threat. In this study, we tested the ability of house...
The end of the Cold War brought about changes within international political relations that resulted in expanded interest in global civil society. Such developments, like globalization and democratization, have encouraged the growth of social and political organizations. Political scientists have found that these inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations have a significant...

Research in Dolan lab focuses primarily on the adaptive immune system and ways it can be better utilized to eliminate infected or transformed cells. Research focuses on the major histocompatibility (MHC) class I antigen presentation pathway, which plays an important role in alerting the immune system of the presence of...
In September 1991, the Bureau of Land Management asked the Secretary of the Interior to convene the Endangered Species Committee. The Bureau wanted permission to proceed with 44 timber sales In Oregon that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had ruled would jeopardize the continued existence of the northern spotted...
Many Gram-negative bacteria use a type III secretion system (T3SS) to establish associations with their hosts. The T3SS is a conduit for direct injection of type-III effector proteins into host cells, where they manipulate the host for the benefit of the infecting bacterium. For plant-associated pathogens, the variations in number...
During the Ice in Clouds Experiment‐Layer Clouds (ICE‐L), dry lakebed, or playa,
salts from the Great Basin region of the United States were observed as cloud nuclei in
orographic wave clouds over Wyoming. Using a counterflow virtual impactor in series with
a single‐particle mass spectrometer, sodium‐potassium‐magnesium‐calcium‐chloride
salts were identified as...
The Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement (KBRA) and the Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement (KHSA) forged between Klamath River Basin stakeholder groups in California and Oregon, when successfully implemented, will lead to the largest dam removal project in history. After a decade of intense legal and social conflict among disparate interests in...
Single-scattering tomography describes a model of photon transfer through a object in which photons are assumed to scatter at most once. The Broken Ray transform arises from this model, and was first investigated by Lucia Florescu, Vadim A. Markel, and John C. Schotland, [2], in 2010, followed by an inversion,...

Abstract— This study describes the sound produced by a
hydrokinetic turbine operating in a riverine environment near
Iguigig, AK (USA). Drifting spar buoys equipped with
hydrophones and GPS loggers were used to characterize
temporal and spatial variability in turbine sound over a range of
turbine operating conditions. Because of the...
