Statistical summaries of streamfiow data at 358 stream-gaging sites
are presented to aid in appraising the hydrology of river basins in Oregon.
Records for 36 stream-gaging stations were compiled into separate periods
because of changes in streamflow regulation during the period of data
collection. Statistical summaries for the periods before...

We describe continental-scale increases in lake and stream total phosphorus (TP) concentrations, identified through periodic probability surveys of thousands of water bodies in the conterminous U.S. The increases, observed over the period 2000–2014 were most notable in sites in relatively undisturbed catchments and where TP was initially low (e.g., less...

We quantified the relative influence of maternal fidelity to feeding grounds and natal
fidelity to breeding grounds on the population structure of humpback whales Megaptera novae-angliae based on an ocean-wide survey of mitochondrial (mt) DNA diversity in the North Pacific.
For 2193 biopsy samples collected from whales in 10 feeding...

Understanding the processes that control the terrestrial exchange of carbon is critical for
assessing atmospheric CO₂ budgets. Carbonyl sulfide (COS) is taken up by vegetation during
photosynthesis following a pathway that mirrors CO₂ but has a small or nonexistent emission component,
providing a possible tracer for gross primary production. Field...

A suite of eight rocks analyzed by the Curiosity Rover while it was stopped at the Rocknest sand
ripple shows the greatest chemical divergence of any potentially sedimentary rocks analyzed in the early
part of the mission. Relative to average Martian soil and to the stratigraphically lower units encountered as...

Rationale:
The sampling of sequential, annually formed bone growth layers for stable carbon (δ¹³C values) and nitrogen (δ¹⁵N values) isotope analysis (SIA) can provide a time series of foraging ecology data. To date, no standard protocol exists for the pre-SIA treatment of cortical samples taken from fresh, modern, bones.
Methods:...

The entomopathogenic fungi Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana are commercially available as microbial control agents for the black vine weevil, Otiorhynchus sulcatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), the key root-feeding insect pest in Pacific Northwest small fruits and ornamentals. Understanding habitat selection is critical to improve the efficacy, persistence and cost of...
