The Antarctic contribution to sea level is a balance between ice loss along the margin and accumulation in the interior. Accumulation records for the past few decades are noisy and show inconsistent relationships with temperature. We investigate the relationship between accumulation and temperature for the past 31 ka using high-resolution records...

The American Land Institute is proud to present this study, Oregon’s Public Investment in Conservation, Prosperity and Fairness. This is the first major study on a topic that has been largely overlooked in past and current discussions of land use law in Oregon: the nature and extent of property tax...
Invasions have increased the size of regional species pools, but are typically assumed to reduce native diversity.
However, global-scale tests of this assumption have been elusive because of the focus on exotic species richness,
rather than relative abundance. This is problematic because low invader richness can indicate invasion resistance by...

We used multi-season occupancy analyses to model 2 fates of northern spotted owl territories in
relation to habitat amount, habitat fragmentation, and the presence of barred owls in Washington State,
USA, 1989–2005. Local colonization is the probability a territory unoccupied by a spotted owl in year i would
be occupied...

Trophic interactions within and among species vary widely across spatial scales and species’ ontogeny. However, the drivers and implications of this variability are not well understood. Juvenile Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha have a wide distribution, ranging from northern California to the eastern Bering Sea in North America, but it is...

The amino acid acridon-2-ylalanine (Acd) can be a valuable probe of protein conformational change because it is a
long lifetime, visible wavelength fluorophore that is small enough to be incorporated during ribosomal biosynthesis. Incorporation
of Acd into proteins expressed in E. coli requires efficient chemical synthesis to produce large quantities...

The construction of the first genetic map in autotetraploid blueberry has been made possible by the development of new SNP markers developed using genotyping by sequencing in a mapping population created from a cross between two key highbush blueberry cultivars, Draper × Jewel (Vaccinium corymbosum). The novel SNP markers were...

Two modifications to an existing scheme of tidal
mixing are implemented in the coarse resolution ocean component
of a global climate model. First, the vertical distribution
of energy flux out of the barotropic tide is determined
using high resolution bathymetry. This shifts the levels of
mixing higher up in the...

Dams impound the majority of rivers and provide important societal benefits, especially daily water releases that enable on-peak hydroelectricity generation. Such “hydropeaking” is common worldwide, but its downstream impacts remain unclear. We evaluated the response of aquatic insects, a cornerstone of river food webs, to hydropeaking using a life history–hydrodynamic...
