The Greenstone Mountain area, which includes the Utopia mining
district, is located in the foothills of the Pioneer Range, Beaverhead
County, Montana. Approximately 12, 600 feet of Paleozoic and
Mesozoic sedimentary rocks and an undetermined thickness of Precambrian
sediments and Late Cretaceous igneous rocks are exposed
within the area of...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF
GEORGE CARTER SHARP, JR. for the MASTER OF SCIENCE
Coastal upwelling regimes are some of the most productive ecosystems in the ocean but are also among the most vulnerable to ocean acidification (OA) due to naturally high background concentrations of CO₂. Yet our ability to predict how these ecosystems will respond to additional CO₂ resulting from anthropogenic emissions is...

This is an integrated assessment across terrestrial, freshwater, and coastal marine realms. It includes the coast range of Oregon and Washington as well as Vancouver Island in British Columbia. The marine portion only includes the coastline and shallow subtidal; the next iteration will include the offshore component.
1. Foraging and migration often require different energetic and movement strategies. Though not readily apparent, constraints during one phase might influence the foraging strategies observed in another. For marine birds that fly and dive, body size constraints likely present a trade-off between foraging ability and migration as smaller bodies reduce...

BACKGROUND: Variation in the number of repeated traits, or serial homologs, has contributed greatly to animal body
plan diversity. Eyespot color patterns of nymphalid butterflies, like arthropod and vertebrate limbs, are an example
of serial homologs. These eyespot color patterns originated in a small number of wing sectors on the...
