Only two genome-wide significant loci associated with longevity have been identified so far, probably because of insufficient sample sizes of centenarians, whose genomes may harbor genetic variants associated with health and longevity. Here we report a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of Han Chinese with a sample size 2.7 times the...
Estuaries are once again emerging as important ecosystems for scientific study. Consequently, knowledge of what research has been conducted helps us identify benchmarks and plan new projects. A comprehensive bibliography of published research, technical reports, local documents, and data sets is one means of recording this knowledge. Yaquina Bay, located...
Oregon's estuaries are important ecosystems for scientific study. Consequently, knowledge of what research has been conducted helps us identify benchmarks and plan new projects. A comprehensive bibliography of published research, technical reports, local documents, and data sets is one means of recording this knowledge. For these reasons, the Guin Library...

The major historical studies that have examined American
biology have emphasized the development of experimental biology at
the end of the nineteenth century. In this characterization, the
descriptive branch of biology has often been treated as less than
important and, in several cases, as a hindrance in the application
of...
Eleven small Mesozoic plutons crop out within a 76-squaremile
area of the southern Seven Devils Mountains in west-central
Idaho. The plutons are divided into a mafic suite, an older granitic
suite, and a younger granitic suite on the basis of age, lithology, and
degree of metamorphism.
The six plutons of...
There are seven stratigraphic units exposed in the Picture
Gorge quadrangle, a 204-square mile area in east-central Oregon.
isolated exposures of pre-Cretaceous serpentinites, metalimestones,
and other metamorphic rocks record marine deposition
of sands silts, and limy sediments followed by burial, lithification,
peridotite intrusion, and several periods of deformation. Intrusion
and...
The recovery of a 1.5 million yr long ice core from Antarctica represents a keystone of our understanding of Quaternary climate, the progression of glaciation over this time period and the role of greenhouse gas cycles in this progression. Here we tackle the question of where such ice may still...
