Recent warnings from scientists suggest there is limited time to enact policies to avert wide‐ranging ecological and social damage from climate change. In the United States, discussions about comprehensive national policies to avert climate change have begun, with “Green New Deal” proposals and climate plans put forth by members of...
Oregon is a leader in production of premium wines in the United States and the industry has been expanding rapidly over the past few years. However, continued production and expansion of vineyards are threatened by infestation of phylloxera, Daktulospaira vitifoliae, an insect that feeds on roots. Most grapevines in Oregon...
Chemical compounds produced by organisms, or natural products, are excellent sources of inspiration for anticancer pharmaceutical discovery (Rodrigues et al., 2016). Microtubule targeting agents are a specific class of compounds, often discovered from natural sources, that have been developed as clinically successful anticancer therapies (Steinmetz and Prota, 2018). In the...
Predator outbreaks are predicted to increasingly decimate economically and ecologically important prey populations because global climate change and food-web modifications frequently facilitate predators and stress prey. Natural systems are organized hierarchically, with processes operating at multiple scales giving rise to patterns of biodiversity, so predicting and managing outbreaks requires a...
Air was sampled from the porous firn layer at the NEEM site in Northern Greenland. We use an ensemble of ten reference tracers of known atmospheric history to characterise the transport properties of the site. By analysing uncertainties in both data and the reference gas atmospheric histories, we can objectively...

Background—The effect of intensive blood pressure (BP) lowering on kidney function among individuals with established cerebrovascular disease and preserved estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is not established.
Methods and Results—Among 2610 participants randomized to a lower (<130 mm Hg) versus higher (130–149 mm Hg) systolic BP target with repeated measures...

Oregon has a rich history in the production of fruits, berries, vegetables, and ornamental crops; the state’s national and international reputation for delivering high-quality products is well-established and well-deserved. In the past, agriculture and forestry were the foundation of Oregon’s economy. Although other activities now are equal in size to...
