Phylogenetic analyses based on nLSU and ITS sequence data indicate that the sequestrate genus Gigasperma is polyphyletic. Gigasperma cryptica, which is known only from New Zealand, has affinities with the Cortinariaceae whereas G. americanum and two additional undescribed taxa from western North America are derived from Lepiota within the Agaricaceae....
The ex-vessel supply chain for fisheries has been recognized as an important determinant of value generation. In recent years, as the retail demand for fresh seafood products has increased, many independent fishermen have bypassed thin, monopsonized, or otherwise inferior wholesale markets by engaging in implicit or explicit fixed-output contracts with...
During the 1994 growing season, 1,998 dormant wine and table grape cuttings and 2,552 mist propagated plants were distributed to 33 growers from the OSU Mother Block. Sixteen new clones were added to the Mother Block in early spring. This included rootstock, wine and table grape cultivars. The trellising system...
The Oregon Foundation Seed & Plant Materials Project (FS&PMP) is charged with maintaining, increasing, and distributing early generation planting stock of grains, grasses, legumes, potatoes, grapes, and mint to Oregon growers. Early generation seed and plant materials are released to Foundation seed programs for the production of the Foundation class...
One of the goals of the Integrated Production approach is an overall reduction of pesticide use, including the application of fungicides for disease control. Powdery mildew is the most frequently sprayed disease in Oregon vineyards. Losses to powdery mildew vary from year to year, but may be substantial. Because little...
The exchange of carbon dioxide is a key measure of ecosystem metabolism and a critical intersection
between the terrestrial biosphere and the Earth’s climate. Despite the general agreement that
the terrestrial ecosystems in North America provide a sizeable carbon sink, the size and distribution
of the sink remain uncertain. We...

Many fishermen diversify their income by fishing in more than one fishery which can significantly reduce year-to-year variation in income. However, opportunities to diversify have become more limited as access to fisheries has become more restricted. The implementation of catch share systems could further reduce diversification if those who remain...
A supplemental Douglas-fir tussock moth egg mass evaluation was made within three quarter sections north of Poison, Montana, during April 1975. These areas were being considered for a pilot control project of a nucleopolyhedrosis virus spray. Results from the April evaluation showed these areas no longer qualified as sites for...
In 1973, two centers of defoliation by Douglas-fir tussock moth totaling 350 acres were detected near Missoula, Montana. Egg mass surveys showed two sections south of Frenchtown and one section northwest of Lolo 41, contain sufficient egg mass population to cause heavy defoliation in 1974.
