Phenol-water and trichloroacetic acid extracts of Vibrio
anguillarum were both antigenic and immunogenic when injected
into coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). Cross-protection against
virulent Vibrio anguillarum was observed with whole-cell bacterins
and phenol-water extracts prepared from two serologically distinct
groups. Gel diffusion studies indicated that intact somatic antigens
were serotype specific....
In recent years, state governments in the U.S. have promoted improvements to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education as a means to stimulate future economic growth and increase economic mobility into careers with higher earnings. Oregon’s STEM Initiative includes the creation and development of strategic public-private partnerships which aim...
The 1994 Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) shifted federal lands management from a focus on timber production to ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation. The plan established a network of conservation reserves and an ecosystem management strategy on ~10 million hectares from northern California to Washington State, USA, within the range of...

Correction: We discovered two typos and a change in a sentence needed in our published manuscript. Regarding the typos: timber estimates in Section 2 of the NWFP’s Long-Term Objectives should have been 2.34 million cubic meters annually instead of 234 million cubic meters annually and ~1.78 million cubic meters instead...
Opinions about public lands and the actions of private non-industrial forest owners in the
western United States play important roles in forested landscape management as both public
and private forests face increasing risks from large wildfires, pests and disease. This
work presents the responses from two surveys, a random-sample telephone...

Cnidarians, such as anemones and corals, engage in an intracellular symbiosis with
photosynthetic dinoflagellates. Corals form both the trophic and structural foundation of
reef ecosystems. Despite their environmental importance, little is known about the
molecular basis of this symbiosis. In this dissertation we explored the cnidariandinoflagellate symbiosis from two perspectives:...
Scleractinian corals, like many other cnidarians, engage in intracellular symbiosis with
dinoflagellates belonging to the genus Symbiodinium. This association makes
invaluable structural and energetic contributions to the marine environment and to the
coral reef ecosystem in particular. While many aspects of the cnidarian-dinoflagellate
relationship have been well studied, nothing is...
Here we document introns in two Symbiodinium clades that were most likely gained following divergence of this genus
from other peridinin-containing dinoflagellate lineages. Soluble peridinin-chlorophyll a-proteins (sPCP) occur in short and
long forms in different species. Duplication and fusion of short sPCP genes produced long sPCP genes. All short and...
