Over 56,000 hours of locomotor activity of Taricha granulosa
were recorded using two types of low cylindrical plastic monitoring
chambers. This species shows distinct rhythms of activity under
normal day-night cycles, shortened day-night cycles, constant
darkness (DD) and constant light (LL). The rough-skinned newt is
day active and crepuscular. I...
Although field-collected recordings typically contain multiple simultaneously vocalizing birds of different species, acoustic species classification in this setting has received little study so far. This work formulates the problem of classifying the set of species present in an audio recording using the multi-instance multi-label (MIML) framework for machine learning, and...
The stability and value of transgenic pest resistance for promoting tree growth are poorly understood. These data are
essential for determining if such trees could be beneficial to commercial growers in the face of substantial regulatory and
marketing costs. We investigated growth and insect resistance in hybrid poplar expressing the...

Four decades after the passage of the US Clean Air Act, air-quality standards are set to protect ecosystems from damage caused by gas-phase nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) compounds, but not from the deposition of these air pollutants to land and water. Here, we synthesize recent scientific literature on the...

pollution in the US: what do we know?

Understanding the interplay between environmental conditions and phenotypes is a fundamental goal of biology. Unfortunately, data that include observations on phenotype and environment are highly heterogeneous and thus difficult to find and integrate. One approach that is likely to improve the status quo involves the use of ontologies to standardize...

The Willamette River, one of only 14 American Heritage Rivers, flows through the most densely populated and agriculturally productive region of Oregon. Previous biological monitoring of Willamette River fish detected elevated frequencies of skeletal deformities in fish from certain areas of the lower (NP [NP], rivermile [RM] 26-55) and middle...
