The distribution of barite (BaSO₄) in marine sediments has long been studied as a proxy for paleoproductivity. While pure barite is known to be a stable mineral in oxic sediments, it is also known that variations in the Sr/Ba ratio influence its solubility and liability during early diagenesis. To extract...
The importance of pheromones in insect control relies both on
their ability to reduce pest populations and on their relatively benign
effects on nontarget organisms. This study was conducted to test the
effectiveness of a pheromone application for mating disruption of the
ponderosa pine tip moth, Rhyacionia zozana (Kearfott), and...
Invasion by nonnative brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) often results in replacement of bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in western North America, but the causal mechanisms are not well understood. Removal of brook trout from 1992 to 2000 from Sun Creek in southern Oregon, provided an opportunity to investigate the changes in...
