You are What, When, Where, and How you Eat : Mercury in Avian Food Webs across Multiple Spatial Scales

Creator:: Jackson, Allyson K.
Abstract:: Human alterations of landscapes take many forms, one of which is anthropogenic pollution. Mercury (Hg) is a complex contaminant because its uptake into the food web is not driven entirely by loading to the system; methylation is necessary to make Hg bioavailable and toxic to fish and wildlife. Because methylation...

Mercury and molt: no strong Hg trend across songbird primaries

Creator:: Ramsden, Danielle K., Low, Katherine E., Jackson, Allyson K., Emery, Colleen, and Eagles-Smith, Collin A.
Abstract:: Mercury (Hg) is a bioaccumulative metal that can threaten the health of wild birds. Feathers are commonly used biomonitoring tools for non-lethally estimating Hg exposure in birds because they contain stable Hg concentrations upon completion of feather growth, when blood flow to the feather has stopped. Despite the common use...

Mercury bioaccumulation in remote subalpine lakes : assessing the influence of invasive trout on salamanders

Creator:: Pfleeger, Adam
Abstract:: Mercury (Hg) contamination is a global conservation threat to freshwater ecosystems, detected in even the protected lakes of Olympic National Park (Washington, USA). Although considered some of the most remote and pristine US ecosystems, these lakes are currently subject to multiple environmental stressors, including climate change and fish introductions; adding...

Decomposition of Brassicaceae Residue in the Willamette Valley

Creator:: Berry, Pete A.
Abstract:: An important inoculum source of Leptosphaeria maculans and L. biglobosa (syn Plenodomus spp.), the pathogens that cause black leg in Brassicaceae crops, is infected plant residues. The general acceptance of conservation tillage in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA, has enabled a build-up in the amount of residue on or near...

Brassicaceae Seed Persistence and Dormancy in the Willamette Valley

Creator:: Flick, Gabriel D.
Abstract:: Producers in the Willamette Valley of Oregon are interested in growing canola as a rotational crop in grass seed and cereal rotations. Many other Brassicaceae seed crops also are produced within the valley. Concerns of seed persistence and volunteer contamination of Brassicaceae seed crops prompted the investigation of seed persistence...

Soil Solarization for Weed Management in Tree Seedling Nurseries in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Wada, Nami
Abstract:: Soil solarization is a pre-planting practice to reduce weed pressure by trapping solar energy using a transparent polyethylene film to heat soil. Soil solarization has been successfully used in regions with high solar radiation. The purpose of this research was to determine if soil solarization under Pacific Northwest conditions could...

Determining the essential elements of golf swings used by elite golfers

Creator:: Fujimoto-Kanatani, Koichiro
Abstract:: The golf swing involves a complex sequence of body movements which adjust according to the demands of a given shot. The purpose of this study was to determine common characteristics and essential elements of the golf swing under various conditions. The swing patterns of thirteen elite professional golfers were analyzed...

Perennial Ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) Cultivar Response to a Postemergence Application of Mesotrione

Creator:: Hinds-Cook, Barbara J.
Abstract:: Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is a widely grown cool season, bunch type, short lived perennial grass that is native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, but has been adapted globally. Perennial ryegrass is quick to establish, has a long growing season, and produces high seed yield and forage or...

Hybridization between imidazolinone-resistant wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and jointed goatgrass (Aegilops cylindrical Host.) and selection pressure impacts on proportion of resistance alleles

Creator:: Martins, Bianca Asssis Barbosa
Abstract:: Imazamox-resistant wheat (Clearfield®) cultivars carry the Imi1 gene, which confers resistance to the imidazolinone (IMI) herbicide imazamox. Imazamox provides selective control of jointed goatgrass and other weeds in IMI-resistant wheat. Imi1 gene flow between IMI-resistant wheat and jointed goatgrass may occur via hybridization and backcross events. In 2009 and 2010,...

Multiple-resistant Italian ryegrass (Lolium perenne spp. multiflorum) populations in Oregon

Creator:: Liu, Mingyang
Abstract:: Italian ryegrass (Lolium perenne spp. multiflorum) is a common weed management problem in turfgrasses, cereals and non-crop areas in the United States. In Oregon, the number of populations with multiple-resistance continues to increase. To manage these resistant populations, the resistance patterns must be determined. In this study, five Italian ryegrass...
