  • Structure, abundance, and distribution of pelagic zooplankton in a deep, oligotrophic Caldera Lake

    Creator:
    Karnaugh, Elena N.
    Abstract:
    From July 1985 to April 1987 the pelagic zooplankton community of Crater Lake, Oregon was studied to determine taxonomic structure, absolute and relative densities, and spatial and temporal distributional patterns. Samples were collected using vertically-towed zooplankton nets. The community structure consisted of two cladoceran and nine rotifer species, which were...

  • Effects of floral position, stamen quality, hand pollination, and temperature during reproductive development on meadowfoam seed set and seed yield

    Creator:
    Alba, Elena L.
    Abstract:
    Inconsistent seed yields of meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Benth.) interfere with profitable production of this new oilseed crop. Significant correlation of field grown meadowfoam seed yields with years having temperatures above 24°C in mid-May at Corvallis, OR., led to the hypothesis that ambient temperature during reproductive development affects meadowfoam seed yields....
