Coral reefs are in decline worldwide, and land-derived sources of pollution, including sewage, are a major force driving that deterioration. This review presents evidence that sewage discharge occurs in waters surrounding at least 104 of 112 reef geographies. Studies often refer to sewage as a single stressor. However, we show...
Recent studies have demonstrated that some hormones are present in baleen powder from bowhead (Balaena mysticetus) and North Atlantic right (Eubalaena glacialis) whales. To test the potential generalizability of this technique for studies of stress and reproduction in large whales, we sought to determine whether all major classes of steroid...
The history of entomopathogenic nematology is briefly reviewed. Topic selections include early descriptions of members
of Steinernema and Heterorhabditis, how only morphology was originally used to distinguish between the species; descriptions of the
symbiotic bacteria and elucidating their role in the nematode- insect complex, including antibiotic properties, phase variants, and...
This issue of the Pacific Marine Fisheries Commission bulletin contains a study of annual and seasonal bathymetric catch patterns for commercially important ground fishes of the Pacific Northwest coast.
