Eight scale characters of known hatchery and wild coho salmon
(Oncorhynchus kisutch) were compared, and a linear discriminant
function was used to determine if hatchery and wild adult coho
salmon could be correctly identified by their scales. Eighty-two
percent of the hatchery and 89% of the wild fish were correctly...
Improving vegetation management decisions in Pacific Northwest forests requires a better understanding of the interactions between
planted conifers and associated vegetation. A practical index of interspecific competition, and quantitative models predicting conifer performance from such an index are particularly needed. To meet this
need, neighborhood models of interspecific competition were...

Pineal hydroxyindole-0-methyltransferase (HIOMT) activity
was monitored over a 24 h period under three different photoperiods,
16L:8D, 8L: 16D, and 12 L:12D. It was observed that in all three
groups of fish HIOMT activity was high' during the dark portion of the
photoperiod in comparison to activity during the light portion....

various reactions to the origin of Species in America, the Mormon reaction to Darwinism has been largely ignored. This dissertation will recount the history of this reaction as exemplified by the life and works of B. H. Roberts. Roberts's intellectual pursuits early in...
Two management systems were evaluated in terms of the effects on
cow condition score and body weight changes and calf growth rates. The
management systems evaluated were winter supplementation of energy,
winter creep feeding and delayed weaning. The calves used in this study
were born in September and October of...
