Most benthic marine fishes have a biphasic life cycle with a dispersive pelagic larval stage that spends weeks to months in the plankton before metamorphosing into juveniles and settling to benthic habitats. The magnitude of mortality during the early life stages of marine fishes typically drives variability in year-class strength....
Streamflow forecasts are essential to the optimal operation of
hydroelectric and irrigation reservoirs in the Pacific Northwest.
Satellite snow cover observations would aid in these streamflow forecasts
by providing snow cover data at regular time intervals. Unfortunately,
satellite capability to remotely sense mountain snow cover
conditions is indeterminate due to...
A recent identification of the two-component aggregation pheromone of the invasive stink bug species, Halyomorpha halys (Stal), in association with a synergist, has greatly improved the ability to accurately monitor the seasonal abundance and distribution of this destructive pest. We evaluated the attraction of H. halys to black pyramid traps...
