It cannot be said that aquaculture has ignored sustainable development (SD), judging by the number of standards, guides and indicators devoted to it, produced mainly under the aegis of international organizations such as FAO, The European Union and some NGOs. However, these continue to be perceived in large measure as...
Salmon hatcheries have been utilized throughout the Pacific Northwest for many decades to mitigate losses, supplement natural spawning populations, and to provide tribal, sport and commercial fishing opportunities. Currently, there is substantial debate on their efficacy and the potential threats hatchery-reared salmonids pose to natural populations. These concerns have lead...
In many western North American forests, prescribed burning and mechanical thinning are widely used to reduce
fuels and restore stand conditions after a century of fire suppression. Few studies have followed the relative impacts
of these treatments on the production and consumption of truffles in forest ecosystems, particularly in the...

An international symposium devoted to Research and small-scale fisheries (Durand, Lemoalle, Weber,
1991) in Montpellier (France) in 1989 came from increasing evidence that “the complexity of small scale
fisheries calls for applying knowledge from many fields in combined studies that can take advantage of a
whole range of information”. Has...
Detailed analysis of mixed-conifer and red fir forests were made from extensive, large vegetation sampling, systematically conducted throughout the Teakettle Experimental Forest. Mixed conifer is characterized by distinct patch conditions of closed-canopy tree clusters, persistent gaps and shrub thickets. This heterogeneous spatial structure provides contrasting microclimate, habitat and resource conditions...

The central nervous system of Phidippus, while comparable to that
of other spiders in most respects, is distinguished by the extraordinary
development of visual processing centers, associated with the
complex visually-directed behavior of these animals.
The primary neuropile of the anterior medial eyes consists of two
distinct columnar synapsing regions....
We spatially discretize the Sn transport equation using the high-order (HO) discontinuous finite element method (DFEM) on HO meshes. Previous work provided a proof-of-concept for this spatial discretization method in X-Y geometry. Included in the present work, we derive a spatial discretization for the Sn transport equation in both X-Y...
