Fever responses to an immune challenge have been studied in endothermic creatures, but studies of the equivalence is lacking in ectotherms. In this study, heterophil counts were shown to be significantly higher in individuals immune challenged with LPS when compared to a control group. This is indicative of an innate...
A study was conducted during 1959 and 1960 on the
history and productivity of the crayfish, Pacitastacus
leniusculus trowbridgii, in Berry Creek, a small woodland
stream in western Oregon. This included an estimation of
the annual crayfish production, in terms of tissue
elaborated, of a 1500 foot controlled section of...
An experiment was conducted during the period November 1967
to November 1968 at Oregon State University (OSU) and the Umatilla
Branch Experiment Station (BES) at Hermiston, two trials at each
location, to answer several questions: (1) could comparable rations
for swine be formulated by a computer on a least-cost basis;...
Responses to two cycles of mass selection for heading date,
followed by selfing or intermating, were studied in two diverse
winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell) crosses. Selection
was bidirectional, resulting in early and late populations for
each mating system, cycle, and cross. The influence of mass
selection for...
Based on per acre costs, plantation establishment is one of the most expensive silvicultural practices (Pfister 1976), but only token studies have been done on frequency and causes of seedling injury and mortality in Region 1 plantations (Wenner 1976). Therefore, we conducted a survey in 1978 on four National Forests...
