Astragalus oniciformis Barneby is a xerophyte of the sagebrush deserts of central Idaho. It is a narrow endemic of the upper Snake River Plains where it inhabits stabilized, aeolian sand deposits over Quaternary basalt flows. The objective of this study was to determine the levels and distribution of genetic differentiation...
An experimental reintroduction was performed to determine the best method to create new populations of the tuberous species Perideridia erythrorhiza, a rare vascular plant endemic to southern Oregon. Only a handful of sites are currently present, and many of these are subject to other land uses such as urban development...
In the wetland prairie of William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge (FNWR) in western Oregon, we investigated the response of Delphinium pavonaceum Ewan (peacock larkspur, Ranunculaceae), an endangered perennial forb, to four unreplicated dormant season fire regimes of 0, 2, 4, or 10 fires that were applied over a 12-year...
Plagiobothrys hirtus (Boraginaceae) is a state and federally listed endangered plant found only in Douglas County, Oregon. This vernal pool endemic has historically been threatened by agricultural conversion of seasonal wetlands in the Sutherlin area, and is currently being eradicated as habitat is lost due to the rapid urban development...
Active habitat management plays a key role in the preservation of native ecosystems and rare species, especially in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, where natural succession to woodlands threatens the few wetland prairies remaining after 150 years of agriculture and urbanization. Sidalcea nelsoniana, listed as threatened under the federal Endangered...
We used simulated magnetic displacements to test orientation preferences of
juvenile steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exposed to magnetic fields
existing at the northernmost and southernmost boundaries of their oceanic
range. Fish reared in natural magnetic conditions distinguished between
these two fields by orienting in opposite directions, with headings that
would...

BACKGROUND: Plant phenotype datasets include many different types of data, formats, and terms from specialized vocabularies. Because these datasets were designed for different audiences, they frequently contain language and details tailored to investigators with different research objectives and backgrounds. Although phenotype comparisons across datasets have long been possible on a...
