Background:
Phylogeographic studies of aquatic insects provide valuable insights into mechanisms that shape the genetic structure of communities, yet studies that include broad geographic areas are uncommon for this group. We conducted a broad scale phylogeographic analysis of the least salmonfly Pteronarcella badia (Plecoptera) across western North America. We tested...

alternatives from birth to slaughter included season of calving, lactating
cow nutrition, preweaning calf nutrition, weaning age, calf and
yearling winter nutrition, range and irrigated pasture supplementation,
grazing practice, range...
A high speed motion neutron radiography system has been developed
at Oregon State University which is capable of taking high speed
neutron radiographs of events which occur on the order of one to two
milliseconds or more. This system was used previously to demonstrate
the application of high speed motion...
