Introduction The Willamette River Flow Project The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) are collaborating on a project to determine environmental flow requirements for the Willamette River and its tributaries and to design and test alternative flow releases from the dams that can meet...
Dynamic seascapes, which are classified using a combination of remotely sensed data and model output, represent a potential tool for dynamic ecosystem-based management in marine systems. This work explores the utility of seascape classification in the context of marine resource management by examining two case studies: one involving biological relationships...
Although the Escherichia coli host has almost all of the enzymes necessary to
synthesize nucleotides needed for bacteriophage T4 DNA replication, phage genes
expressed early in infection encode enzymes for de novo DNA precursor biosynthesis
and salvage from degraded host DNA. Eight early enzymes and two host enzymes
comprise the...
In ecological restoration, species that are sown to increase the native plant
diversity range in establishment ability. Some species readily establish, while others
rarely do. This study set out to investigate some of the potential processes influencing
species establishment, as well as the traits that are associated with the success...
