The objectives of this study are to: 1) study the variations
among stands of old-growth Sitka spruce forest located within a relatively
restricted geographical area, 2) determine the relationship between
species distribution, vegetational pattern, and such site factors
as slope and aspect, and 3) ascertain the abruptness of phytosociological
change...
Pelvetiopsis limitata (Setchell) Gardner (Phaeophyta,
Fucales), collected on the central Oregon coast, was
studied by electron microscopy, and by light microscopy
using methacrylate embedding and toluidine blue, acid fuchsin,
PAS and anilin blue staining. The sperm of both P.
limitata and Pelvetia fastigiata (J. Agardh) DeToni (from
northern California) are...
The eastern Georges Bank haddock resource is shared and managed by the U.S. and Canada through a transboundary resource sharing agreement. This agreement includes an annual process for joint stock assessment, setting of a TAC, and harvest shares for each country. The resource sharing agreement provides a mechanism for establishing...
Disease dilution (reduced disease prevalence with increasing biodiversity) has been described for
many different pathogens. Although the mechanisms causing this phenomenon remain unclear,
the disassembly of communities to predictable subsets of species, which can be caused by
changing climate, land use, or invasive species, underlie one important hypothesis. In this...
We quantified the juvenile rearing and migratory patterns of individuals from a population of fall-spawning Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha in Oregon's Salmon River estuary using otolith microchemistry and microstructure. The study confirmed the daily periodicity of otolith growth increments in a natural fish population under field conditions and validated fundamental...

A strong, isolated October storm generated 0.35–0.7 m s⁻¹ inertial frequency currents in the 40-m deep mixed layer of a 300 km×300 km region of the northeast Pacific Ocean. The authors describe the evolution of these currents and the background flow in which they evolve for nearly a month following...
