In 2008, Stodden and colleagues took a unique developmental approach toward addressing the potential role of motor competence in promoting positive or negative trajectories of physical activity, health-related fitness, and weight status. The conceptual model proposed synergistic relationships among physical activity, motor competence, perceived motor competence, health-related physical fitness, and...
Twenty-year-old Douglas-fir trees in provenances from Arizona,
New Mexico, and southern Colorado survived better and grew taller;
but incurred more winter injury in eastern Nebraska than trees from
provenances from northern Colorado, southern and western Montana,
northern Idaho, Canada, and eastern Washington. However, surviving
trees from Pacific Coast, and northern...
Areas with high species richness have become focal points in the establishment of
marine protected areas, but an understanding of the factors that support this diversity is still
incomplete. In coastal areas, tidal currents—modulated by bathymetry and manifested in variable
speeds—are a dominant physical feature of the environment. However, difficulties...
Puccinia graminis causes stem rust, a serious disease of cereals and forage grasses. Important formae speciales of P. graminis
and their typical hosts are P. graminis f. sp. tritici (Pg-tr) in wheat and barley, P. graminis f. sp. lolii (Pg-lo) in perennial ryegrass
and tall fescue, and P. graminis f....
Using qualitative research methods we examined how group ranch privatization and settlement of individual Maasai households across the landscape have affected traditional livestock herding and social capital mechanisms of Maasai livestock herders. This process has altered decision-making processes, social networks, and cooperation of Maasai herders and limited access to water...
Probabilistic flood hazard assessment is a promising methodology for estuarine risk assessment but currently remains limited by prohibitively long simulation times. This study addresses this problem through the development of an emulator, or surrogate model, which replaces the simulator (in this case the coupled ADCIRC+SWAN model) with a statistical representation...
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...

Despite the fact that envy is widely viewed as one of the most pernicious and dysfunctional workplace emotions, research has ignored its longer-term consequences. This oversight can largely be attributed to over reliance on the relatively static affective events framework that does not account for how envy-eliciting events can threaten...
