Experiments were conducted to determine if allelopathy is a mechanism
by which buckwheat interferes with a) the growth of Canada thistle and/or b)
mycorrhizae colonization in Canada thistle roots. In a competition experiment,
buckwheat plant biomass was only affected by the intraspecific competition
from other buckwheat plants and not by...
Leptarctia californiae (Walker) was studied on clear and semi-forested southern slopes in the Coast Range Mountains of Benton County, Oregon. The spring of 1965 had an unusually long warm period (21 days) resulting in adult emergence approximately 25 days earlier than in the cooler spring of 1966. Peak flight activity...
At Oregon State University, we are exploring the differences between collections formed by digitizing existing materials on our shelves and those created by identifying and acquiring digital objects beyond our library. One example is the proposed Tsunami Digital Library (TDL) that would support a growing research program with users needing...
Prairie-oak ecosystems in the Willamette Valley, Oregon have experienced habitat loss and degradation; most of these ecosystems are fragmented into smaller patches. Prairie-oak butterfly species, in the Willamette Valley, have decreased dramatically due to loss or degradation of habitat. More research is needed on sustaining the populations of butterflies in...
A biological inventory of the butterflies of the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest [HJA] in Linn/Lane County, Oregon was conducted during 1994 and 1995. It was the first comprehensive survey of HJA butterflies for the site and serves as a baseline for future butterfly research. A detailed ecological account is...

A time-dependent, spectral, barotropic model and a similar
two-layer primitive equation model are developed to investigate the
planetary-scale wave responses to various types of large-scale
forcing: vorticity and heat sources, and sea surface temperature (SST)
anomalies. Both models are linearized about the zonal mean states of
January climatology.
The characteristics...
A complete solution, exact to second-order, for wave motion
forced by a hinged-wavemaker of variable-draft is presented. A
solution for a piston type wavemaker is also obtained as a special
case of a hinged-wavemaker with negative infinite draft. The
existing Stokes inviscid theories for mass transport is extended to
include...
