"It appears that the summer of 2003 was very likely warmer than any other
summer in Europe back to 1500" (Luterbacher, 2004). This was the conclusion of a
study about the changing climate of Europe by climatologists at the University of
Bern, Switzerland, and published in Science in May, 2004....
Strobilus production, growth, and morphology of Pacific yew (Taxus brevifolia Nutt.) were examined at three sites in the Cascade Mountains and one site in the Willamette Valley of western Oregon. Strobilus production on branch segments was positively associated with overstory openness for male and female trees at all four sites...

Question: Most results of restoration efforts are species-specific and/or site-specific and therefore are not general enough to be easily applied to other species and other sites. Our research addresses the issue of species-specific results by investigating the feasibility of using plant traits instead of taxonomic species to characterize species responses...
One of the most commonly encountered plant-parasitic nematodes in eastern Washington Vitis vinifera vineyards is Meloidogyne hapla; however, limited research exists on the impact of this nematode on V. vinifera. The objectives of this research were to determine the impact of M. hapla on Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon vine establishment...
For marine mammals, the ability to tolerate apnea and make extended dives is a defining adaptive trait, facilitating the exploitation of marine food resources. Elevated levels of myoglobin within the muscles are a consistent hallmark of this trait, allowing oxygen collected at the surface to be stored in the muscles...

Recent warnings from scientists suggest there is limited time to enact policies to avert wide‐ranging ecological and social damage from climate change. In the United States, discussions about comprehensive national policies to avert climate change have begun, with “Green New Deal” proposals and climate plans put forth by members of...
