Forest understory vegetation is influenced by broad-scale variation in climate, intermediate-scale
variation in topography, disturbance and neighborhood interactions. However, little is known about
how these multi-scale controls interact to...

INTRODUCTION: We have previously reported results of precipitation studies for neonatal parenteral nutrition solutions
containing calcium chloride and sodium phosphate using visual methods to determine compatibility. The purpose of this
study was...

Pseudomonas fluorescens WH6 secretes a germination-arrest factor (GAF) that we have
identified previously as 4-formylaminooxyvinylglycine. GAF irreversibly inhibits germination of the
seeds of numerous grassy weeds and selectively inhibits growth...

Plastids are actively involved in numerous plant processes critical to growth, development and adaptation. They play a
primary role in photosynthesis, pigment and monoterpene synthesis, gravity sensing, starch and fatty acid synthesis, as well
as...

The ascomycete Geosmithia morbida and the walnut twig beetle Pityophthorus juglandis are associated with thousand
cankers disease of Juglans (walnut) and Pterocarya (wingnut). The disease was first reported in the western United States
(USA) on...

Biotic resistance is the idea that native species negatively affect the invasion success
of introduced species, but whether this can occur at large spatial scales is poorly
understood. Here we re-evaluated the hypothesis that native large-bodied...

Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global databases of species’ threat status or population time...

Whole-genome duplications are radical evolutionary events that have driven speciation and adaptation in many taxa. Higher-order
polyploids have complex histories often including interspecific hybridization and dynamic genomic changes. This...

Across the western US, the two most prevalent native forest insect pests are mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonus ponderosae; a bark beetle) and western spruce budworm (WSB; Choristoneura freemani; a defoliator). MPB outbreaks have received...

One of the most significant challenges faced by hydrogeologic modelers is the disparity between the spatial and
temporal scales at which fundamental flow, transport, and reaction processes can best be understood and quantified
(e.g., microscopic...

This study investigated the effects of visual cues, muscular fatigue, task performance and experience of working on inclined
surfaces on activity of postural muscles in the lower limbs associated with maintaining balance on three inclined surfaces...

The most commonly encountered plant-parasitic nematodes in eastern Washington Vitis vinifera vineyards are Meloidogyne
hapla, Mesocriconema xenoplax, Pratylenchus spp., Xiphinema americanum, and Paratylenchus sp.; however, little is known about...

Chronic heavy alcohol consumption is a risk factor for cortical bone fractures in males. The increase in fracture
risk may be due, in part, to reduced bone quality. Intracortical (osteonal) bone remodeling is the principle
mechanism for...

The isothiocyanate sulforaphane is a promising molecule for development as a therapeutic agent for patients with metastatic
prostate cancer. Sulforaphane induces apoptosis in advanced prostate cancer cells, slows disease progression in vivo and is...

Plant invasion and restoration outcomes
are largely driven by the timing and magnitude of seed
dispersal, and by the performance of dispersed species
in an environment. Because seed dispersal controls
recruitment of newly arriving species and...

Dysregulation of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling has been implicated in glioma pathogenesis. Yet, the role of this pathway
in gliomagenesis remains controversial because of the lack of relevant animal models. Using the cytokeratin 5 promoter, we...

Widespread habitat degradation and uncharacteristic fire, insect, and disease outbreaks in forests across
the western United States have led to highly publicized calls to increase the pace and scale of forest restoration.
Despite these calls, we...

Although the importance of the face in communication is well-known, there has been little discussion of the ramifications for those who lack facial expression: individuals with facial paralysis such as Bell’s palsy and Möbius syndrome, and facial...

Caribbean coral reefs have deteriorated substantially over the past 30 years, which
is broadly attributable to the effects of global climate change. In the same time,
Indo-Pacific reefs maintain higher coral cover and typically recover rapidly...

BACKGROUND: Exocytosis is integral to root growth: trafficking components of systems that control growth (e.g., PIN
auxin transport proteins) to the plasma membrane, and secreting materials that expand the cell wall to the
apoplast. Spatiotemporal...

ScholarsArchive@OSU (SA@OSU) has stood as Oregon State University’s institutional
repository for nearly a decade, and has seen a great deal of success, by many metrics,
as such. Over that time period, the mission, content types, and stakeholders...

OBJECTIVE: Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care (MTFC) has been found to reduce delinquency among girls in juvenile justice through 2-year follow-up. Given that such girls are at elevated risk for suicide and depression into adulthood, we tested...
