Incidental bycatch in commercial fisheries has been identified as a threat to
black-footed albatrosses (Phoebastria nigripes) and Laysan albatrosses (P.
immutabilis). Effective long-term conservation of these albatrosses necessitates a
thorough...

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,...

The Sultanate of Oman has 1700 km of coastline extending from the Arabian Gulf
south to the Arabian Sea. The demersal fish distributions and assemblages have not previously
been well defined. In winter, variations in the oceanography of the area...

Plecoptera were collected from four sampling stations selected
to represent a range of conditions on Oak Creek, a small woodland
stream originating in the foothills of the Oregon Coast Range. The
elevation of Site I was 700 ft. while the lowest...

Understanding local and geographic factors influencing species distributions is a prerequisite for conservation
planning. Our objective in this study was to model local and geographic variability in elevations occupied by native
and nonnative...

A study was conducted on German velvetgrass (Holcus mollis L.), a weedy, rhizomateous perennial grass introduced in the
United States in relatively recent years, The purpose of this study
was to learn more about its distribution, growth habits,...

Climate change is expected to change the distribution of species. For long-lived, sessile
species such as trees, tracking the warming climate depends on seedling colonization of
newly favorable areas. We compare the distribution of seedlings and...

Distribution of lichens was studied at seven coastal dune sites in
Oregon. Lichens were sampled in the dry stable, dry meadow,
meadow, rush meadow, marsh, shrub and forest deflation plain communities.
Observations were made of the standing water...

The patterns of uptake, retention, and tissue distribution of
⁹⁵mTc in two freshwater species, the crayfish Pacifastacus
leniusculus and the snail Juga silicula have been investigated. The
animals were chronically exposed in water to which sodium...

During 1966, 1967, and 1968 extensive field investigations were
carried out in Mount Rainier National Park. These included continuous
research during the summer months, and weekend activities
during the winter months. Small mammals were trapped...

Arthropod communities in pear are conceptualized as hierarchically
organized systems in which several levels of organization or subsystems
can be recognized between the species population level and the community
