Oregon Sea Grant

Study of the distribution and abundance of two non-native beach grasses: European beach grass and American beach grass, their interaction with one another, and their biotic and physical impacts on dune ecosystems of the Pacific coast of North America.

A look at the global decline in estuarine and coastal ecosystems.

Analyses of the progressive multidecadal trends and climate-controlled annual variations in mean sea levels are presented for nine tide-gauge stations along the coast of the U.S. Pacific Northwest.

The primary objective was extending knowledge of major crop rotations and stand establishment conditions present in 4800 grass seed fields surveyed over three years in western Oregon to the entire Willamette Valley.

Analyses based on gene sequence and gene content indicate a close phylogenetic relationship to the 'photosynthetic' marine cyanomyophages infecting Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus.

This article examines a tool for documenting visitors' motivations at zoos, aquariums, and other informal education settings and compares motivations for visiting across three informal education sites.

Redband trout migrations were tracked in the Donner und Blitzen River, Oregon, USA, using radio telemetry and PIT tags.

To investigate if KHV genomic DNA is present in koi exposed to KHV infection, 10 healthy fish were investigated from a koi population with a history of KHV outbreak.

Feeding selectivity was compared between slimy sculpin Cottus cognatus and deepwater sculpin Myoxocephalus thompsonii to evaluate the hypothesis that differential prey selection contributes to long-term coexistence of these species.

This study suggests that KHV may become latent in leukocytes and other tissues, that it can be reactivated from latency by temperature stress, and that it may be more widespread in the koi population than previously suspected.
