Distribution of three rorqual whale species off Oregon coast
This study generated density models to describe and predict seasonal distribution of rorqual whales in Oregon.
Effects of vessel traffic and ocean noise on gray whale stress hormones
To understand the physiological impacts of vessel traffic on baleen whales, researchers investigated the adrenal stress response of gray whales to variable vessel traffic levels through an assessment of fecal glucocorticoid metabolite concentrations.
Emotion in Informal Learning as Mediated Action
Researchers provide examples of how and why a mediated action approach to emotion as a social, distributed, interactional and discursive phenomenon may be helpful as an aspect of informal learning and exhibit design.
Entanglement of Steller Sea Lions in Marine Debris
Black rubber bands were the most common neck-entangling material, followed by plastic packing bands.
Freshwater mussel populations in Pacific Coast Watersheds
