Content appearing includes timely news and feature stories from broadcast, print and online sources. Occasionally, opinion pieces and first-person columns appearing in mainstream media outlets that are written by faculty members and pertain to their academic or professional expertise may be included based on their unique, informative value, timeliness and space constraints.

"It's a big day," said PacWave chief scientist Burke Hales (Oregon State University). "We've been waiting to get started for a long time so we're feeling pretty excited about this."
The research, with contributions from scientists with the New England Aquarium, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and Oregon State University, indicated that a prime reason for the animals’ recent stunted growth is entanglement in rope and fishing gear.
This isn’t the first study to suggest that the ability to follow human social cues like pointing might have a genetic basis. But, according to Monique Udell, a psychologist studying human-animal interactions at Oregon State University who was not involved in this research, this study is the first to show, with a large group of dogs and with known levels of relatedness between them, that the animals don’t have to acquire these traits through learning and that some forms of social cognition do indeed have a substantial genetic component.
To get you started or to increase your repertoire of sustainable practices, consider these suggestions by Oregon State University Extension Service horticulturists.
Even before the pandemic, all 36 counties in the state were considered child care “deserts” for children ages 2 and under, according to a report from Oregon State University. That means there are at least three children under the age of 2 for every available child care slot in the county. Twenty-five other counties qualified as child care deserts for children ages 3-5.
Bat encounters help fill in holes in basic information regarding species abundance and distribution – gaps that impede conservation – and the proof-of-concept study’s design suggests it could be scaled up to larger areas in Oregon and around the globe. “We’re really happy with the approach and think it has legs,” said Tom Rodhouse, a courtesy faculty member of Oregon State University’s College of Agricultural Sciences who led the project along with Sara Rose, Trent Hawkins and Rogelio Rodriguez.
The warming climate means snow on Oregon's famous peaks melts earlier, leaving soil and vegetation parched by late summer even if it does rain, said Erica Fleishman, director of the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute at Oregon State University.
Pollinators: Theresa Hogue, editor of OSU Today, says, "These electric blue penstemon light up the back cottage garden and, like all penstemon, are also great for pollinators, including hummingbirds. They also attract puppies." If you'd like to share your garden pics, send them to [email protected] and include a little information about the scene.
