If this is your very first episode, just a few things. We swear a whole bunch in this; we swear in a lot of ‘em, most of ‘em. If you wish we didn’t, don’t freak out, there are bleeped episodes of the podcast available at AlieWard.com. I’ll put a link in the show notes. Moving the danged heck on. Okay so frickin’ toads. What are they? And are they the best or are they the worst? Are toads the unsung underdogs? Are they warty friends yet to be made? Or are they bastards? Do they belong in a heap of canceled beasts who don’t deserve our admiration? You’ll find out. But first, business, in which I thank everyone on Patreon.com/Ologies for their questions, for their patronhood, for making the show feasible and possible and just a joy to make. Also, thank you to everyone sporting Ologies merch from OlogiesMerch.com and everyone who just gets it and knows that making sure that you’re subscribed and rating the show helps us get seen by pre-ologites, people who don’t know about the show yet. Also, thanks to the kind folks who are leaving reviews, because you know that I read them when I’m in a hotel, eating gas station food, and they make my day.

PEEFACE Nearly thirty-nine years ago Dr M. C. Cooke published his " Manual,'' which reached a second edition nine years afterwards. Since then no botanic dictionary has been published in Britain, while during the period which has passed since then botany has undergone a momentous change. While systematic botany has been actively prosecuted, the other departments of morphology, physiology and minute anatomy have been energetically pursued by the help of improved appliances and methods of investigation. One result has been a large increase of technical terms, which are only partially accounted for in the various text-books. The time seemed therefore ripe for a new Glossary which should include these terms, and, encouraged by the help of many botanic friends, I have drawn up the present volume. After the work had been partly written, and announced for publication, Mr Crozier's " Dictionary " first came under my notice. I have consequently compared it with my manuscript, and inserted many words which had not come within my knowledge, or had been rejected by me, as will be seen by the acknowledgment in each case.

There are indications that the strong seasonal presence (late spring to early fall) of sand tigers in this area is a relatively new phenomenon as local fishermen claim that they had never seen this species in large numbers until recently. We utilized passive acoustic telemetry to monitor seasonal residency, habitat use, site fidelity, and fine scale movements of 35 sand tigers (79 – 120 cm fork length; age 0 - 1) in PKD Bay. Sharks were tracked within PKD Bay for periods of 5 – 88 days during September – October, 2008 and June – October, 2009. All movement data are currently being analyzed to quantify spatial and temporal habitat use, however, preliminary analyses suggest that sharks display a high degree of site fidelity to several areas of PKD Bay. Outside PKD Bay, we documented broader regional movements throughout New England. Collectively, these data demonstrate the that both PKD Bay and New England coastal waters serve as nursery and essential fish habitat (EFH) for neonatal and juvenile sand tiger sharks.

  • GRAPHIE by Cornelia D. Niles with INTRODUCTION and BOTANICAL
    A BIBLIOGRAPHIC STUDY OF BEAUVOIS' AGROSTO- • GRAPHIE By Cornelia D. Niles WITH INTRODUCTION AND BOTANICAL NOTES By Aones Chase nrntODTJCTiON The Essai d?une Nouvelle Agrostographie ; ou Nouveaux Genres des Graminees; avec figures representant les Oaracteres de tous les Genres, by A. M. F. J. Palisot de Beauvois, published in 1812, is, from the standpoint of the nomenclature of grasses, a very important work, its importance being due principally to its innumerable errors, less so because of its scientific value. In this small volume 69 new genera are proposed and some 640 new species, new binomials, and new names are published. Of the 69 genera proposed 31 are to-day recognized as valid, and of the 640 names about 61 are commonly accepted. There is probably not a grass flora of any considerable region anywhere in the world that does not contain some of Beauvois' names. Many of the new names are made in such haphazard fashion that they are incorrectly listed in the Index Kewensis. There are, besides, a number of misspelled names that have found their way into botanical literature. The inaccuracies are so numerous and the cita- tions so incomplete that only a trained bibliographer* could solve the many puzzles presented. Cornelia D. Niles in connection with her work on the bibliography of grasses, maintained in the form of a card catalogue in the Grass Herbarium, worked out the basis in literature of each of these new names. The botanical problems involved, the interpretation of descriptions and figures, were worked out by Agnes Chase, who is also respon- sible for the translation and summaries from the Advertisement, Introduction, and Principles.

  • Undergraduate Program
    Department of Botany and Plant Pathology Undergraduate Program Botany and Plant Pathology are concerned with the study of plants at all levels of biological organizaton, from molecular and cellular processes to the global ecosystem. This breadth of feld refects the wide range of issues and problems that confront plant biologists. In additon to addressing fundamental questons in plant biology, plant scientsts in the 21st century will be called upon to provide informaton useful for producing food, fber, and medicine for an increasing populaton, and for increasing our understanding of the diversity of plant and ecological systems and their interactons with humans. Students studying botany and plant pathology at OSU receive the basic science background necessary for such contributons, and may choose to focus in a partcular area within plant science. The undergraduate program in the Department of Botany and Plant Pathology is designed for students who wish to receive a B.S. degree in Botany and for students pursuing degrees in other felds that require a knowledge of plant biology. For example, students who have an undergraduate major in biology or environmental science may wish to emphasize botany courses in their upper division course work, or add a botany minor. Completon of the undergraduate curriculum in botany can qualify students for graduate work in various areas of plant biology and plant pathology, and for positons in state and federal agencies and industries concerned with plants and their products. Prospectve botany majors should obtain a strong background in the biological and physical sciences at the high school level. Specifcally recommended are a minimum of three years of high school mathematcs, including algebra, geometry, and some exposure to trigonometry; one year of physics; and courses designed to develop computer and writng skills.

  • About Natural Resources
    Natural Resources Undergraduate Advising Guide 2014-15 Forest Ecosystems & Society- College of Forestry - Oregon State University NOTE: This Advising Guide reflects the requirements for students who were admitted in the Summer of 2011 or later. Students who were admitted prior to Summer 2011 are under the requirements of the previous curriculum. They should obtain a copy of the old curriculum from their academic advisor. DISCLAIMER: Content in this guide is continually updated. Check the web catalog frequently for current course information at http://catalog.oregonstate.edu Revised 2.10.15 About Natural Resources Maintaining the integrity of the Earth’s ecosystems is a key challenge of the 21st century. Increasing human population continues to place greater demands on our natural resources. Students in the Natural Resources program at Oregon State University gain an understanding of complex biophysical, social, and cultural systems shaping natural resource management. The Natural Resources program is an interdisciplinary degree. The degree emphasizes a broad- based approach to the study of natural resources, providing students the opportunity to combine areas of particular interest and focus on topics not otherwise offered at the undergraduate level. With this degree program students will: study an interdisciplinary curriculum based in agricultural sciences, forestry, liberal arts, and science. learn about the social and political components of resource management. begin preparation for a career in agroforestry, forest ecosystem science, natural resource planning, human dimensions, natural resource policy analysis, watershed management, or other natural resources professions. Recent program graduates are working as natural resource specialists and planners with state and federal agencies, attending law school, training/working as teachers in K-12 education, and pursing graduate degrees in a variety of disciplines.
