Prioritizing Seafloor Mapping for Washington’s Pacific Coast

Remote sensing systems are critical tools used for characterizing the geological and ecological composition of the seafloor. However, creating comprehensive and detailed maps of ocean and coastal environments has been hindered by the high cost of operating ship- and aircraft-based sensors. While a number of groups (e.g., academic research, government resource management, and private sector) are...

HTLV-I associated myelopathy: an endemic disease of Canadian aboriginals of the Northwest Pacific coast?

Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-I) is responsible for HTLV-I associated myelopathy or tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) and for adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL). Both diseases have been well described in individuals living in Japan, West Indies, Seychelles Islands and Columbia where infection with HTLV-I is considered endemic and in persons whose descendants originated fr...

Ctenophores from the Oaxaca coast, including a checklist of species from the Pacific coast of Mexico.

Ctenophores are poorly known in the tropical eastern Pacific, including the southern coast of Mexico. Previous records of ctenophores along the Pacific coast have been provided mainly from northern waters. For the coast of Oaxaca state, their occurrence has only been mentioned before at phylum level. In this paper, we provide the first three records of ctenophores for the Oaxacan coast, which r...

Chemical Study of Several Marine Mollusks of the Pacific Coast.*

The marine invertebrate forms of animal life have not often been the subject of chemical investigation. Lacking, as a class, the greater freedom of movement and the more highly organized nervous and circulatory systems which the possession of a bony skeleton allows, these forms, in general, are more sluggish in their metabolic activities, less responsive to chemical influences, and less attract...
