The coastlines of Oregon and Washington take many different forms: sandy beaches, rocky headlands, marshy flats, and swampy tidal forests of salt-tolerant Sitka spruce. These tidal swamps were once the primary type of coastal wetland in Oregon, but development since European settlement has destroyed more than 90% of that original habitat. The loss has been consequential ecologically (especially for coastal salmon habitat), but a hidden significance of these wetland losses is now coming into focus.

When people have strokes or heart disease, it’s often a sign that blood (and by default oxygen) isn’t getting to the places it should in the body. If doctors don’t intervene quickly enough, the oxygen-starved cells start to die off, often leading to permanent damage, disability or even death. Researchers at Oregon Heath and Science University are working on a way to buy valuable time for people having strokes or heart attacks.

Baleen whales are among the largest creatures in the ocean, but that doesn’t mean they’re safe from other animals. A pod of orcas can take a giant baleen whale down, and these filter-feeders are particularly vulnerable when they have calves. New research from University of Washington marine scientist Trevor Branch has revealed a defense mechanism some baleen whales appear to use to protect themselves against attack.
