The TAR folder contains linguistic data in three formats: Database: This is the format allows for the most robust searches and allows for powerful JOINs across corpus, lexicon, and source tables but requires knowledge of SQL. See Full-text corpus data for more information on how to use the database format. Linear Text: This format provides a textID for each text, and then the entire text on the same line. In this format, words are not annotated for part of speech or lemma. In addition, contracted words like can\u27t are separated into two parts (ca n\u27t) and punctuation is separated from words (eye level . As her). Word, Lemma, Part of Speech: Texts are separated by a line with ## and the textID

Jerry was born in Corvallis, Oregon near the Willamette River. His family moved to Cheney where he grew up exploring the lakes, rivers and forests of the area. From a young age he was raised by wolves, trout, and herons along the Spokane River where they taught him to fish and hunt. He traveled each spring to fish for native Chinook salmon with his grandfather on the Willamette. Jerry has a long history of working to protect rivers in the Inland Northwest. As a former staff member of Save our Wild Salmon, Jerry advocated for the restoration and protection of native Snake River salmon and steelhead. He has worked for native trout as conservation chair and continues to volunteer for the Spokane Falls Chapter of Trout Unlimited as an Advisory Board Member. He loves to spend time on the Spokane River fly fishing for trout, rowing his drift boat, shooting one of his longbows or backcountry skiing on the very snow that feeds our River. Jerry has two kids and currently lives with his wife within earshot of the Spokane River
Histological Characterization of Larch Mountain Salamander (Plethodon larselli) Head Glands
Get PDFIn salamanders, successful reproduction requires communication. Most male salamanders communicate to the female during courtship via a gland on their chin, called the mental gland. The sexually dimorphic mental gland in the dermis of the lower jaw is typical in males of species in the family Plethodontidae and is considered ancestral to the family (Sever et al. 2016). The mental gland consists of an aggregate of modified granular glands (MGGs) that produce pheromones (Houck and Sever, 1994; Rupp and Sever, 2018). During courtship, pheromones secreted from mental glands are delivered to the female through head rubbing and biting (Houck and Sever, 1994; Picard, 2005; Arnold et al. 2017).
These pheromones increase female receptivity and are an integral part of courtship (Houck and Reagan, 1990; Fontana et al. 2007). Interestingly, males in some clades of Plethodontidae, including Plethodon larselli (Larch Mountain Salamander), lack mental glands (Crisafulli, 2008). This is an evolutionary puzzle–why would a fitness enhancing gland be lost?No research has explored the courtship behavior of P. larselli, and no histological studies have characterized their mental gland region. In this project, Periodic acid Schiff differential staining (Floyd, 1990: Rollins and Staub, 2017) was used to confirm the absence of mental courtship glands in P. larselli and explore the hypothesis that pheromone secreting tissue is located elsewhere on the head of P. larselli
