In Vivo Dose-Response Of Insects To Hz-2v Infection, John Burand, Christopher Rallis Jan 2004

In Vivo Dose-Response Of Insects To Hz-2v Infection, John Burand, Christopher Rallis

Microbiology Department Faculty Publication Series

Background Hz-2V infection of female Helicoverpa zea moths is manifested as insects that are either sterile "agonadal" individuals with malformed reproductive tissues or fertile asymptomatic carriers which are capable of transmitting virus on to their progeny. Virus infected progeny arising from eggs laid by asymptomatic carrier females may themselves be either sterile agonadals or asymptomatic carriers. Results By injecting virus into female moths, a correlation was established between virus doses administered to the females and the levels of resulting asymptomatic and sterile progeny. Conclusions The results of these experiments indicate that high virus doses produced a higher level of agonadal …

Food Hardness And Feeding Behavior In Old World Fruit Bats (Pteropodidae), Elizabeth R. Dumont, Reilly O'Neal Jan 2004

Food Hardness And Feeding Behavior In Old World Fruit Bats (Pteropodidae), Elizabeth R. Dumont, Reilly O'Neal

Biology Department Faculty Publication Series

Old World fruit bats (family Pteropodidae) are common throughout the Paleotropics, where they play an important ecological role as seed dispersers and pollinators. Although many regions host diverse assemblages of fruit bats, mechanisms of resource partitioning are only beginning to be documented. This study investigates the potential role of feeding behavior in patterns of resource use within a sympatric assemblage of pteropodids from Papua New Guinea. Individuals of Syconycteris australis, Dobsonia minor, Pteropus conspicillatus, Nyctimene albiventer, and Paranyctimene raptor were videotaped during feeding experiments designed to elicit shifts in feeding (biting) behavior by varying fruit hardness. Although significant variation …


Moropus Merriami In The Early Barstovian Lower Snake Creek Fauna Of Nebraska, With Comments On Biogeography Of North American Chalicotheres, Margery C. Coombs Jan 2004

Moropus Merriami In The Early Barstovian Lower Snake Creek Fauna Of Nebraska, With Comments On Biogeography Of North American Chalicotheres, Margery C. Coombs

Biology Department Faculty Publication Series

Moropus merriami Holland and Peterson (1914), an early Barstovian schizotheriine chalicothere from North America, is rediagnosed and redescribed on the basis of additional material. While originally recognized from the Virgin Valley and High Rock Canyon local faunas of northwest Nevada, M. merriami can also be identified from the Lower Snake Creek fauna preserved in the Olcott Formation of northwest Nebraska. It represents a derived species of Moropus in which the astragalus and metatarsals have become relatively broad and short. The large claw associated with digit II of the manus is laterally compressed, and proximal and middle phalanges of digit II …


Patterns Of Diversity In Cranial Shape Among Plant-Visiting Bats, Elizabeth R. Dumont Jan 2004

Patterns Of Diversity In Cranial Shape Among Plant-Visiting Bats, Elizabeth R. Dumont

Biology Department Faculty Publication Series

Adaptations to a plant-based diet have evolved in bats on two occasions — once in the Old World family Pteropodidae and again within the New World family Phyllostomidae. Although the skulls of all plant-visiting bats exhibit adaptations for relatively large eyes, enlarged brains, and reduced molar complexity, the skulls of bats from the two families look very different. The goals of this study are to pinpoint the fundamental differences in the cranial shape between pteropodids and plant-visiting phyllostomids and to investigate patterns of diversity in cranial shape within each lineage. Analyses are based on 19 size adjusted, linear variables collected …
