The Effect Of Bilateral Adrenalectomy On The Electrocardiogram Of Meriones Unguiculatus, Jeff A. Brown
Honors Theses
The effects of adrenalectomy on the heart rate and electrical potentials of the heart of the Mongolian gerbil were studied (using an EKG) in an attempt to determine in hyperkalemia is the cause of its short survival time following adrenal ablation.

The Distribution Of The Ctenophore, Mnemiopsis Leidyi (A. Agassiz), In A Vertical Thermal Gradient, James J. Leder Iii
Honors Theses
The distribution of organisms in an estuary is affected by a plethora of environmental factors. The ctenophore, Mnemiopsis leidyi, is found to exists over a wide range of these factors, temperature and salinity in particular, allowing it to occupy the estuary year round and make use of low salinity areas unavailable to most marine organisms.

Description Of The Form Of Wing-Flashing Behavior In Northern Mockingbirds (Mimus Polyglottos), Lyn M. Harper, Kathryn J. Schneider
Honors Theses
The purpose of this study was to describe the form and location of wing-flashing behavior in mockingbirds and to identify differences in flashing between young and adult birds through film analysis techniques and observation. Subjects consisted of 50 mockingbirds from the University of Richmond campus. Analyses of the data suggested that there were three types of wing-flashes based on degree of wing extension. Flashes were most likely to occur in direct sunlight and in grass. No significant differences in the form of flashes between adult and juvenile mockingbirds were found. It is hoped that this study will provide insight into …
