Trees For Iraq From Homoclimates, Mouaffaq D. Yahya
Masters Theses
The method of Thornthwaite for classifying climate was applied to identify homoclimates for the three climatic types of Iraq, the mountain, the steppe, and the desert; all types are characterized by winter precipitation and summer drought. Data of mean monthly temperature and mean monthly precipitation were used in the identification of homoclimates. Potential evapotranspiration and moisture indices for the Iraqi stations were computed and six moisture provinces were recognized: Perhumid (A), Humid (B1), Moist subhumid (C2) and Dry subhumid (C1) in the mountain areas; Semiarid (D) in the foothill areas; Arid (E) in the …
Blood Parasites Of Squirrels From Coles And Lake Counties In Illinois, Nicholas I. Obiri
Blood Parasites Of Squirrels From Coles And Lake Counties In Illinois, Nicholas I. Obiri
Masters Theses
Hepatozoon and microfilariae are described from the blood of fox and gray squirrels captured in Coles and Lake Counties in Illinois during 1976 and 1977. The hepatozoon species is identified as Hepatozoon griseisciuri on the basis of parasite morphology and hosts. A higher rate of infection (35.7% : 11.1%) was observed in gray squirrels than in fox squirrels and more adults were infected than juveniles. No microfilariae were found in gray squirrels but fox squirrels had a 57.1% infection rate with no difference based on age. The observed microfilariae are similar to that described by Davidson from Maryland gray squirrels …

A Stream Survey Of Riley Creek, Coles County, Illinois, Using Macroinvertebrates As Indicators Of Organic Pollution, Joseph R. Rowe
Masters Theses
A stream survey of Riley Creek in Coles County Illinois, was undertaken to determine ecological trends and the qualitative status of the aquatic community throughout the course of the stream.
The survey encompassed the entire length of Riley Creek from the area of its status as an intermittant waterway to its confluence with Cassel Creek. Sampling periods included the months of April, May, June, July, October and November.
Macroinvertebrate collections were made at six locations along the stream approximately equidistant from each other. The organisms were assigned tolerance levels as designated by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.
