Wolves And Bears: An Interdisciplinary Activity Guide For Grades 3-5, Susan L. Thomas
Wolves And Bears: An Interdisciplinary Activity Guide For Grades 3-5, Susan L. Thomas
All Graduate Projects
A popular set of "Discovery Boxes" are used by educators across North Central Washington. These boxes are administered by the U.S. Forest Service and focus on such themes as wolves, bears, fire, plants and forests. These boxes are available to be checked out to educators for two-week periods, and reach approximately 9,000 students annually. Each box contains "hands-on" props which enhance the learning of each theme. Some of the boxes have activity guides in them to assist the educator in teaching the theme and thus using the box to its full potential. Two of the most popular boxes, the wolf …
Observations On The Reproductive Biology Of Gerbillus Dasyurus (Wagner, 1842) (Mammalia: Rodentia) In Turkey, Ercüment Çolak, Mustafa Sözen, Nuri̇ Yi̇ği̇t, Şaki̇r Özkurt
Observations On The Reproductive Biology Of Gerbillus Dasyurus (Wagner, 1842) (Mammalia: Rodentia) In Turkey, Ercüment Çolak, Mustafa Sözen, Nuri̇ Yi̇ği̇t, Şaki̇r Özkurt
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The reproductive data along with some ecological observations of Gerbillus dasyurus are reported based on field studies and investigations in captivity. The findings indicate that the favorable habitat of G. dasyurus is rocky areas with sparse vegetated soil and that the reproduction period extends from January to September. According to the reproductive data, the average weight at birth is 2.22 g., litter size ranges from 3 to 9, with an average of 5.66, a female gives three litters during a reproduction period. The eyes and ears also open at 16 days, weaning takes place at 32 days, and they become …
The Taxonomy And Ecology Of Mauremys Caspica Rivulatavalenciennes, 1833 (Testudinata: Bataguridae) And Testudo Graeca Ibera Pallas, 1811 (Testudinata: Testudinidae) On Resadiye (Datça) Peninsula, Cemal Varol Tok
Turkish Journal of Zoology
In this survey, the tortoise and turtle fauna of Resadiye (Datça) Peninsula, which has not previously been studied in detail, is given. Mauremys caspica rivulata and Testudo graeca ibera specimens were collected as museum material or released after their measurements were taken, from four and nine localities respectively, establishing the status of the peninsula's testudine fauna. A total of 30 adult and eight juvenile specimens were studied morphologically. Observations on the ecological and biological characteristics of the testudines are also given.
Patella Species (Archaeogastropoda) Distributed In Saros Bay (Northest Aegean Sea), Bi̇lal Öztürk, Zeki̇ Ergen
Patella Species (Archaeogastropoda) Distributed In Saros Bay (Northest Aegean Sea), Bi̇lal Öztürk, Zeki̇ Ergen
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The present study has been carried out in order to determine the Patella species distributed in Saros Bay located on the northest of the Aegean Sea. For this purpose, 3 stations in the north and 3 stations in the south of the bay were chosen and a total of 340 specimens were collected from the 6 stations. In each station, 2 m2 of sampling area was considered. As a result of the taxonomic examinations based on the radula teeth, the Patella genera was represented by three species (Patella caerulea, Patella ulyssiponensis and Patella rustica) in Saros Bay. It was determined …
A Morphological Investigation On The Anuran Species Of The Reşadiye (Datça) Peninsula (Anura: Bufonidae, Hylidae, Ranidae), Cemal Varol Tok
A Morphological Investigation On The Anuran Species Of The Reşadiye (Datça) Peninsula (Anura: Bufonidae, Hylidae, Ranidae), Cemal Varol Tok
Turkish Journal of Zoology
In this survey the amphibian fauna of Reşadiye (Datça) Peninsula, which has not been studied in detail so far, is given. No urodelan species has been encountered during the present work; but the presence of four different species belonging to three anuran families is established. Bufo bufo, Bufo viridis, Hyla arborea and Rana ridibunda specimens were collected from two, five, three and six different localities respectively, establishing the status of the peninsula's anura fauna. A total of 125 adult and two juvenile specimens were studied morphologically. Some observations on the ecological and biological characteristics of the anurans are also given.
On The Lizards Of The Reşadiye (Datça)Peninsula, Cemal Varol Tok
On The Lizards Of The Reşadiye (Datça)Peninsula, Cemal Varol Tok
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Eleven species from six families of lizards have been found in the Reşadiye (Datça)Peninsula between the years 1990-1993.In this survey the morphological characteristics such as pholodisis,color-pattern and body measurements and ratios have been investigated.Systematic positions the species of which we have a sufficient number of samples were more accurate in terms of morfhological characteristics. Besides,the biological and ecological information on the species were also given.
A Spatial And Temporal Analysis Of Riparian Vegetation Along Satus Creek On The Yakama Indian Reservation, Kathryn Gellenbeck
A Spatial And Temporal Analysis Of Riparian Vegetation Along Satus Creek On The Yakama Indian Reservation, Kathryn Gellenbeck
All Master's Theses
Satus Creek provides critical habitat for the Yakima River Basin steelhead. A diverse community of riparian vegetation is important for healthy fish habitat; vegetation changes can affect shade, cover, channel structure, water quality, and food availability. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze and illustrate riparian vegetation change, both temporally and spatially, along three separate reaches of Satus Creek. A Geographic Information Systems approach was applied to assess the vegetation change by comparing plant species composition and density on 1949 and 1995 aerial photographs. The GIS approach allowed patterns and trends in the vegetation to be identified. In less …
