Dental Evolution Of The Meadow Vole In Mainland, Peninsular, And Insular Environments In Southern New England, Gordon K. Weddle, Jerry R. Choate
Fort Hays Studies Series
Accordingly, the objectives of this study were: 1) to compare the extent of variability (both quantitative and qualitative) in the dentitions of populations of Microtus inhabiting mainland, penisular, and insular environments; 2) to identify some of the selective forces that affect mainland and maritime populations of Microtus; 3) to examine Guthrie's hypothesis regarding the relationship between intensity of selection and variation.
Annotated List Of Diatoms Reported From Kansas, Mark E. Eberle
Annotated List Of Diatoms Reported From Kansas, Mark E. Eberle
Fort Hays Studies Series
This annotated list has been prepared to organize all of the available information in the literature on the diatoms of Kansas. The literature also has been reviewed to briefly summerize the history of research on diatoms in the state.
A History And Distributional List Of Ellis County, Kansas, Birds, Charles A. Ely
A History And Distributional List Of Ellis County, Kansas, Birds, Charles A. Ely
Fort Hays Studies Series
This paper marks a century of Ornithology in Ellis County most of it centered around Hays and Ellis. This paper is an attempt to collect the scattered observations of numerous birders and to encourage others to record their observations for posterity.
Invertebrate Fauna And Environment Of Deposition Of The Niobrara Formation (Cretaceous) Of Kansas, Halsey W. Miller
Invertebrate Fauna And Environment Of Deposition Of The Niobrara Formation (Cretaceous) Of Kansas, Halsey W. Miller
Fort Hays Studies Series
This paper reevaluates, and where desirable, synonymizes species. Previously unrecorded species are described and illustrated. The environment of the Niobrara Formation in Kansas is described. The author collected specimens in Scott, Logan, Gove, Trego, Rooks and Phillips Counties, Kansas.
Soil-Vegetation Relationships Of A Blue Shale-Limy Upland Range Site In Ellis County, Kansas, Larry D. Zavesky
Soil-Vegetation Relationships Of A Blue Shale-Limy Upland Range Site In Ellis County, Kansas, Larry D. Zavesky
Fort Hays Studies Series
The objective of this study was to determine the soil-vegetation relationships of a blue shale-limy upland range site. Vegetative composition and production were determined for each soil within the range site. Some of the more important physical and chemical properties, such as texture, depth of development, and general fertility, were determined for each soil.
Mammalian Distribution Within Biotic Communities Of Northeastern Jewell County, Kansas, Kenneth W. Andersen, Eugene D. Fleharty
Mammalian Distribution Within Biotic Communities Of Northeastern Jewell County, Kansas, Kenneth W. Andersen, Eugene D. Fleharty
Fort Hays Studies Series
The purpose of this investigation was threefold. First, to obtain as complete a list as possible of mammals occuring in the area through collecting and observational procedures. Second, to determine their specific distribution within the study area, and third, to correlate and elucidate the relationships between their distribution and the major vegetational regions within the study area.

A Preliminary Survey Of The Algae Of Cheyenne Bottoms In Kansas, Henry J. Mcfarland, Edward A. Brazda, Ben H. Mcfarland
Fort Hays Studies Series
The purpose of this study was to classify and describe some of the algae of Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Refuge, Barton County, Kansas. The general geographic location is northeast of Great Bend, Kansas. A natural basin has been converted by dikes into a group of pools. The study was made over a two year period starting in May, 1960.
Dry-Plains Conservation: An Activity Or Experimental Method Of Teaching Soil And Water Conservation In Southwestern Dry-Plains Natural Science Classrooms., David W. Pierson
Dry-Plains Conservation: An Activity Or Experimental Method Of Teaching Soil And Water Conservation In Southwestern Dry-Plains Natural Science Classrooms., David W. Pierson
Fort Hays Studies Series
This paper is an attempt to provide teachers in the dry-plains regions with certain concepts and techniques believed to be of value in assisting students to develop an understanding of the uniqueness of their environment. While most of the activities, experiments, and demonstrations were first organized for a biology class, many of them should be suitable for use in other classes which involve the natural sciences.

Euphthiracaroidea Of California Sequoia Litter: With A Reclassification Of The Families And Genera Of The World (Acarina: Oribatei), Neil A. Walker
Fort Hays Studies Series
The specimens on which this study is based were collected in litter under both the coast redwood, Sequoia sempervirens Endlicher, and Sierra redwood, S. gigantea Decaisne. The results of this study are the taxonomic discrimination of the speicies of each redwood region.
