The Effect Of Insect Damage On Indian Ricegrass (Oryzopsis Hymenoides) In Western Utah, Luis S. Guerra
The Effect Of Insect Damage On Indian Ricegrass (Oryzopsis Hymenoides) In Western Utah, Luis S. Guerra
Theses and Dissertations
Indian ricegrass at the Desert Range Experiment Station forty-seven miles west of Milford, Utah, is damaged by the larvae of Coenchroa illibella, Diatrae sp. and Typoceris ceraticornis, the latter being the most destructive. The biology of the insects and the extent of damage inflicted are discussed. Uninfested plants produced more new stems than infested plants. Plants having a basal diameter of 4 to 6.9 cm and 7 to 9.9 cm were the most frequently infested and, consequently, the most severely damaged.
Observations On The Hibernation Of Culex Tarsalis Coquillett In Utah Valley, Utah, Dennis W. Trent
Observations On The Hibernation Of Culex Tarsalis Coquillett In Utah Valley, Utah, Dennis W. Trent
Theses and Dissertations
Culex tarsalis Coquillett is a common evening pest mosquito throughout the summer in most of temperate Western North America. Present evidence indicates this mosquito as the principal naturally infected vector of western equine encephalomyeltic (WEE) viruses. Certain interrelationships of WEE epidemiology and tarsalis bionomics are basically understood; however, in areas where winters are severe little is know of tarsalis hibernation, and the survival mechanism for WEE viruses in unknown. The purpose of this study, conducted from 1 September 1959 to 20 May 1960, was to gather ecological information on the hibernation of Culex tarsalis in Utah Valley, and secondly to …
Bionomics Of Culex Tarsalis Coquillett In Utah County, Stanley K. Taylor
Bionomics Of Culex Tarsalis Coquillett In Utah County, Stanley K. Taylor
Theses and Dissertations
This paper presents information concerning the bionomics of Culex tarsalis Coquillett in Utah County. Observations indicate that rock piles and talus slides are typical hibernation sites. The spring emergence from hibernation occurred between 28 March and 7 April 1959. Larvae breed in a great variety of habitats, including street-gutters, animal tracks, marshes and waste water from irrigation systems. The peak population density for both larvae and adults occurred during the first week in August. Charts, graphs, drawings and photographs are used in the presentation of data.
A Study Of The Families Of Utah Hemiptera, Gerald L. Nielsen
A Study Of The Families Of Utah Hemiptera, Gerald L. Nielsen
Theses and Dissertations
This study determines the number of families of Hemiptera found in the state and has a key for their classification. The characteristics and general distributions of each family are given, along with specific examples of the most common and economically important bugs. Important references are given for each family of work done to date. It was found that there have been twenty-eight families of Hemiptera collected in Utah, some of which are well represented in numbers of genera, species, and individuals, while others are represented by a single species and collected in only one or two places in the state.
A Taxonomic Study Of The Adult Mosquitoes Of Utah County With Notes On The Biology And Distribution Of The More Common Species 1946-1947, Cluff E. Hopla
A Taxonomic Study Of The Adult Mosquitoes Of Utah County With Notes On The Biology And Distribution Of The More Common Species 1946-1947, Cluff E. Hopla
Theses and Dissertations
In Utah County, information has been lacking concerning the taxonomy and distribution of mosquitoes. With the knowledge of this condition, it is felt that information can be presented which will be of value both to the scienoe of Entomology and the area concerned.
A Further Study Of Utah Asilidae, D. Elmer Johnson
A Further Study Of Utah Asilidae, D. Elmer Johnson
Theses and Dissertations
This study is based on a similar study made by Claudeous J. D. Brown in 1928, and published in 1929. The species he used have been rechecked, and additional ones have been studied. The species considered in this study represent three of the four subfamilies of North American Asilidae. These three subfamilies are Dasypogoninae, Laphriinae, and Asilinae. This study is limited to those species in the Brigham Young University Collections, and to species recorded in print. No claim is here made that all the forms inhabiting the state have been discovered, in fact the writer is well aware of the …
