Notulae Orthopterologicae Xxi - Le Dolichopoda Della Francia E Della Spagna, Baccio Baccetti

International Journal of Speleology

The revision of French-Iberian Dolichopoda has led to the identification of four different species of Dolichopoda s. str. One of these (D. azami) seems to have a large geonomy in the French Alps and it had already been noticed in Italy, too. A second species (D. chopardi m.), still new to science, seems to be restricted to the Maritime Alps; the third and the fourth (D. linderi and D. bolivari), already well known, seem to be localized in the Pyrenees and the Cevennes. Owing to their morphological characters Dolichopoda azami and chopardi constitute a very …

Remarques Sur L'Espèce Asellus Cavaticus Leydig (Crustacé Isopode Hypogé) Et Description D'Une Sous-Espèce Nouvelle, Jean-Paul Henry

International Journal of Speleology

In Europe, Asellus cavaticus Leydig until 1963 was the only species known of a phyletic line that extended from Britain to Austria. Until the works of Racovitza in 1919 all the Asellus of the underground world were reported to this species, first known subterranean Asellus. The taxonomic criteria of Racovitza allowed to determine many subspecies. Later on Chappuis refuses to give names to the different encountered forms. Taking as type forms the individuals of the grotte de Sainte-Reine (Meurthe-et-Moselle), considered very similar to the original type forms, we think to be able to define a new subspecies puteanus for …

The Genus Arrhopalites (Collembola: Sminthuridae) In The United States And Canada, Kenneth Christiansen

International Journal of Speleology

The members of the genus Arrhopalites (Collembola Sminthuridae) found in the U.S. and Canada are described and illustrated. These include six previously described forms and seven new species: A. altus, A. clarus, A. bimus, A. bellingeri, A. dubius, A. hirtus, and A. amarus. Two forms known only from incomplete specimens are described, but not named. Nine of the species are found in caves, but only four of these are at present unknown from surface localities. The characteristics of the genus are described and discussed, and the genus Pseudarrhopalites Stach is placed in synonymy with Arrhopalites. New methods are …

Materialien Über Die Ökologie Und Biologie Von Sphaeromides Bureschi Strouhal, Angel Angelov

International Journal of Speleology

The acquatic cave Isopod Sphaeromides bureschi Strouhal was discovered by I. Buresch in the underground water of two caves in western Stara-Planina. In this paper the author describes a new station, a spring, in the same region and then exposes the results of ecological and biological observations on this species (biotope, temperature, sex-ratio, feeding regime, locomotion).

Three New Species Of Cymbella From Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, Sam L. Van Landingham

International Journal of Speleology

During an investigation of the diatom flora of Mammoth Cave, Kentucky three Cymbella species were noted which could not be identified with any yet described forms. This paper contains a taxonomic description of the three new species: Cymbella clausii, Cymbella gerloffii, Cymbella hohnii. A common feature of all three species is the rather broad central area which may have been the result of a special adaptation to the cave environment.

Contribution À La Systématique Des Stenasellinae D'Afrique (Crustacés, Asellotes), Guy Magniez

International Journal of Speleology

From 1897 to 1962, many species have been described as belonging to the genus Stenasellus Dollfus. Among all these the forms from Central Africa and one of Western Africa are not conform to the generic description of Racovitza 1924 obliging us to institute two new genera, Metastenasellus and Parastenasellus. The archaeic Asellota belong to the genus Stenasellus Dollfus, Johannella Monod, Metastenasellus nov.gen. and Parastenasellus nov. gen. are thus grouped in a sub family of Stenasellinae and the relationship between the different groups has still to be explained.

Ephemeropteren Und Plecopteren Aus Bulgarischen Höhlen, Boris K. Russev

International Journal of Speleology

The mayfly Ecdyonurus venosus (Fabr.) and the stonefly Perla marginata bureschi (Schoenemund) have been previously recorded from Bulgarian caves. The author has found the following additional species in the material collected by his colleagues in Bulgarian caves: Ephemeroptera - Habroleptoides modesta (Hagen), Paraleptophlebia tumida Bengtss. and Paraleptophlebia sp.; Plecoptera - Nemoura sp. and Dinocras cephalotes (Curtis). All these species are trogloxenes.

Nouvelles Contributions À L'Ètude De Bathynella (Bathynella) Natans Vejd. Et Bathynella (Antrobathynella) Stammeri (Jakobi), Eugène Serban

International Journal of Speleology

In an earlier paper the author separated Bathynella stammeri (Jakobi) (formerly considered a subspecies) from B. natans Vejd. sensu Jakobi and showed that this new species justified the erection of a new subgenus (Antrobathynella) of Bathynella. Study of the morphology of the mandible, and the 8th pereiopod of the male and female, and examination of the chaetotaxy of the uropods have revealed new diagnostic characters which permit the unequivocal separation of B. natans and B. stammeri. A diagnosis of both species is given. The present study is the result of examination of numerous specimens from many …

Pelodrilus Bureschi Mich. 1924 (Oligochaeta Haplotaxidae Dans Les Grottes Du Banat (Roumanie), Francise Botea, Lazare Botoşaneanu

International Journal of Speleology

Pelodrilus bureschi Mich., one of two species of limicolous oligochaetes strictly confined to a subterranean environment and previously known from several caves in Bulgaria and Yugoslavia, was recently found in three caves in the Banat Mountains, Romania. Examination of sexually mature worms showed that they are within the range of variability of P. bureschi and that there is no reason to describe a form peculiar to the caves of Banat. Pelodrilus has almost always been found in the mud or clay covering the bottom of pools of variable size, which are filled by periodic flooding of underground water courses. The …

Cenozoic And Recent Lunulitiform Bryozoans Of The Gulf And Atlantic Coasts, Ronald Greeley

Doctoral Dissertations

"Free, cup-shaped colonies of cheilostomatous bryozoans, equipped with vibracula, are termed lunulitiform bryozoans. This group is found in sandy and calcareous Cenozoic deposits of the Gulf and Atlantic Coastal Plains. Cupuliform bryozoans are taxonomically distinct from, but in many ways similar to, lunulitiform bryozoans; the two groups are frequently found together.

Known lunulitiform genera of the Gulf and Atlantic Coastal Plains are diagnosed and their species described: Lunulites Lamarck, fifteen species, one new; Oligotresium Gabb and Horn, six species, two new; Discoporella d'Orbigny, two species; Cupuladria Canu and Bassler, two species; Selenaria Busk, one species; Otionella Canu and Bassler, four …

Surficial Geology Of The Southern Half Of Griggs County, North Dakota, James C. Merritt

Theses and Dissertations

The southern half of Griggs County, in east-central North Dakota, lies entirely within the Young Drift section of the Central Lowlands physiographic province and is characterized by its undulating surface and nonintegrated drainage. The Kensel, Cooperstown, and Luverne phase of a Late Wisconsinan glaciation are largely responsible for the present appearance of the surface. The tills deposited during glacial stillstands cannot yet be differentiated by texture or X-ray diffreaction analyses, but the average shale pebble content of Kensel till is 16% higher than Cooperstown till.

Synthesis of Pleistocene history is based on the distribution of lithostratigraphic units and glacial geomorphic …

Geology Of Copper-Lead-Zinc-Turquoise Deposits, Southern Part Of The Cerrillos Mining District, Santa Fe County, New Mexico, William G. Gustafson

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

ABSTRACT

The southern part of the Cerrillos mining district is underlain by a sequence of igneous rocks which have been altered and mineralized. The rocks are intrusive equivalents of the Oligocene (?) Espinaso Volcanics. Four stages of intrusion are recognized. A hornblende monzonite porphyry stock was emplaced during stage T1. Several small hornblende­augite monzonite stocks intruded stage T1 rocks during stagesT2 and T3. During stage T4, stocks of augite-biotite monzonite, hornblende-biotite monzonite porphyry, and andesineaugite-biotite monzonite porphyry were intruded into the older igneous rocks. The stage T1, T2, and T3 stocks are flanked by sills and laccoliths.

Water Chemistry Survey Of Boulder Basin, Lake Mead, P. R. Tramutt, Bureau Of Reclamation

Publications (WR)

The survey results indicate that the impoundment of water behind Hoover Dam has not adversely affected the dissolved oxygen (DO) content and that water quality and DO content were uniform regardless of depth. The study made in April-May 1964 will provide water quality data of Lake Mead prior to releases from Lake Powell as a basis for evaluating Lake Powell's effect on water quality and limnology of Lake Mead. The performance of a DO analyzer was tested and found unsatisfactory at depths below 150 ft. Parameters tested by standard chemical analyses of water samples in the Denver Laboratory and by …

Conodonts Of The Mississippian System In The Sacramento Mountains, New Mexico, Robert C. Burton

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

Each formation of the Mississippian System in the Sacramento Mountains of New Mexico yields conodonts. Six distinctive conodont assemblages are recognized. The lowest assemblage coincides with the Caballero Formation (Kinderhook). Three distinct assemblages occur in the Lake Valley Formation (Osage). The Rancheria Formation (Meramec) and the Helms Formation (Meramec and Chester) also yield distinctive faunas. The assemblages correlate locally, regionally, and interregionally. The limestones and interbedded shales of the entire stratigraphic sequence were sampled continuously. The shale sequences were barren. The limestones yielded large, diversified, indigenous faunas. The lower part of the Lake Valley Formation contains Kinderhook and Osage species …

Effect Of Calcium Availability On Alfalfa Grown In Calcareous High Sodium Soils, Harry Irving Nightingale

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In soil science we shall always be confronted with reactions in soils that involve Ca. Early recognition of this led to experimentation in this area. Due to the fact that Ca deficiency is most common in acid soils, the majority of the experimentation has in the past been largely confined to acid soils and their soil-Ca-plant relationships. There has been relatively little research done with Ca and its availability problems associated with alkaline or sodic soils.
