Effects Of Metepa On Gametogenesis And Embryogenesis In The Large Milkweed Bug Oncopeltus Fasciatus (Dallas), Donald E. Lawson, Harold J. Ball

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Considerable research is currently being directed toward discovering means of controlling insects other than by applying insecticides. There are several promising concepts of control which minimize the use of insecticides and one of these is the use of sterilizing techniques. Some emphasis is currently being placed on the development of chemosterilant techniques. Many of the studies have been concerned with the screening of potentially active chemicals, whereas other research has dealt with the efficacy of field application. The more basic work has been accomplished through the participation of several disciplines. The purpose of this study was to characterize the effects …


A New Rhinoceros From The Nebraska Miocene, Lloyd G. Tanner Jan 1969

A New Rhinoceros From The Nebraska Miocene, Lloyd G. Tanner

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum

A new species of rhinoceros, Menoceras marslandensis, is here proposed. It is based upon a nearly complete skull from the upper part of the Marsland Formation, Hemingford Group (Miocene), of Box Butte County, Nebraska. The new species was probably derived from Menoceras arikarense (Barbour), collected from the Agate Springs Quarries (Arikaree Group, Harrison Formation) of Sioux County, Nebraska, with which both Diceratherium niobrarensis Peterson and D. cooki Peterson are likely synonymous. From Menoceras arikarense, the presumed ancestral stock, Menoceras marslandensis differs in possessing the following characters: (1) very long, fused but slightly cleft, nasals, with flattened, rugose areas …
