Symposium O Koroptvi / Symposium On Partridge: Výzkumný Űstav Lesniho Hospodářství A Myslivosti Československý Myslivecký Svaz, Czechoslovak Forestry And Game Management Research Institute, Czechoslovak Hunting Union

Galliformes Specialist Group and Affiliated Societies: Conference Proceedings

English abstract

The Symposium on Partridge was organized by the Forestry and Czechoslovak Game Management Research Institute and the Czechoslovak Hunting Union and held in Prague, Czechoslovakia in October 1965. Participants in the symposium were specialists and scientific workers from Czechoslovakia and some scientists from abroad. There were two major themes: 1. the present state of partridge research and 2. conservation issues, including the problems and prospects of partridge stocks.

Papers concerned biology of partridges, ecology, population dynamics, migration, nestng, food, influence of predators, health, helminths, gapes, hemogram, rearing of partridges, rearing of chicks, penning, wintering in pens, protection during …


Studies Of Annual Abundance Of Postlarval Penaeid Shrimp In The Estuarine Waters Of Mississippi, As Related To Subsequent Commercial Catches, J.Y. Christmas, Gordon Gunter, Patricia Musgrave Jan 1966

Studies Of Annual Abundance Of Postlarval Penaeid Shrimp In The Estuarine Waters Of Mississippi, As Related To Subsequent Commercial Catches, J.Y. Christmas, Gordon Gunter, Patricia Musgrave

Gulf and Caribbean Research

Several workers and several lines of evidence have shown that the shrimp life cycle is very short, probably about 15 to 16 months, for the very small fraction reaching the largest adult size. Additionally, a great deal of commercial fishing is carried out upon sub-adult populations within the bays and shallow Gulf. In fact most shrimp that are caught have never spawned. These shrimp grow up within one warm season and they are derived from larvae which make their way to inside waters from the offshore spawning areas. Thus, it has been surmised for a long time that prediction of …


A Study Of The Vertical And Horizontal Migrations Of Euzonus (Thoracophelia) Mucronata (Treadwell) 1914, On Pacific Coast Beaches With Regard To Environmental Factors, Arthur Bright Eikenberry Jan 1966

A Study Of The Vertical And Horizontal Migrations Of Euzonus (Thoracophelia) Mucronata (Treadwell) 1914, On Pacific Coast Beaches With Regard To Environmental Factors, Arthur Bright Eikenberry

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Historical. General descriptions of intertidal zonation have been published by many workers for almost all littoral areas, both marine and lacustrine (Doty, 1957; Glynn, 1965; Hedgpeth, 1957; Lewis, 1964; Pennak, 1951). The fact that animal species of the sandy shore are few in number eliminates many complex interspecific reactions, while great numbers of individuals make population studies feasible. In addition to certain general works (Dahl, 1952; Pirrie et al., 1932; Yonge, 1950) a number of papers have discussed causative factors or mechanisms for animal zonation.


Survey Of The Fishes Of Tomales Bay With Notes On The Life History Of The White Seaperch, Phanerodon Furcatus Girard, Tapan Banerjee Jan 1966

Survey Of The Fishes Of Tomales Bay With Notes On The Life History Of The White Seaperch, Phanerodon Furcatus Girard, Tapan Banerjee

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Tomales Bay is situated in Marin County, about 40 miles north-west of San Francisco. This shallow bay averages about 1.5 miles in width and is about 12.6 miles in length, with an average depth of 12 feet (Johnson, Bryant and Hedgpeth, 1961). Oyster and herring comprise the main fishing industry, although the bay contributes a great amount of perch, smelt, halibut, and shark. Gill and seine nets are the most common gear used by fishermen.

The primary objectives of this study were: (1) to determine the species composition of the bay, and the relation between seining success at different localities …

Inheritance Of Behavioral Characters In F2 Mallard X Pintail (Anas Platyrhynchos L. X Anas Acutas L.) Hybrids, Roger S. Sharpe, Paul A. Johnsgard Jan 1966

Inheritance Of Behavioral Characters In F2 Mallard X Pintail (Anas Platyrhynchos L. X Anas Acutas L.) Hybrids, Roger S. Sharpe, Paul A. Johnsgard

Paul Johnsgard Collection

The present study was undertaken to compare the inheritance of behavioral and morphological features of two closely related species of Anas, and to attempt to establish whether any significant degree of behavioral variation occurs in the second generation which could be attributed to these genetic processes.

Two closely related species of Anas, the Common Mallard (A. p. platyrhynchos) and the Common Pintail (A. a. acuta), were selected for study. Both species have been repeatedly hybridized in captivity (GRAY, 1958; PHILLIPS, 1915, 1921), and occasionally hybrids occur in the wild. MAYR (1963) has commented on the …

Seasonal Tolerance Of Citellus Tridecemlineatus, Citellus Lateralis, And The Laboratory Rat To Deprivation Of Drinking Water, Gary L. Bintz Dec 1965

Seasonal Tolerance Of Citellus Tridecemlineatus, Citellus Lateralis, And The Laboratory Rat To Deprivation Of Drinking Water, Gary L. Bintz

Biology ETDs

Season was investigated as a factor determining tolerance to deprivation of drinking water. Employing weight loss as a criterion, two hibernators, Citallus lateralis and C. tridecemlineatus, are more tolerant to water deprivation in any season than the laboratory rat, a non-hibernator. Both C. lateralis and C. tridecemlineatus are more tolerant to water deprivation and fall than in summer. In general, bold species demonstrate greater tolerance to water deprivation as ambient temperature decreases (in the range of 27 to 21 C ). Season appears to have no effect upon tolerance to water deprivation in the laboratory rat.

During periods of water …

Factors Affecting Nesting Success Of The Canvasback In The Aspen Parklands, Jerome H. Stoudt Dec 1965

Factors Affecting Nesting Success Of The Canvasback In The Aspen Parklands, Jerome H. Stoudt

United States Geological Survey, Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center: Publications

The Minnedosa study area is located in the southwestern portion of Manitoba just south of the town of Minnedosa. It is 90 square miles in size and roughly square in shape. The Aspen Parkland, in which the study area is located, is characterized by gently rolling terrain and black soils. Mixed farming is the rule with emphasis on small grain production consisting of wheat, barley, and oats. Roughly 50 percent of the water areas in the parkland are ringed with aspen, Populus tremuloides, and large blocks of aspen are interspersed throughout the area. The Minnedosa area differs because of …

Relationship Between Measures Of Semen Quality And Fertility In Bulls Mated Under Natural Conditions, J. N. Wiltbank, W. W. Rowden, J. E. Ingalls Dec 1965

Relationship Between Measures Of Semen Quality And Fertility In Bulls Mated Under Natural Conditions, J. N. Wiltbank, W. W. Rowden, J. E. Ingalls

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

An evaluation of the relationship between several measures of semen quality and fertility of bulls mated under natural conditions has been conducted over a three-year period. Semen was collected three different times with an electro-ejaculator from bulls used in the fertility tests. Collections were made at weekly intervals. Fertility was evaluated by mating bulls to heifers starting about three days after the last collection. Semen quality refers to the percent abnormals and the percent motility evaluated at the time of collection. Fertility was measured by the proportion of heifers that settled at natural service. Several multiple regression equations were calculated. …
