Notes On The Natural History Of The Sabellariid Polychaete Phragmatopoma Californica, Dean Ernest Griffin

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In the coves and crevices at Natural Bridges State Park, Santa Cruz, California, one can find large masses of worm tubes constructed of sand. These tube masses often cover areas of several square feet. The tubes are usually straight and packed together in large masses. The individual tubes are about one-fourth of an inch in diameter and may be up to two and one-half feet long. The worm responsible for these masses of tubes is a small polychaete, Phragmatopoma californica.

Very little work has been done on the natural history of local sabellarlids. It is therefore the purpose of this …

The Seasonal Cycle Of Abundance Of Echinococcus Multilocularis In Naturally Infected Arctic Foxes, Francis H. Fay, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

In some preliminary work on the ecology of Echinococcus multilocularis (Rudolphi, 1801) on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, Rausch and Schiller (1956. Parasitology, 46 (3 & 4): 395-419) noted that the percentage of arctic foxes, Alopex lagopus Linnaeus, harboring the adult cestodes seemed to vary annually in direct relation to the population density of tundra voles, Microtus oeconomus innuitus Merriam, the principal intermediate host. With the primary objective of examining this relationship in greater detail, an intensive, long-term ecologic investigation was begun on this island in 1955. Some of the results in the first 7 years are reported here.

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Since the late 1950's, American education has been undergoing a critical evaluation and review. This review has brought about some changes in emphasis and an upgrading in science curricula. The American Institute of Biological Sciences, supported by the National Science Foundation, accepted major responsibility for the field of biology and established the Biological Science Curriculum Study (BSCS). H. Bentley Glass., Chairman of BSCS, states: "The aim of the Biological Science Curriculum Study is to place biological knowledge in its fullest modem perspective. To accomplish this aim, a program of research, writing, testing, and evaluation was inaugurated.
