Mites Of The Family Laelapidae In Venezuela (Acarina: Laelapidae), Deane P. Furman Sep 1972

Mites Of The Family Laelapidae In Venezuela (Acarina: Laelapidae), Deane P. Furman

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

This publication presents the results of an extensive survey of symbiotic laelapid mites of vertebrates from Venezuela. Over 40,000 vertebrates were examined from a wide variety of life zones and localities. The laelapid fauna represented includes 1 new genus, Hymenolaelpas, and 7 genera previously described: Laelaps, Mysolaelaps, Tur, Steptolaelaps, Neoparalaelaps, Gigantolaelaps, and Androlaelaps. The genera are represented by 51 species and subspecies, of which 8 are described as new. Previously unknown males and immatures of several species are described. Gigantolaelaps versteegi ( Oudemans ) is redescribed from type material; G. wolffsohni (Oudemans) is redescribed from Oudemans’ original material; G. peruviana …

Venezuelan Nycteribiid Batflies (Diptera: Nycteribiidae), Lindolpho R. Guimarães Sep 1972

Venezuelan Nycteribiid Batflies (Diptera: Nycteribiidae), Lindolpho R. Guimarães

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

Eleven species of Nycteribiidae, all belonging to the genus Basilia, are reported from Venezuela. Of these, two (tuttlei and typhlops) are described as new and four (anomala, dubia, juquiensis, and tiptoni) are recorded for the first time. B. anomala is the first species with three tergal plates to be found in South America. Synonymies, previous localities, and host records are given for all species, as well as new records and comments. Geographical distribution and host-parasite associations are discussed. Field parties of the Smithsonian Venezuelan Project obtained the material on which this paper is based.

Bionomics And The Influence Of Diet Upon The Maturation Of Orchopeas Leucopus (Baker), Lynden Phillip Baum Aug 1972

Bionomics And The Influence Of Diet Upon The Maturation Of Orchopeas Leucopus (Baker), Lynden Phillip Baum

Theses and Dissertations

Knowledge of the bionomics of plague vectors, es-pecially factors which influence life history, host pre-ference, and fluctuations of flea populations, are basic to an understanding of plague ecology. Orchopeas leucopus (Baker), an ectoparasite of cricetid rodents such as Peromyscus maniculatus (Wagner), and Peromyscus truei (Baird), is a vector of plague in the western United States (Holdenried and Morlan, 1955). In a study of nine biotic corrnnunities in the Utah portion of the Great Basin, P. maniculatus was the most abundant rodent in seven of the biotic corrnnunities (Olsen, 1966). Because of the ubiquitous nature of P. maniculatus an interchange of …

Population Dynamics Of Fleas (Siphonaptera) On The Uinta Ground Squirrel, Spermophilus Armatus Kennicott, Dennis I. Anderson Aug 1972

Population Dynamics Of Fleas (Siphonaptera) On The Uinta Ground Squirrel, Spermophilus Armatus Kennicott, Dennis I. Anderson

Theses and Dissertations

The Uninta ground squirrel, Spermophilus armatus Kennicott, is the most abundant diurnal rodent in the Wasatch Mountains at the 7,000-9,000 foot level particularly in the campgrounds and picnic areas. Contact between man and the Uninta ground squirrel may be hazardous inasmuch as the causative agent of plague has been isolated from S. armatus and its flea parasites (Public Health Reports, 1937, 1938a, 1938b; Meyer, 1938; Byington, 1940; Allred, 1951; and Beck, 1955). Since these fleas are vectors of sylvatic plague and potential vectors of human plague, detailed knowledge about their population dynamics is desirable.

A Quantitative And Ecological Survey Of The Algae Of Huntington Canyon, Utah, Lorin E. Squires Aug 1972

A Quantitative And Ecological Survey Of The Algae Of Huntington Canyon, Utah, Lorin E. Squires

Theses and Dissertations

A quantitative and ecological study of the algal flora of Huntington Canyon, Emery Co., Utah was conducted from March 1971 to April 1972. Data were collected concerning net plankton, nannoplankton, periphyton and visible attached algae. Certain physical and chemical parameters in the waters of Huntington Creek and a small pond along its course also were measured. The algal flora of Huntington Canyon contains a wide diversity of genera and species. Diatoms are the main constituent of the flora of this stream throughout the year. Hydrurus foetidus is prevalent in the creek in Huntington Canyon from late winter to early summer, …

Lipids Of Fungal Spores, Identification And Metabolism, Jim L. Bushnell Aug 1972

Lipids Of Fungal Spores, Identification And Metabolism, Jim L. Bushnell

Theses and Dissertations

The lipids of the spores of the Basidiomycetes: Ustilago bullata, Lycoperdon perlatum and Calvatia gigantea were investigated. The spores of U. bullata were found to have hydrocarbons ranging from C_9 to C_24, methyl esters of fatty acids ranging from C_14 to C_24, and free fatty acids from C_14 to C_24. The spores of L. perlatum were found to have few hydrocarbons (C_22 being the predominent one); no methyl esters were detected and the fatty acids were from C_15 to C_18. Long chain aldehydes (C_30) were also detected in low concentration. At the ultrastructural level the Lycoperdon spores were found to …

Helminths Of Sceloporus Lizards In The Great Basin And Upper Colorado Plateau Of Utah, Richard Carlyle Pearce Jul 1972

Helminths Of Sceloporus Lizards In The Great Basin And Upper Colorado Plateau Of Utah, Richard Carlyle Pearce

Theses and Dissertations

This study was prompted by the scarcity of information on helminths in Sceloporus lizards of Utah. It reports these worms and includes references to parasites of reptiles in the appendix. A microscopic examination of the coelom, mesenteries, liver, lungs, esophagus, stomach, and intestines of 55 lizards was made, but helminths were recovered only from stomachs and intestines. Examination of S. graciosus yielded Opchoristica scelopori, a cestode found in the duodenum, and Cyrtosomum penneri, C. readi, and C. heynemani, three nematodes of the cecum. The latter two are new nematodes for this host species. Examination of S. undulatus yielded three new …

The Sonoran Subspecies Of The Lizard Ctenosaura Hemilopha, Hobart M. Smith Jun 1972

The Sonoran Subspecies Of The Lizard Ctenosaura Hemilopha, Hobart M. Smith

Great Basin Naturalist

Five subspecies of Ctenosaura hemilopha are recognized, including C. h. hemilopa from Baja California; C. h. insulana from Isla Cerralvo, Gulf of California; C. h. conspicuosa from Isla San Esteban and (?) Isla Lobos. Gulf of California; and two new subspecies: C. h. macrolopha from Sonora and northern Sinaloa, and C. h. nolascensis from Isla San Pedro Nolasco, Gulf of California. The species is thought to have evolved from C. pectinata, through the somewhat similar C. h. macrolopha or its forerunner. Its range probably extended at an earlier time northward around the Gulf of California, thence southward through Baja California, …

The Hyobranchium And Throat Myology Of The Adult Ambystomidae Of The United States And Northern Mexico, John E. Krogh, Wilmer W. Tanner May 1972

The Hyobranchium And Throat Myology Of The Adult Ambystomidae Of The United States And Northern Mexico, John E. Krogh, Wilmer W. Tanner

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

The 16 species and subspecies of the Ambystomidae of the United States are placed into six groups according to their throat morphology as follows: The Dicamptodon group, the Rhyacotriton group, the A. Annulatum–A. cingulatum group, the A. gracile-A. jeffersonianum-A. mabeei-A. macrodactylum-A. maculatum group, the A. talpoideum group, the A. opacum-A. texanum group, and the A. rosaceum-A. t. tigrinum-A. t. melanostictum-A. t. nebulosum group. Dicamptodon appears to be the most primitive group and Rhyacotriton the most specialized. Based on the morphology of the throat region it is suggested that A. rosaceum be placed in the tiger salamander group as a subspecies …
