Some Issues In Teaching Agricultural Economics To Foreign Graduate Students, B. Gardner Delworth

Faculty Publications

Several words in the title help set the scope of the paper. My concern is with the training of students from foreign countries, generally those best characterized as less developed countries (LCD's). These students come to the United States to be trained as professional economists and I assume will spend a career researching problems related to agriculture.

Host-Induced Morphological Variations In The Strigeoid Trematode Posthodiplostomum Minimum (Trematoda: Diplostomatidae). Ii. Body Measurements And Tegument Modifications, James R. Palmieri

Great Basin Naturalist

Extensive feeding experiments were undertaken to determine if physiological host specificity was a major characteristic of Posthodiplostomum minimum. This involved the feeding of experimentally infected sunfish livers containing metacercariae of P. minimum to amphibian, reptilian, avian and mammalian hosts. Host-induced morphological variations of adult P. minimum were shown to be associated with the genus and class of host employed as well as with the inherent variability of P. minimum exclusive of host factors. Morphological characters such as body size and shape and tegumental surface and spines are indicated as undergoing morphological variation. Of all the experimental definitive hosts used, avian …

Syzygioxylon Chhindwarense, A New Fossil Wood From The Deccan Intertrappean Series Of India, E. M. V. Nambudiri, William D. Tidwell

Great Basin Naturalist

A petrified wood related to genera of the family Myrtaceae was collected from the Deccan Intertrappean Series of India. On comparison with fossil woods of this family, it most closely resembles Syzygioxylon Ingle (1973). The specimen differs from described species of Syzygioxylon and, therefore, it is proposed as the new species Syzygioxylon chhindwarense.

Birds Of Gunnison And Cub Islands, Great Salt Lake, Utah, F. L. Knopf, V. C. Bachman

Great Basin Naturalist

A total of 87 avian species were recorded on islands of Great Salt Lake by Behle, with 17 observed on Gunnison and Cub islands. This paper presents sightings and salvaged carcasses recorded on Gunnison and Cub islands, 1972–1974. Of the 112 species observed, 95 are first records for Gunnison and Cub islands and 49 are first records on or near any island of Great Salt Lake. Over 90 percent of species observed on the islands were transients.

A New Status For Penstemon Cyananthus Hook. Ssp. Subglaber Pennell (Scrophulariaceae), Stephen L. Clark

Great Basin Naturalist

Penstemon cyanathus Hook. ssp. subglaber Pennell, a plant found frequently in northwestern Utah, southeastern Idaho, and southeastern Wyoming, is elevated to species status. A new name, Penstemon holmgrenii Clark is proposed because P. subglaber is preoccupied.

Spring Waterfowl Migration In The Uinta Basin Of Northeastern Utah, Mary E. Sangster

Great Basin Naturalist

Spring waterfowl migrations at Ouray National Wildlife Refuge and Pelican Lake, Uintah County, Utah, were monitored during 1975 and 1976. Peak numbers occurred during the first week in April 1975 when 11,440 birds were counted. In 1976 the highest count, 9,650 birds, was made on 15 March. Most numerous early-season migrants were Mallards and Pintails. Important midseason migrants included Blue-winged and Cinnamon Teal, Canvasbacks, and Redheads. Late-season migrants were Gadwall and Ruddy Ducks. Surveys conducted only at Ouray Refuge or at Pelican Lake would not adequately have reflected species composition of spring migration. Results point up the advisability of sampling …

An Annotated List Of The Aquatic Insects Of Southeastern Idaho, Part Ii: Trichoptera, Robert L. Newell, G. Wayne Minshall

Great Basin Naturalist

Distribution records for the Trichoptera occurring in the southeastern one-third of Idaho are summarized based on published records and collections by the authors and their colleagues. The study revealed representatives of 13 families, 37 genera, and 84 species. Several species were collected for the first time in Idaho, including: Hesperophylax magnus, Limnephilus frijole and L. thorus, Psychoglypha ormiae, Ceraclea annulicornis and C. copha, Polycentropus crassicornis, Tinodes provo, and Agrypania dextra.

The Systematics Of Crotaphytus Wislizeni, The Leopard Lizards. Part Iii. The Leopard Lizards Of The Great Basin And Adjoining Areas, With A Description Of A New Subspecies From The Lahontan Basin, Wilmer W. Tanner, Benjamin H. Banta

Great Basin Naturalist

A general analysis of the populations of Crotaphytus wislizeni in the Great Basin is presented. A new subspecies, C. wislizeni maculosus, for the Lahontan Basin, Nevada, is described and comparisons of color pattern, some scale patterns, and skull measurements are presented.

Range Extension Of Trionyx Spiniferus Emoryi Into Utah (Reptilia), Carlos Y. Roby, Earl C. Loveless

Great Basin Naturalist

Four Texas Spiny Softshell Turtles (Trionyx spiniferus emoryi) were collected near St. George, Utah. This represents a range extension of 65 km northward into Utah from Nevada.

The Subfamily Anomiopsyllinae (Hystrichopsyllidae: Siphonaptera). I. A Revision Of The Genus Anomiopsyllus Baker, A. M. Barnes, V. J. Tipton, J. A. Wildie

Great Basin Naturalist

In this taxonomic revision of the Nearctic flea genus Anomiopsyllus Baker morphological characters, phylogeny, affinities with other genera in the subfamily Anomiopsyllinae, evolutionary adaptations, geographic distribution, ecological parameters, and host preferences are discussed. Characters primarily associated with the male genitalia, in particular the number and placement of spiniforms on the movable process (finger) of the clasper, are used for species discrimination. A key to the males of the 15 species and subspecies is provided, including illustrations of both males and females.

The Life Cycle Of Hydroperla Crosbyi (Plecoptera: Perlodidae), Reed Y. Oberndorfer, Kenneth W. Stewart

Great Basin Naturalist

Hydroperla crosbyi in Texas exhibited a univoltine, fast life cycle over the three-year study period. Adults emerged in February–March when mean daily stream temperature reached ca. 15 C. Reared females in the lab deposited up to three egg masses. Mean fecundity of dissected females was 787 eggs/female. Oviposition in the field was observed and described.

Eggs were triangular in cross section, brown, and measured 400 µm × 535 µm. They underwent an ca. seven-month diapause until mean daily stream temperature decreased to 18 C. Eyespots appeared, and hatching followed in two to three weeks. First instar nymphs were measured and …

New Synonymy And New Species Of American Bark Beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), Part Iv, Stephen L. Wood

Great Basin Naturalist

New synonymy is proposed as follows: Pityophthorus Eichhoff ( = Pityophthoroides Blackman), Scolytodes Ferrari ( = Ctenophorus Chapuis), Araptus pallidus (Blackman), n. comb. (? = Neodryocoetes portoricensis Schedl, Neodryocoetes devius Schedl), Corthylus letzneri (Ferrari) ( = Corthylus strigilatus Eggers, Corthylus columbianus Schedl, Corthylus ater Schedl), Corthylus spinifer Schwarz ( = Corthylus guayanensis Eggers), Hypothenemus brunneus (Hopkins) ( = Hypothenemus cryphalomorphus Schedl, Stephanoderes bituberculatus Eggers), Monarthrum parvum (Eggers) ( = Monarthrum praeclarum Wood), Phloeoborus punctatorugosus Chapuis ( = Phloeoborus breviusculus Chapuis), Phloeotribus pilula Erichson ( = Phloeotribus australis Schedl), Phloeotribus setulosus Eichhoff (Phloeotribus dubius Eichhoff, Phloeotribus spinipennis Eggers), Pityophthorus, pulicarius …

Varying Prevalence Of Taenia Taeniaeformis Strobilocerci In Microtus Pennsylvanicus Of Montana, Richard H. Mcbee Jr.

Great Basin Naturalist

Of 42 Microtus pennsylvanicus trapped 1 km from Bozeman, Montana, 14 (33.3 percent) were infected by strobilocerci of Taenia taeniaeformis, while only one (2.1 percent) of 47 was infected at a rural site 16 km from Bozeman. The higher incidence of the primary host, domestic cats, is believed to account for the higher rate of infection near Bozeman.

The Relationship Of Reduced Levels Of Atp To Inhibited Chondrogenesis In The Production Of Limb Deformity Induced By 6-Aminonicotinamide, Val C. Sheffield

Theses and Dissertations

6-aminonicotinamide (6-AN), an analogue and antagonist of nicotinamide, impairs cartilage formation and results in shortening of the limb when administered to chick embryos. 6-AN forms an abnormal NAD analogue (6-ANAD), which inhibits the activity of NAD-dependent enzymes associated with the production of ATP. The mechanism of action of 6-AN was studied by measuring the biosynthesis of protein and DNA, and the sulfation and glycosylation of chondroitin sulfate in control and 6-AN treated cartilage from 8-day chick embryos. The cartilage was also assayed for ATP levels. Incorporation of Na235SO4 was inhibited by 6 h treatment with 10 μg/ml 6-AN, whereas 3H-thymidine …

The Genus Haemolaelaps (Acarina: Laelapidae) In The Northwest Ethiopian Biogeographical Region, Calvin J. Sakamoto

Theses and Dissertations

This paper presents the results of a taxonomic stury of mites of the genus Haemolaelaps collected from small mammals of 8 political subdivisions of the northwest portion of the Ethiopian Biogeographical Region.
