Birds Of Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada, Ian Mctaggart Cowan

Other Publications in Wildlife Management

Jasper Park, with an area of approximately 4,200 square miles, is the largest accessible primeval wildlife sanctuary on this continent and as such its bird life is of the greatest interest. The meagre available records of earlier conditions indicate that noteworthy changes in the park's avifauna have taken place in the last 50 years. There can be little doubt that other changes will take place during the years to come. For this reason, then, if for no other, it seems desirable that as complete a record as possible of the current situation be made, for only against it can the …

Constitutional Law—Uniform Code Of Military Justice—General Article Void For Vagueness?, James W. Hewitt

Nebraska Law Review

Much has been said or written about the rights of servicemen under the new Uniform Code of Military Justice, which is the source of American written military law. Some of the major criticisms of military law have been that it is too harsh, too vague, and too careless of the right to due process of law. A large portion of this criticism has been leveled at Article 134, the general, catch-all article of the Code.

Mammal Observations At Lower Back River, Northwest Territories, Canada, H. L. Gunderson, W. J. Breckenridge, J. A. Jarosz

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

The Back River drains the interior barrens of the Northwest Territories of Canada. According to Blanchet (1930) the river has its headwaters in a high plateau and flows through a sand plain basin (not in accord with conditions of our base camp). The country north of the Back River drainage is of low relief. The river takes a northerly direction for the last one-third of its course. To the east, between the river and Wager Bay, the country is known to be very rugged.

The first known exploration of the Back River, then called the Great Fish River, was by …

Managing Farm Fishponds For Bass And Bluegills, Verne E. Davison

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

A Fishpond is a delightful part of a farm or ranch. Where a good site exists for a pond, it makes good use of the land. The impounded water often has other uses too. It adds beauty to the farm and provides recreation for farmers, ranchers, and their friends.

Fishponds are profitable when they are managed well. To produce the most income and home use, they must afford good fishing year after year. Most disappointments result from mistakes in management.

This bulletin points out the importance of good sites and the necessity for erosion control, proper stocking, and weed control. …

Courtship Activities Of The Anatidae In Eastern Washington, Paul A. Johnsgard

Papers in Ornithology

The many interesting and sometimes spectacular aspects of waterfowl courtship have been observed and recorded by several writers. Among the best and most complete descriptions are those of Bent (1923, 1925), Townsend (1910, 1916), Wetmore (1920), and Hochbaum (1944). However, for the most part these are unillustrated, deal with only a few species, or are based on limited observations.

Cyclustra Ardeae N. Sp. And The Status Of Dendrouterina Fuhrmann, 1912 (Cestoda: Dilepididae), Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Three cestodes representing a species of the genus Cyclustra Fuhrmann, 1901, were obtained by the writer from a great blue heron, Ardea herodias L., collected at Neville, Rock County, Wisconsin, on April 14, 1947. The bird was an adult male, weighing 2,630 grams. Two other great blue herons from this locality were also autopsied, but were negative for this cestode. Two species of Cyclustra are known, bath from ardeiform birds. The Wisconsin material differs from these in morphological details, and is described herein as new.
The cestodes were stained with Semichon's acetic carmine, and mounted entire. The strobila of this …

Research Notes: Notes On The Life Cycle Of Fibricola Cratera (Trematoda: Strigeida), Glenn L. Hoffman

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

The life cycle of Fibricola cratera (Barker and Noll, 1915) Dubois, 1932 was reported in 1940 (Cuckler, A. C., Journal of Parasitology 26 (6-Suppl.): 32-33). The writer repeated the life cycle at the University of Iowa in 1948-49 and wishes to add a few observations. Apparently the life cycle of Fibricola texensis Chandler, 1942 (Chandler, A. C., Transactions of the American Microscopical Society 61: 156-167, 1942) is very nearly identical to that of F. cratera. The genus has been reviewed by C. P. Read (Transactions of the American Microscopical Society 67: 165-168, 1948).

Neascus Nolfi N. Sp. (Trematoda: Strigeida) From Cyprinid Minnows With Notes On The Artificial Digest Recovery Of Helminths, Glenn L. Hoffman

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

During an examination of fish from Turtle River, Arvilta, North Dakota, a new Neascus (larval strigeid) was recovered from the musculature and integument of the northern creek chub, Semotilus a. atromaculatus (Mitchell) and the northern common shiner, Notropis cornutus frontalis (Agassiz). This new species is named in honor of Dr. L. O. NoIf, University of Iowa.

Studies On The Helminth Fauna Of Alaska. Xxiv. Echinococcus Sibiricensis N. Sp., From St. Lawrence Island, Robert L. Rausch, Everett Schiller

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

As the result of field and laboratory investigations extending over a period of more than four years, we have amassed considerable information on the life cycle and ecology of a cestode of the genus Echinococcus (Rudolphi, 1801). Occurring on St. Lawrence Island, which lies in Bering Sea about 40 miles southeast of Cape Chukotskyi, northeast Siberia, this cestode not only has an interesting life cycle, but in the larval stage is an important parasite of humans.

Studies On The Helminth Fauna Of Alaska. Xxi. Taxonomy, Morphological Variation, And Ecology Of Diphyllobothrium Ursi N. Sp. Provis On Kodiak Island, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

According to Eguchi (1934), two species of salmon (Oncorhynchus) serve as a source of human infection by a cestode identified as Diphyllobothrium latum (Linnaeus, 1758), in Japan. The possible role of these fishes in the transmission of cestodes to humans and other animals has not been investigated in North America, nor, apparently, on the Eurasian mainland. However, Ward (1930) reported unidentified Diphyllobothrium-like plerocercoids from Alaskan salmon; Simms and Shaw (1931) collected plerocercoids identified as D. cordiceps (Leidy, 1871) from Oncorhynchus kisutch (Walbaum) from lakes in Oregon; and Wardle (1932) reported plerocercoids of Diphyllobothrium spp. from O. kisutch …

The Social And Political Conflict In Prussia 1858-1864, Eugene N. Anderson

University Studies (University of Nebraska) (1888–1984)

T HE present study developed out of a desire to understand the character of liberalism and conservatism in Prussia on the eve of German unification. Who were the liberals? Who were the Conservatives? What were their ideals and how did they conduct themselves in public? How powerful was each group in the state? In conflict throughout the Nineteenth Century, the opponents reached the peak of their antagonism in the years between 1858 and 1866, the the years of the New Era, the constitutional conflict, and the first two wars of German unification. Fundamental social, economic, and political ideals were at …

50 Years Of Research At The North Platte Experiment Station, W. W. Burr, J. C. Adams

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

The North Platte Experiment was established fifty years ago. So many changes have occurred since then that few people remember why research in dry land agriculture was started in Nebraska and other Great Plains states. In order to get a proper perspective, it may be well to consider some early history.

Special Text, St 55-06-1, Transportation Intelligence, June 1954, Robert Bolin , Depositor

United States Department of Defense Military Intelligence

This is a textbook used at the Army Transportation School. In the 1950s, military schools related to one of the Army Technical Services were run by that service. Since the format and content of Army field manuals were often very similar to those of special texts, the same staffs often prepared both. At the time this special text was written no field manual on transportation intelligence has been issued.

The modern US Army vision of the technical intelligence developed during World War II. Shortly before World War II, Army Technical Services had been instructed to set up intelligence sections in …

Studies On The Helminth Fauna Of Alaska. Xx. The Histogenesis Of The Alveolar Larva Of Echinococcus Species, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The occurrence of the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus (Batsch, 1786) in a microtine rodent, Clethrionomys rutilus Pallas, on Bering Island was reported by Barabash-Nikiforov (1938) and Afanas'ev (1941). Rausch and Schiller (1951) reported this cestode from tundra voles, Microtus oeconomus Pallas, collected on St. Lawrence Island. Further observations have shown that it occurs also in C. rutilus in the same location. Both species of rodents have a wide circumboreal distribution.
