Handbook Of Waterfowl Behavior, Paul A. Johnsgard

Handbook of Waterfowl Behavior by Paul A. Johnsgard

The present study was undertaken to test and evaluate the various taxonomic arrangements of the family, to discover some of the trends of behavioral evolution, and to provide a basis for future workers to use in naming, describing, and evaluating the behavioral patterns observed in waterfowl.

The major sexual behavior patterns of the species of Anatidae are reviewed and summarized, for the purpose of clarifying evolutionary relationships in the family, tracing the evolution of behavior patterns through various taxa, and evaluating the importance of certain behavior patterns as potential isolating mechanisms.

Species treated include:
Magpie Goose, Fulvous and Cuban Whistling …

Handbook Of Waterfowl Behavior: Tribe Tadornini (Sheldgeese And Shelducks), Paul A. Johnsgard

Handbook of Waterfowl Behavior by Paul A. Johnsgard

The tribe includes the 16 species of sheldgeese and shelducks ("Lophonetta" and Tachyeres are here excluded from the tribe) which provide such a smooth transition from the true geese to the true ducks that it is difficult to establish a dividing line between the two groups. I believe that the line is best placed between Cereopsis on the anserine side and Cyanochen on the anatine side. Cyanochen is clearly a sheldgoose, but the plumages and voices of the sexes are practically alike, as are also their displays. Cyanochen and the other Tadornini are characterized by a downy plumage that is …

Statistics In The Design And Analysis Of Physiology Experiments, L. Dale Van Vleck, C. R. Henderson

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Statistics should be considered as a tool by the animal experimenter in much the same way that a chemical analysis or a radiation counter is used as a tool. Too often statistics is considered as something magical which can restore order out of chaos and perhaps absolve the experimenter from mistakes in logic and procedure. It is true of course that the statistician through his knowledge of statistical procedures can sometimes help salvage some results from an otherwise hopelessly muddled experiment. One point must be made clear at the outset—the statistician is not a tool of the experimenter although statistics …

Response Of Sheep And Swine To Treatments For Control Of Ovulation, P. J. Dziuk

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

Control of the estrous cycle is essential to precise research in gamete and zygote physiology and could be useful in animal husbandry. The conception rate in sheep during the breeding season following treatments to control ovulation has varied from about normal (Dauzier, 4; Robinson, 20; Evans et al., 9; Lamond and Bindon, 17; Brunner et al., 3; Hinds et al., 15), to distressingly low levels in other cases (Braden et al., 2; Davies, 5; Lamond, 16). Treatments during the anestrous season have given a variable response but usually only 30 to 50 percent of ewes lamb (Gordon, 13; 14).

Factors Influencing The Regression Of Corpora Lutea In The Ewe, Rabbit And Rat, H. G. Spies

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

Stages in the life of corpora lutea may be divided logically into formation, function and regression. Mechanisms controlling each stage may be independent or overlapping depending on the species. Anderson et al.,(4) have pointed to lack of current evidence to allow a clear distinction between luteinizing hormone (LH) and luteotropic hormone (LTH) in farm animals. Initial LTH release is probably sufficient to form and maintain the corpora lutea for the normal estrous cycle (Aldred et al., 1). Maintenance of corpora lutea for the normal duration of an estrous cycle in hypophysectomized ewes (Denamur and Mauleon, 6) and sows (du Mesnil …

Reapportionment—Extension Of Equal Representation To The County Level—State Ex Rel. Sonneborn V. Sylvester, 26 Wis. 2d 43, 132 N.W.2d 249 (1965), Budd B. Bornhoft Jr.

Nebraska Law Review

State ex rel. Sonneborn v. Sylvester is the first case decided by a state court of last resort on the issue of equal representation for boards of governmental bodies below the level of the state legislature since the United States Supreme Court held in Baker v. Carr that state malapportionment violates the equal protection clause of the federal constitution and presents a justiciable controversy. In so holding, the Supreme Court abandoned its previous position that malapportionment of state legislatures was a political question which only Congress or the President was competent to decide. The subsequent decisions of Gray v. Sanders …

Summary Judgments In Nebraska, Kenneth P. Keene

Translation Of Krylov, M. V. 1965. The Development Of Nuttallia Tadzhikistanica Krylov Et Zanina, 1962 In The Tick Hyalomma Anatolicum [= Razvitie Nuttallia Tadzhikistanica Krylov Et Zanina, 1962 V Kleshche Hyalomma Anatolicum]. Acta Protozoologica 3: 369-382, M. V. Krylov, Frederick K. Plous Jr.

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

Summary

The development of Nuttallia tadzhikistanica in the larvae and nymphs of Hyalomma anatolicum was followed. In the first hours after the larvae had begun blood sucking on infected specimens of Meriones erythrourus, Nuttallia which had got into the intestire of the tick, leave erythrocytes and multiply by division into two or four individuals. Two or four hours later, mono-nuclear trophozoites occur in the haemocoel of the tick. Here their multiple division occurs. Multinucleated developmental stages of Nuttallia occur in the haemocoel during 24 hours after the larvae become detached from the host. The multinucleated stages break down into …

Density-Gradient Centrifugation: Non-Ideal Sedimentation And The Interaction Of Major And Minor Components, Myron K. Brakke, J. M. Daly

Department of Plant Pathology: Faculty Publications

A small amount of southern bean mosaic virus was contained in a narrow zone after density-gradient centrifugation, but in a much wider zone after centrifugation with a large amount of a second virus. Zone-spreading of a major component by non-ideal sedimentation in density-gradient centrifugation can cause zone spreading of a minor component that the major component overlaps.

Hormonal Control Of Reproductive Activity In The Ewe, J. F. Wagner

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

There are many advantages which result from synchronizing the estrous period in a ewe flock. In situations where the ewes are not hand bred to the ram, the synchronization of estrus makes the application of artificial insemination (AI) techniques more efficient. Detection of estrus usually is more reliable in a synchronized flock. Only 3 to 4 days are needed to detect estrus in 90 percent of a synchronized flock, whereas 16 to 18 days are normally required. This allows the AI technician to plan the number of breedings and have semen available. When hormones are given in the feed, an …

"The Battle Of The Experts": A New Approach To An Old Problem In Medical Testimony, Larry W. Myers

Nebraska Law Review

The testimony of medical experts is essential in establishing the extent of a plaintiff's injuries in personal injury litigation. When conflicting or contradictory medical testimony is presented, a phenomenon arises which often attains such noticeable proportions that it has been dramatically labeled "the battle of the experts." In several jurisdictions, judicial, legal, and medical groups have collaborated to create programs aimed at resolving or minimizing these courtroom conflicts. This study seeks to ascertain whether such a program would promote the administration of justice in Nebraska.

Unliquidated Tort Claims In Probate Proceedings—Notice Requirements, Gregory D. Erwin

Nebraska Law Review

Probating the estate of a person who has died in a traffic accident raises the question of whether to give other persons involved in the accident notice of the probate proceedings when it appears that the decedent may have been at fault. One practice is to file the estate for probate quickly, giving notice only by publication and hoping that the potential claimants fail to file by claim day, generally about six months later. Then not only are their claims forever barred but their counterclaims may be barred in a wrongful death suit brought by the executor. Nebraska and other …
