Consulting With Teachers About Girls And Boys, Susan M. Sheridan, Mary Henning-Stout

Department of Educational Psychology: Faculty Publications

The purpose of this article is to clarify issues of gender relevant to the practice of consultation with classroom teachers. Social psychological and educational considerations are reviewed as grounding for gender-fair educational practices which consultation can help to bring about. Finally, the specific implications of this theoretical and empirical grounding for the practice of organizational, behavioral, and mental health consultation are explored.

Bobcats, Dallas Virchow, Denny Hogeland

Prevention and Control of Wildlife Damage Handbook

The bobcat (Lynx rufus), alias “wildcat,” is a medium-sized member of the North American cat family. It can be distinguished at a distance by its graceful catlike movements, short “bobbed” tail, and round face and pointed ears. Visible at close distances are black hair at the tip of the tail and prominent white dots on the upper side of the ears. Body hair color varies, but the animal’s sides and flanks are usually brownish black or reddish brown with either distinct or faint black spots. The back is commonly brownish yellow with a dark line down the middle. …

Coyotes, Jeffrey S. Green

Prevention and Control of Wildlife Damage Handbook

In body form and size, the coyote (Canis latrans) resembles a small collie dog, with erect pointed ears, slender muzzle, and a bushy tail. Coyotes are predominantly brownish gray in color with a light gray to cream-colored belly. Color varies greatly, however, from nearly black to red or nearly white in some individuals and local populations. Most have dark or black guard hairs over their back and tail. Coyote-dog and coyote-wolf hybrids exist in some areas and may vary greatly from typical coyotes in size, color, and appearance. Coyotes often include many items in their diet. Rabbits top the list …

Feral Dogs, Jeffrey S. Green, Philip S. Gipson

Prevention and Control of Wildlife Damage Handbook

Feral dog, Canis familiaris. The primary feature that distinguishes feral from domestic dogs is the degree of reliance or dependence on humans, and in some respect, their behavior toward people. Feral dogs survive and reproduce independently of human intervention or assistance. While it is true that some feral dogs use human garbage for food, others acquire their primary subsistence by hunting and scavenging like other wild canids. Feral and domestic dogs often differ markedly in their behavior toward people. Feral dogs are usually secretive and wary of people. Thus, they are active during dawn, dusk, and at night much …

Mink, Edward K. Boggess

Prevention and Control of Wildlife Damage Handbook

The mink (Mustela vison) is a member of the weasel family. Both sexes are a rich chocolate-brown color, usually with a white patch on the chest or chin and scattered white patches on the belly. The fur is relatively short with the coat consisting of a soft, dense underfur concealed by glossy, lustrous guard hairs. Mink also have anal musk glands common to the weasel family and can discharge a disagreeable musk if frightened or disturbed. Unlike skunks, however, they cannot forcibly spray musk. Mink are shoreline dwellers and their one basic habitat requirement is a suitable permanent …

Black Bears, Scott E. Hygnstrom

Prevention and Control of Wildlife Damage Handbook

The black bear (Ursus americanus) is the smallest and most widely distributed of the North American bears. Black bears east of the Mississippi are predominantly black, but in the Rocky Mountains and westward various shades of brown, cinnamon, and even blond are common. The head is moderately sized with a straight profile and tapering nose. The ears are relatively small, rounded, and erect. It is important to be able to distinguish between black bears and grizzly/brown bears (Ursus arctos). The grizzly/brown bear is typically much larger than the black bear.

Red Fox, Robert L. Phillips, Robert H. Schmidt

Prevention and Control of Wildlife Damage Handbook

The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is the most common of the foxes native to North America. Most depredation problems are associated with red foxes, although in some areas gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) can cause problems. The red fox is dog-like in appearance, with an elongated pointed muzzle and large pointed ears that are usually erect and forward. It has moderately long legs and long, thick, soft body fur with a heavily furred, bushy tail. Red foxes occur over most of North America, north and east from southern California, Arizona, and central Texas. The red fox is …

Why Bird Numbers Are Dwindling, Ronald M. Case

Nebraska Bird Review

John Terborgh (1989) wrote a book entitled "Where Have All the Birds Gone?" and numerous other articles on the same theme. There was an article in the Lincoln, NE Sunday Journal-Star, June 19, 1994 concerning dwindling bird numbers on the grasslands. The answer to declining bird numbers is the degradation, fragmentation, and loss of habitats. Sometimes ornithologists disagree on whether the breeding habitats or wintering habitats are impacted most, yet there is nearly universal agreement that habitat is the key. Further evidence for the impact of humans on birds can be obtained by noting those species that are flourishing in …

The Western Hemisphere Species Of The Predaceous Midge Genus Echinohelea, With Descriptions Of Six New Species (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), Willis W. Wirth

Insecta Mundi

There are four previously described species of the genus Echinohelea Kieffer in the Western Hemisphere. The following species are described as NEW SPECIES: aitkeni from Brazil, blantoni and panamensis from Panama, jamaicensis from Jamaica, and leei and neotropica from Colombia. Echinoideshelea NEW SUBGENUS is described with E. aitkeni n. sp. as type-species. The hitherto unknown pupal stage of the genus is described fro E. lanei Wirth, which was reared from a pond margin in New York, USA. Diagnoses are presented for the genus Echinohelea and the subgenus Echinoideshelea, a key is given for the identification of the 11 species, …

Book Review: Physician's Guide To Arthropods Of Medical Importance By Jerome Goddard, Eugene J. Gerberg

Insecta Mundi

As the title indicates, this book is written for physicians, not medical entomologists. The early classics in the field, Matheson's "Medical Entomology," and Harwood and James' “Entomology in Human and Animal Health,” now out-of-print, are not replaced by this volume because this work is of a more concise and abbreviated form.

The book is divided into three parts. Part I consists of chapters on the pathological conditions caused by arthropods, and the principles of treatment, certainly the most authoritative section of the book. Part II lists and describes many arthropods of medical importance. Part III consists of a short glossary …

Badgers, Fred Lindzey

Prevention and Control of Wildlife Damage Handbook

The badger (Taxidea taxus) is a stocky, medium-sized mammal with a broad head, a short, thick neck, short legs, and a short, bushy tail. Its front legs are stout and muscular, and its front claws are long. It is silver-gray, has long guard hairs, a black patch on each cheek, black feet, and a characteristic white stripe extending from its nose over the top of its head. Badgers are members of the weasel family and have the musky odor characteristic of this family. They are especially adapted for burrowing, with strong front legs equipped with long, well-developed claws. …

Grizzly/Brown Bears, Charles Jonkel

Prevention and Control of Wildlife Damage Handbook

Grizzly/brown bears (Ursus arctos) of the world include numerous subspecies in Asia, Europe, and North America. The interior grizzly (Ursus arctos horribilis) is generally smaller than the coastal (Ursus arctos gyas) or island (Ursus arctos middendorffi) subspecies of North American brown bear, and it has the classic “grizzled” hair tips. Brown bears in general are very large and heavily built. Wherever brown bears live, their size is influenced by their subspecies status, food supply, and length of the feeding season. Bone growth continues throughthe sixth year, so subadult nutrition often dictates their …

Polar Bears, Peter L. Clarkson, Ian Stirling

Prevention and Control of Wildlife Damage Handbook

The polar bear is the largest member of the family Ursidae. Polar bears have a heavy build overall, large feet, and a longer neck relative to their body size than other species of bears. The fur is white, but the shade may vary among white, yellow, grey, or almost brown, depending on the time of year or light conditions. The vitamin A content of the liver ranges between 15,000 and 30,000 units per gram and is toxic to humans if consumed in any quantity. Polar bears are distributed throughout the circumpolar Arctic. In North America, their range extends from the …

House Cats (Feral), William D. Fitzwater

Prevention and Control of Wildlife Damage Handbook

The cat has been the most resistant to change of all the animals that humans have domesticated. All members of the cat family, wild or domesticated, have a broad, stubby skull, similar facial characteristics, lithe, stealthy movements, retractable claws (except the cheetah), and nocturnal habits. Feral cats are house cats living in the wild. They are small in stature, weighing from 3 to 8 pounds, standing 8 to 12 inches high at the shoulder, and 14 to 24 inches long. The tail adds another 8 to 12 inches to their length. Colors range from black to white to orange, and …

Phylogeny Of The Malarial Genus Plasmodium, Derived From Rrna Gene Sequences, Ananias A. Escalante, Francisco J. Ayala

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

Malaria is among mankind's worst scourges, affecting many millions of people, particularly in the tropics. Human malaria is caused by several species of Plasmodium, a parasitic protozoan. We analyze the small subunit rRNA gene sequences of 11 Plasmodium species, including three parasitic to humans, to infer their evolutionary relationships. Plasmodium falciparum, the most virulent of the human species, is closely related to Plasmodium reiehenowi, which is parasitic to chimpanzee. The estimated time of divergence of these two Plasmodium species is consistent with the time of divergence (6-10 million years ago) between the human and chimpanzee lineages. The …

The Politics Of Retribalization: The Northern Ponca Case, Beth Ritter

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

The recently restored Ponca Tribe of Nebraska has faced considerable challenges to the expression of their tribalism throughout the contact period. As a small. prairie-plains tribe the Ponca have endured the ravages of epidemic disease. land cessions. dispossession and removal. assimilation and finally in 1962. the outright termination of their status as a federally recognized tribe. The Ponca Tribe of Nebraska has been granted the opportunity to attempt retribalization with the 1990 Congressional restoration of their recognized status. The historical circumstances which have contributed to the assaults on their political and cultural identity will be explored within the larger framework …

Review Of The White Earth Tragedy: Ethnicity And Dispossession At A Minnesota Anishinaabe Reservation, 1889-1920 By Melissa L. Meyer, Jerry A. Schultz

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

In this work Meyer draws primarily upon the substantial resources available from the colonial U.S. bureaucracy and other written and unwritten materials. The focus of this study is the incorporation of the Anishinaabe land and resources by Euro-Americans and the concomitant marginalization of the Anishinaabe people in Minnesota.

Migration and cultural reordering were key adaptive strategies of the Anishinaabe. Amalgamation, splintering, intermarriage, and ethnogenesis accompanied all the Anishinaabe migrations. Each migration, whether seasonal migrations before contact with Euro-Americans or the more recent migration to Minnesota, was prompted by different circumstances and led to new cultural adaptations. Meyer undermines the myth …

Review Of Battlefields And Burial Grounds: The Indian Struggle To Protect Ancestral Graves In The United States By Roger C. Echo-Hawk And Walter R. Echo-Hawk, Larry J. Zimmerman

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

Pawnee efforts during the late 1980s to have the remains of their ancestors returned for reburial drew international attention. Their eventual victory set many legal and ethical precedents for proper treatment of American Indian human remains. Battlefields and Burial Grounds tells the Pawnee story, but in the broader context of the national reburial issue. It is a story of dominant society science versus indigenous beliefs and rights.

The collection and study of Indian remains grew hand in hand with colonialism and the development of American archaeology. Even though there is more than adequate evidence that some of the first collectors …

Will The House Win: Does Sovereignty Rule In Indian Casinos?, Beth M. Wilkins, Beth R. Ritter

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

The historical conflict of interest between states and American Indian nations has encompassed jurisdictional disputes ranging from land rights, water rights. and taxation to civil and criminal issues. Many of these political. legal and economic disputes currently center on Indian gaming on reservations within state boundaries. The tribes have been put in the position. yet again. of fighting to define and articulate the exercise of their perceived sovereignty rights vis-a-vis the rights of the states. The federal role, as designated trustee of the tribes, has been and continues to be. an ambiguous. dynamic one. This paper explores the history, current …

Introduction - Volume 4, Number 2, August 1994, John R. Wunder

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

This special issue of Great Plains Research was edited by Clare McKanna, Jr., and Beth R. Ritter. The issue represents a unique interdisciplinary examination of a number of current issues facing Plains Indian peoples. These issues include gaming, education, medical problems, land titles, retribalization, and cultural retention.

Initially the idea of a special issue was proposed by Beth R. Ritter. Clare McKanna, Jr., editor of Great Plains Research, decided this would be an excellent opportunity to pursue a variety of social science approaches to Native studies, and he agreed to the proposal. Together McKanna and Ritter selected possible essays …
