Use Of Shoot-Root Grafts In Case Studies Of Site Of O-Hydroxycinnamic Acid Synthesis In Melilotus Alba, Herman J. Gorz, Francis A. Haskins

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

The content of o-hydroxycinnamic acid was measured in shoot-root grafts involving four combinations of Melilotus alba plants of the CuCuBB and cucuBB genotypes. Six portions from each grafted plant were assayed. Results provide evidence that o-hydroxycinnamic acid synthesis occurs in the above-ground parts of sweetclover plants, with limited translocation to the roots. No support was obtained for the view that the root plays an important role in o-hydroxycinnamic acid synthesis.

Endangered And Threatened Wildlife And Plants: Proposed Endangered Status For The American Burying Beetle

Endangered Species Bulletin

The Service proposes to determine endangered status for the American burying beetle (Nicrophorus americanus) and thereby provide the species protection under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. Once widely distributed throughout eastern North America, this species has disappeared from most of its former range. Two known populations currently exist, one in eastern Oklahoma and the other on an island off the coast of New England. Despite extensive efforts to locate additional populations, only two specimens have been found elsewhere in more than 10 years. The cause of the species’ decline is unknown. Critical habitat is not …

Simulated Radioactivity, Robert Katz, J. J. Butts

Robert Katz Publications

An experiment to simulate radioactive decay is easily performed with a random-number generator or a set of random numbers. The nuclei are imagined to be indexed consecutively. The initial appearance of the index number of a particular nucleus is interpreted as a signal that it has disintegrated. The number of surviving nuclei is an exponential function of the number of draws, and represents the radioactive decay law, with fluctuations. This procedure is a precise realization of the conventional probabilistic derivation of the radioactive decay law if, indeed, the random number generator is truly unbiased.

Mosquitoes Of The Cheyenne Bottoms Waterfowl Management Area, Barton County, Kansas, John J. Janovy Jr.

John J. Janovy, Jr. Publications

Studies of the local biology of eleven species of mosquitoes in a prairie marsh in central Kansas revealed that "floodwater" species (Aedes dorsalis, A. nigromaculis, A. sollicitans, A. vexans, Psorophora ciliata, P. cyanescens) formed a major portion of the total mosquito population and were the principal pests after early June. Culex tarsalis was the most numerous single species and was captured in large numbers even during the hot, dry period from mid-July to late August. Culiseta inornata was plentiful in early spring and fall, but virtually absent from late May to mid-September. Culex pipiens, Orthopodomyia signijera, and …

Bird Control Methods And Devices--Comments Of The National Pest Control Association, Philip J. Spear

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

It may be useful to review some of the considerations that go into recommendations concerning bird management. Later I will make some comments concerning specific methods and devices being used in or promoted for bird control work regardless of whether or not they are new. Members of the National Pest Control Association provide a variety of services, such as fumigation, termite control and general pest control which includes rodent control. There are eight such categories listed in our roster, but only one member in five provides every service listed. Bird control is a rather recent development and is the newest …

The necessary polynomials have been calculated for the commonly occurring symmetry groups and are listed to supplement the usual character tables. ©1966 American Institute of Physics

Blackbird Depredations In Animal Industry: Feedlots, Donald Balser

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

Reviewing the cattle feedlot problems in the west, we have cattle feedlots near most of our large population centers and in some cases they are located near supplies of rations, such as potatoes in Idaho or beet pulp, milo, etc. Perhaps the greatest number of feedlots are in California which has our largest human population but there are also large operations in Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Arizona which have reported bird damage problems. Later on in the program we'll have a film taken by our bird project personnel of work in feedlots in Colorado so I'll …

Blackbird Depredations In Animal Industry: Poultry Ranges And Hog Lots, C. E. Faulkner

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

I'm going to move over onto poultry ranges, turkey ranges and hog farms where we have species of birds such as the herring gull, the pigeon, the starling and English sparrow. As a rule, these birds travel relatively great distances from roosts and loafing areas out to the feeding ranges. And why shouldn't they? There is ample high energy food available and usually lack of human disturbance. So they frequent these places during the daylight hours. Actually the losses from these operations are pretty hard to evaluate. Sometimes it is direct, the farmer feels the impact; other times it's indirect. …

Bird Damage In Fruit Crops, Richard N. Smith

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

I don't see any solution in sight for fruit damage caused by birds. I think that one of the reasons is that there has been very little research done concerning the relationship between birds and fruit crops. Probably the reason is that those birds responsible are protected species, and they are highly desirable birds in the eyes of the public. For instance, one of the species that is responsible for heavy losses in fruit crops is the robin. It is the state bird in Michigan, yet it causes a number of problems there each year. Another problem is that growing …

New Materials From Research, Donald Balser

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

At the Denver Wildlife Research Center our people are actively searching for means of controlling damage by a whole host of animal and bird species. I say controlling damage rather than controlling species because this should be the primary objective. If we can do this without lethal control, so much the better, and it may be the more lasting solution in the long run. Often removal of some animals by lethal means either increases reproduction, survival, or invasion unless complete control is exercised over sufficiently large areas. In spite of these problems, population reduction is often relied on as a …

Blackbird Flock Behavior In Corn, A Theoretical Model (With Session Discussion), M. I. Dyer

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

I realized this past winter that redwings form the base for an international problem, and so I went down to see Jim Caslick in Florida. Unfortunately, I picked the wrong season. I misjudged the weather for when I went down in May to get experimental birds it was pretty hot. Next year I'll be a bit more careful and go down during the winter time. I want to discuss something a bit different but still in line with crop damage by red-winged blackbirds. I want to relate the damage assessment that we're making in agricultural corn to bird behavior. We've …

Histoplasmosis--Its Relationship To Birds, E. R. Price Ph.D.

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

Histoplasmosis is a disease affecting man and many other ani¬mals including the dog, cat, cow, horse, and several wild animals. It is caused by a pathogenic fungus known as Histoplasma capsulatum. This fungus lives and multiplies in the ground as a mold. It prefers the undisturbed litter in and around old chicken houses or in undis¬turbed droppings under bird roosts. It has been found in the soil of dog kennels, under porches of old houses, under trees and bushes frequented by birds in the daytime. It has also been found in isolated caves and hollow trees. It apparently is capable …

Chemosterilants, Possible Control Agents, Robert Mclean

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

A chemosterilant may be defined as a chemical compound that reduces or destroys fertility of the treated animal. There are a variety of compounds which have an anti-fertility effect, and these com¬pounds may attack the reproductive process at any one of its many phases. Chemosterilants have a good potential as a means of population control of pest animals, because the population may be reduced with little reproductive compensation which normally follows a reduction caused by killing. The number of young produced would be reduced by preventing reproduction or by causing early mortality; therefore, there would be little compensatory increase in …

Metropolitan And Industrial Bird Problems: Panel Discussion, Harold Coleman, Anthony Clay, Kilmer Bortz

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

Good Practice In Bird Management, James W. Steckel

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

I'm going to deviate a little bit from what's been said. I'd like to read to you first of all a Good Practice Statement for Bird Management that was accepted by the National Pest Control Association in the past year, 1965. I think it's important for all the people here, realizing that some of you are suppliers, some of you are from regulatory agencies, some of you are in the bird management business, and others are in¬terested in this field in many other ways. It's important for us to realize, all of us, that this field is just in the …

Control Of Birds In Aircraft Hangars, Richard N. Smith

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

What I am going to say this afternoon about bird control in hang¬ars won't take but a few minutes, mainly because I think this is one area that we already have partial solutions. By this I mean that in most instances, at least where I've worked, we've been able to solve most of the hangar bird problems. Some of you have probably worked on similar problems or have worked in airplane hangars and after the session I'll certainly welcome any comments you may have. What I have to say will relate mainly to what I've done myself, or the men …
