Comparative Functional Analysis Of The Masticatory Apparatus In Two Species Of Myotis, David Wesley Reduker

Biology ETDs

Comparative jaw and skull morphologies were analyzed in two closely related species of bats, Myotis volans (aerial insectivore) and Myotis evotis (foliage gleaner). Force vector analyses were performed on each muscle-bone lever system to determine the relative force produced at three designated functional points along the lower tooth row: the incisors, canine, and protoconid of the second molar. Results of the analysis indicate that Myotis evotis not only has a more powerful bite and grip than volans but it also has the potential for a much quicker jaw closure which is most effective at smaller angles of jaw opening. These …

Spatial And Temporal Activities Of The Yellow Mud Turtle, Kinosternon Flavescens, In Eastern New Mexico, Robert Charles Semmler Ii

Biology ETDs

Many small ponds in the eastern plains of New Mexico are inhabited by yellow mud turtles. Some of these ponds are permanent, but many dry out during the year. This makes the terrestrial activity of mud turtles an important aspect of their life history. When turtles were active within the ponds, they showed no preference for permanent over temporary water. There were always more females than males present in the ponds. As water levels receded, aquatic activity lessened and the turtles buried themselves just under the mud near the edge of the pond for a few days and then moved …

Herpetofauna (Anurans And Lizards) Of Eddy County, New Mexico: Quaternary Changes And Environmental Implications, John S. Applegarth

Biology ETDs

For interpreting environmental implications of Quaternary faunal changes, anurans and lizards are more informative than other vertebrates. Remains are analyzed from five sites in the limestone hills west of Carlsbad, Eddy County, New Mexico. The modern anuran and lizard fauna of Eddy County is reviewed in terms of habit requirements and known distributions and is used as a standard for interpreting prehistoric remains. Procedures are described for preparing comparative skeletons and for analyzing; prehistoric remains.

Assessment Of Corrosion And Scaling In A Low Temperature Geothermal System, David Bruce Orrell

Chemical and Biological Engineering ETDs

The feasibility of a low temperature geothermal system to be located in the area immediately surrounding Albuquerque, New Mexico, was assessed with respect to corrosion and scaling. Theories of corrosion and scaling were explored and an extensive literature survey was performed to predict trends and apply design criteria and guidelines regarding corrosion and scaling from other geothermal environments to the proposed geothermal installation in Albuquerque. A recirculating corrosion test loop was built, and fifteen metals were tested for general corrosion resistance in seawater at 190° F and 3 ft/sec flow velocity. Results show this test procedure to be viable and …

The Genetic Structure Of The ÅLand Islands, Finland, Lynn B. Jorde

Anthropology ETDs

For 3,272 individuals from the Aland Islands, patterns of genetic variation are analyzed. To study temporal trends, the sample is divided into three age cohorts . Gene frequencies ore calculated for 13 genetic systems, and genetic distance measures, Wright's Fst, and the parameters of Malecot 's isolation by distance equation ore calculated. Also, the principal components of the distance matrices are computed and rotated to maximum congruence with the geographic locations of the subdivisions. These analyses indicate that Aland's isolated outer island parishes are genetically more heterogeneous than the more centrally located main island parishes. Temporal trends in these measures …

Aspects Of The Life History And Reproductive Biology Of The Socorro Isopod, Thermosphaeroma Thermophilum (Crustacea: Peracarida), Stephen M. Shuster

Biology ETDs

Life history and behavioral information on North American isopods are limited and non-existent for the genus Thermosphaeroma. The habitat of T. thermophilum allows easy and accurate collection of field and laboratory data. The relative absence of complicating evolutionary contexts facilitates investigation of sexually selected behavior and morphology. Males are larger than females. Reproduction and mortality are somewhat seasonal. Sex ratio is consistently male-biased, which is attributed to male searching for mates and avoidance of males by non-reproductive females. T. thermophilum is omnivorous. Reproductive timing by females and its contribution to sexual dimorphism are discussed. Males choose mates by size and …

Sulfate Transport In The Sulfate Reducing Bacterium; Desulfovibrio Gigas, Joseph John Ruocco

Biology ETDs

The characteristics and kinetics of sulfate uptake and reduction by Desulfovibrio gigas were studied using radio-labelled sulfate, in order to assess the nature of terminal electron acceptor transport with respect to current membrane transport theory. Although sulfate is not accumulated into an intracellular pool, it is transported across the cell membrane prior to reduction as evidenced by studies on the localization of sulfate binding and reduction by cellular fractions. Sulfate is rapidly bound by whole cells to a stead, -state level which is a function of extracellular sulfate concentration and the availability of an electron donor. Hydrogen sulfide evolution begins …

Cytotoxic Effects Of Vanadium On Pulmonary Alveolar Macrophages, Crystal Joy Sheridan

Biology ETDs

Particles containing vanadium are emitted into the air from fuel oil and coal combustion, and may be inhaled by man. Because such particles are within the respirable size, vanadium may be deposited in the alveolar region of the lung and come into contact with the pulmonary alveolar macrophage. In order to evaluate vanadium cytotoxicity, pulmonary alveolar macrophages were lavaged from dogs, rabbits and rats and then incubated with various concentrations of vanadium pentoxide. The minimum vanadium pentoxide concentration which reduced cell viability from control was 1 mg/m1 for dog macrophages, 2.5 mg/ml for rabbit macrophages and 10 mg/ml for rat …

Analytical Applications Of Ultrasonic Velocity Using Three-Transducer Phase-Shift Detection, Chuan Chen

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

A new method for determining ultrasonic velocity and its appli­cation as a high-performance liquid chromatography (H.P.L.C.) detector is developed. The method involves in using a three­transducer phase-shift device where two transducers alternately transmit 1-MHz continuous wave signals to the same receiver. Ultra­sonic velocity can be calculated from the phase-shift difference between the two cell paths. When the device is used as an H.P.L.C. detector, the reciprocal of the phase-shift difference between the two cell paths is converted to an electrical signal and recorded on a chart paper with respect to retention time. The theoretical principles are discussed and the appropriate …

Egg Recognition And Its Adaptive Significance In Colonial, Altricial Birds, Glen A. Lanier Jr.

Biology ETDs

Naturally occurring populations of three species of colonial, altricial birds, the Piñon Jay (Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus), Great-tailed Grackle (Cassidix mexicanus) and Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica) were tested for egg discrimination and the presence of intraspecific brood parasitism such discrimination would imply. Current theory predicts that, based on the intense pressure to increase personal fitness, brood parasitism, or cheating, should occur when a brood parasite's fitness is enhanced relative to a nonparasite's. Due to the high costs of parental care in altricial birds, selection against such cheaters (actual or potential) should also be intense. Egg rejection is the most common selection mechanism …

Simultaneous Hermaphroditism And Sexual Selection, Eric Charnov

Biology Faculty & Staff Publications

Theory about the evolution of sexual behavior in dioecious species is based on the general assumption that egg production is limited by a female's ability to garner resources to make eggs, not by a lack of sperm to fertilize them. Reproductive success for males is thus limited by access to females (and their eggs). I suggest that egg production by simultaneous hermaphrodites also obeys this principle--that fertilized egg production by an individual is not limited by sperm availability, but by resources allocated to eggs. If true, this suggests that sperm competition (reproduction success through male function) and a form of …

Natural Selection And Sex Change In Pandalid Shrimp: Test Of A Life History Theory, Eric Charnov

Biology Faculty & Staff Publications

This article presents a graphical approach to the genetical theory of sex change (similar to one recently applied to the evolution of simultaneous hermaphroditism). The graphs will help clarify a set of predictions to be tested against data from Pandalid shrimp. These shrimp are protandrous hermaphrodites (reproduce first as males). The goal is to use the genetical theory to predict the age of sex change. Since these shrimp show much geographic variation in this age, they provide a good opportunity to test the evolutionary model.

Clinical Identification Of Mycobacteria Using Character Order Separation Theory, Mary Beth Frankenfeld

Biology ETDs

The intent in undertaking this thesis project was to set up a practical, economic, and reliable method of species identification for Mycobacteria. This was directed specifically at the clinical laboratory setting.

I began by testing the commonly published identification

tests for accuracy and reproduceability. For many of the commonly used tests the reliability left much to be desired. Several months after beginning my research I learned of an evaluation method developed by Dr. Eugene Rypka at Lovelace Foundation. The evaluation method developed by Dr. Rypka (1960) is based on a separation of characters by considering positive, negative or variable results. …
