A Comparison Of The Late Wisconsinan Molluscan Fauna Of The Missouri Coteau District (North Dakota) With A Modern Alaskan Analogue, Samuel J. Tuthill

Theses and Dissertations

Study of forty fossiliferous sites in late Wisconsinan sediments from the Missouri Coteau district in central North Dakota has defined the molluscan fauna of the period of geologic time between 12,000 and 9,000 C14 years before the present. The fauna includes twenty-eight taxa of nonmarine gastropods and bivalves and is dominated by branchiates. The modern molluscan fauna of the Missouri Coteau district in North Dakota lacks four species which were resident in the late Wisconsinan and contains no unionids, one additional aquatic species, and is strongly dominated by pulmonate gastropods.

The geology of the Missouri Coteau has been interpreted as …

An Ecologic Study Of An Overloaded Oxidation Lagoon Containing High Populations Of Purple Sulfur Bacteria, Harvey W. Holm

Theses and Dissertations

Concomitant with the addition of large amounts of potato starch wastes to the Grafton, North Dakota, municipal sewage lagoon was the development of a new major microbial population, the purple sulfur bacteria. This study attempts to define ecologic relationships of the lagoon, with special emphasis placed on the action of purple sulfur bacteria in the lagoon.

Chemical changes in the lagoon were investigated by monitoring Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), sulfide, sulfate, phosphate, pyruvate, total carbohydrates, volatile acids, alkalinity, and pH. Lagoon water temperatures were observed daily. Microbial ecologic relationships were deduced by enumerating coliforms, fecal conforms, enterococci, total bacteria (TGE …

A Comparison Study Of The Ecological Distribution Of Small Mammals In Southwestern North Dakota, Lenette K. Svihovec

Theses and Dissertations

The objectives of this study were to survey the small mammal fauna from eight habitats typical of southwestern North Dakota and to determine the habitat preference of the species found. Fifteen species were collected and grouped according to their occurrence in areas of varying vegetation densities.

Four species (Reithrodontomys megalotis, Microtus penn- sylvanicus, Sorex cinereus, and Eutamias minimus) were collected in dense vegetation. R. megalotis and M. oennsylvanicus were most abundant and exhibited preferences for cottonwood bottomlands and lowland meadows. S_. cinereus was also limited to lowland meadows, while Eh minimus occurred primarily in brushy coulees.

Areas of moderate vegetation …

Metazoan Parasites Of The Muskrat, Ondatra Zibethica Cinnamominus, From The English Coulee Grand Forks County, North Dakota, David A. Boyd Iv

Theses and Dissertations

During the fall of 1966 and the spring of 1967, 55 muskrats were trapped along the reaches of the English Coulee, Grand Forks County, North Dakota. These muskrats were necropsied and all ectoparasites and endoparasites collected. The parasites were stained and identified and the number of worms counted to discern the parasite burden.

Eight species of parasites were found. The only ectoparasite encountered was Laelaps multispinosus (89.09 per cent incidence). Four species of trematodes were identified as Echinostoma revolutum (34.54 per cent), Quinqueserialis quinqueserialis (47.27 per cent), Notocotylus urbanensis (41.81 per cent), and Plagiorchis proximus (14.54 per cent). Two species …

An Ecological Study Of Two Adjacent Microtine Populations, James E. Skaley

Theses and Dissertations

Daily movements of two adjacent microtine populations were correlated with the utilization of various types of microenvironments. Animals were trapped, marked and released on a gridded area which transected three ecological zones, a riparian woodland, an edge, and an old field. Average distance traveled between recaptures and standard diameters were used to estimate activity patterns and home ranges of the meadow vole, Microtus pennsylvanicus, and the red-backed vole, Clethrionomys gapperi. Microtus restricted their activity to grassy habitats while Clethrionomys remained in the woodland. There was no ecological overlap between the two species. In spite of relatively high population densities, meadow …
