The Postglacial Phytogeography Of The Iowan Lobe, L. J. Eilers

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The Iowan lobe of the Wisconsin glaciation is located in northeastern Iowa. Evidence is summarized which pertains to the migrations of the regional vegetation following the Wisconsin glaciations. The most recent climatic fluctuation to influence the distribution of the present flora was the Hypsithermal interval. The present distributions of several species are discussed in relation to the postglacial history of the flora. Eleven distribution maps of representative species are included. Most of the distribution patterns can be attributed to factors other than continuing postglacial migration. It appears that these plant distributions are primarily a function of the distribution of available …

Status And Management Of The White-Tailed Deer In Iowa, 1954-1962, Paul D. Kline

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Data regarding populations, hunting, harvest, and biology of Iowa deer (Odocoileus virginianus) gathered by the State Conservation Commission is presented from four ecologically distinct areas. Following 10 consecutive hunting seasons, deer are more abundant and better distributed than before. Abundance through the state is not consistent with available forest habitat. Separate seasons have been permitted for deer of any sex or age by shotgunners and archers on a statewide basis most years. Harvests during recent years have averaged near 20% of an increasing population. Hunting success for gunners during 3-day seasons has been near 45-50%. Bucks outnumber does in …

New Directions In Earth Science In Iowa Schools, Silas W. Schirner

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Earth science was a common part of the high school curricula fifty years ago. It dropped from about 30% to.4% of the total school enrollment from 1900 to 1949. The decline of earth science was paralleled by an increased offering of biology. In the modern high school curricula it is replacing general science, mostly at the ninth grade level. Earth science offerings are on the increase in Iowa from 7 districts in 1960 to 53 in 1965, an increase of 757%, which is roughly 10% of the schools. Other schools have plans for the adoption of an earth science course …

An Investigation Of Social Science Materials That May Be Used As Background Reading In A Literature Program, Allan F. Gates

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Today, as perhaps at no time previously, the English department of the American high school has come in for scrutiny and alteration. The most recent convention of Iowa English teachers (April, 1965) found new programs in literature to be "exciting," new approaches to writing "exciting," new developments in advanced classes "exciting". Innovation and renovation are a part of the scene. As many English teachers are beginning to learn, changes in curriculum and in text materials and in approach to the subject are coming so rapidly that no one has had time to assess the changes or to draw any concrete …

Distribution Patterns Of Eastern Red-Cedar Juniperus Virginiana L. In Henry County, Iowa, Dolores Irma Graf, Roger Q. Landers, R. William Poulter

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The distribution patterns of Eastern red-cedar were studied in Henry County, Iowa, in a general survey and also in three intensive study areas in Marion, Jackson, and Wayne townships. It was found that the abundant seed sources of red-cedar and the predominantly rolling land in Henry County make extensive establishment of red-cedars possible. In the northern tier of townships red-cedars are restricted to fence lines and roadsides whereas in the hilly southern three tiers of townships they are much more abundant.

Morphometric Study Of Two Drainage Basins Near Iowa City, Iowa, Marcus E. Milling, Sherwood D. Tuttle

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A morphometric study was made of the adjoining drainage basins of east-flowing Old Man Creek and Clear Creek in Johnson and Iowa counties, Iowa. In terms of the parameters measured, these basins are essentially similar. They agree with "laws" for drainage basins proposed by Horton and are therefore "normal" rather than "misfit". Part of the Clear Creek basin was invaded by Iowan ice and this probably accounts for some abnormal data. Distinct longitudinal asymmetry and obviously steeper south valley walls are probably best explained by the differences in loess thickness on valley sides.

An Ecological Analysis Of Silver Lake Fen I. The Aquatic Metazoan Fauna, Lawrence Eickstaedt

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The aquatic metazoan fauna and physicochemical features of the Silver Lake Fen, Dickinson County, Iowa, were investigated. The pools displayed high values of alkalinity, calcium and total hardness, sulfate and dissolved solids; neutral to alkaline conditions; and extreme diurnal variability in dissolved gasses, pH and temperature. Fifty metazoan species have been collected from this unique and rigorous habitat, with nine species being most abundant and widespread. Possible causal factors dealing with population dispersion are discussed.

The Scotch Grove Strath In Maquoketa River Valley, Iowa, James Hedges, George W. Darland Jr.

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Maquoketa river, located in the Dissected Till plains of east-central Iowa, was established consequent on the Nebraskan and Kansan drift sheets and superposed across preglacial bedrock valleys eroded into the exhumed preDesmoinesian backslope of the Niagara cuesta. Where deeply entrenched into bedrock uplands, except in the Richland Highlands, modern Maquoketa river is bordered by rock terraces, which bevel structure. The presence of a series of shallow-phreatic caves 20 to 60 feet below the terraces, which transects structure, shows that the terraces are erosional, not structural, features. Caves related to the strath contain evidence of a time of aeration followed by …

A Profile Of Social Studies Teachers In Iowa High Schools: 1962-1963, Olive Regan Hambly

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The primary purpose of this study was to analyze academic preparations in relation to actual teaching assignments of social studies teachers in public, accredited Iowa high schools f or the school year 1962-63. A secondary purpose was to survey social studies high school programs. Class schedules from a number of high schools were examined and analyzed as well as daily teaching programs and major and minor preparations of social science teachers in public secondary schools in Iowa.
