An Orthocerid Cephalopod From The Cherokee Group Of Marion County, Iowa, Richard Arnold Davis, Carlyle B. Campbell Jan 1966

An Orthocerid Cephalopod From The Cherokee Group Of Marion County, Iowa, Richard Arnold Davis, Carlyle B. Campbell

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Specimens of Pseudorthoceras knoxense (McChesney) occurring in the lower part of the Cherokee Group in Marion County, Iowa, possess body chambers. The shell of these body chambers is distinctly thickened with the thickest portion of the callus on the venter. No reasonably complete peristome is preserved, but growth lines on the body chamber indicate the presence of only a broad, shallow reentrant and a broad, shallow salient.


Observations On Fishery Management In Africa, Kenneth D. Carlander Jan 1966

Observations On Fishery Management In Africa, Kenneth D. Carlander

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Fisheries personnel in Liberia, Nigeria, Ghana, Sudan, Uganda and Egypt were visited in March and April 1965. Harvest of fish from the sea, lakes and rivers is being improved through improved boats, motors, and docking marketing facilities. High dams on the Nile and Volta Rivers are providing new fishery resources which will require research and development of new techniques. Flooded vegetation has caused oxygen depletion in the Volta Reservoir. The dams will also interfere with spawning of fish and clams downstream, and the Nile dam has already reduced the catch of sardines in the Mediterranean. Fish culture is hindered by …


Helminth Parasites Of Rails And Host-Parasite Relationships Of The Trematode Protechinostoma Mucronisertulatum, Bryce C. Redington, Martin J. Ulmer Jan 1966

Helminth Parasites Of Rails And Host-Parasite Relationships Of The Trematode Protechinostoma Mucronisertulatum, Bryce C. Redington, Martin J. Ulmer

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In a survey of 15 soras (Porzana carolina) and 31 Virginia rails (Rallus limicola) collected in Iowa during May-September 1963, Protechinostoma mucronisertulatum was the most frequently encountered trematode of the sora. It does not occur in the Virginia rail. Experimentally-developed metacercariae and adults were obtained and host-parasite relationships studied with special reference to annual incidence of infection in snails. Additional helminths of the sora and the Virginia rail include several representing new host records.

Occurrence Of Waterfowl Along A Proposed Lmpoundment, The Saylorville Reservoir, William H. Schmidt, Arnold O. Haugen Jan 1966

Occurrence Of Waterfowl Along A Proposed Lmpoundment, The Saylorville Reservoir, William H. Schmidt, Arnold O. Haugen

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Waterfowl were studied from early fall 1958 through spring 1959 along selected Des Moines River segments that will be affected by the Saylorville reservoir (now under construction). Periodic counts conducted during fall and spring yielded a total of 1,948 waterfowl (18 species) and 4 coots. During fall three species of geese (410) and five species of puddle ducks (302) were seen. Spring counts indicated 1,186 ducks of 14 species, including diving ducks (8%) and mergansers (11%). Four puddle duck species made up 74% of spring duck populations. Waterfowl per mile data were considered more valuable that waterfowl per hour data …


History Of The Iowa Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit, Arnold O. Haugen Jan 1966

History Of The Iowa Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit, Arnold O. Haugen

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The history of the Iowa Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit is traced from its beginning as a locally sponsored agency in 1932. It became one of the Wildlife Units when the National program was established in 1935. The late J. N. (Ding) Darling, nationally prominent cartoonist, conceived and negotiated the establishing of the Research Unit program. His belief in the soundness of the research unit idea is witnessed by the fact that he helped to finance the Iowa Unit from his personal funds during its first 3 years of existence. The succession of Unit leaders, and their specialties, the increase in …

Junior High Science As A Foundation, Leona K. Adler Jan 1966

Junior High Science As A Foundation, Leona K. Adler

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Science programs designed for junior high school are usually based upon the assumption that this level includes grades 7, 8 and 9 - although, of course other types of groupings have been explored. We must also recognize the assumption that junior high school science is neither the first nor the last exposure of students to science.

Biology Team Teaching At Wahlert, Bernice Ann Huberty Jan 1966

Biology Team Teaching At Wahlert, Bernice Ann Huberty

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Our own program had its remote beginning in the spring of 1961 following the North Central meeting in Chicago. Informal discussions and questions with faculty members found us having had no direct experience with team teaching nor were we familiar with schools using it. We began reading and discussing the then new book: FOCUS ON CHANGE - GUIDE TO BETTER SCHOOLS. An outgrowth of our discussions and a desire to learn resulted in trips to the Chicago area to attend seminars and observe teaching-teams in action.
