A Survey Of The Food Habits And Distribution Of The Fishes Of Tuckahoe Creek, Virginia, With Special Emphasis On Lepomis Macrochirus Rafinesque, David Andrew Flemer

Master's Theses

An integral part of the ecological study of any organism is a good understanding of the food relationships. Basic studies of the distribution and ecology of common fresh-water fishes are necessary before a more detailed analysis can be made of the fishes in a particular area. Lagler (1956) states that food habit studies help determine population levels, rates of growth, and condition of the fishes. He also concludes that they serve as a partial basis for determining the status of various predatory and competing forms. Raney (1942) states that an intelligent fishery management program depends heavily upon information gained through …

Substituted Triphenyl Tetrazolium Chlorides, Lawrence Donald Hanback

Master's Theses

The work in this thesis is a continuation of a project started at the University of Richmond in 1952 by A. G. Richardson under the directorship of Dr. J. S. Pierce and Dr. George z.Williams, Director of Clinical Pathology, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland.

The purpose of the research was to prepare triphenyl tetrazolium salts, substituted, particularly in the ortho and para positions, with various electron accepting and electron donating groups. It was hoped that these substitutions would impart enough differences in the properties of the compounds so as to allow d etection of certain biological reactions. The tetrazolium …

A Comparison Of The Blood Oxygen Capacity In Semi-Terrestrial And Aquatic Frogs, Francis Burke Leftwich

Master's Theses

The present investigation is a comparison of the blood oxygen capacity in three species of frogs: a semi-terrestrial form R. pippins, the meadow frog; and two aquatic forms, R. clamitans, the green frog; and R. catesbeiana, the bullfrog. The habitats or these frogs are described by Wright and Wright (1949) as follows: R. pipiens inhabits swampy marsh lands, upland backwaters, overflows, and ponds in the spring. In summer it is found in swamp lands, grassy woodlands, or in cultivated hay and grain fields. In winter it hibernates in pools or marshes. It has been found as far as …

A Comparison Of The Blood Oxygen Capacity In Painted Turtles (Chrysemys Picta Schneider) And Box Turtles (Terrapene Carolina Linne), Harold J. Payne

Master's Theses

Among factors necessary for an animal to maintain life is the presence of an oxygen carrier that will transport a sufficient quantity of oxygen necessary for respiratory metabolism. In animals whose blood contains hemoglobin, which is a pigment that loads and unloads oxygen, this carrying capacity is referred to as blood oxygen capacity. It is a measure of the amount of oxygen that will combine with whole blood when completely mixed with air. It is usually expressed in volumes per cent (ml. 02/100 ml. blood) and corrected to standard temperature and pressure.

A Critical Study Of The Chromosomes In Two Species Of Myxophyceae, John Thomas Mullins

Master's Theses

The Myxophyoeae or blue-green algae have been frequent subjects for cytological investigation since Schmitz (1879) first called attention to two regions in the protoplast. Since that publication the morphological and chemical nature of the genetic material and the mechanism of cell division in the Myxophyceae has been a controversial subject, The evidence that has been presented is, tor the most part, more voluminous than enlightening.

This investigation was undertaken in order to verify the methods and check the results obtained with the smear technique by Strickland (1948). Additional methods were also applied which might enable a more critical evaluation of …
