1999 (Eleventh) Report Of The Nou Records Committee, Joel G. Jorgensen

Nebraska Bird Review

The functions and methods of the NOU Records Committee are described in its bylaws (NOU Records Committee 1986). The committee's purpose is to provide a procedure for documenting unusual bird sightings and to establish a list of all documented birds for Nebraska. THE OFFICIAL LIST OF THE BIRDS OF NEBRASKA was first published in 1988 (NOU Records Committee 1988) and has been appended nine times (Mollhoff 1989, Grenon 1990, Grenon 1991, Gubanyi 1996a, Gubanyi 1996b, Gubanyi 1996c, Brogie 1997, Brogie 1998, Brogie 1999). An update of the OFFICIAL LIST OF THE BIRDS OF NEBRASKA was first published in 1997 (NOU …

Larvae And Pupae Of New Guinea Tabanidae (Diptera). I. Species Of Chrysops Meigen, James T. Goodwin

Insecta Mundi

Information on the immature stages of Australasian Tabanidae found in published literature dealt with only 17 species, all so far known only from Australia and none representing the genus Chrysops Meigen. Two of the four Australian species of Chrysops are found on the island of New Guinea, and both, C. albicinctus Wulp and C. australis Ricardo, are described and illustrated.

A Taxonomic Review Of Species Of The Neotropical Pericaline Genus Oreodicastes Maindron, 1905 (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Lebiini), Danny Shpeley, George E. Ball

Insecta Mundi

Based on adult character states, a key is provided to the seven known species of Oreodicastes Maindron 1905 (type species Oxyglossus subcyaneus Chaudoir 1843). Two new species (with type locality) are described: 0. virginia (Fazenda dos Campos, Virginia, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil) and 0. zikani (Macieiras, Itatihia, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil).

Scarab Beetles From Pocket Gopher Burrows In The Southeastern United States (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), Paul E. Skelley, Robert D. Gordon

Insecta Mundi

This paper reports on the scarab beetles collected during a survey of nonparasitic arthopods living in burrows of the southeastern pocket gopher (Geomys pinetus Rafinesque, Geomyidae). Three new species are described: Aphodius bakeri, A. baileyi and A. gambrinus. A key to species of Aphodius occurring in these burrows is presented. Distributional data is provided for species of Aphodius and one species of Euphoria occurring in this microhabitat. Aspects of life histories of burrow inhabiting insects are speculated upon.

Taxonomy, Phylogeny, And Biogeography Of The Genus Asydates Casey (Insecta: Coleoptera: Melyridae), Jonathan R. Mawdsley

Insecta Mundi

The genus Asydates Casey (Coleoptera: Melyridae) is revised, containing three species from Arizona and California: A. explanatus Casey; A. inyoensis (Blaisdell), new combination; and A. rufiventris Casey. The monotypic genus Pseudasydates Blaisdell is placed in synonymy with Asydates Casey, syn. nov., and Asydates puncticeps Blaisdell is placed in synonymy with Asydates explanatus Casey, syn. nov. A key separating adults of Asydates species is provided, and the results of a computerized cladistic analysis of Asydates species are presented. GIs mapping of Asydates species distributions indicates that these species are nearly allopatric, with A. explanatus found in the lower Colorado River basin …

Hillsborough Independent Monitoring Program Technical Memorandum Palm River Benthic Monitoring 2000, Stephen A. Grabe, David J. Karlen, Christina M. Holden, Barbara Goetting

Reports

The EPCHC proposed an increase in benthic macro invertebrate sampling in the Palm River during the three "wet seasons" preceding the initiation of withdrawals, to be followed by at least three years of post-diversion sampling. This technical memorandum summarizes data collected during the August 2000 sampling period and complements data collected in prior years (Grabe & Karlen 1999; Karlen et al. 2000).

Additional Records Of The Passenger Pigeon In Texas, Stanley D. Casto

Bulletin of the Texas Ornithological Society

A review of the literature, particularly newspapers, has provided additional information on the history of the Passenger Pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) in Texas. These data establish new county records, document breeding and arrival of flocks in various localities, as well as providing insight into the impact of pigeons on swine production, the commerce in meat, skins and eggs of pigeons, the use of pigeons in trap-shooting and the alleged return of the species to southern Texas during the early 20th century.

High Species Diversity In Fleshy-Fruited Tropical Understory Plants, James F. Smith

Biology Faculty Publications and Presentations

Key innovations may increase the number of taxa in a clade that possesses the proposed innovation in comparison to its sister group that lacks the trait through either increased speciation or reduced extinction rates. Comparing sister clades across several independent lineages provides statistical support that the trait has increased species diversity. Previous studies have indicated that there may not be a relationship between biotic dispersal and higher species diversity, but only a few of these studies specified habit, habitat, or type of disperser. No previous study has specified all of the above parameters and used a phylogenetic approach. This article …

Combined, Functional Genomic-Biochemical Approach To Intermediary Metabolism: Interaction Of Acivicin, A Glutamine Amidotransferase Inhibitor, With Escherichia Coli K-12, D. R. Smulski, L. L. Huang, M. P. Mccluskey, M. J. Gladnick Reeve, Amy Cheng Vollmer, T. K. Van Dyk, R. A. Larossa

Biology Faculty Works

Acivicin, a modified amino acid natural product, is a glutamine analog. Thus, it might interfere with metabolism by hindering glutamine transport, formation, or usage in processes such as transamidation and translation. This molecule prevented the growth of Escherichia coli in minimal medium unless the medium was supplemented with a purine or histidine, suggesting that the HisHF enzyme, a glutamine amidotransferase, was the target of acivicin action. This enzyme, purified from E. coli, was inhibited by low concentrations of acivicin. Acivicin inhibition was overcome by the presence of three distinct genetic regions when harbored on multicopy plasmids. Comprehensive transcript profiling using …

Virtual Mothers And The Meaning Of Parenthood, Annette Ruth Appell

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Professor Appell supports the use of the traditional parental rights doctrine, which accords biological parents, particularly mothers, parental status alienable only voluntarily or upon proof of unfitness. She defends the doctrine against the criticisms that it is regressive and does not protect the interests of children or de facto parents. She contends that the attacks on traditional parental rights doctrine are misguided because they work to the disadvantage of families who do not easily fit the dominant norm-minority, single-mother, lower income, or politically and legally under-represented families. After examining the constitutional underpinnings and application of the parental rights doctrine as …

Islam Dan Alam Sekitar, A. Sharom

Research Publications (2000 to 2005)

Tidak boleh dinafikan bahawa keadaan alam sekitar kini menghadapi suatu krisis. Ini adalah kerana penggunaan sumber-sumber semulajadi berasaskan model-model pembangunan sekarang, terlalu membebankan dunia kita. Jikalau manusia ingin menghentikan pencemaran dan pembaziran yang sedang berlaku, kita mestilah menukar paradigma pembangunan yang sedia ada. Pada perspektif seorang peguam, penukaran ini mestilah mengambil bentuk undang-undang dan polisi-polisi barn yang berkesan. Apa-apa penukaran dalam perundangan memerlukan suatu asas ideologi yang teguh. Dalam ini, prinsip-prinsip keagamaan adalah suatu sumber yang elok untuk dikaji dan digunakan. Agama Islam kaya dengan prinsip-prinsip yang sesuai bagi perlindungan alam sekitar. Kertas kerja ini akan mengkaji beberapa surah-surah Al …

Adolescent And Young Adult Substance Use: Association With Sensation Seeking, Self Esteem And Retrospective Report Of Early Pubertal Onset. A Preliminary Examination, Catherine A. Martin, T. K. Logan, Carl Leukefeld, Rich Milich, Hatim Omar, Richard Clayton

Psychology Faculty Publications

Structured questionnaires were administered to investigate the relationship between early pubertal onset, substance abuse, sensation seeking, and self-esteem. The current study presents data from 1,002 subjects, who were followed from the 6th to the 10th grades and again at the age of 20. In females, early pubertal onset was associated with greater cigarette use and lower self-esteem. Further the interaction of early pubertal onset and low self-esteem was predictive for cigarette use in females, as was early pubertal onset and high sensation seeking. Late pubertal onset was associated with decreased alcohol use and lower sensation seeking in males, with the …

On The Evolution Of Overconfidence And Entrepreneurs, Antonio E. Bernardo, Ivo Welch

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper explains why seemingly irrational overconfident behavior can persist. Information aggregation is poor in groups in which most individuals herd. By ignoring the herd, the actions of overconfident individuals (“entrepreneurs”) convey their private information. However, entrepreneurs make mistakes and thus die more frequently. The socially optimal proportion of entrepreneurs trades off the positive information externality against high attrition rates of entrepreneurs, and depends on the size of the group, on the degree of overconfidence, and on the accuracy of individuals’ private information. The stationary distribution trades off the fitness of the group against the fitness of overconfident individuals.
