Biology Of The Boxelder Bug In Cache Valley, Arab Bakir Al-Tikrity

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The boxelder bug, Leptocoria trivittatue (say), is a hanipterous insect belonging to the family corisidae. Although it rarely is a pest of agricultural crops, its habit of invading homes and other buildings for hibernation and to warm itself has made it an annoying household pest. It has proven to be a difficult insect to control. Only a few of the contact insecticides, useful in control of related insect pests, have given satisfactory control of the Boxelder Bug. Because it has not been considered a critical problem, it has not received detailed attention from the scientific investigators. Its close association with …

A Curriculum Study Of The Biological Science Courses In The Secondary Schools And College Of Utah During 1947-48, Merrill H. Gunnell

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

At the present time there is a feeling among biologists in Utah that there should be improvement in biological science courses and course sequence to better fill the needs of the non technical student. There are many students filling group requirements with an accumulation of courses which may not provide them with the more important fundamental concepts and principles in biology. Information concerning these courses in high schools and colleges in necessary to provide a basis for curriculum revision in the field. Such information should be useful in evaluating the present system and suggesting modifications. Because of the need for …

An Analytic Comparative Study Of Certain Biology Textbooks Used At Secondary School Level, Joseph E. Rankin

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

Biology is the science of life and therefore deserves every consideration in the high school curriculum. The world today is making an extensive and intelligent use of biology in solving problems of personal and social significance. Scientists have discovered that certain phases of the subject are more important to man's welfare than others. For this reason it is essential that biology be presented to our high school students not as isolated facts, but in relation to the problem of living. Through this science of living things, the student can gain a healthy respect for facts and for conclusions based on …

A Course Of Study In Biological Science For Rural Schools, Bertha May Hare

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to direct the teacher's attention to the importance of the study of biological science to the elementary school child, to arrange simple, interesting, and workable lessons in such a way that the busy teacher will make a place for them in her already crowded schedule, to broaden the teacher's own view of the common every day things about her.

The Migration Of Birds: Part I, O. R. Clark

Science Bulletin

Among the most characteristic and familiar activities of our birds are their regular seasonal movements between their winter homes and their summer nesting sites.

The Nature Of Adaptations, O. R. Clark

Science Bulletin

In the October number of this bulletin, in a discussion of the influence of environment upon the growth and development of plants, the statement was made that, on the whole, plants are quite well adapted to the conditions under which they grow. As to the manner by which this ''fitness” has arisen there are some differences of opinion and, in the opinion of the writer, a great many misunderstandings. This is a question to which no ''cut-and-dried'' answer can be given but to which a fundamental principle of biology may be applied.

Environment As A Factor In The Growth And Distribution Of Plants, O. R. Clark

Science Bulletin

The form and appearance of plants and the activities which they carry on are due in large part to the inherited characteristics of their ancestors. The influence which heredity exerts should be clearly and forcefully presented to students. At the same time the expression of the hereditary traits may be greatly modified by the conditions under which! the plants grow.

Insects And Man, Roy L. Abbott

Science Bulletin

Because of their relationship to dangerous human parasites, insects have been responsible for the death of more people than all other animals put together. Confirmation of this astounding statement can be seen in the close relationship between houseflies and typhoid fever, between rat fleas and plague, tsetse flies and sleeping sickness, and that between mosquitoes and yellow fever and malaria.

Winter Birds Of Iowa, O. R. Clark

Science Bulletin

The study of birds should certainly form an important unit of every course in high school biology. Furthermore, this study should be continued through the entire school year in order to secure the most desirable results. The fall is an excellent time to begin the study because the number of birds to be found is not so great as to ca use confusion and the students will be able to become familiar with the means of identification and the common recognition marks of many of our common birds.

Household Insects, Roy L. Abbott

Science Bulletin

It was said above (see November Bulletin) that practically every animal is attacked by one or more kinds of insects. Man constitutes no exception to this statement, and it is my purpose in this article to deal with a few of the insects commonly found in or around our homes. Perhaps the most familiar of all household insects is the housefly.

A Microtome Knife Cooler, Ray C. Friesner

Butler University Botanical Studies

Artschwager described a cooling apparatus for handling paraffin ribbons during hot weather. Use of this device in our laboratory during the summer has proven highly satisfactory and at the same time it suggested to us the idea of using the same principle for keeping the knife blade cool while cutting. Accordingly, a copper box was made 12x6x4 inches, as shown in the accompanying figure. A suitable lid should be made from the same material. On the back of this box was soldered a narrow strip of copper, which was allowed to project approximately seven inches beyond the end of the …

Book Reviews

Butler University Botanical Studies

That biology is a unified subject, in contrast to botany and zoology as separate sciences, is continuing to make progress and its advocates are endeavoring to meet the pedagogical needs of teachers of various teaching views, is evidenced by the recent appearance of three new texts within the field. These texts are, Wheat and Fitzpatrick's "Advanced Biology"; Plunkett's "Outlines of Modern Biology"; and Scott's "Science of Biology."

A Study Of Fruit Diseases Occurring In A Mid-Western Market, George W. Fischer

Butler University Botanical Studies

Diseases occurring in a market represent to a fair degree the diseases of fruits and vegetables in the field, since, in the majority of cases, the diseases appearing and developing in the markets are but a delayed expression of infection which occurred in the field. Furthermore, since fruits and vegetables in the markets have been shipped in from various sections of the country as well as from foreign lands, the diseases of these plant products represent not only the phytopathological conditions of the local state or country, but also those of any other part of the world whence they came.

A Comparison Of Strip And Quadrat Analyses Of The Woody Plants On A Central Indiana River Bluff, Stanley A. Cain, Ray C. Friesner, John E. Polzger

Butler University Botanical Studies

This report is concerned with the distribution of woody plants on certain river hills in central Indiana. The location is in the vicinity of Blue Bluffs on White river in Morgan county. Most hills, and particularly river hills of a hundred or more feet in height, show certain obvious differences in the woody plants at the top and the bottom. The relative abundance and evenness of distribution of different species, however, is hard to ascertain by ordinary observation, hence various methods of sampling are used to determine more exactly what are the distributional relationships of various species. Strip and sample …

Certain Floristic Affinities Of The Trees And Shrubs Of The Great Smoky Mountains And Vicinity, Stanley A. Cain

Butler University Botanical Studies

It is widely admitted that the forests of eastern United States reach their culmination in the southern Appalachians, particularly in the Unaka range of North Carolina and Tennessee. It is in the mountains of this range that the greatest height east of the Rocky mountains is reached; in the Black mountains with Mt. Mitchell, the Craggy mountains and the Great Smoky mountains, with some forty peaks over 6,000 feet in altitude, and with Mt. Guyot and Clingman's Dome topping them all. Here on these lofty peaks (for many of them rise over a mile in altitude above their base), in …
