Drainage Controls In The Austin Chalk Cuesta Area Of Dallas, Texas, E. F. Blakemore Jr.

Field and Laboratory

The Austin chalk cuesta is a prominent topographic feature which trends northeast across central Texas from Austin through Waco and Dallas. The escarpment is formed through differential erosion of beds at the contact between the Austin chalk and Eagle Ford: shale, the overlying chalk forming the cuesta. The area described in this paper is situated 6 miles west of Dallas, south of the Trinity River Cross Valley.

A Taxonomic And Ecological Study Of Acridinae Of Utah (Orthoptera-Locustidae), Herald C. Bennion

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Orthoptera, especially the family Locustidae, is one of the most important and most interesting orders of insects in the state of Utah. It includes a polyphagus group of great economic importance in the state. The topography and climate of Utah varies from forested alpine slopes to hot arid desert wastes, several life zones being represented. This great variation from desert to alpine in Utah presents a rather unique region for taxonomic and ecological studies of the Orthoptera.

The most familiar representatives of the insect order Orthoptera are the long-horned grasshoppers, locusts, crickets, katydids, and cockroaches. Orthoptera are characterized by Comstock …

Ecological Study Of The Weed Population Of Eastern Nebraska, Elva L. Norris

University Studies (University of Nebraska) (1888–1984)

EXACT knowledge of the relations existing between weeds and cultivated crops is very limited. This is true also of the amount of viable weed seed present in arable soil. Impressions and observations have been recorded, but very few quantitative investigations have been made. The numerous circulars and bulletins about weeds, issued by many experiment stations, deal mostly with descriptions of species and methods of weed control. The present research was undertaken primarily to determine the relationship which exists between weeds and cultivated crops, but also to obtain an estimation of the number of viable weed seeds present in the soil. …

Correlations In Aquatic Ecology With An Example Of Their Application To Problems Of Plankton Productivity, Gordon A. Riley

Journal of Marine Research

Much of the ecological work of the present time is concerned with the direct observation of natural variations in environment and biota, followed by an examination of the relationships between variables and speculation as to their meaning….

A Quantitative Study Of The Phytoplankton Of Lake Michigan Collected In The Vicinity Of Evanston, Illinois, William A. Daily

Butler University Botanical Studies

There have been but few papers published in which a quantitative study of the phytoplankton of Lake Michigan was considered. A study of this nature was therefore undertaken, using the Sedgwick-Rafter method.

The Fresh-Water Sponges Of Wisconsin, James Russell Neidhoefer

Bachelors’ Theses

The fresh-water sponges were observed but not recognized as animals at a very early period. The early investigators thought they were plants; later workers, colonial protozoa. In 1696, Leonard Plukenet first made public mention of them; and later, in i745, Linnaeus described them as Spongia and made mention of their, "globuli". After Linnaeus the term Spongia changed many times until, in 1816, Lamarck introduced the generic name Spongilla.

An Ecological Study Of Ashland Park Community, Angeline Rose Tauchen

Student Work

The purpose of an ecological study of a community is to bring out various phases of social life as they really exist, with reference to their interdependence upon environmental forces. Few comprehensive studies of the human community from the ecological viewpoint have been made; the field is practically unsurveyed. Human ecology shows a striking similarity to plant ecology in the effect of definite external processes upon life. Because of the bearing of many ecological factors upon the social life of Ashland Park Community, the district offers innumerable opportunities for research in this phase of sociology.

A Quantitative Study Of The Phytoplankton Of The White River Canal, Indianapolis, Indiana, Charleen Coffing

Butler University Botanical Studies

Numerous quantitative investigations of lake and river plankton are recorded for this country, but there seems to have been little work done on quantitative studies of canal phytoplankton. The present quantitative investigation of one year on the phytoplankton of the White river canal in Indianapolis, Indiana, follows a previous year of study of the taxonomy and periodicity of the plankton flora of that canal. There are apparently no published records of quantitative studies of plankton made in the vicinity of Indianapolis.

The Radiometer: A Simple Instrument For The Measurement Of Radiant Energy In Field Studies, J. M. Aikman

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

During the past decade important advances have been made in the measurement of light and radiant energy. Although previous to this time emphasis was placed on the refinement of instruments for measuring light, during this period emphasis has been placed on the measurement of radiant energy since plants are affected by rays both longer and shorter than those of the visible spectrum.
