The Histology Of The Small And Large Intestine Of Rana Pipens, Chester R. Mantey

Bachelors’ Theses

The Frog in past years and in most recent years, has been used to a great extent in the experimental sciences. In the field of physiology, the Frog becomes a great factor for experimental purpose. In addition, the science of pharmacology also makes use of the Frog in determining the actions of many drugs. But, this thesis will endeavor to take up the histology of an organ of Rana pipens, thus limiting the subject matter to this particular phase. It would only be proper at this time, to cite some of the important early workers in Histology. Bichat (1800) …

In Memoriam, Lawrence Bruner, Myron H. Swenk

Nebraska Bird Review

On January 30, 1937, at his home at 3033 Deakin Street in Berkeley, California, Lawrence Bruner, pioneer American economic entomologist and a world authority on grasshoppers and related insects (Orthoptera), as well as the person who more than any other individual was responsible for the organization of the Nebraska Ornithologists’ Union, passed away after a severe illness of a few days that culminated a rather extended period of gradually declining health. It is difficult to epitomize any account of the life accomplishments of this man, because they were so many and varied, and perhaps for this purpose there …

The Flora Of The Tasco Lake Region, Sheridan County, Kansas, Raymond W. Darland

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

It has been customary in writing theses dealing with taxonomic problems to collect data from an entire county. Having had occasion to collect botanical specimens from the Tasco Lake for work in biology at the Sheridan High School, the wealth of plant life to be found here became apparent. The area ranges from xerophytic forms on the uplands to the hydrophytic forms in the lake and marshes. Many of the latter have never been reported from Western Kansas. Collections in preserving fluid were made of the water forms found and specimens of the landforms were mounted on regulation-sized sheets properly …

Notes On The Distribution Of Amphibia And Reptilia Of Ellis County, Kansas, Lawrence A. Brennan

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

Comparatively little has been done concerning the listing or recording of the Amphibia and Reptilia of Ellis County, Kansas. What records there are of the species are for the most part unpublished. Early papers dealing with Kansas herpetology are few in number. Little has been done in Ellis and the surrounding counties, so there seems to be a need for such an ecological study as has been carried out in this paper “Notes on the Distribution of Amphibia and Reptilia of Ellis County, Kansas . " The objectives kept in mind in preparing this report have been to attempt to …

Probolitrema Tomalis Sp. Nov. (Trematoda) From Dasyatis Dipterura And Brachylaemus Virginianus (Dickerson) (Trematoda) From Didelphys Virginiana, Elsie Mae Graves

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The genus Probolitrema was established by Looss (1901) in recognition of the location of vitellaria and multiple testes entirely outside the extra caecal field in Anaporrhutum richardii Lopez (1888) which differentiated it from A.albidum Ofenheim (1900) with the vitellaria within and the testes partly within and partly without the intra-caecal field. Ofenhein had created the genus Anaporrhutum for the above two species because of their multiple testes. A.albidum was a new species described by him; his A.richiardii Lopez specimens he considered to be the same species as Distomum richiardii Lopez, described in detail by Monticelli in 1893. Looss pointed out …

An Analysis Of The Habitat Distribution Of The Vertebrate Fauna Of A Stream- Bank Association In Western Kansas, Olive Falls

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

This present paper is chiefly concerned with the distribution of animals. The environmental and faunal conditions of Western Kansas have not been studied, and they are rapidly changing, due to human occupancy of the region. Therefore, a major object of this report is to put on record information in regard to the present vertebrate animal life in Western Kansas. Profound changes in the native conditions have already been recognized; for example, many animals have become extinct, and others are gradually vanishing. It is in the hope of contributing something of the facts of the status of the species in this …

Bird Studies Of The Bear River Marshes, Ernest W. Parkinson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The establishment of the Bear River Bay Bird Refuge has created for the state of Utah an immense and valuable biological field, a veritable paradise for naturalist and sportsman alike. The naturalist wants a place to study wild life and the sportsman desires game. With the proper control of open seasons on wild fowl the hunting instinct and incentive for the sport should be satisfied for the sportsman. To the naturalist this region will open up bountiful treasures of knowledge that is to be gained only by intense and prolonged scientific study.

Within this new field, and the limited time …

A Morphological Study Of Daphniidae, Stanley E. Zawodny

Bachelors’ Theses

Th importance of fresh-water organisms is usually underestimated, especially by the very people who live near bodies of fresh-water and who thus can observe such organisms throughout the year. It is really easier to study minute life forms than it is to study larger organisms, for the former can be examined under all kinds of conditions as experiments are performed upon them. The purpose of this thesis is to give a short survey of the chief type among the fresh-water, Crustaceans, with special reference to morphology.

The Endocrine Glands And Their Secretions, Eldred M. Moehrke

In the following work the endocrine system was considered in general with special emphasis on the thyroid and para-thyroid glands. In some manner,which we do not well understand,the thyroid and the para-thyroid glands affect the other ductless glands and it is this relationship that is stressed.

General Morphology And Physiology Of The Urogenital System Of The Opossum, Robert Schuster

Bachelors’ Theses

From the very first, I wish the state that the title, "General Morphology and Physiology of the Urogenital System of the Opossum," is not entirely descriptive of the text which is to follow. However it is as nearly descriptive as I could hope to make it.

It seems that during the history of biological research the workers have done comparatively little work on the Opossum. This neglect was probably due to its inaccessibility, since it is found only in Australia and in the semitropic regions of North America. In the nineteenth century the eminent authority on anatomy, Sir Richard Owen, …
