Nesting Common Moorhen In Lancaster County, William C. Garthright
Nebraska Bird Review
On 6 July 1984, at 6 PM CDT, I saw a Common Moorhen at the Capitol Beach marsh, in Lincoln. It was about 10 yards to the north when I first saw it, and I could see the red facial shield and red bill with yellow tip, the yellow legs, a thin white horizontal line along the side, and prominent white patches along either side of dark undertail coverts. It acted mildly agitated, and swam away from me but stayed in the vicinity.
At 7 the next morning I waded into the pond at that spot. This time I saw …
1984 Fall Field Day
Nebraska Bird Review
The 1984 Fall Field Day was held (officially) from noon to noon, 6/7 October, at the4-H Camp at Halsey National Forest. The weather was not the best—light rain early Saturday morning, only a couple of short showers in the afternoon, and no rain Sunday, both days dull and gray. But the attendance was good—87 were officially registered—but the added manpower could not make up for the lateness in the season and the poor weather—the tally on or near the Forest was only 81. In addition, 4 species (marked N) not recorded in the Forest were seen by a party that …
An Exceptional "Fall" Migration Of Shorebirds Along The Big Bend Reach Of The Platte River, Gary R. Lingle, Thomas E. Labedz
An Exceptional "Fall" Migration Of Shorebirds Along The Big Bend Reach Of The Platte River, Gary R. Lingle, Thomas E. Labedz
Nebraska Bird Review
The Big Bend reach of the Platte River extends about 80 miles from Overton to Chapman, Nebraska. This area is characterized by braided channels with numerous riverine islands bordered by cottonwoods (Populus deltoides) and willows (Salix spp.) along the high banks. Habitat between the high banks consists of open water, barren sandbars and mudflats, herbaceous islands, shrub islands, and floodplain forest.
Prolonged summer flows during 1983 were among the highest recorded this century; in excess of 20,000 cfs (cubic feet per second). Spring 1984 also consisted of high flows resulting in much scouring and shifting of …

A Proposal To Fertilize The Overton Arm And Gregg Basin Areas Of Lake Mead, Larry J. Paulson
A Proposal To Fertilize The Overton Arm And Gregg Basin Areas Of Lake Mead, Larry J. Paulson
Publications (WR)
Several limnological studies have been conducted in Lake Mead during the past decade. The recent studies clearly show that most of Lake Mead is deficient in nutrients, especially phosphorus, and very low in productivity. The reservoir-wide average total phosphorus concentration for 1981 - 1982 was only 9 mg/m3. This is below levels found In most oligotrophic lakes and reservoirs. Algal biomass, as measured by chlorophyll-a, averaged only 1.5 mg/m3. That also places Lake Mead in the oligotrophic range. Transparency, as measured by a Secchi disc, averaged 9-5 m in Lake Mead during 1981-1982. That far exceeds …

Book Review: Mammals Of The Northern Great Plains By J. K. Jones, Jr., D. M. Armstrong, R. S. Hoffmann, And C. Jones, Hugh H. Genoways
University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers
Mammals of the Northern Great Plains is an attractive clothbound book that comes in a colored dust jacket showing a female pronghorn walking in the snow. The book is produced in a double-column format set in a 47½ by 32½ pica typebed (I personally do not like the unjustified right-hand margins on both columns). The book contains 206 figures most of which are set in a single column. Of the 206 figures, 80 are distribution maps, 104 are photographs mostly of living animals, 20 are drawings used to illustrate keys or points made in the text, and two are maps …

Effect Of Castration On Plasma Luteinizing Hormone Concentrations In Prepubertal Boars, R. J. Kittock, J. E. Kinder, R. K. Johnson
Effect Of Castration On Plasma Luteinizing Hormone Concentrations In Prepubertal Boars, R. J. Kittock, J. E. Kinder, R. K. Johnson
Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications
Mean concentrations and the occurrence of pulsatile release of luteinizing hormone (LH) were determined in 14-wk-old crossbred boars (50.5 ± 1.5 kg) after bilateral or unilateral castration at 10 wk of age. Blood was collected at 10-min intervals for 5 h. Then gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH; 40 / μg) was given and sampling was continued at 5-min intervals for 1 h. Compared with intact boars, bilateral castration increased (P<.001) mean LH (982 ± 56 vs 389 ± 56 pg/ml), pulsatile releases of LH (7.0 ± .6 vs 2.0 ± .6 pulses/5 h) and LH pulse amplitude (617 ± 29 vs 360 ± 58 pg/ml). Unilaterally castrated boars did not differ from intact boars in any of the above measures of LH secretion. Testis weight increased more between 10 and 14 wk of age in the unilateral castrates than in the intact boars (432 ± 42 vs 245 ± 34%; P<.05). Thus, compensatory hypertrophy occurred within 4 wk of castration. Plasma testosterone was lower for bilateral castrates than for intact animals (.1 ± .8 vs 3.6 ± .9 ng/ml; P<.05) while unilateral castrates (3.8 -+ 1.0 ng/ml) and intact boars did not differ. Plasma estradiol concentrations in bilateral and unilateral castrates were not different from levels found in intact boars (1.8 ± 1.8, 8.8 ± 2.1 and 6.0 ± 1.8 pg/ml, respectively). While mean LH after GnRH was higher in bilateral and unilateral castrates than in intact boars (2,588 ± 147 and 2,693 ± 164 vs 1,928 ± 147 pg/ml; P<.01), castration did not affect the highest LH level after GnRH, time of highest level, magnitude of LH change or rate of LH response during the first 15 rain after GnRH. The rate of change of LH from 0 min to time of maximum LH of the bilateral castrates tended to be greater than that in intact boars (b=202 vs 94; P<.10). These data indicate that the negative feedback of gonadal steroids affects LH secretion.

Verbascum Densiflorum At The Uwm Field Station, James A. Reinartz
Field Station Bulletins
Nine of 260 species of the Eurasian genus Verba scum have been reported from North America; only two (y. thapsus and y. blattaria) are common. Verba scum densiflorum is well established in the U.S. only in southeast Wisconsin in the area immediately surrounding the Field Station where it is an aggressive weed. It differs morphologically, phenologically and ecologically from either y. thapsus or y. phlomoides, the two more common species which it superficially resembles.
Seasonal Changes And Overwintering Of Endoparasites In The Bat (Myotis Lucifugus) In A Southeastern Wisconsin Hibernaculum, James R. Coggins
Seasonal Changes And Overwintering Of Endoparasites In The Bat (Myotis Lucifugus) In A Southeastern Wisconsin Hibernaculum, James R. Coggins
Field Station Bulletins
Eight digenetic trematode species (Phylum Platyhelminthes, Subclass Digena), one cestode species (Phylum Platyhelminthes, Class Cestoidea) and three nematode species (Phylum Nematoda) were recovered from the little brown bat, Myotis lucifugus, at the Neda Mine hibernaculum in southeastern Wisconsin. Bats displayed a rich and diverse helminth fauna throughout the year. Statistically significant seasonal variation was observed for two digenetic trematodes. Mean intensities and prevalence of parasites were highest in autumn and spring and lowest in summer. Highest species diversity occurred in autumn. Greater intensity and prevalence in autumn and spring were correlated with bat swarming and emergence patterns, behavioral phenomena which …

Fungal Flora Of Southeastern Wisconsin, Kristine Ciombor, Martyn J. Dibben
Field Station Bulletins
Since its reorganization in 1981, one goal of the Wisconsin Mycological Society has been a comprehensive long-term survey of fleshy and other fungi of southeastern Wisconsin. Over a period of years, random collections are to be made at a series of selected foray sites to document spring through fall floras. The UWM Field Station is one of these foray sites. Habitat and locality are to be recorded for each specimen along with field characteristics. Each identified collection will be dried and filed in the herbarium of the Milwaukee Public Museum. To date 35 specimens representing 29 species are on file. …

Isolation Of Lactoferrin And Its Concentration In Sows’ Colostrum And Milk During A 21-Day Lactation, J. I. Elliot, B. Senft, G. Ernhardt, D. Fraser
Isolation Of Lactoferrin And Its Concentration In Sows’ Colostrum And Milk During A 21-Day Lactation, J. I. Elliot, B. Senft, G. Ernhardt, D. Fraser
Nutrition Collection
Levels of lactoferrin, an Fe-binding protein with bacteriostatic properties, were determined in the colostrum and milk of Yorkshire sows during a 21-d lactation. Lactoferrin levels averaged 1,100 to 1,300 μg/ml near the time of farrowing, then declined sharply during the first week of lactation. Concentration of lactoferrin showed considerable variation among sows, but not among teat positions (anterior to posterior). A method for isolating high purity swine lactoferrin is described.
Molecular Genetic Characterization Of The Rd-114 Gene Family Of Endogenous Feline Retroviral Sequences, Roger H. Reeves, Stephen J. O'Brien
Molecular Genetic Characterization Of The Rd-114 Gene Family Of Endogenous Feline Retroviral Sequences, Roger H. Reeves, Stephen J. O'Brien
Biology Faculty Articles
RD-114 is a replication-competent, xenotropic retrovirus which is homologous to a family of moderately repetitive DNA sequences present at ca. 20 copies in the normal cellular genome of domestic cats. To examine the extent and character of genomic divergence of the RD-114 gene family as well as to assess their positional association within the cat genome, we have prepared a series of molecular clones of endogenous RD-114 DNA segments from a genomic library of cat cellular DNA. Their restriction endonuclease maps were compared with each other as well as to that of the prototype-inducible RD-114 which was molecularly cloned from …
Body Size And Food Size In Freshwater Zooplankton, Kenneth Bogdan, John Gilbert
Body Size And Food Size In Freshwater Zooplankton, Kenneth Bogdan, John Gilbert
Dartmouth Scholarship
We used double-label liquid scintilation techniques to measure the efficiencies with which eight different sized zooplankton species ingested four celtypes relative to a standard celtype(Chlamydomonas). Efficiency ratios (ERs:clearancerateonceltypeX . clearancerateonChlam- ydomonas) on the three ultraplankton (<5 Iam in diameter) cels (a coccoid bacterium and the algae Synechococcus and Nannochloris) varied greatly among zooplankton species but were not correlated with zooplankton bodylength. Variation in ERs on a muchlarger(17x 14 um) algalcel(Cryptomonas)was only partly explained by zooplankton body length.

Demographic Analysis And Microhabitat Relationships Of A Small Mammal Community In Clearings Of The Great Dismal Swamp, Jean Ferguson Stankavich
Biological Sciences Theses & Dissertations
Small mammals were trapped for 14 months on two grids located within a powerline right-of-way in the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. During 12,354 trap nights, individuals of 10 different species were captured. They included, from highest to lowest density, Reithrodontomys humulis, Ochrotomys nuttalli, Peromyscus leucopus, Blarina brevicauda, Synaptomys cooperi, Microtus pennsylvanicus, Microtus pinetorum, Sigmodon hispidus, Mus musculus and Oryzomys palustris. The demography (densities, reproduction, home range and dispersal) of each species was analyzed when possible. Most of the species were present in relatively low densities, with a number being captured only during the latter months of the study. …

The Phillipine Extended Jurisdiction: Its Cost And Benefits To Fishery Industry, Ricardo R. Federizon
The Phillipine Extended Jurisdiction: Its Cost And Benefits To Fishery Industry, Ricardo R. Federizon
Theses and Major Papers
The Philippines is one of the countries that has its significant relations to fisheries economically and culturally. The coastal waters of the Philippines support over a million fishermen whose only source of income is fishing that does not go far off-shore. Due to population pressure and increased demand for fish as a basic food supply and as a source of foreign revenue income, more and more fishermen fish at the waters that carry a limited resource. As a result, overfishing persists that has a social and economic implication. Conflicts arise among the fishermen. Management measures are not implemented successfully because …

These are snippets—interesting, amusing, sometimes amazing—from Mrs. Hamerstrom’s long experience with birds and birders. She devised her own methods of marking individual birds so they could be recognized while flying free; she had to learn about trapping raptors and adapting these traps to different species; she had run-ins with authorities, and was helped by individual law enforcement officers; and she had problems (as so did others) with five high school boys who attached themselves …
