Managing Farm Fishponds For Bass And Bluegills, Verne E. Davison

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

A Fishpond is a delightful part of a farm or ranch. Where a good site exists for a pond, it makes good use of the land. The impounded water often has other uses too. It adds beauty to the farm and provides recreation for farmers, ranchers, and their friends.

Fishponds are profitable when they are managed well. To produce the most income and home use, they must afford good fishing year after year. Most disappointments result from mistakes in management.

This bulletin points out the importance of good sites and the necessity for erosion control, proper stocking, and weed control. …

Courtship Activities Of The Anatidae In Eastern Washington, Paul A. Johnsgard

Papers in Ornithology

The many interesting and sometimes spectacular aspects of waterfowl courtship have been observed and recorded by several writers. Among the best and most complete descriptions are those of Bent (1923, 1925), Townsend (1910, 1916), Wetmore (1920), and Hochbaum (1944). However, for the most part these are unillustrated, deal with only a few species, or are based on limited observations.

Cyclustra Ardeae N. Sp. And The Status Of Dendrouterina Fuhrmann, 1912 (Cestoda: Dilepididae), Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Three cestodes representing a species of the genus Cyclustra Fuhrmann, 1901, were obtained by the writer from a great blue heron, Ardea herodias L., collected at Neville, Rock County, Wisconsin, on April 14, 1947. The bird was an adult male, weighing 2,630 grams. Two other great blue herons from this locality were also autopsied, but were negative for this cestode. Two species of Cyclustra are known, bath from ardeiform birds. The Wisconsin material differs from these in morphological details, and is described herein as new.
The cestodes were stained with Semichon's acetic carmine, and mounted entire. The strobila of this …

Improving Curd-Forming Properties Of Homogenized Milk, R. B. Maxcy, W. V. Price, D. M. Irvine

Department of Food Science and Technology: Faculty Publications

Homogenizing milk for cheese reduces fat losses in the whey (6, 9, 12) and decreases leakage of fat from cheese stored at high temperatures (6, 11). Homogenization of milk influences its curd-forming properties with rennet. Trout (10) has reviewed this subject thoroughly. Gel strength is reduced and rate of coagulation is increased. Reduction in gel strength is directly related to the effectiveness of homogenizing.
Apparently no single explanation of the mechanism responsible for the lowering of gel strength by homogenization of the milk has been commonly accepted. One possibility is the adsorption of proteins on the newly created fat surfaces. …

Research Notes: Notes On The Life Cycle Of Fibricola Cratera (Trematoda: Strigeida), Glenn L. Hoffman

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

The life cycle of Fibricola cratera (Barker and Noll, 1915) Dubois, 1932 was reported in 1940 (Cuckler, A. C., Journal of Parasitology 26 (6-Suppl.): 32-33). The writer repeated the life cycle at the University of Iowa in 1948-49 and wishes to add a few observations. Apparently the life cycle of Fibricola texensis Chandler, 1942 (Chandler, A. C., Transactions of the American Microscopical Society 61: 156-167, 1942) is very nearly identical to that of F. cratera. The genus has been reviewed by C. P. Read (Transactions of the American Microscopical Society 67: 165-168, 1948).

Neascus Nolfi N. Sp. (Trematoda: Strigeida) From Cyprinid Minnows With Notes On The Artificial Digest Recovery Of Helminths, Glenn L. Hoffman

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

During an examination of fish from Turtle River, Arvilta, North Dakota, a new Neascus (larval strigeid) was recovered from the musculature and integument of the northern creek chub, Semotilus a. atromaculatus (Mitchell) and the northern common shiner, Notropis cornutus frontalis (Agassiz). This new species is named in honor of Dr. L. O. NoIf, University of Iowa.

Mammal Observations At Lower Back River, Northwest Territories, Canada, H. L. Gunderson, W. J. Breckenridge, J. A. Jarosz

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

The Back River drains the interior barrens of the Northwest Territories of Canada. According to Blanchet (1930) the river has its headwaters in a high plateau and flows through a sand plain basin (not in accord with conditions of our base camp). The country north of the Back River drainage is of low relief. The river takes a northerly direction for the last one-third of its course. To the east, between the river and Wager Bay, the country is known to be very rugged.

The first known exploration of the Back River, then called the Great Fish River, was by …

An Analysis Of The Variation Of Food Contents In The Stomach Of The Common Perch (Perca Flavescens), Carl Lewis Heller

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This study was conducted primarily to determine the variation in the amount of food ingested by the common perch according to the time of day; secondarily, to determine any variation in the types of organisms ingested as food . In the teaching of the biological sciences, the teacher strives to enlighten and stimulate the students toward a better understanding of the living world. This study shows promise of furthering information about a common organism and should be of interest to the teacher and students.

Succession In A Dune Community At Mentor Headlands, Ohio, Harold G. Marshall

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

Continual sand deposition on the Lake Erie shore, adjacent to the mouth of the Grand River, has led to the formation of a developing sand dune community and through the years a successional pattern of plant growth. An analysis was made of the general plant composition of the area by means of four transects directed from the bare beach inland. Definite zonation of specific plant species was present throughout the community in parallel formation. Named for the dominant plant types they contained, the major stages were: dune grass, poplar, aspen, and oak.

Albino Mutants In The Golden Hamster, Robert J. Kinney

Bachelors’ Theses

Coat color variations or other inherent changes in the golden hamster, Mesocricetus auratus Waterhouse, have been uncommon. With a few exceptions, these animals have been remarkably uniform since 1930, when they were reared in captivity for one first time.
