Osteological And Mylogical Comparisons Of The Head And Thorax Regions Of Cnemidophorus Tigris Septentrionalis Burger And Ameiva Undulata Parva Barbour And Nobel (Family Teiidae), Don Lowell Fisher, Wilmer W. Tanner Jun 1970

Osteological And Mylogical Comparisons Of The Head And Thorax Regions Of Cnemidophorus Tigris Septentrionalis Burger And Ameiva Undulata Parva Barbour And Nobel (Family Teiidae), Don Lowell Fisher, Wilmer W. Tanner

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

The anterior osteological elements of the skull, lower jaw, and wrist along with the anterior myological characters discussed and figured in this report suggest that A. u. parva and C. t. septentrionalis are members of distinct groups which can be differentiated by internal morphologic characters. Although comparisons were restricted to highly geographically separated individuals of the same family, their general body form and structure appear to be similar.

A great number of anatomical structures are shared in common, but the significant differences between them include:

1. General skull appearance. The skull of C. is generally lighter, that is the bones …


Pinyon-Juniper Succession After Natural Fires On Residual Soils Of Mesa Verde, Colorado, James A. Erdman Jun 1970

Pinyon-Juniper Succession After Natural Fires On Residual Soils Of Mesa Verde, Colorado, James A. Erdman

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

A mountain brush vegetation typified by Gambel oak (Quercus gambelii) and serviceberry (Amelanchier utahensis) dominates the uplands of Mesa Verde National Park. There is evidence that this brush element is a successional stage that has been maintained by repeated natural fires in a large part of the Mesa Verde landscape. This study was conducted to determine the role of fire in the region's ecology, the nature of the climax pinyon pine (Pinus edulis) and Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) vegetation, and the major successional stages that lead to the climax condition.

Osteology And Myology Of Phrynosoma P. Platyrhinos Girard And Phrynosoma D. Hernandesi Girard, Richard L. Jenkins, Wilmer W. Tanner Jun 1968

Osteology And Myology Of Phrynosoma P. Platyrhinos Girard And Phrynosoma D. Hernandesi Girard, Richard L. Jenkins, Wilmer W. Tanner

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

This study confirms the work of Etheridge (1964) in suggesting the peculiarity of the genus Phrynosoma within the family Iguanidae. The anterior osteology and myology of Phrynosoma platyrhinos platyrhinos Girard and Phrynosoma douglassi hernandesi Girard indicate Phrynosoma to be highly specialized and to differ significantlv from the Iguanid structure as portrayed by Oelrich (1956), Robison and Tanner (1962), and Avery and Tanner (1964). They also differ because of: ( 1 ) absence of lacrimal and postfrontal bones; (2) occurrence of occipital (also mandibular and temporal) spines; (3) posterodorsal shift of the skull elements; (4) divided nature of the M. sternohyoideus, …

Ticks Of The National Reactor Testing Station, Dorald M. Allred Jun 1968

Ticks Of The National Reactor Testing Station, Dorald M. Allred

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

During the period from June, 1966, to September, 1967, 27 amphibians of two species, 446 reptiles of eight species, 561 birds of 81 species, and 4050 mammals of 26 species were examined for ectoparasites at the National Reactor Testing Station in southern Idaho. Of seven species of ticks collected, the predominant one was Ixodes kingi, found on mammals of 12 species. Next in abundance was Dermacentor andersoni found on birds of three species and mammals of 16 species. Haemaphysalis leporispalustris was taken from birds of 10 species and six spvecies of mammals. Four other species of Ixodes were taken from …

Taxonomic Review : Miridae Of The Nevada Test Site And The Western United States, Harry H. Knight Jan 1968

Taxonomic Review : Miridae Of The Nevada Test Site And The Western United States, Harry H. Knight

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

Approximately 5,000 specimens of plant bugs were collected at the Nevada Test Site between 1959 and 1965. Greatest emphasis was given to collecting from June 10–24, 1965, when the desert areas at the test site were unusually profuse with blooming vegetation. A total of 160 species representing 50 genera was taken at the test site. Of these, 7 genera and 96 species are new to science.

Comparative data for these and additional species from other parts of western North America are also included. These represent an additional 449 species, of which 5 genera and 148 species are new to science. …


A Brief History Of The Namru-3 Medical Zoology Program, Harry Hoogstraal Jan 1968

A Brief History Of The Namru-3 Medical Zoology Program, Harry Hoogstraal

United States Naval Medical Research Unit 3: Publications

The NAMRU-3 Medical Zoology program began during Easter week of 1950. We had just closed the NAMRU-3 field station at Torit, in Equatoria Province of soulheastern Sudan, and were heading homeward to the United States. However, the offer to remain in Egypt for a year or two to develop a Medical Zoology department at NAMRU-3 provided an interesting challenge after working for several years in tropical forests and grasslands of Africa and other continents. We shall briefly describe subsequent events under four headings: (1) Medical Zoology in Egypt, (2) Ticks and Tickborne Diseases of the World, (3) Kala Azar in …
