Mammals Of Utah County, James W. Bee

Student Works

Based on the premises that an accurate determination and description of the mammals of Utah County is a prerequisite for subsequent research in ecology, geographic distribution and evolutionary taxonomy, this thesis is submitted. While it is essentially taxonomic, there are included related subjects to permit a more thorough interpretation of the subject as a whole.

Summarizing, the objectives are:

• a. To list and key the known mammals of Utah County with descriptions and measurements.
• b. To ascertain their geographic range within the county.
• c. To present significant ecological and geological data for the proper appreciation of the problems of evolutionary …

A Study Of A Heron Nesting Colony, Linden J. Leatham

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Herons are well known because of their gregarious nesting habits. Like many others of the lower orders of birds they nest together in pure or mixed colonies of many different combinations and under diverse living conditions. The population of different colonies may vary from a few pairs to many thousands of pairs depending upon the nature and extent of the breeding area, the food supply available and the protection afforded either by natural or artificial means.

In Utah and adjacent areas of bordering states, many types of heron associations have been studied and reported by ornithological workers. Breeding colonies of …

A Survey Of Intestinal Protozoa At The Stockton State Hospital : Stockton, California, Lawrence Melvin Gholz

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

During the past months much has been published in periodicals, especially those of a pictorial nature, which discredits institutions established for the care of' the mentally ill throughout the nation. Many articles have been presented which show an intelligent approach, but the majority of these treatments are by those who are basing too much on a very narrow experience. For example, one news magazine recently printed a picture of a mental patient in institutional garb sitting on a bench in one of the poses most characteristic of a catatonic. The caption of the picture seemed to ignore this significant fact …

Some Microtechnical Experiments And Recommendations Of New Prestaining Techniques, Edward D. Wood

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The preparation and staining of biological structures for microscopic examination is of extreme importance to the science of biology since almost all phases of biological advance are, at least to some degree, dependent upon microtechnical methods. Nevertheless, research workers and students of biological science are sooner or later impressed with the inadequacy of many of the microtechnical methods used by them and their colleagues. In the field of microtechnique there is difficulty in finding standardized methods which will uniformly bring optimum results. Throughout most procedures there seem to be variables over which no definite controls have been established. Microtechniques have, …

Contributions To The Study On Helminth Fauna Of Dillon Beach, Francis C. Gale

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Studies on trematodes of marine organisms of the Pacific Coast have been of a scattered and fragmentary nature. J. Stafford (1904) collected and described a number of trematodes from fishes of the north Pacific, but, in his historical survey, Manter (1926) fails to mention specifically any studies covering the waters south of Canada. More recently, in the United States, several contributions to the field have been made by Dr. John E. Guberlet at the University of Washington and at the College of the Pacific by Dr. Alden Noble, under whose guidance this study was made. James Park (1937) revised the …

The Effects Of Estrogens On The Thyroid & Adrenal Glands Of The Male Turtle, Jeanne Frances Genrich

Bachelors’ Theses

Up to the present time there appears to have been very little research done on the thyroid or adrenal glands of the turtle. This seems to be especially true in respect to the effects of estrogens on these two glands. However, some work has been reported on other members of the reptilian family; particularly garter snakes, and more recently, the lizard.

Some Technique Methods For Preparing Slides Of The Paramecium, Irene Padley

Du Jardin (1835) was probably the first to recognize in protozoa, living substance. To this substance, he applied the word sarcode. In 1861, Max Schultze expressed the idea that sarcode and protoplasm are the same thing.

A Study Of The Digestive System In The Sparrow (Passer Domesticus), Henry Joseph Wisniewski

Bachelors’ Theses

The digestive tube proper of the Sparrow beings with the Oesophagus. This is a soft tubular organ which serves to convey food rapidly from the pharynx to the stomach. It extends along the median ventral margin of the neck lying dorsal to or to one side of the trachea. Posteriorly, at the base of the neck and shortly in front of the sternum it broadens slightly and gives rise to a dilated region of the oesophagus, namely the Crop, "whose secretion serves to moisten the food or even to initiate digestion." In larger birds as in the pigeon, the crop …

The Urogenital System Of The Male And Female English Sparrow, Passer Domesticus, Peter Paul Wisniewski

Bachelors’ Theses

The testes is a pair of oval organs posterior to the lungs and anterior to the kidneys. Each testes is attached by a mesentery to the anterior end of the kidney. An adrenal gland is located at the anterior portion of each testes. The vasa deferentia are slender convoluted tubules. Each arises from the median edge of the testes passes cauded along the ventral surface of the kidney, paralleling the ureter and enlarging slightly at the distal end to form a small seminal vesicle, which enters the urogenital region of the cloaca by a papilla. The male urodaeum is smaller …

The Life History Of Cyclocoelum Microcotyleum, George Alfred Butler

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Monostome trematodes of the family cyclocoelidae, taken from the American coot, Fulica americana, were described as a new species, Cyclocoelum microcotyleum, by Noble in 1933. These flukes were found in the air-spaces or the coelomes of birds taken from the waterways near Stockton, California.

Before this present work various attempts had been made to determine the lite history of this fluke. A number of fresh-water snails, indigenous to the region in which the definitive host was found, were exposed to miracidia of this fluke, but observations or infection were not obtained. In the winter of 1940-41 specimens of …
