Dragonflies Of (Anisoptera) Arkansas, George L. Harp, John D. Rickett Jan 1977

Dragonflies Of (Anisoptera) Arkansas, George L. Harp, John D. Rickett

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Previous publications have recorded 69 species of dragonflies for Arkansas. Three of these are deleted, but state records for 21 new species are reported herein, bringing the list to 87 species. Based on lists from adjacent states, an additional nine species are listed as probably occurring in Arkansas. County records are given for both naiads and adults of each species, as well as first and last capture dates for adults. Specific location and capture date are given for new state records when such data are available. The most species (39) have been reported from Washington County. Twenty-nine counties list from …


Update Of Arkansas Odonata (Anisoptera), John D. Rickett Jan 1976

Update Of Arkansas Odonata (Anisoptera), John D. Rickett

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Seventy-five species of dragonflies have been reported in Arkansas. The present study provides 43 species; records of the other 32 are drawn from the literature and personal communication with individuals. A new species, Gomphus ozarkensis, described from western Arkansas in 1975 on the basis of minimal data emphasizes the need for extensive work in this area. Opportunities to collect and identify additional species are discussed.


Checklist Of The Coccinellidae Of Arkansas, E. Phil Rouse, Joan B. Chapin Jan 1976

Checklist Of The Coccinellidae Of Arkansas, E. Phil Rouse, Joan B. Chapin

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

A checklist of 49 species of Coccinellidae in Arkansas is updated by the inclusion of species from the reference collection of the University of Arkansas and the collection in the Louisiana State University. This list extends the range of eight species. Distribution, ecological data if known, and references for their identification are included.


Arkansas Butterflies And Skippers, Leo J. Paulissen Jan 1975

Arkansas Butterflies And Skippers, Leo J. Paulissen

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Since 1955 the writer has been compiling information on Arkansas butterflies and skippers. A list of species is presented from data obtained from personal collecting, extensive contacts with contemporary collectors, and a concerted literature search. A total of 151 species are listed on a chart which also shows from which of five designated areas in the state each species has been reported.


Somatic Pairing In Drosophila Virilis Mitosis, William C. Guest Jan 1975

Somatic Pairing In Drosophila Virilis Mitosis, William C. Guest

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

In neuroblast cells homologous chromosomes tend to pair during prophase of mitosis. Heterochromatic elements of homologous chromosomes are widely separated in very early prophase, at which time the euchromatin is poorly stained. Pairing is intimate for euchromatic portions of chromosomes in early and middle prophase with chiasmata frequently present. Homologous chromosomes most commonly lie side-by-side in late prophase and metaphase. Statistical data are presented to show the frequency of intimate pairing in prophase and side by side pairing in metaphase.


Diapause In The Boll Weevil, Anthonontus Grandis Boheman, As Related To Fruiting Activity In The Cotton Plant, F. L. Carter, Jacob R. Phillips Jan 1973

Diapause In The Boll Weevil, Anthonontus Grandis Boheman, As Related To Fruiting Activity In The Cotton Plant, F. L. Carter, Jacob R. Phillips

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Studies in Arkansas show that boll weevil diapause is related to changes in fruiting activity of the cotton plant. Generally, when larval development took place while fruiting levels were increasing or being held at a high level, diapause in resulting adults was low (0-20%). Diapause was approximately 20-50% when larval development coincided with decreasing fruiting levels, and was 50-100% as true cut-out approached. Regrowth cotton generally lowered diapause incidence and as fruiting levels decreased, diapause increased. Therefore, the boll weevil not only responds to short photoperiods that are characteristic during the fall in the temperate zone, but also may respond …


Respiration Rates Of Two Midge Species At Different Temperatures, George L. Harp, Robert S. Campbell Jan 1973

Respiration Rates Of Two Midge Species At Different Temperatures, George L. Harp, Robert S. Campbell

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Respiration values for Chironomus n. sp. ranged from 0.11 mm³ O₂ /mg/hr at 5C to 0.44 mm³ O₂. /gm/hr at 25C. The range for Chaoborus punctipennis was from 0.15 mm³ O₂ /mg/hr at 5C to 0.56 mm³ O₂ /mg/hr at 25C. These low respiratory rates allow the two species to withstand low oxygen tensions for extended periods of time. Reflecting this ability, both species attained their greatest numerical and biomass values in the profundal regions of three strip-mine lakes whose lower waters become oxygen depleted during thermal stratification.


Chrysomelidae Of Arkansas, E. Phil Rouse, L. N. Medvedev Jan 1972

Chrysomelidae Of Arkansas, E. Phil Rouse, L. N. Medvedev

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

A list of Chrysomelidae of Arkansas is brought up to date by inclusion of species in the reference collection in the University of Arkansas, the collection in the Zoological Institute of Leningrad, and the private collection of L. Medvedev, as well as those reported in the literature. The list consists of 232 species, subspecies, and varieties and the ecological data where known. One new species and one new variety are included.


Relative Abundance, Seasonal Distribution And Taxonomy Of Sphingidae Of Northeast Arkansas, Charles L. Selman, Harvey E. Barton Jan 1971

Relative Abundance, Seasonal Distribution And Taxonomy Of Sphingidae Of Northeast Arkansas, Charles L. Selman, Harvey E. Barton

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

A total of 38 species of sphingids, with keys and descriptions, are reported from Northeast Arkansas. Graphs and tables are presented to show relative abundance and seasonal distribution. Drawings of genitalia, fore tibiae, and forewings, as well as photographs of species in the key are included.
