A Computer Analysis Of Relationships Between Orders Of Chrysophyta, David P. Olds

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The division Chrysophyta has previously been formulated to include three diverse groups. A computer analysis was made of the individual orders within the division to determine the "naturalness" of this grouping and also to show how computer techniques may be used for this purpose. The computer methods are described, and a possible system of classification of the division based on the computer analysis is presented.

Sex Induction In Equisetum Arvense L., Stephen Davis

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Equisetum arvense was studied for sexual development. The effects of crowding and transplantation were observed to influence sexual maturity and growth patterns of the gametophytes. Regeneration experiments demonstrated that sexual development is environmentally induced.

Ecology Of Sceloporus Occidentalis Longipes Baird And Uta Stansburiana Stansburiana Baird And Girard On Rainier Mesa, Nevada Test Site, Nye County, Nevada, Wilmer W. Tanner, James M. Hopkin

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

This paper constitutes the first in a series of terminal reports to the United States Atomic Energy Commission for Contract AT (11–1) 1496. It includes a major study on the ecology and life history of Sceloporus occidentalis longipes Hollowell and a comparative study of three populations of Uta s. stansburiana Baird and Girard with special emphasis given for the Uta population on Rainier Mesa.

The study plot of major concern in this report is located on Rainier Mesa of the Nevada Test Site. Reports for other study plots (Frenchman's Flat–four study areas–and Mercury Valley ) will follow in the near …

Fisheries Report No 11 - The Fauna, Flora And Planned Usage Of The Dampier Archipelago, A. A. Burbidge, R. I. T. Prince

Fisheries Research Reports

The Dampier Archipelago is a group of islands off the north west coast of Australia (20 20! - 20 45'S, 116 Cast . 117°E), first discovered by William Dampier in 1699 and subsequently named after him by the Baudin expedition of 1801. This name has since been applied by some authors to include all islands from Roebourne to North West Cape, including both Barrow Island and the Monte Bello Islands, but it is more correctly applied to those islands within a 30 mile radius of the town of Dampier.

Ir. recent times, three parties have visited the Archipelago and examined …

Scirpus Validus And S. Acutus: A Question Of Distinctness, Marlyn Miller, E. O. Beal

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

An analysis of 32 populations of bulrushes in the Scirpus validus-acutus complex growing in Itasca State Park and prairie ponds to the west indicates that most of the populations are referable to neither S. validus nor S. acutus but, rather, are intermediate in morphology. Further, the supposedly characteristic features by which the two nomenclatural species have been identified are erratically correlated.

Pine Reproduction In Itasca State Park: Analysis In Moisture-Nutrient Coordinates, Vilis Kurmis, Henry L. Hansen

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Natural pine reproduction was studied in 36 forest communities representing the range of ecological variability of the upland forest in Itasca Park, Minnesota. The method of synecological coordinates was used to evaluate reproduction in relation to stand and site conditions. In the absence of fire, predominantly medium to nutrient-rich forest soils favor the growth of herbs, shrubs, and hardwoods under the open canopies of pine and aspen stands. There are very few red pine (Pinus resinosa Ait.) and jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) seedlings under these conditions, and growth of white pine (Pinus strobus L.) seedlings is severely restricted.

Size-Structure Correlation In Developing Roots Of Cissus And Syngonium, David L. Berquam

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The development of conducting tissues in relation to root size is examined in Cissus sicyoides L. and Syngonium podophyllum Engl. Evidence is presented that such relationships arise earlier in development than has hitherto been described. Their early appearance calls into question the hypothesis that such relationships reflect a solution to problems of water economy in mature tissues. While pattern determination in Syngonium is similar to that anticipated on the basis of published investigations, a new 'kind of size-structure correlation is identified in Cissus. In light of this fact, a need to broaden the philosophical bases for an interpretation of form …

A Taxonomic Study Of The Marine Algae Of Netarts Bay, Oregon, Charles Jerome Kunert

Dissertations and Theses

Gathering taxonomic data is fundamental to any biological or ecological research. It was the intent of this paper to increase the storehouse of taxonomic information by studying the marine algae of one section of the Oregon coastline. Netarts Bay was chosen because of its accessibility and generally primitive nature. It is in an area of Oregon largely untouched by phycologists and so offered an opportunity for original research.

Techniques of collecting and preserving specimens were kept as simple as possible, thus allowing a proportionately greater amount of the available time to be spent in the classification of the organisms. The …
