Computed Normal Range Of Iowa Statewide July Precipitation, H. C. Vaughan, D. S. Sheets, G. R. White

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

Iowa summer rainfall distributions are examined to identify small-scale anomalies. Examination of extremely wet and dry summer months shows that large rain amounts fall mainly in small, cellular areas for both extremely wet and dry months. These configurations result from individual rainfall events. Analysis of the distribution of mean July rainfall across the state reveals significant anomalous wet and dry regions that contrast with the background, east-west rainfall gradient. Because of the skewed nature of summer rainfall distributions, the median value is used to represent a more realistic expected rainfall amount for any given year. Some parts of the stare …

Tell-Tail Adaptations For Respiration And Rapid Escape In A Freshwater Oligochaete (Lumbriculus Variegatus Mull.), Charles D. Drewes

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

The aquatic oligochaete, Lumbrimlus variegatus (Order Lumbriculida; Family Lumbriculidae), utilizes a combination of postural and anatomical specializations that enhance gas exchange across the dorsal surface of posterior segments as these segments lay exposed at the air-water interface. Predator avoidance by exposed posterior segments is enhanced by neurobehavioral mechanisms involving a well-developed lateral giant nerve fiber system that mediates rapid escape withdrawal of the worm's tail in response to shadow or mechanosensory stimuli.

Time To Metamorphosis As A Function Of Larval Size In A Population Of Ambystoma Tigrinum Salamanders Consisting Of Cannibal And Typical Morph Phenotypes, Michael J. Lannoo, Michael P. Sweet, Nancy M. Ladehoff, Edmund S. Fangman, William B. Collins

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

Salamander larvae of the species Ambystoma tigrinum are dimorphic in northwestern Iowa. In addition to common typical morphs, there exist rare, specialized cannibal morphs, which are induced environmentally by crowding. Cannibal morph phenotypes are characterized morphologically by their large size, proportionately large heads and hypertrophied vomerine teeth, and behaviorally by facultative cannibalism. During metamorphosis amphibians are particularly sensitive to predation. To help understand why cannibal morphs are uncommon, we have raised cannibal and typical morphs in isolation and under crowded conditions to compare the timing and duration of metamorphosis between these morphs. Results show that larger larvae, most of which …

Diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) From The Excelsior Fen-Complex, Dickinson Co., Iowa, With The Description Of Two New Taxa, Charles W. Reimer

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

This paper presents a summary list of the presently known diatom flora of the Excelsior Fen-complex and a description of two new taxa: Navicula incompta var. incurva Reim. var. nov. and Stauroneis bovbjergii Reim. sp. nov. Notes on some physico-chemical parameters of the habitat and on the ecology of the taxa are included.

An Interpretation Of Hustedt's Terms "Schattenlinie", "Perlenreihe" And "Hocker" Using Specimens Of The Cyclotella Radiosa-Complex, C. Distinguenda, Hust., And C. Cyclopuncta Nov. Sp., Hannelore Hakansson, John R. Carter

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

With the help of light- and scanning electron micrographs HUSTEDT'S terms "Schattenlinie", "Perlenrcihe", and "Hocker" are explained using specimens in the Cydotella radiosa complex, and C. distinguenda HUST. The complicated history of C. operculata (AG.) KUTZ., published elsewhere, has shown that C. distinguenda HUST. is the correct name to be used for this taxon. In this connection the new nomenclatural combination C. distinguenda var. unipunctata nov. comb. is proposed.

Morphological differences are discussed and the possibility of different "unipunctata" species is shown. Distinct morphological features found indicate the necessiry to describe a new species: C. cyclopuncta nov. sp. rather than …

The Mating Systems And Pollination Biology Of Three Species Of Verbena (Verbenaceae), Robert W. Cruden, Kristina K. Baker, Thomas E. Cullinan, Karen A. Disbrow, Kelly L. Douglas, John D. Erb, Kenneth J. Kirsten, Mary L. Malik, Elizabeth A. Turner, Jonathon A. Weier, Sherry R. Wilmot

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

Because their flowers can be cross- and/or self-pollinated Verbena stricta, V hastata and V urticifolia are facultatively xenogamous. We suggest the flowers can be cross-pollinated because I) the fruit set of caged plants was substantially lower than that of open-pollinated plants, i.e. pollinators were necessary for typical fruit set and 2) the flowers of each species attracted a diverse array of hymenopteran, dipteran and lepidopteran pollinators that were capable of moving pollen between plants. Self-pollination was low due to the spatial separation of anthers and stigmas and/or an angled corolla that decreased the likelihood of pollen dropping from the anthers …

A Summer Course In Invertebrate Developmental Biology At Iowa Lakeside Laboratory: A Unique Experience, Carol W. Schutte, Dale J. Witt, Nicole Y. Janosek, Douglas E. Robinson, Edwin C. Powell, George G. Brown

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

The course, "Developmental Biology of Selected Invertebrates'', has been offered in alternate years at Iowa Lakeside Laboratory (Ill) on Lake West Okoboji, Dickinson County, Iowa, since the first summer session of 1983. This course has taken advantage of the great diversity of invertebrates found in the Ill area and has demonstrated to students and faculty alike the exciting phenomena and principles of developmental biology. The course is continuously evolving as new experiments and observations are discovered with each offering of the course.

Community Power In Humboldt County: A Reputational Approach, Jerome Matthew Bearbower

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

The primary objective of this project is to better understand the feasibility of utilizing variables such as population numbers, economic diversity, cultural diversity, and the structure of government as measuring tools for identifying community power distributions within a larger pluralist/elitist framework. This is significant for two reasons. Theoretically, current generalizations in the field can be scientifically tested within an empirical framework. Practically, for those individuals/groups who are working towards social change, an informed picture of leadership distributions can be tantamount to effective participation within the community policy process. Methodologically, this study will utilize the reputational approach, originally proposed by Floyd …
