Oögenesis in the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus
was studied by histological methods and by histochemical techniques
for polysaccharides, lipids, and nucleic acids Urchins were
collected at Yaquina Head, Oregon at regular intervals between
April 1966 and March 1967. An attempt was made to correlate
seasonal variations in the coastal water...
Gonatus fabricii (Lichtenstein, 1818), G. magister Berry,
1913, G. anonychus Pearcy and Voss, 1963, and Gonatopsis borealis
Sasaki, 1923 (Gonatidae) are squid forming a major portion of the
cephalopod fauna found off the Oregon coast. A study was undertaken
to determine the morphological differences among the four species
of squid....
SH 714 (1, 2-alpha-methylene-6-chloro-delta-4, 6-17-alphahydroxyprogesterone
acetate) synthesized by Schering AG is an highly
antiandrogenic, nonestrogenic compound. The present investigation
was undertaken to determine the compound's effect upon the cell
associations of the germinal epithelium in the mature rat. From germinal epithelium for this dosage level of SH 714 was exhibited...
Callistoma costatum and Tegula funebralis, marine intertidal
snails from low and high littoral zones respectively, were exposed to
air for two, six and twelve hour periods, during which time their
oxygen consumption rates were measured. The animals were then
immersed in sea water and their respiration rates recorded for a...
The Mount Jefferson Primitive Area is one of three High Cascade wilderness areas in Oregon. It is second in size among these, covers approximately 136 square miles, and with the addition of a large roadless area in Warm Springs Indian Reservation represents the only one of these areas in Oregon...
The object of this study was to investigate the possibilities
of tracing aggregational behavior among Bufo boreas boreas
larvae with reference to tadpole development, and to attempt to determine
what aggregational factors initiate and maintain this behavior.
Additionally, an attempt was made to determine the significance
of temperature as an...
During the spring of 1963 and 1964 an investigation of a small
mammal community was made in McDonald Forest, near Corvallis, Oregon.
The revised North American Census of Small Mammals procedure was
used, and from this census the species composition of the community
was determined. The relationships of several genera...
