Creator:: Noonan, William Edward
Abstract:: The etiologic agent of salmon poisoning disease was found to be Neorickettsia helminthoeca, although a second organism, the Elokomin fluke fever agent, may also be involved in other areas. Primary cultures of dog leucocytes were found to support the in vitro cultivation of Neorickettsia helminthoeca as were canine sarcoma 503...

Creator:: Dorsch, Anthony James
Abstract:: 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...

Creator:: Stewart, Glenn R.
Abstract:: In recent years, studies dealing with temperature regulation, temperature sensitivity, and physiological responses to temperature in lizards and other reptiles have increased tremendously. It is notable that snakes have been largely ignored in such studies. This no doubt is due to their less direct relationship to ancestral endotherms. However, problems...

Creator:: Black, Hugh C., 1941-
Abstract:: The ecology of a population of snowshoe hares, Lepus americanus washingtonii, was studied in western Oregon from 1960 to 1962. Objectives were to obtain information to control hares, which frequently cause damage to coniferous reproduction in the region, and to compare the life history of this little-studied subspecies with others....

Creator:: Herbst, David B.
Abstract:: Seasonal abundance and life history traits were compared between populations of the brine fly Ephydra (Hydrokyrus) hians Say (Diptera:Ephydridae), from two western Great Basin alkaline salt lakes. Abert Lake, Oregon, has a relatively low salinity (20-30 g/1 total dissolved solids) and more co-inhabitant benthic species than the higher salinity Mono...

Creator:: Robinson, Scott R., 1952-
Abstract:: Using techniques that permit the direct observation of fetuses in vivo, prenatal behavioral development was compared among four species in the rodent family Muridae: the Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus), Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus), cotton rat (Sigmodon hispidus), and spiny mouse (Acomys cahirinus). Rattus and Meriones bear altricial offspring, as do...

Creator:: Stillman, Jonathon Harris
Abstract:: Organismal tolerance to abiotic environmental stresses contributes significantly to setting the distribution limits of organisms, as demonstrated by vertical zonation patterns in the marine intertidal zone. In this thesis, the ultimate (evolutionary) and proximate (mechanistic) causes of tolerance to temperature and emersion stresses associated with the intertidal zone were examined...
