The thermal regulation, microclimate, and distribution of the mountain beaver, Aplodontia rufa pacifica Merriam

Creator:: Johnson, Sheldon Robert
Abstract:: An investigation was undertaken to determine the role that temperature might play in limiting the distribution of the mountain beaver, Aplodontia rufa. A field study was carried on from August, 1965, through August, 1966, in the coast mountains of Benton County, Oregon, and consisted of measuring the annual temperature cycle...

The role of perinatal androgens in the development of neuroendocrine and behavioral characteristics of the gray-tailed vole, Microtus canicaudus

Creator:: Spielvogel, Sandra Petersen
Abstract:: These studies examined the role of perinatal androgen in the development of neuroendocrine and behavioral characteristics of gray-tailed voles, Microtus canicaudus. When mature, females exhibited alternating vaginal smear patterns or persistent vaginal cornification; estrogen and progesterone concentrations were not correlated with vaginal smear patterns. Corpora lutea were not observed in...

Evolution of a pheromone signaling system in the salamander genus Plethodon (Amphibia: Plethodontidae)

Creator:: Picard, Amy L.
Abstract:: Animal signaling systems frequently utilize multiple traits to produce and transmit a signal. These system elements may span multiple levels of organization. Functional integration of these traits may be expected to generate concordance in evolutionary pattern among system elements, such that evolutionary change in one system component is correlated with...

Mutual mate choice in a terrestrial salamander, Plethodon shermani, with long-term sperm storage

Creator:: Eddy, Sarah L.
Abstract:: Sexual selection can influence the mating system of an organism through multiple mechanisms. These mechanisms result in variation in reproductive success among individuals, and include scramble competition, endurance rivalries, contests, mate choice and cryptic choice, and sperm competition. Understanding the mating system of a species requires the identification of which...

Evolutionary Biology for the 21st Century

Creator:: Losos, Jonathan B., Arnold, Stevan J., Bejerano, Gill, Brodie, E. D. III, Hibbett, David, Hoekstra, Hopi E., Mindell, David P., Monteiro, Antonia, Moritz, Craig, Orr, H. Allen, Petrov, Dmitri A., Renner, Susanne S., Ricklefs, Robert E., Soltis, Pamela S., and Turner, Thomas L.
Abstract:: We live in an exciting time for biology. Technological advances have made data collection easier and cheaper than we could ever have imagined just 10 years ago. We can now synthesize and analyze large data sets containing genomes, transcriptomes, proteomes, and multivariate phenotypes. At the same time, society's need for...

An investigation into the metamorphosis of Dicamptodon ensatus (Eschscholtz)

Creator:: Clothier, Glen Warren
Abstract:: The investigation was conducted from January 1965 to March 1966. An intensive effort was made to obtain large numbers of animals, as it is believed that unavailability of specimens has been the limiting factor in the amount of research concerning this species. Two hundred and sixty-nine animals were collected. They...

Eelgrass-macroalgae interactions; context-dependency in upwelling-influenced estuaries

Creator:: Hessing-Lewis, Margot
Abstract:: This dissertation investigates the context-dependency of species interactions between seagrass and macroalgae in upwelling-influenced estuaries. In all coastal systems, nutrient loading is multidirectional, resulting from mostly freshwater and marine inputs. The directionality of nutrient inputs may affect the rate of supply of organic matter to the system. In systems where...

The deposition and storage of hepatic lipids in the frog Ascaphus truei (Stejneger) : an electron microscopic histochemical and chromatographic study

Creator:: Belton, John Clair
Abstract:: Electron microscopic, histochemical and thin-layer chromatographic techniques have been used to study some cytological changes associated with seasonal lipid deposition in the liver of Ascaphus. Histochemical and chromatographic information has shown that unsaturated triglycerides occur in great quantities in the liver of pre-ovulatory females and may serve as a solvent...
