The respiratory ecology of the rough-skinned newt Taricha granulosa (Skilton)

Creator:: Smith, John Martin
Abstract:: An investigation was undertaken to determine if respiratory changes might occur in conjunction with migrations of the rough-skinned newt, Taricha granulosa (Skilton) in and out of ponds in the Willamette Valley. A field study was carried on from December 1964 through October 1965 to investigate certain physical and chemical parameters...

Experimental hybridization between Rana pretiosa pretiosa Baird and Girard and Rana cascadae Slater

Creator:: Haertel, John David
Abstract:: Experimental crosses between Rana pretiosa pretiosa Baird and Girard and Rana cascadae Slater, resulted in viable hybrids. Reciprocal differences at the time of fertilization are indicated. A high level of success in producing viable hybrids can be obtained if Rana pretiosa pretiosa is the female of the parent species, The...

A comparative study of the chromosomes from five species of the genus Rana

Creator:: Haertel, John David
Abstract:: The karyotypes of five species of ranid frogs were determined from metaphase plates of bone marrow cells. The colchicine, hypotonic- citrate, blaze-dry technique was used to obtain the plates. Morphometric datawere obtained from the karyotypes and compared with other species of the genus Rana. Like most other members of the...

Morphological variations in populations of Lacerta from islands in the Adriatic Sea

Creator:: Clover, Robert C.
Abstract:: Phenetic relationships in insular populations of Lacerta sicula and L. melisellensis correspond to geologic ages of the islands in two regions of the Adriatic Sea. Populations of L. melisellensis on older islands are more similar to populations of L. sicula than are L. melisellensis from younger islands, and examination of...

An analysis of a population of snowshoe hares, Lepus americanus washingtonii Baird, in western Oregon

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....

Investigation of the circadian rhythm of locomotion in the rough-skinned newt, Taricha granulosa

Creator:: Briggs, Jeffrey Lawrence
Abstract:: Over 56,000 hours of locomotor activity of Taricha granulosa were recorded using two types of low cylindrical plastic monitoring chambers. This species shows distinct rhythms of activity under normal day-night cycles, shortened day-night cycles, constant darkness (DD) and constant light (LL). The rough-skinned newt is day active and crepuscular. I...

Breeding habits, embryonic thermal requirements and embryonic and larval development of the Cascade frog, Rana cascadae Slater

Creator:: Sype, William E.
Abstract:: The breeding habits and embryonic thermal requirements of the Cascade frog of Oregon, Rana cascadae Slater, are described. The limits of temperature tolerance of the pre-feeding stages are from 6° to 27°C for embryos held at constant temperatures. However, for pre-feeding embryos exposed at different developmental stages for short durations...

Aspects of the autecology of the plethodontid salamander, Aneides ferreus (Cope)

Creator:: McKenzie, Donald Samuel
Abstract:: Laboratory experiments and simulated field conditions were utilized to gain a better understanding of the ecology of the clouded salamander. Animals collected in western Oregon were utilized for studies in habitat selection, where it was shown that there was a significant pattern of selection of litter types (rock, bark, and...
