Environmental biology of Endria inimica (Say) (Homoptera:Homoptera:Cicadellidae)

Creator:: Gustin, Ralph Donald
Abstract:: The leafhopper vector, Endria inimica (Say), of wheat striate mosaic virus is a bivoltine insect which overwinters as second generation eggs in a state of diapause. Under experimental conditions, egg diapause resulted from rearing females under short days (12L:12D) and diapause was averted by rearing females under long days (15L:9D)....

Computer simulation of animal population dynamics

Creator:: Milne, David M., U.S. International Biological Program. Coniferous Forest Biome, and University of Washington
Abstract:: Two major objectives were accomplished. 1. A summary of the work done during 1970-71 on a single species intra-specific competition model was written. 2. A multispecies predator-prey model, incorporating the competition mechanism of the single-species model, was developed almost to completion. The single species model is a computer program that...

J.H. Woodger and the emergence of supra-empirical orders of discussion in early twentieth century biology

Creator:: Allen, Marshall William
Abstract:: This investigation attempts to demonstrate that the development of the early 20th century biological enterprise involved a striving for a unifying theoretical perspective.

William Keith Brooks (1848-1908) : a case study in morphology and the development of American biology

Creator:: Benson, Keith Rodney
Abstract:: The major historical studies that have examined American biology have emphasized the development of experimental biology at the end of the nineteenth century. In this characterization, the descriptive branch of biology has often been treated as less than important and, in several cases, as a hindrance in the application of...

Studies of northern root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne hapla, Chitwood 1949) biotypes and some factors associated with their biology and pathogenicity

Creator:: Ogbuji, Rufus Omez, 1941-
Abstract:: Root-knot nematodes were among the earliest plant-parasitic nematodes to be recognized. Before 1949, they were considered as the one species Heterodera marioni (Cornu 1887) Goodey 1932. In 1949 Chitwood completed a taxonomic study of the root-knot nematodes and placed them in a separate genus Meloidogyne. Economically they are one of...
