Experimental taxonomy, 1930-1950 : the impact of cytology, ecology, and genetics on ideas of biological classification

Creator:: Hagen, Joel Bartholemew
Abstract:: During the years between 1930 and 1950 a number of attempts were made to introduce techniques and ideas from cytology, ecology, and genetics into the field of taxonomy. Advocates of this "experimental taxonomy" believed that cytological, ecological, and genetic techniques would provide a rigorous, objective methodology to replace the traditional...

Diverse consumer guilds in intertidal communities of Oregon and the Republic of Panama and their effects on prey assemblages

Creator:: Gaines, Steven D.
Abstract:: Low intertidal communities of Oregon and Panama have many predator and herbivore species. This diversity of consumers is important to the organization of both communities because of qualitative differences among the consumer species in their ability to circumvent specific prey defenses. In Oregon, the red alga Iridaea cordata is protected...

Structural effects of intrinsic and extrinsic perturbations to model membranes

Creator:: Church, Sara E.
Abstract:: The observed and calculated structural parameters of three systems of phosphatidylcholine bilayers in fully-hydrated multilamellar vesicles (MLVs) were determined using x-ray diffraction techniques. The analysis used the x-ray reflections from the low-, intermediateand wide-angle regions of the diffraction patterns in the subgel, gel, rippled and fluid phases to determine the...

Biology of a constitutively-expressed vaccinia virus gene required for DNA replication

Creator:: Roseman, Nancy A.
Abstract:: Replication of vaccinia virus in the cytoplasm of the infected cell occurs under the direction of virally encoded gene products. Expression of approximately 200 viral genes follows a highly regulated temporal scheme which can be followed biochemically and morphologically during the assembly process. In order to dissect this complex genetic...

Aspects of the field and developmental biology of a Apanteles yakutatensis, a parasitoid of Autographa californica

Creator:: Madar, Robert John
Abstract:: Behavioral and ecological aspects of the field and developmental biology of Apanteles yakutatensis (Ashm.), a primary larval parasite of the alfalfa looper, Autographa californica (Speyer), were investigated in 1980 and 1981. Populations of A. yakutatensis were found in commercial peppermint, alfalfa and crimson clover fields involving two areas (Willamette Valley,...

Biology and control of tuber oatgrass (Arrhenatherum elatius (L.) presl. var. Bulbosum (willd.) spenn.)

Creator:: Tanphiphat, Karin
Abstract:: Tuber oatgrass (Arrhenatherum elatius (L.) Presl. var. bulbosum (Willd.) Spenn.) is a perennial grass that often becomes a weed problem in Western Oregon. Control efforts using glyphosate often give unsatisfactory results. The effects of several factors on development of tuber oatgrass were investigated. Long days and cool temperatures (16/8h, 20/10C...

Forests, fresh perspectives from ecosystem analysis : proceedings of the 40th annual Biology Colloquium

Creator:: Waring, Richard H.
Abstract:: Over the last decade a new perspective on how forest ecosystems operate has emerged. Ecosystems appear much more flexible than we once thought. Even the most persistent is still evolving in composition. Yet for all their diversity, very similar processes are seen as operating in all forests, providing a point...

Creator:: Nunez, Jose D.
Abstract:: Samples of weathervane scallops taken on Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife cruises off Oregon waters during 1981-1982 were analyzed for a comparative growth study. No evidence of internal growth marks were found in the shell structure when analyzed by the acetate peel technique. Internal growth lines formed in the...

Influence of temperature and photoperiod on the developmental biology of the obliquebanded leafroller, Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris) (Lepidoptera:Tortricidae)

Creator:: Ranga Rao, Gangavalli V.
Abstract:: Developmental thresholds and thermal unit (degree day) requirements for eggs, different larval instars, pupal stage and preoviposition period were determined for the obliquebanded leafroller (OBLR), Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris). Separate thresholds and degree day requirements were determined for males and females, but differences between the sexes were not significant. However, there...

Prothoracicotropic hormone, cyclic nucleotides, and proctolin in insect central nervous system

Creator:: Kingan, Timothy Gilmore
Abstract:: Prothoracicotropic hormone has been partially purified from whole heads of tobacco hornworm larvae, Manduca sexta. Activity was followed with a larval bioassay. Activity was purified 4400 fold from crude extracts. The hormone was found to be a heat-stable polypeptide with an approximate molecular weight of 25,000 Daltons. The hormone has...
