The population of Catostomus rimiculus from Jenny Creek basin is identified as a dwarfed derivative of the normally much larger C. rimiculus from the Klamath and Rogue River systems. C. rimiculus in Jenny Creek basin are separated from those in the Klamath by a series of 3-10m waterfalls resulting from...
A group of trout that reside in streams of the desiccating lake
basins of southeastern Oregon differ markedly from other known
Salmo. Known commonly as the red-band trout, this fish was subjected
to chromosome analysis for comparison with other species of
western North American Salmo. The karyotype of the red-banded...
The genotype frequencies of one-year-old oyster spat
(Crassostrea gigas) from parents of known genotype, are compared
to the frequencies expected with Mendelian inheritance. The genotypes
are characterized at three enzyme loci, Aspartate amino-transferase
(AAT), Phosphohexose isomerase (PHI) and Leucine
aminopeptidase (LAP), and a general protein locus. In this study
expression...
An aspect of the genetic structure of coastal Oregon steelhead was
explored and found to gradually change in a north to south pattern for the
allelic frequencies of several enzymes. Isocitrate dehydrogenase and
superoxide dehydrogenase were the clearest examples of this pattern of
variation. This pattern was most evident in...
