This study was designed to determine whether
dietary protein is a nutritional factor influencing the
bioavailability of dietary fluoride. To accomplish
this, a factorial experiment was conducted with
weanling rats fed a purified diet to determine the

The location of a lactating mouse in a cage of two compartments,
a nest area and a larger wire cage, was continuously recorded for ten

A guild of three and possibly five tip moths
(Rhyacionia spp.) occurs on ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa)
in southeastern Montana, northwestern South Dakota, and
southwestern North Dakota. Trapping results indicated that
many of these species may be flying simultaneously, and
individual species relative abundances showed west-to-east
trends.
Tip moth larvae...
