The Hemigrapsus oregonensis population at Coquille Point in
the Yaquina Bay Estuary on the Central Oregon Coast was studied
from April, 1972 through May, 1973. The population was found to be
vertically stratified from the 1 ft level to the 5 ft level. Population
densities were found to be most...
Under defined cultural conditions, zygotes of the brown alga
Fucus distichus L. Powell divide synchronously to form two-celled
embryos at approximately 24 hours after fertilization. These two
cells differ from one another in gross morphology, ultrastructure,
cytochemistry, and developmental fate. Cytochemical staining and
autoradiography indicated that a sulfated polysaccharide was...
The performances of newly-established gravel incubation systems designed to use unfiltered water for production of unfed salmon fry were evaluated at Netarts Bay, Oregon, and at Little Port Walter, Alaska.
Research was divided into two phases. The first consisted of laboratory studies to develop fry quality testing procedures and to...
The purpose of this investigation was to determine if the level
of aspiration procedure consisting of knowledge of results plus goal-setting
possesses a motivational property as reflected in performance
on subject matter criterion instruments above that of knowledge of
results alone in an undergraduate biology course. In addition the
study...
The purpose of this study was to investigate several hypotheses concerning specific demonstrable attitudes toward education, critical thinking ability, and affective behaviors as these were manifested by students in the BSCS environmental module, Investigating Your Environment (IYE), and in more structure-oriented biology classes. Participants in the study were students in...
