The immunobiology of the Asian clam, Corbicula fluminea /
(1984)
The freshwater bivalve, Corbicula fluminea, was selected for the study of the internal defense mechanisms of hemocoelic invertebrates. Corbicula hemocytes, the primary effector cells involved in defense reactions, consisted ...
Erythrocytic phosphates in amphibians.
(1981)
Enzymatic, colorimetric and/or ion-exchange chromatographic analyses of amphibian erythrocytic organic phosphates (EOPs) were performed to: (1) explore interspecific diversity, (2) determine the intraspecific effects of ...
Critical thermal maxima and thermal tolerance in small mammals.
(1981)
The CTM was then used to compare the thermal tolerances of five species of small mammals (laboratory mice, Mus musculus; white-footed mice, Peromyscus leucopus; gerbils, Meriones unguiculatus; laboratory rats, Rattus ...
Plumage coloration and dominance behavior in three species of sparrows of the genus Zonotrichia.
(1983)
I investigated the general hypothesis that plumage variability in winter flocking birds acts as a status signal using three species: Harris' sparrow (Zonotrichia querula), white-crowned sparrow (Z. leucophrys) and ...
Pollen characters in relation to the delimitation of Myrtales.
(1982)
Pollen representative of the Lythraceae, Punicaceae, Sonneratiaceae, Trapaceae, Oliniaceae, Combretaceae, Alzateaceae, Penaeaceae, Crypteroniaceae, Melastomataceae, Myrtaceae and Onagraceae was examined with SEM and TEM. ...
Genetic and morphologic variation within and among populations of the black-tailed prairie dog.
(1981)
Genetic variation for seven variable loci and morphometric variability for 17 cranial characters were analyzed for black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) within and between populations in eastern New Mexico. ...
A phenetic assessment of the Ciconiidae (Aves) using skeletal morphology.
(1982)
The stability (measured using matrix correlations) of phenetic classifications based on partitions of continuous morphometric data (skeletal measurements from three groups of birds) was compared for analyses involving two ...
The cliff swallow bug Oeciacus vicarius (Cimicidae : Hemiptera) :
(The University of Oklahoma., 1984)
The cliff swallow bug is a nest-dwelling, polyphagous ectoparasite of the cliff swallow Hirundo pyrrhonota. The bugs anticipate the spring arrival of the migratory swallows by aggregating in the necks of the nests in ...
Life with and without sex :
(1980)
Nepotistic behavior was never observed among parthenogenetic whiptails for several possible reasons. First, it appears that members of parthenogenetic whiptail populations are not genetically identical due to independent ...
