Variation in response of channel catfish to Henneguya sp. infections (Protozoa: Myxosporidea)
J. P. McCraren, M.L. Landolt, G. L. Hoffman, F. P. Meyer
1975, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (11) 2-7
Infections in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus, Rafinesque) induced by the sporozoan Henneguya (Protozoa: Myxosporidea) result in seven known and diverse disease manifestations. Most outstanding is an interlamellar branchial form responsible for significant losses among immature catfish, and a unique papillomatous form. The question of whether or not the species of Henneguya involved in these...

A high 87Sr 86Sr mantle source for low alkali tholeiite, northern Great Basin
R. K. Mark, Hu C. Lee, H. R. Bowman, F. Asaro, E.H. McKee, R.R. Coats
1975, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (39) 1671-1678
Olivine tholeiites, the youngest Tertiary units (about 8–11 m.y. old) at five widely spaced localities in northeastern Nevada, are geologically related to the basalts of the Snake River Plain, Idaho, to the north and are similar in major element and alkali chemistry to mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB) and island arc...
Sandrewia, n. gen., a problematical plant from the Lower Permian of Texas and Kansas
S.H. Mamay
1975, Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology (20) 75-83
Sandrewia, n. gen., monotypified by S. texana, n. sp., is a plant from Lower Permian beds of north-central Texas and east-central Kansas. It is characterized by stout axes with spirally disposed, laxly inserted, petiolate leaves; the laminae are broadly flabelliform with coarse, open venation....
Trace element evaluation of a suite of rocks from Reunion Island, Indian Ocean
R. A. Zielinski
1975, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (39) 713-734
Reunion Island consists of an olivine-basalt shield capped by a series of flows and intrusives ranging from hawaiite through trachyte. Eleven rocks representing the total compositional sequence have been analyzed for U, Th and REE. Eight of the rocks (group 1) have positive-slope, parallel, chondrite-normalized REE fractionation patterns. Using a...
Uranium determination in natural water by the fissiontrack technique
G.M. Reimer
1975, Journal of Geochemical Exploration (4) 425-431
The fission track technique, utilizing the neutron-induced fission of uranium-235, provides a versatile analytical method for the routine analysis of uranium in liquid samples of natural water. A detector is immersed in the sample and both are irradiated. The fission track density observed...
Death feigning by ducks in response to predation by red foxes (Vulpes fulva)
Alan B. Sargeant, L. E. Eberhardt
1975, American Midland Naturalist (94) 108-119
Predation by captive red foxes (Vulpes fulva) on approximately 50 ducks comprised of five species was observed in tests conducted at the Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center, Jamestown, North Dakota. Most ducks were attacked from a rear or lateral position and seized in the cervical or thoracic region. All birds...
Leech (Hirudinea) infestations among waterfowl near Yellowknife, Northwest Territories
James C. Bartonek, David L. Trauger
1975, Canadian Field-Naturalist (89) 234-243
Fourteen species of aquatic birds, including 11 species of ducks, were infested with leeches Theromyzon rude and Placobdella ornata near Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. Leeches infested 88% of 41 American Wigeon (Anas americana) and 31% of 86 Lesser Scaup (Aythya affinis) examined after death. Lesser Scaup captured by drive-trapping contained significantly...
Thermomagnetic analysis of meteorites, 2. C2 chondrites
D.E. Watson, E.E. Larson, J.M. Herndon, M.W. Rowe
1975, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (27) 101-107
Samples of all eighteen of the known C2 chondrites have been analyzed thermomagnetically. For eleven of these, initial Fe3O4 content is low (generally <1%) and theJs-T curves are irreversible. The heating curves show variable greater (up to 10 times) than it is initially. This...
Calculated geochronology and stress field orientations along the Hawaiian chain
E.D. Jackson, H. R. Shaw, K.E. Bargar
1975, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (26) 145-155
A new method has been discovered for calculating ages of the main shield building stages of volcanoes along the Hawaiian chain from Kilauea to the Hawaiian-Emperor bend. The method is based on a graphical technique for hypothetical subtraction of distance intervals that...

Environmental factors affecting the strength of walleye (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum) year-classes in western Lake Erie, 1960-70
Wolf-Dieter N. Busch, Russell L. Scholl, Wilbur L. Hartman
1975, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (32) 1733-1743
Commercial production of walleyes (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum) from western Lake Erie declined from 5.9 million pounds in 1956 to 140,000 pounds by 1969. Since 1956, marked irregularity in year-class success has developed. Only four year-classes were considered good during 1959–70. The rate and regularity of water warming during the spring...
Predation by fish on walleye eggs on a spawning reef in western Lake Erie, 1969-71
David R. Wolfert, Wolf-Dieter N. Busch, Carl T. Baker
1975, Ohio Journal of Science (75) 118-125
Nearly 2,000 fish representing 21 species were captured with experimental gillnets on Kelleys Island Shoal during the spawning and incubation periods of walleyes (Stizostedion v. vitreum) in 1969-71. A total of 794 stomachs were examined. Four species contained walleye eggs: yellow perch (Perca flavescens), spottail shiner (Notropis hudsonius), stonecat (Noturus...

Geothermal significance of eastward increase in age of upper Cenozoic rhyolitic domes in southeastern Oregon
Norman S. MacLeod, George Walton Walker, Edwin H. McKee
1975, Open-File Report 75-348
Rhyolitic domes, flows, and ash-flow tuffs of Miocene to Holocene age form an important part of the thick sequence of Cenozoic volcanic rocks that cover southeastern Oregon east of the Cascade Range. Rhyolitic domes 11-17 m.y. old are widespread, particularly in the easternmost part of the state and in adjacent...

M. R. Miller
1975, Journal of Wildlife Management (39) 168-173
Digestive organ lengths, weights, and volumes in each of three groups of mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) were determined at the end of a 21-day period, during which one group was starter (control diet), another group was fed whole corn (low fiber content), and the third fed alfalfa pellets (high fiber content)...

G.C. Curtin, H. D. King
1974, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (2) 581-592
Geochemical studies in the Chief Mountain Soda Creek area, Clear Creek County, Colo., show that anomalously high amounts of Au, Ag, Pb, Zn, Cd, and Bi in mull ash, and Cu and Hg in soil, correspond to a negative gravity anomaly in the Front Range mineral belt. The correspondence of...
