The Ohio Journal of Science — Index 1951-1970 THE OHIO JOURNAL OF SCIENCE — INDEX 1951-1970 JANE L. FORSYTH AND CHRISTINE M. GORTA Department of Geology, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio 43403 INTRODUCTION It is almost 20 years since the first General Index to The Ohio Journal of Science, which covered the issues from the beginning (1900) through 1950, was published (Miller, E. M., 1953, published by The Ohio State University and The Ohio Academy of Science). It is time, therefore, for another general index, dealing with issues appearing since 1950. This is that index. Unlike the first index, there is no separate listing of full references by author; rather, this is simply a combining of all the entries from all the yearly indexes from 1951 through 1972. Basically these original entries remain unchanged here, though mistakes found in a few were corrected, and some have been slightly reworded in order to fit better into this multiple listing. Entries relating to book reviews occur only for the years of 1963 through 1970, because book reviews were not included in the earlier indexes. It should also be noted that, though a few of these books represent merely a reprinting of older, out-of-date books, these books are not so identified in the entries in this index. Preparation of this index has been mostly handled by Miss Christine M. Gorta, under the direction of Dr. Jane L. Forsyth, Editor of The Ohio Journal of Science from 1964 to 1973, but others have also contributed to this work—mainly Misses Lauran Boyles and Laura Witkowski—contributers whose efforts are gratefully acknowledged. Support for this index was supplied by the Journal itself.

Washington, DC 20402-9328 ISBN O-1 6-042075-X Foreword on-indigenous species (NIS)-----those species found beyond their natural ranges—are part and parcel of the U.S. landscape. Many are highly beneficial. Almost all U.S. crops and domesticated animals, many sport fish and aquiculture species, numerous horticultural plants, and most biologicalN control organisms have origins outside the country. A large number of NIS, however, cause significant economic, environmental, and health damage. These harmful species are the focus of this study. The total number of harmful NIS and their cumulative impacts are creating a growing burden for the country. We cannot completely stop the tide of new harmful introductions. Perfect screening, detection, and control are technically impossible and will remain so for the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, the Federal and State policies designed to protect us from the worst species are not safeguarding our national interests in important areas. These conclusions have a number of policy implications. First, the Nation has no real national policy on harmful introductions; the current system is piecemeal, lacking adequate rigor and comprehensiveness. Second, many Federal and State statutes, regulations, and programs are not keeping pace with new and spreading non-indigenous pests.

  • Diverse Deep-Sea Anglerfishes Share a Genetically Reduced Luminous

The genomes of two symbiont species have qualities common to vertically transmitted, host-dependent bacteria. However, a number of traits suggest that these symbionts may be environmentally acquired. To determine how anglerfish symbionts are transmitted, we analyzed bacteria-host codivergence across six diverse anglerfish genera. Most of the anglerfish species surveyed shared a common species of symbiont. Only one other symbiont species was found, which had a specific relationship with one anglerfish species, Cryptopsaras couesii. Host and symbiont phylogenies lacked congruence, and there was no statistical support for codivergence broadly. We also recovered symbiont-specific gene sequences from water collected near hosts, suggesting environmental persistence of symbionts. Based on these results we conclude that diverse anglerfishes share symbionts that are acquired from the environment, and *For correspondence: that these bacteria have undergone extreme genome reduction although they are not vertically [email protected] (LJB); transmitted.

  • A Faunal Survey of the Elateroidea of Montana by Catherine Elaine
    A faunal survey of the elateroidea of Montana by Catherine Elaine Seibert A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Entomology Montana State University © Copyright by Catherine Elaine Seibert (1993) Abstract: The beetle family Elateridae is a large and taxonomically difficult group of insects that includes many economically important species of cultivated crops. Elaterid larvae, or wireworms, have a history of damaging small grains in Montana. Although chemical seed treatments have controlled wireworm damage since the early 1950's, it is- highly probable that their availability will become limited, if not completely unavailable, in the near future. In that event, information about Montana's elaterid fauna, particularity which species are present and where, will be necessary for renewed research efforts directed at wireworm management. A faunal survey of the superfamily Elateroidea, including the Elateridae and three closely related families, was undertaken to determine the species composition and distribution in Montana. Because elateroid larvae are difficult to collect and identify, the survey concentrated exclusively on adult beetles. This effort involved both the collection of Montana elateroids from the field and extensive borrowing of the same from museum sources. Results from the survey identified one artematopid, 152 elaterid, six throscid, and seven eucnemid species from Montana. County distributions for each species were mapped. In addition, dichotomous keys, and taxonomic and biological information, were compiled for various taxa. Species of potential economic importance were also noted, along with their host plants. Although the knowledge of the superfamily' has been improved significantly, it is not complete.

Medler INTRODUCTION HIS bulletin attempts to present as accurate and complete a T guide to the leafhoppers of Minnesota as possible within the limits of the material available for study. It is realized that cer- tain groups could not be treated completely because of the lack of available material. Nevertheless, it is hoped that in its present form this treatise will serve as a convenient and useful manual for the systematic and economic worker concerned with the forms of the upper Mississippi Valley. In all cases a reference to the original description of the species and genus is given. Keys are included for the separation of species, genera, and supergeneric groups. In addition to the keys a brief diagnostic description of the important characters of each species is given. Extended descriptions or long lists of references have been omitted since citations to this literature are available from other sources if ac- tually needed (Van Duzee, 1917).

  • A Sacrificial Millipede Altruistically Protects Its Swarm Using a Drone
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A sacrificial millipede altruistically protects its swarm using a drone blood enzyme, mandelonitrile Received: 05 January 2016 Accepted: 29 April 2016 oxidase Published: 06 June 2016 Yuko Ishida1,2, Yasumasa Kuwahara1,2, Mohammad Dadashipour1,2, Atsutoshi Ina1,2, Takuya Yamaguchi1,2, Masashi Morita1,2, Yayoi Ichiki1,2 & Yasuhisa Asano1,2 Soldiers of some eusocial insects exhibit an altruistic self-destructive defense behavior in emergency situations when attacked by large enemies. The swarm-forming invasive millipede, Chamberlinius hualienensis, which is not classified as eusocial animal, exudes irritant chemicals such as benzoyl cyanide as a defensive secretion. Although it has been thought that this defensive chemical was converted from mandelonitrile, identification of the biocatalyst has remained unidentified for 40 years. Here, we identify the novel blood enzyme, mandelonitrile oxidase (ChuaMOX), which stoichiometrically catalyzes oxygen consumption and synthesis of benzoyl cyanide and hydrogen peroxide from mandelonitrile. Interestingly the enzymatic activity is suppressed at a blood pH of 7, and the enzyme is segregated by membranes of defensive sacs from mandelonitrile which has a pH of 4.6, the optimum pH for ChuaMOX activity. In addition, strong body muscle contractions are necessary for de novo synthesis of benzoyl cyanide. We propose that, to protect its swarm, the sacrificial millipede also applies a self- destructive defense strategy—the endogenous rupturing of the defensive sacs to mix ChuaMOX and mandelonitrile at an optimum pH. Further study of defensive systems in primitive arthropods will pave the way to elucidate the evolution of altruistic defenses in the animal kingdom. Swarm-forming animals have unique defense systems for protection.

Whitehouse 2020 Name: Ryan J. Whitehouse ABSTRACT Date of Degree: May 1, 2020 Institution: Mississippi State University Major Field: Agricultural Life Sciences Major Professor: Richard L. Brown Title of Study: Biodiversity of Bariditae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Conoderinae) in Mississippi Pages in Study: 262 Candidate for Degree of Master of Science A survey of Bariditae in Mississippi resulted in records of 75 species in 32 genera and included two undescribed species and 36 new state records. An additional two species were recognized as possibly occurring in Mississippi as well. Diagnoses for all of the genera and species in the state are provided and keys to the genera as well as all of the species were made. Species were found in every county within Mississippi and are representative of the Bariditae fauna of the southeastern United States. Open, prairie-like habitats and aquatic wetland habitats were the habitats with the highest biodiversity of Bariditae in the state. Species of Baris, Geraeus, Linogeraeus, and Odontocorynus, were found in the highest numbers and Linogeraeus and Sibariops were found to be the most speciose genera in the state.

    A SYNOPSIS OF THE GENUS BARINUS CASEY IN NORTH AMERICA (COLEOPTERA CURCULIONIDAE) ELBERT L. SLEEPER Department of Zoology and Entomology, The Ohio State University, Columbus 10 While studying the members of the genera Barinus Casey and Barilepton LeConte recently, the author discovered several new forms and not a little confusion as to the limits of these genera. The species falling in the genus Barinus are discussed here. Those falling in Barileptcm and related genera with connate claws will be discussed in a forthcoming paper. The two afore mentioned genera are very alike in general appearance and in most morphological characters, thus leading to considerable confusion. The only reliable character for separating the two genera, which can be easily distinguished, is the form of the tarsal claws. In Barilepton the last tarsal segment is single and not in the least cleft at the tip. In Barinus the last tarsal segment has two claws though these are very closely connate to near the tip in some species. In Barinus robustus (Blatchley) and Barinus productum (Casey) this character is a little difficult to see but careful examination will show that the claws are actually connate to very near tip. There are no basic differences in either the male or female genitalia. The author is indebted to the persons and institutions which made material available for study. The author is particularly indebted to Miss Rose E. Warner of the United States National Museum, Dr. Milton W. Sanderson of the Illinois State Natural History Survey and Dr. J. J. Davis who made arrangements which allowed the author to examine material in the Blatchley Collection at Purdue University.

  • A New Species of Batyle from Utah (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)1
    No. 4 GUINEA PIG HEART AND HYPOTHERMIA 233 A NEW SPECIES OF BATYLE FROM UTAH (COLEOPTERA: CERAMBYCIDAE)1 JOSEF N. KNULL College of Biological Sciences, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210 ABSTRACT Specimens of a cerambycid belonging to genus Batyle, collected on Compositae 20 miles east of Escelante, Garfield Co., Utah, and sent for identification, are identified as belong- ing to a new species, B. knowltoni. The black color, short antennae, coarse dorsal punc- tures, and black pubescence distinguish it from other species in this genus. A small series, a black Batyle, unlike anything previously recorded, was received for identification from Dr. W. J. Hanson, Utah State University, Logan, Utah. A description of the form follows: Batyle knowltoni sp. n. Male.—Form and size of Batyle suturalis (Say); integument shining black, clothed with black pubescence. Head coarsely punctured; front depressed, finely punctate, central area smooth; antennae extending past middle of elytra when laid along side. Pronotum globose, wider than long, widest back of middle, wider at base than at apex; surface with apex and base transversely margined, irregularly coarsely punctured, leaving an irregular smooth area in front of scutellum, an upright black hair arising from each puncture; prosternum transversely impressed in front of coxae, densely punctured. Scutellum finely punctured, pubescence short. Elytra at base wider than widest part of pronotum; sides constricted back of base, then subparallel to separately broadly rounded apices which do not cover last dorsal segment of abdomen; surface densely, irregularly, coarsely punctured, punctures on basal three-fifths coarser than on pronotum, becoming smaller toward apices; a long black erect hair arising from each puncture on basal half, apical half with shorter recumbent pubescence.
