  • R on Anew British Sea Anemone. by T
    [ 880 ~ r On aNew British Sea Anemone. By T. A~ Stephenson, D.Se., Department of Zoology, University Oollege, London With 1 Figure in the Text. IT is a curious fact that the majority of the British anemones had been discovered by 1860, and that half of them, as listed at that date, had been established during a burst of energy on the part of Gosse and his collectingfriends. Gosseadded 28 speciesto the BritishFauna himself. It is still more surprising that since Gosse ceased work, no authentic new ones have been added, other than more or less offshore forms, with'the ex- ception of Sagartia luci()3,'and this species appears to have been imported from abroad. There is, however, an anemone which occurs on the Break- water and Pier at Plymouth, which has not yet been described. Dr. Allen tells me it has been on the Breakwater as long as he can remember, and to him I am indebted for the details of its habitat given further on. Whether it occurs elsewhere than in the Plymouth district and has been seen but mistaken for the young of Metridiurn dianthus, is as yet unknown. The anemone in question, which is the subject of this paper, is a small creature, bright orange or fawn in colour, and presenting at first sight some resemblance to. young specimens of certain colour-varieties of Metridium. When the two forms are observed carefully, however, and irnder heaJ:thy conditions, it becomes evident that they are perfectly distinct from each other; and a study of their anatomy bears out this fact.

  • Acontia and Mesentery Nematocysts of the Sea Anemone Metridium Senile (Linnaeus, 1761) (Cnidaria: Anthozoa)
    Scientia Marina 74(3) September 2010, 483-497, Barcelona (Spain) ISSN: 0214-8358 doi: 10.3989/scimar.2010.74n3483 Acontia and mesentery nematocysts of the sea anemone Metridium senile (Linnaeus, 1761) (Cnidaria: Anthozoa) CARINA ÖSTMAN 1, JENS ROAT KULTIMA 2, CARSTEN ROAT 3 and KARL RUNDBLOM 4 1 Animal Development and Genetics, Evolutionary Biology Centre, Uppsala University, Norbyvägen 18A, SE-752 36 Uppsala, Sweden, [email protected] 2 Uppsala University, Norbyvägen 18A, SE-752 36 Uppsala, Sweden. 3 Department of Ecology, Environment and Geology, Umeå University, Linneus väg 6, SE- 90187 Umeå, Sweden. 4 Uppsala University, Norbyvägen 14 A, SE-75236 Uppsala, Sweden. SUMMARY: Acontia and mesentery nematocysts of Metridium senile (Linnaeus, 1761) are described from interference- contrast light micrographs (LMs) and scanning electron micrographs (SEMs). The acontia have 2 nematocyst categories grouped into small, medium and large size-classes, including 5 types: of these, large b-mastigophores and large p-amas- tigophores are the largest and most abundant. Mesenterial tissues, characterised by small p-mastigophores and medium p-amastigophores, have 3 nematocyst categories grouped as small and medium, including 6 types. Attention is given to nematocyst maturation, especially to the differentiation of the shaft into proximal and main regions as helical folding of the shaft wall proceeds. Groups of differentiating nematoblasts occur along acontia, and near the junction between acontia and mesenterial filaments. Nematoblasts are sparsely found throughout mesenterial tissues. Keyword: cnidae, SEM, acontia, mesenterial filaments.

Connecting Environment and Phenotype: Deciphering Mechanisms of Diapause Entry and Exit in the Annual Killifish Austrofundulus limnaeus by Erin Monica Davis A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biology Thesis Committee: Jason Podrabsky, Chair Deborah Duffield Annie Lindgren Portland State University 2021 ©2021 Erin Monica Davis ABSTRACT Embryonic development is complex, dynamic, and dependent on environmental factors. Mechanisms of sensing and integrating environmental stimuli are diverse, and understanding these mechanisms in extant species can elucidate how complex phenotypes emerge from genomic information expressed in an environmental context. In Austrofundulus limnaeus, an annual killifish with alternative developmental trajectories, light and temperature are vital factors that determine if an embryo will enter a state of diapause.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

    4 Oklahoma Native Plant Record Volume 9, December 2009 VASCULAR PLANTS OF SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA FROM THE SANS BOIS TO THE KIAMICHI MOUNTAINS Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 1969 Francis Hobart Means, Jr. Midwest City, Oklahoma Current Email Address: [email protected] The author grew up in the prairie region of Kay County where he learned to appreciate proper management of the soil and the native grass flora. After graduation from college, he moved to Eastern Oklahoma State College where he took a position as Instructor in Botany and Agronomy. In the course of conducting botany field trips and working with local residents on their plant problems, the author became increasingly interested in the flora of that area and of the State of Oklahoma. This led to an extensive study of the northern portion of the Oauchita Highlands with collections currently numbering approximately 4,200. The specimens have been processed according to standard herbarium procedures. The first set has been placed in the Herbarium of Oklahoma State University with the second set going to Eastern Oklahoma State College at Wilburton. Editor’s note: The original species list included habitat characteristics and collection notes. These are omitted here but are available in the dissertation housed at the Edmon-Low Library at OSU or in digital form by request to the editor. [SS] PHYSICAL FEATURES Winding Stair Mountain ranges.

  • Vascular Plant Species of the Comanche National Grassland in United States Department Southeastern Colorado of Agriculture
    Vascular Plant Species of the Comanche National Grassland in United States Department Southeastern Colorado of Agriculture Forest Service Donald L. Hazlett Rocky Mountain Research Station General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-130 June 2004 Hazlett, Donald L. 2004. Vascular plant species of the Comanche National Grassland in southeast- ern Colorado. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-130. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 36 p. Abstract This checklist has 785 species and 801 taxa (for taxa, the varieties and subspecies are included in the count) in 90 plant families. The most common plant families are the grasses (Poaceae) and the sunflower family (Asteraceae). Of this total, 513 taxa are definitely known to occur on the Comanche National Grassland. The remaining 288 taxa occur in nearby areas of southeastern Colorado and may be discovered on the Comanche National Grassland. The Author Dr. Donald L. Hazlett has worked as an ecologist, botanist, ethnobotanist, and teacher in Latin America and in Colorado. He has specialized in the flora of the eastern plains since 1985. His many years in Latin America prompted him to include Spanish common names in this report, names that are seldom reported in floristic pub- lications. He is also compiling plant folklore stories for Great Plains plants. Since Don is a native of Otero county, this project was of special interest.
