    Ecology and Distibution of Chironomid Larvae from Carroll County, Ohio (Diptera: Chironomidae)
    (1985-09) McShaffrey, Dave; Olive, John H.
    Chironomid larvae were collected from lotic and lentic sites in Carroll Co., Ohio, from October 1981 to October 1982. Over 700 larvae were mounted on glass slides for identification. A total of 80 species was found. The species collected are listed with site and date of collection. The number of species is comparable to that reported in other studies. Gut contents are listed for 49 species, most of which are detritivores. Some species probably change feeding habits depending on their age and stream flow. Approximate emergence periods are given for 10 species.

    Seasonal Feeding Habits of an Enclosed High Density White-Tailed Deer Herd in Northern Ohio
    (1985-09) Rose, Jack; Harder, John D.
    Seasonal feeding habits of the white-tailed deer {Odocoileus virginianus) herd on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Plum Brook Station, near Sandusky, Ohio, were determined by microscopic analysis of rumen contents. At the time of this study, 2,499 — 94 (95% C.I.) deer inhabited the area, a density of 115 deer/km2. Deer grazed year-round, and in spite of a record high density, overall health of the herd was high. During a winter with deep snow cover, grass consumption decreased almost 50% when compared with the previous winter with light snow cover. Consumption of dead deciduous leaves approximately doubled during the same period. Neither snow depth nor inclement weather had any observable effect on the amount of woody browse in the diets; consumption of this food remained low during all seasons.

    Chitinozoans from the Ordovician-Silurian Boundary Beds in the Eastern Cincinnati Region in Ohio and Kentucky
    (1985-09) Grahn, Yngve; Bergstrom, Stig M.
    Representatives of seven species of chitinozoans, one of which is new (Ancyrochitina belfastensis n. sp.), were isolated from samples of the lowermost Silurian Belfast Member and of slightly younger beds of the Brassfield Formation and of the Upper Ordovician Preachersville Member of the Drakes Formation at two localities in southern Ohio and north-central Kentucky in an attempt to determine the size of the stratigraphic gap at the Ordovician-Silurian paraconformity. Based on comparisons with successions in Estonia and on Anticosti Island, Quebec, the chitinozoans suggest that the stratigraphic gap between the systems, which is likely to be due to a global sea level drop associated with the Gondwana glaciation, represents an interval from the Ashgillian D. complanatus Zone to the early Llandoverian C. cyphus Zone and hence corresponds to about four graptolite zones. The present study is the first record of Silurian chitinozoans from Ohio.

    The Ichthyoplankton of the Scioto River near Omega, Ohio
    (1985-09) Richards, F. Paul; Cook, Cynthia J.; D'Auteuil, Richard R.
    A comprehensive survey of the ichthyoplankton of the Scioto River near Omega, Ohio, was undertaken during the spring, summer and early fall of 1981. Twenty-six taxa offish larvae and young of year were collected. Dominant taxa included catostomid larvae, common carp larvae, channel catfish young of year, Notropis larvae and other unidentified cyprinid larvae. Although most of the sampling effort was at night, comparisons between temporally-comparable day and night collections were made and some differences in species composition and/or abundance were noted.

    Distribution and Status of the Rosyside Dace, Clinostomus funduloides Girard, (Cyprinidae) in Southern Ohio
    (1985-09) Rice, Daniel L.; Phinney, George J.
    Surveys to determine the current status and distribution of the rosyside dace in southern Ohio were conducted between 1980 and 1982. Results of these surveys indicate that the rosyside dace is more common than previously believed in this area. Populations were recorded from 40 streams in Pike, Adams, Scioto and Jackson counties. The largest populations were found in headwater tributaries of the Little Scioto River system, and Sunfish Creek and Scioto Brush Creek watersheds. Isolated populations were found in several of the smaller tributary streams of the Scioto and Ohio rivers. Factors limiting populations of this species in southern Ohio streams appear to be primarily related to increased water turbidities resulting from: (1) intensive agriculture of row crops; (2) indiscriminate timbering of watersheds, and (3) highway construction projects. Other factors affecting habitat quality are terracing to create home sites and the bulldozing of gravel from stream beds.

    Ammonium Production by Races and Mating Types of Bipolaris maydis and its Relationship to Mycelium Dry Weight, Sporulation and pH of the Culture Medium
    (1985-09) Bischoff, T. W.; Garraway, Michael O.
    Isolates of Bipolaris maydis race T, mating types A and a, and Bipolaris maydis race O, mating types A and a, were compared for ammonium production at two or 10 g/l glucose on a L-asparagine-mineral salts medium in relation to mycelium dry weight, sporulation and pH of the culture medium at six, 10 and 14 d of incubation. Ammonium was detected in all media for all isolates at six days and levels were inversely related to the initial glucose levels. After 10 days, ammonium levels had increased in all media regardless of race or mating type to approximately 17.5 /umoles NH^/ml. Thus, it appears that ammonium release from L-asparagine is a common phenomenon for B. maydis. At six days pH was also inversely related to glucose concentration while after 10 d the pH had increased to approximately 8.2 on all media regardless of race or mating type. The mycelium dry weight on two g/l glucose was comparable among incubation times and isolates. With 10 g/l glucose, dry weights were comparable among isolates at each incubation time while there was no change in dry weight after 10 d. Sporulation was greater with 10 g/l than with two g/l glucose for all isolates at all incubation times.

    The Effect of Fire on the root Hairs and Mycorrhizae of Liatris spicata
    (1985-09) Medve, Richard J.
    Liatris spicata (L.) Willd. plants that had either been unburned, subjected to a one-yr spring burn, or spring burned for two successive years, showed no significant difference in percentage of mycorrhizae, vesicles or arbuscules, intensity of mycorrhizae, presence of root hairs, or intensity of root hairs. Plants from all three treatments had vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM). Vesicles were consistently abundant, but arbuscules were scarce. The percentage of roots with VAM was strongly correlated with VAM intensity, but no other significant correlations were detected for various root hair and mycorrhizal characteristics.

    Daniel Drake as a Nineteenth Century Educational Reformer
    (1985-09) Rudolph, Emanuel D.
    If Daniel Drake is remembered as an educator, it is usually for his pioneering efforts in establishing medical schools and related institutions in Ohio, and for his attempts to improve the quality of medical instruction. However, Drake's entire professional and public life can be interpreted as a continuous educational endeavor. Although Drake's own education was limited, he early learned the value of reading for self-instruction and preached the value of that trait for the rest of his life. After his experiences in Philadelphia, Drake tried to emulate its educational and professional establishments in Cincinnati. As time went on, he developed a more independent approach to education which championed a new Western Country attitude. He was active in The Western Literary Institute and College of Professional Teachers that met annually in the 1830s which had a broad view of the term teacher. These meetings were Drake's most active involvement with the reforming of non-medical teaching where his contributions were ahead of his times.
