Brief Note: Characterization of Hydrophobic Stream Bacteria Based on Adhesion to n-Octane
(1997-06) McNamara, Christopher J.; Lemke, Michael J.; Leff, Laura G.
The purpose of this study was to characterize stream bacterial communities based on cell surface hydrophobicity. Because hydrophobicity is related to adhesion we hypothesized that more hydrophobic bacteria would be found on solid surfaces than in water. Water, rock, and sediment from two northeastern Ohio streams were sampled and bacteria were plated on modified nutrient agar. Hydrophobicity was determined by measuring adherence to n-octane. No difference was found in the proportion of hydrophobic bacteria among habitats. Two hydrophobic isolates were identified as Sphingomonas paucimobilis and Chryseomonas luteola. A large proportion of hydrophobic bacteria were gram positive and urease positive; none were gelatinase positive. More hydrophobic than hydrophilic bacteria were able to grow using manatose or malatose as the only carbon source. These physiological differences indicate that hydrophobic bacteria may be able to utilize resources not available to hydrophilic bacteria.
A Climatological Analysis of the Köppen Dfa/Dfb Boundary in Eastern North America, 1901-1990
(1997-06) Mitchell, Martin; Kienholz, Jeff
In 1952, Jack Villmow proposed a new and more northerly border for the Dfa/Dfb climate boundary in eastern North America. This paper follows from Villmow's work with an improved data set over a longer period and considers the issue of anthropogenically induced global warming as a possible cause for explaining any change in the boundary.
A GIS Model to Calculate Sediment Yields from a Small Rural Watershed, Old Woman Creek, Erie and Huron Counties, Ohio
(1997-06) Evans, James E.; Seamon, D. Erich
Upstream sediment yields have a potential impact on the Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve. This project developed a GIS-based soil erosion model to calculate sediment delivery ratios and intrabasinal storage, and then developed a sediment routing model to identify portions of the drainage basin that are significant sediment contributors.
Characteristics of an Intergeneric Cyprinid Hybrid, Campostoma anomalum x Luxilus sp. Indet. (Pisces: Cyprinidae), from the Portage River, Ohio
(1997-06) Poly, William J.
Characteristics of a hybrid, Campostoma anomalum pullum x Luxilus sp. (chrysocephalus, comutus, their hybrid, or a backcross) from the Portage River, OH, were examined and compared with parental species as well as five other Campostoma anomalum x Luxilus cornutus and C. anomalum x L. chrysocephalus hybrids from Ohio, Tennessee, New York, Virginia, and Mississippi. Lateral-line scale count and gill raker count were consistently intermediate in all hybrids. Dentition was intermediate in four of five hybrids, and intestinal diameter was intermediate in both Ohio hybrids. Hybrids for which data were available (n = 5) resembled Luxilus in lacking intestinal coiling around the swimbladder and in liver shape and position (n = 4). Mouth position was intermediate in five of six hybrids. The Portage River hybrid may be a tri-hybrid based on apparent hybridization between the two Luxilus species, L. cornutus and L. chrysocephalus, present at the collection site.
Survey of the Moths (Lepidoptera) Inhabiting the Funk Bottoms Wildlife Area, Wayne and Ashland Counties, Ohio
(1997-06) Williams, Roger N.; Rings, Roy W.; Ellis, M. S.; Fickle, D. S.
In 1995, the Funk Bottoms Wildlife Area was the subject of an ongoing series of insect surveys intended to establish benchmark information on arthropod diversity of wetlands in northeast Ohio. This article concentrates on the moths which were collected at ultraviolet light traps within the Funk Bottoms Wildlife Area. A companion report will follow focusing on the Coleoptera along with several orders of aquatic insects. 3252 specimens were identified to 306 species in 19 families. These species are classified as follows: Abundant = 34; Locally Abundant = 1; Common = 257; Locally Common = 2; Uncommon = 10; Rare = 1; and Special Interest = 1.
