Growth Performances and Mycorrhizae of Native and Exotic Hardwoods on Bituminous Stripmine Spoils
(1979-11) Shuffstall, William C.; Medve, Richard J.
Growth parameters and mycorrhizal characteristics were compared for 10 hardwood species that naturally invade bituminous stripmine spoil and 4 exotic hardwoods that are commonly planted on reclaimed stripmine spoils in western Pennsylvania. Sassafras albidum, Acer rubrum, Populus tremuloides, Crataegus spp., and Robinia pseudoacacia grew better on bituminous spoils than on non-spoil sites. Invaders with the best total growth performances on stripmine spoils were Aralia spinosa, Rhus glabra, Populus tremuloides, Robinia pseudoacacia, and Acer rubrum. These 5 natural invaders, which are not usually planted on stripmine spoil, exceeded selected growth characteristics of 4 exotic species commonly planted on bituminous stripmine spoil. All species had mycorrhizae under all conditions studied, but type or percent of mycorrhizae were not related to success as a pioneer species on stripmine spoil.

Influence of Pre- and Postnatal Thiouracil Administration on Pituitary Growth Hormone Content in Mice
(1979-11) Meserve, Lee A.; Rhodes, Audrey B.
We examined the influence of thiouraeil-induecd hypothyroidism imposed at various stages of development upon pituitary growth hormone (OH) concentration. Balb/e-derived mice were mated and fed thionracil, 0.25% in Purina Lab Chow, from the first day of pregnancy until 25 days postpartum, or for shorter periods of time (last % of pregnancy and postpartum, last j/$ of pregnancy and postpartum, or postpartum only). Using disc gel eleetrophoresis, pituitary Gil concentration of 25 day old pups exposed to thiouracil was compared with that of unexposed animals. Concentration of pituitary GH was depressed significantly in animals whose mothers were first given thiouracil at the initiation of pregnancy or \% of the way through pregnancy. Young of mothers first given thiouracil % of the way through gestation or on the first day postpartum did not have significantly lower pituitary GH concentrations than controls. The factor determining the presence or absence of thiouracil-induced depression of pituitary GH concentration may be the initiation of fetal thyroid function that occurs between days 15-17, approximately % of the way through gestation.
Persistent Vaginal Cornification and Polycystic Ovaries in Normally Differentiated Adult Female Rats Following Treatment with Testosterone Propionate
(1979-11) Quinn, David L.
In normally differentiated adult female rats, a single injection of testosterone propionate (5-10mg) induces persistent vaginal eornification accompanied by polycystic ovaries. Testosterone treatment induces an initial phase of pseudopregnancy followed by persistant vaginal eornification, and then an eventual return to normal estrous cycles. It is proposed that the normal cyclic mechanism controlling ovulation is interfered with in a temporary manner after testosterone treatment in adult female rats in contrast to the permanent persistent vaginal eornification seen after such treatment in neonatal rats.
Disease and Mortality at the Anderson Village Site
(1979-11) Lallo, John W.
Skeletal remains from the Anderson Village site provided information on mortality patterns in one of Ohio's early American Indian groups. At birth, life expectancy for the Anderson population was approximately 33 years, with a mean age at death of 6.6 years for the sub-adults (<15 years of age), 39 for the adult males, and 38 for the adult females. The highest age specific mortality rate for the subadults occurred in the age class 5 to 9.9 years (6.8%), while for the adults it was in the age class 40 to 44.9 years (15.9%). Although there were variations between male and female mortality rates, none of the observed differences were statistically significant. For the subadults, adult males, and adult females, mortality was significantly associated (P<.()()1) with infectious disease with 81.8% of the population displaying some lesions. For sub-adults and adult females, mortality was significantly associated (P<.()01) with the occurrence of both infectious disease and porotic hyperostosis with 80% of the sub-adults and females displaying both lesions. It appears that infectious disease may have contributed, to mortality of sub-adults, males, and females; whereas, the interaction of infectious disease and porotic hyperostosis may have had its most serious impact on sub-adults and females.
The Ataenius of Ohio
(1979-11) Wegner, Gerald S.; Niemczyk, Harry D.
The species of Ataenius Harold (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Aphodiinae) native to Ohio, Ataenius spretulus (Haldeman) (the black turfgrass ataenius), A. punctifrons Cartwright, A. abditus (Hald.), A. gracilis (Melsheimer), A. erratus Fall, A. imbricatus (Melsh.), A. strigatus (Say), and A. apicalis Hinton are distinguished with an illustrated key. Individual taxonomic description, Ohio distribution, biological information and economic importance of A. spretulus and A. strigatus as turf grassfeeders are provided.
