Dragonflies and Damselflies (Odonata) of the Grand River System, Northeastern Ohio, 1974-1978
(1981-05) Perry, T. Edward
Fifty-three collecting stations were established on the Grand River system, Northeastern Ohio, including tributary streams and watershed, from 1974 through 197S. Dragonfly and damsel fly adults, nymphs, and exuviae were collected and counted, resulting in 77 species taken. Populations were measured and plotted as to habitat and time. Selected chemical and physical data were measured and a base-line was established for further work on the subject. I identified (> habitat-areas of the river proper, which yielded distinctive, diverse kinds of Odonata: Boyeria-Calopteryx- Cordulegaster (tributary streams), Calo pleryx-Hagenius-X asiaeschna (upper river), Basiaeschna-Didymops-Dromogomphus (transition area), Argia-Gomphus-Hetaerina were the major genera found at the middle portion of the river, and Argia-Knallagma-Libellula at the lower portion near the mouth. Lakes and ponds studied in the watershed contained mainly Aeshna-linaUagma-IJbellula.
Surface Topography of Hasstilesia Tricolor (Tremotoda: Brachylaimidae) as Demonstrated by Scanning-Electron Microscopy
(1981-05) Crites, John L.; Jilek, Reid
SEM of Hasstilesia tricolor, a trematode parasite of rabbits, reveals retorse spines on the anterior, dorsal and ventral surfaces of the body. Spines are reduced on the suckers and are lacking at the posterior end. The spines penetrate the rabbits' mucosal cells and aid in holding the trematode in its tissue site between the intestinal villi.
Overwintering Population Changes of Pterygodermatites Coloradensis (Nematoda: Rictulariidae) in Kentucky and Ohio
(1981-05) O'Brien, R. T.; Etges, Frank J.
Field studies demonstrated a 21.3% prevalence of Pterygodermatites coloradensis in Peromyscus leucopus and a decreasing mean worm burden during the October to April, 1977-79, study period. Decreasing worm burden may be due to fewer available infested intermediate hosts, the short life span of adult worms, or both. Forest and cave salamanders are probably not effective transfer hosts of P. coloradensis since they contained few encysted spirurid larvae and are unlikely to be eaten by P. leucopus. Mean worm burden (X = 4.4) and prevalence (15.7%) of encysted larvae P. coloradensis increased more significantly with host size than month of the overwintering study period in cave Ceuthophilus spp.
Growth and Survival of the Halophyte Salicornia Europaera L. Under Saline Field Conditions
(1981-05) McGraw, David C.; Ungar, Irwin A.
Field investigations were carried out to determine growth and survival rates of Salicornia europaea L. in a saline environment at Rittman, Ohio. Collected data indicated that from 62% to 100% of the seedlings within the 'A saline zones investigated did not survive to maturity. Seedling mortality was statistically correlated at P<0.01 to rising soil salinity stress during late spring and summer. Plant growth was minimal between April and June, increasing sharply during late summer and fall.

An Ordination of the Forest Herb Stratum of Abner's Hollow, South-Central Ohio
(1981-05) Howell, James A.
We analyzed the herb stratum of Abner's Hollow, a south-central Ohio watershed, with deciduous forest vegetation, with a Bray-Curtis ordination. The results indicated that parent material is the primary environmental factor correlated with variation in the herbaceous layer. We described 3 herbaceous communities. That on the low elevation dolomite/limestone parent material was dominated by such species as Uvularia perfoliata and Smilacina racemosa. The herbaceous community of the midslope noncalcareous shale had Dio score a quaternaia and S. racemosa as dominants. Dioscorea quaternata, S. racemosa, and U. perfoliata were also the most important herbaceous species on the sandstone parent material of the upper slopes and ridgetops. The total number, average number per quadrat, and cover of the herbaceous species decreased from the dolomite/limestone to the sandstone to the shale communities. The findings for the herbaceous communities complement those of the study published earlier on the woody plants (Bot. Gaz. 139: 241-248, 1978).
