Subject:
Rhizotrogus majalis; adults; cages; females; flight; larvae; longevity; males; soil habitats; trees
Abstract:
... By using a large cage in the field and a system of marking, the flight activities of 36 females and 49 males of the European chafer were followed during June and July, 1954. It was found that the beetles made one to 11 flights during their life span with males averaging five flights and females 4.5. More males made eight to 11 flights than did females, and males made more flights on consecutive ev ...

Abstract:
... The effect of isolation at 25°C for 2 weeks on subsequent resistance to low temperature has been studied in DBA/2Sp, MAf/Sp, and MA/MySp mice. Results show that in all cases the survival of these animals at 4° and —3°C increases markedly, as compared with corresponding controls which were kept 10 to 16 to a cage before being exposed to low temperature. Young males, averaging 8.6 weeks old, showed ...

Abstract:
... The attraction of houseflies (Musca domestica L.) to surfaces was investigated by repeated counting of flies on samples of materials. The materials tested were mainly such as ordinarily occur in stables. The observations were made partly in a big cage in the laboratory and partly in a stable. The mechanism of attraction to some surfaces was analyzed by counting the number of flies arriving per tim ...

Abstract:
... Pairs of male, hybrid mice sharing a .03 ml daily water ration lost significantly less weight and survived significantly longer if permitted physical contact in the cage than if separated by a wire screen. Physical contact prolonged survival even when the analysis was restricted to the possible victims of cannibalization. Although allowed to consume the full water ration on each day, additional mi ...

Abstract:
... During 1965 many wild birds were examined for the lesions of “scaly leg” disease, caused by mites of the genus Cnemidocoptes. Mite infestation was found in redwinged blackbirds (Agelaius phocnicus), common grackles (Quiscalus versicolor), cowbirds (Molothrus ater) and in two new hosts for the mite, a black-capped chickadee (Parus atricapillus) and a crested flycatcher (Myiarchus crinitus). The mit ...

Abstract:
... Sadleir (1965) proposes that seasonal changes in the survival of juvenile deermice are determined by seasonal changes in the aggressiveness of the adult population. The purpose of the study is to examine some of the consequences of Sadleir's hypothesis experimentally. Laboratory studies confirmed Sadleir's observations on seasonal changes in the aggressiveness of male deermice. Similarly, in the l ...

Abstract:
... Soil moisture, texture, cracks and compaction all influenced the ovipositional behavior of Ctenicera destructor. In oviposition choice-chambers, most eggs were laid in soil with a range of moisture content about halfway between the field capacity and the permanent wilting percentage. In cylinders of soil, beetles usually burrowed to reach moist soil before ovipositing, but laid close to the surfac ...

The species composition and standing crop of the algal epiphytes on the walls of experimental cages in a small lake were greatly altered following the emergence of frog tadpoles from eggs laid in the cages. The results support the hypothesis that tadpoles may be a major cause of the massive spring reduction in standing crop of filamentous green algae in the lake. ...
