A NEW SUBSPECIES OF LON TAXILES (W. H. EDWARDS, 1861) (LEPIDOPTERA: HESPERIIDAE) FROM THE GREAT PLAINS

A new subspecies of Lon taxiles (W. H. Edwards, 1861) is described from the Pine Ridge of Nebraska and Black Hills of South Dakota. It is distinguished by the presence of distinct white spots on the VHW of females and darker males than specimens from other parts of its range. The Taxiles skipper, Lon [formerly Poanes; see Cong et al. (2019)] taxiles (W. H. Edwards, 1861), is a woodland species found in mountainous areas in extreme southeastern Idaho, through Colorado and Utah, south through New Mexico and Arizona, into Mexico. There is also a somewhat disjunct eastern population, ranging from the Pine Ridge of Nebraska, eastern Wyoming, into the Black Hills of South Dakota, north to the Badlands of North Dakota. Most western populations are fairly consistent in phenotype, and the sexes are dimorphic. Males are orange and black dorsally and yellow with brown spotting ventrally, while females are brownish dorsally with a purplish-brown ventral hindwing. Both sexes resemble Lon zabulon (Boisduval & Le Conte, [1837]), at least ventrally, and are considered the western counterpart of that species. While collecting in the Pine Ridge and Black Hills in the early 1980s, I noticed that the phenotype there was distinct from the more western populations. Instead of having the spotting on the ventral hind wing of females obscured as in other areas, these specimens had distinct white spotting. I was intrigued, so decided to examine specimens from nearby eastern Wyoming, as well as more specimens from Nebraska and South Dakota, and compare these with typical populations from the Rocky Mountains and other western mountain ranges. This led me to describe a new taxon

An Exegetical Study of First Corinthians 10_14-22

The purpose of the writer treating this pericope is to satisfy his desire to become more intimately acquainted with the meaning of Paul’s message in this passage. By sketching the background and context of the pericope and giving a careful exegeses of the text, its terms and grammar, the writer hopes to demonstrate the timeless importance of the Sacrament of the Lord\u27s Supper to the Christian Church. From this exegetical treatment, then, we hope to infer the doctrina1 and practical implications of Paul\u27s teachings.

Physiological ecology of alpine plants

August 1962.Includes bibliographical references (pages 129-146).Covers not scanned.Print version deaccessioned 2021.A physiological ecology study was made in the alpine areas of Mt. Evans and Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado and in controlled environments. Alpine environmental factors were measured and analyzed. Growth chambers and other controlled environment facilities that were used to study plant processes are described. Alpine plant temperatures were measured in the field along with certain environmental factors and the data were analyzed for correlations. Plant temperatures of up to 32 C were recorded, and differences between the plant and air temperatures were frequently more than 20 C. The plant temperatures correlated most strongly with air temperatures, while the plant-air temperature gradient had the highest correlation with maximum light intensity, although the factors considered did not have a large effect on the plant-air temperature gradient. In both cases the form of the plant influenced plant temperatures and the gradient to a considerable degree. The growth and vegetative development of alpine plants were affected to a considerable extent by the average daily temperature. Temperatures of 18 to 27 C increased the initial growth rate and development but were found to be detrimental to the plants after a prolonged length of exposure. Temperatures of around 12 to 14 C seemed to be optimal for the overall growth of alpine plants. Treatments with GA, shading, or wind shielding did not alter the cushion plant form in the field except that GA caused the internodes of Trifolium nanum to elongate. These mat plants usually lost their cushion form at lower elevations. The flowering of Geum turbinatum was investigated extensively since this species normally does not flower at lower elevations unless it has initiated flower primordia in the field and has also received a period of cold temperatures. CCC, however, promoted the initiation of flower primordia and flower development in many individuals under greenhouse conditions. Cold treatment and UV radiation may also result in the initiation of flower primordia. Dormancy of several species of alpine plants was studied in the field but no correlations were found between environmental factors and the dormancy response. Dormancy in some species was induced by average daily temperatures of less than 8 C depending upon the nutritional state of the plants. No plants were induced to go into dormancy by photoperiods alone, nor was there any effect from the treatments of red and far-red light. GA retarded the dormancy of mat plants in the field when applied 60 days in advance of the time of dormancy. GA also increased the rate of breaking dormancy in some mat plant species under greenhouse conditions while NAA retarded growth and the breaking of dormancy in these same cushion plants

The Longhorn Beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of Nebraska, USA: New State Records, a Checklist of Known Species, and Distribution Maps

One hundred eighty-three species/subspecies of longhorn beetles are recorded from Nebraska, an increase of 19 species since 1971. The greatest number of recent discoveries have come from sites along the Missouri River, especially Indian Cave State Park in southeastern Nebraska, as well as the Pine Ridge at Chadron, Nebraska

A Study of the Organization and Administration of Home Economics Teacher Education in the Central Region--with Implications for Improvement at South Dakota State College

This study was conducted from the campus of South Dakota State College fo Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, Brookings, South Dakota, a land-grant institution for higher learning established in 1881. The six divisions of the college are: Agriculture, Engineering, Home Economics, Nursing, Pharmacy and Science and Applied Arts. Changes in certain policies and procedures of the Home Economics Education Department of South Dakota State College have been discussed. Some of the points under consideration were: the number of colleges and universities operating under the different systems and their reactions to the present one, the location of the home Economic Education Department. The plans for a new Home Economics Building are under way, with the Home Economics Education Department having a designated area, the number of education credits taken which relate directly to home economics. Students in the local college take 22 quarter hours. In order to gain enlighten on these various factors the writer wanted to find out how the other colleges and universities of the Central Region conducted their teacher education program for vocationally approved homemaking departments and the satisfaction will lead to improvements in the operation of the program at South Dakota State College

Scared to Death: The Separate Right to Counsel at Capital Sentencing

To date, a separate right to counsel at the penalty phase of a capital trial is not recognized as fundamental under the Sixth Amendment right to counsel provision. This Note addresses a capital defendant\u27s constitutional right to have a separate attorney represent him during the sentencing stage. The Supreme Court, in several significant holdings, has stepped towards recognizing this right. The Court has held that the right to counsel applies to capital trials and to all critical stages therein. It also has held that the right to effective assistance of counsel applies at the sentencing phase of these trials and that capital sentencing must comport with the slippery notion of due process. In addition, the procedural and evidentiary components that make up the sentencing phase signify that the sentencing phase is, indeed, a separate trial. In response to these facts, the Court has held that the double jeopardy clause applies to the capital sentencing trial. Therefore, a defendant\u27s decision regarding his right to counsel at the guilt phase of a capital trial should under not circumstances bind him in the sentencing phase. Hence, this Note concludes that the Sixth Amendment\u27s right to counsel provision guarantees a defendant a separate right to counsel at the sentencing phase of a capital trial consistent with the due process of law

A COMPARISON OF HIGH AND LOW VELOCITY PITCHERS IN FASTPITCH SOFTBALL

A two-dimensional biomechanical comparison of 10 “high velocity” and 10 “low velocity” softball pitchers was done to assess kinematic similarities and differences. While angular velocities of the shoulder, wrist, and elbow are often believed to be important in determining ball velocity, they were not different between high and low velocity groups for these data. Significant differences (

A 30-Year History of Salt Creek Tiger Beetle, \u3ci\u3eEllipsoptera nevadica lincolniana\u3c/i\u3e (Casey, 1916) (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae), Visual Population Estimates

The federally endangered Salt Creek tiger beetle, Ellipsoptera nevadica lincolniana (Casey, 1916), is found only in the saline wetlands around Lincoln, Nebraska, USA. Low numbers of adults seen in the 1980s prompted a study to estimate adult numbers by visual counts. Population estimates were conducted from 1991 to 2020, and adult estimates ranged from a low of 115 in 1993 to a high of 777 in 2002. The beetle has disappeared from six out of twelve sites and the metapopulation has shrunk from three sites in 1991 to one site in 2020. Supplemental releases of laboratory reared larvae began in 2010, but success has been difficult to determine
