... Plis research work and publications, spanning the perioc3 from ~ 9 ~ ~ to ~ 953, have macle notable contributions to the physiology and biochemistry of embryonic development. EARLY LIFE Joseph Bodine, son of Gilbert and Annie Hall Bodine, was born in Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey, on September 19, IS95.

... Accordingly, with budgetary provisions for several new faculty positions over the next few years, appointments were made in protozoology, general physiology, genetics, parasitology, cytology, and embryology, greatly broadening and strengthening the teaching and research activities of the Department. At about the same time, the Department of Zoology gathered under its wing a struggling biological laboratory on Lake Okoboji in northwest Iowa.

... In nature, eggs enter cliapause in late summer or early fall and remain in the blocked state during the winter months. Thus in the grasshopper, diapause may serve as an intrinsic protective mechanism, insuring that after an initial short period of growth and differentiation—development will not proceed again until environmental conditions have become favorable for the completion of the process and the survival of the newly hatched nymph.

... release carbon dioxicle throughout development, these processes occur at greatly ctiminished rates cluring ctiapause. Finally, the respiratory inhibitor, potassium cyanide, has no eject on the oxygen consumption of eggs in diapause but will strongly depress the respiration of developing eggs.

... to be clue to the ability of the embryonic cells to oxidize CO to CO2—a property possessed also by the eggs of several other invertebrates and the tissues of various animals. The depression of oxygen consumption in living cells by carbon monoxide is generally interpreted as due to the inhibition of an integrated system of respiratory enzymes collectively known as the cytochrome-cytochrome oxidase system.
From page 9...
... The eggs produced by some animals contain all of the raw materials required for the growth and maintenance of the developing embryos within them. The prime example is the avian egg, which contains within its shell and membranes not only the genetic blueprint ant]

... that diapause is broken by the destruction of the waxy barrier, thus permitting water uptake and the resumption of development. HONORS AND SERVICE TO SCIENCE At various times in his career Bodine served on a number of important local, state, and national committees: the University of Iowa School of Religion's Board of Control; {owe Basic Science Board; National Research Council Fellowship Board; Atomic Energy Commission Fellowship Board; chairman, Scientific Advisory Committee, Cold Spring Harbor Biological Laboratory; and Executive Committee, Division of Biology and Agriculture, National Research Council.
From page 11...
... Bodine's research activities covered a span of almost four decades during which the publications from his laboratory enriched the literature of both comparative physiology and developmental biology. As new insights and new techniques became available he returned to old subjects, tackling partially solved problems again and again.
