The O. S. U. Naturalist, Vol. 1, No. 2, December, 1900

"The O. S. U. Naturalist, Vol. 1, No. 2, December, 1900," by the Biological Club of the Ohio State University and edited by John H. Schaffner, is a window into early 20th-century scientific exploration with a focus on Ohio's natural world. The journal highlights the academic interests of the time, including the examination of botany, zoology, and ecology. In this issue, there are examinations of the diets of scarlet flamingos, the dual nature of white heath aster as both a weed and resource, and native Ohio plants living underground. These explorations describe the adaptations and ecological effects of these species while also examining their impacts on our ecosystem and agriculture. In this way, it teaches the readers about the various biological aspects of Ohio.
