Taxonomic Relationship Of Hybrid Peafowl-Guineafowl: Preliminary Study Of Serum Proteins, Earl L. Hanebrink, Charles Gruver, Richard Van Grouw
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Disc electrophoresis of serum proteins was conducted for the peafowl, guineafowl, peafowl-guineafowl hybrid, and domesticated chicken. The four birds analyzed are of the same order but family status has been questioned. Serum protein patterns for all birds were similar in the anodic regions but different in the cathodic regions. The peafowl-guineafowl hybrid showed a pattern more similar to that of the peafowl than to that of the guineafowl. In morphologic characters the hybrid also was more similar to the peahen than to the guineafowl. In the cathodic region the serum protein pattern of the guineafowl was more unlike the patterns …

Status Of The Mountain Lion In Arkansas, John A. Sealander, Philip S. Gipson
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Two authenticated kill records of the mountain lion, Felis concolor, in Arkansas are reported as well as numerous reliable sight records spanning an approximately 30-year period. Distribution of sightings in the state is discussed in relation to an expanding deer population. The cougar probably never was exterminated in Arkansas but it still may be considered endangered.
