Cavity Protection Techniques For Red-Cockaded Woodpeckers, Warren G. Montague Jan 1995

Cavity Protection Techniques For Red-Cockaded Woodpeckers, Warren G. Montague

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Population growth of red-cockaded woodpeckers (Picoides borealis) is often limited by the availability of suitable cavities. Structural damage to natural and artificial cavities intended for use by P. borealis is common. Roost and nest cavities of P. borealis often become occupied by other cavity-dependent species. Techniques for preventing damage to artificial cavities and for deterring southern flying squirrel (Glaucomys volans) use of otherwise serviceable cavities are described. Such cavity protection techniques may be necessary to prevent extirpation of small, isolated populations of P. borealis.

5'-Nucleotidase And Thrombin-Like Activities Of Selected Crotalid Venoms, Ali M.S. Shams, Dewey H. Sifford, Bob D. Johnson Jan 1995

5'-Nucleotidase And Thrombin-Like Activities Of Selected Crotalid Venoms, Ali M.S. Shams, Dewey H. Sifford, Bob D. Johnson

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Thrombin-like activities were not observed inCrotalus basiliscus, C. molossus and C. scutulatus scutulatus crude venoms. 5'-Nucleotidase specific activities of 0.863, 0.273 and 5.520 units/mg of crude venom protein were observed inC. basiliscus, C. molossus and C. s. scutulatus venoms, respectively. Concanavalin ASepharose 4 B (Con A)affinitychromatography yielded two fractions from each of the crude venoms. Ineach instance, both fractions exhibited 5'-nucleotidase activities and the Con A-binding proteins had higher activities than the Con A-nonbinding proteins. 5'-Nucleotidase activities inthe DEAESephadex A-50 chromatographic fractions were localized in the first elution fraction and the last fraction(s) to elute. EDTAhad no effect on the …
