Eight taxa of bats are reported from seven counties in northeastern Arkansas. Localities, natural history notes, sex, age and reproductive condition are reported for most species. New records are combined with previously existing ones to reveal a greater distribution of chiroptera for the state

Fishes Of Morrow Creek, A Lower Ouachita River Tributary, In Southern Arkansas, Henry W. Robison, Stephen A. Winters

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

The fishes of Moro Creek, a fifth order stream tributary of the lower Ouachita River in southern Arkansas, were sampled from 1972-1977. Field collections, literature records and museum records revealed a total of 63 species representing 14 families. An undescribed cyprinid, the bluehead shiner, is reported from Moro Creek for the first time. In general, longitudinal zonation of fish species was apparent as species diversity increased downstream. Stream inhabitants were typical Coastal Plain fishes of the lower Ouachita River system.

Range And Status Of The Nutria, Myocastor Coypus, In Arkansas, Joe W. Bailey, Gary A. Heidt Jan 1978

Range And Status Of The Nutria, Myocastor Coypus, In Arkansas, Joe W. Bailey, Gary A. Heidt

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

An extensive survey has shown that the current range of the nutria, Myocastor coypus. in Arkansas should include the West Gulf Coastal Plain, the Mississippi Alluvial Plain (to Missouri) and the Arkansas Valley along the Arkansas River to Oklahoma. The extensive river and creek systems in the state have provided ready avenues for dispersal, allowing for extremely rapid expansion from the early 1960's when nutria were first observed in the southern part of the state. The current range probably represents most of the suitable habitat in the state and it is felt that further expansion will be held to a …

Fifty-five collections of fishes were made with small-mesh seines and electrofishing gear in the Caddo River and four of its tributaries during 1974-75. Eighty-two species representing 17 families were collected; 14 of the species had not previously been reported from the Caddo River.

Movements Of Channel Catfish And Flathead Catfish In Beaver Reservoir, Northwest Arkansas, Thomas O. Duncan, Milton R. Myers Jr.

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

A total of 497 channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, and flathead catfish, Pylodictis olivaris. were tagged in Beaver Reservoir during two November-April tagging periods (1967-68 and 1968-69); total recaptures were 9.5 and 11.7% respectively. The longest time between tagging and recapture was 1622 days (4.4 years) for channel catfish and 494 days (1.4 years) for flathead catfish. The longest distances traveled were 43.1 km by a channel catfish and 44.3 km by a flathead catfish. Fisherman returns indicated that catfish were caught primarily from April through July. The many recaptures, even after long periods, within 1.6 km of the tagging point, …

Fishes Of The Mountain Province Section Of The Ouachita River, John L. Harris, Neil H. Douglas

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

A survey of the fishes of the mountain province section of the Ouachita River from the headwaters to Remmel Dam using field collections, literature records, and museum collections showed the ichthyofauna to be made up of 80 species representing 16 families. Fourteen species not previously reported from the mountain province section of the river were collected in this survey. These species include Ichthyomyzon gagei, Nocomis asper, Notropis ortenburgeri, N. rubellus, Pimephales promelas, Moxostoma carinatum, Noturus taylori, Fundulus notatus, Lepomis humilis, Etheostoma histrio, E. proeliare, Percina maculata, P. nasuta, and P. uranidea.
