Revision Of The Antillean Bats Of The Genus Brachyphylla (Mammalia: Phyllostomatidae), Pierre Swanepoel, Hugh H. Genoways
Revision Of The Antillean Bats Of The Genus Brachyphylla (Mammalia: Phyllostomatidae), Pierre Swanepoel, Hugh H. Genoways
University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers
Nongeographic and geographic variation have been analyzed in the genus Brachyphylla. which belongs to the Antillean endemic subfamily Phyllonycterinae of the family Phylloslomatidae. Males were found to be generally larger than females: therefore, the sexes were analyzed separately for geographic variation. External measurements except length of forearm were found to displaya high degree of individual variation. They were not used in subsequent analyses. Of cranial measurements, greatest length of skull and condylobasal length showed the least individual variation, whereas palatal length, postorbital breadth (in samples from west of the Mona Passage only), and rostral width at canines showed relatively …

Review Of The Desert Pocket Gopher, Geomys Arenarius (Mammalia: Rodentia), Stephen L. Williams, Hugh H. Genoways
University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers
The desert pocket gopher (Geomys arenarius), which occupies a restricted geographic range in Texas, New Mexico, and Chihuahua, was examined for morphological variation. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine age, sexual, individual, and geographic variation. Significant differences were found among different age classes and between sexes. Males displayed higher individual variation than females and external measurements were more variable than cranial measurements. Two subspecies--G. a. arenarius and G. a. brevirostris--were recognized after analyses of geographic variation.

Composition And Structure Of Replacement Forest Stands Following Southern Pine Beetle Infestations As Related To Selected Site Variables In The Great Smoky Mountains, Nathaniel White Kuykendall Iii
Masters Theses
Stand composition and eleven site factors were sampled in 49 stands in the Great Smoky Mountains in which the pine overstory had been killed by the southern pine beetle. Replacement community types were determined using cluster analysis of relative densities for 21 common species. absolute densities for total stems, total pine, total oak, and eight individual species in the overstory, understory, and reproduction strata were related to selected site and vegetation variables by correlation and stepwise multiple regression.
Infestations greatly reduced the importance of pine in all replacement stands, converting most pine dominated stands to mixed pine-hardwood. Pine reproduction was …
Bats Are Beautiful, Hugh H. Genoways, Robert J. Baker
Bats Are Beautiful, Hugh H. Genoways, Robert J. Baker
University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers
The thought that "Bats are Beautiful" may bring a smile to your face as you think of these ugly little creatures hanging from the ceilings of haunted houses and flying around deserted bell towers at midnight. You may also remember old wives tales such as "all bats have rabies" or "bats try to fly into women's hair." None of these things is completely true, and some of the tales have no basis in fact whatsoever.
Actually, the 875 species of bats form a unique Order of mammals (those animals possessing hair at least somewhere on their bodies), since they are …

A Mid-Continent Irruption Of Canada Lynx, 1962-63, Harvey L. Gunderson
A Mid-Continent Irruption Of Canada Lynx, 1962-63, Harvey L. Gunderson
University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers
There was a mid-continent irruption of the Canada lynx (Felis lynx) population and subsequent extensive movement into non-lynx habitats during the years 1962-1963. Lynx were found in the prairie provinces of Canada and the prairie areas of Minnesota, and North and South Dakota. They were also found in urban areas such as Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota: Winnipeg, Manitoba: and Calgary, Saskatchewan, Canada. Causes for the irruption remain unknown but speculations include primarily a change in snowshoe hare population, disease, extensive forest fires and extensive spraying. Unusual behavior seemed to be most often reflected by a lack of …

Notes On Distribution Of Three Species Of Mammals In South Dakota, J. Knox Jones Jr., Jerry R. Choate, Robert B. Wilhelm
University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers
No definitive account of the mammals of South Dakota has been published and, therefore, the distribution of species occurring in that state is relatively poorly documented save for several geographically restricted faunal studies (Andersen and Jones 1971, on Harding County, Findley 1956, on Oay County, and Turner 1974, on the Black Hills, for example). Our own work in South Dakota began almost two decades ago, but in recent years has focued primarily on the unique environmental area in southern Bennett County. Three species of mammals for which we have important unpublished distributional records from the state are the eastern mole, …

Reports
Plant geography and water quality data were collected in shallow water near Cape Charles and Occohannock Creek, Virginia on two occasions. Data from April, 1978 included hydrography, distribution and abundance of -submerged aquatic vegetation, phytoplankton census, and water clarity data. Data from May, 1978 included hydrography, phytoplankton census, water clarity, and primary productivity data. The May data collection was coincident with an overflight of the NASA JSC C-130 aircraft (6600 m) acquiring color infrared photography and multispectral scanner data; cell concentrations reached 105/ml, chlorophyll~ 72 pg/1, and suspended sediment 94 mg/1. i
Aspects Of The Organic Carbon Cycle On Walker Branch Watershed: A Study In Land/Water Interaction, Charles Edward Comiskey
Aspects Of The Organic Carbon Cycle On Walker Branch Watershed: A Study In Land/Water Interaction, Charles Edward Comiskey
Doctoral Dissertations
Aspects of the organic carbon cycle in a deciduous forest watershed were studied with emphasis on meteorological inputs to the watershed system, transfers of organic material from the terrestrial to the aquatic subsystems, the hydrologic transport of organic carbon in the stream subsystem, and organic outputs from the watershed system via geological vectors.
Transfer of large (> 1 mm) particulate organic material to the heterotrophically based aquatic subsystem occurred primarily as direct leaf fall and blow-in. Annual litterfall was 222.1 g/m2 organic carbon, of which leaves contributed 80.6%, fruits and reproductive parts 11.3%, twigs 5.6% and frass 2.5%. Peak …

The Role Of Allelopathic Interference In The Maintenance Of Southern Appalachian Heath Balds, Robert Edward Gant
The Role Of Allelopathic Interference In The Maintenance Of Southern Appalachian Heath Balds, Robert Edward Gant
Doctoral Dissertations
Allelopathic interference seems to be an important mechanism in the maintenance and persistence of southern Appalachian heath bald communities. Comparative analyses were conducted on two heath balds located in the Balsam Mountains of western North Carolina to distinguish phytotoxic characteristics that enhance persistence. Field studies revealed that one community was a mixed heath bald dominated by Rhododendron catawbiense and the second resembled an immature spruce-rhododendron forest heath dominated by Rhododendron maximum and Picea rubens.
Caffeic acid, gallic acid, gentisic acid, hydroquinone, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, 2-pinene, phloroglucinol, rhododendrol, and vanillic acid were isolated and identified from canopy drip, leaves, litter, roots, …

The Ecology Of Rabies In Northeastern Tennessee, Howard Fleming Hall Iii
Doctoral Dissertations
The study sought to determine the ecological factors which influenced the time and place at which rabid animals occurred in northeastern Tennessee. The study region consisted of 30 counties in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. Within this region three Tennessee counties, the study area, were selected for detailed field study.
The objectives of the study were pursued by means of (1) a detailed retrospective analysis of reported rabies cases in the study region over several decades, (2) the collection of data on recent (1972-1976) reported rabies cases in the study area, (3) a serum survey to detect rabies antibodies among …
Effects Of Strip Mining Related Disturbance On The Benthic Insect Communities Of Selected Streams In The New River Basin Of East Tennessee, Virginia Rose Tolbert
Effects Of Strip Mining Related Disturbance On The Benthic Insect Communities Of Selected Streams In The New River Basin Of East Tennessee, Virginia Rose Tolbert
Doctoral Dissertations
Four streams in the New River Basin in East Tennessee (one undisturbed and three disturbed) were sampled monthly to determine the effects of contour strip mining for coal on benthic insect communities. In addition to sampling for benthic insects, various physical parameters were measured at the time of sampling to help determine factors that cause changes in benthic community composition in streams disturbed by strip mining. Samples from each stream were analyzed monthly, seasonally, and for the total sampling period to determine effect on the number of species and individuals and on species diversity. For these three factors data were …
Are Pollinators Exerting Selection Pressure On The Azalea Hybrids On Gregory Bald?, Clinton Victor Kellner
Are Pollinators Exerting Selection Pressure On The Azalea Hybrids On Gregory Bald?, Clinton Victor Kellner
Masters Theses
Gregory Bald is renowned for an azalea hybrid swarm which contains a very diverse array of flower colors and forms. This report involves the study of the flower constancy of the pollinators to the different azalea flower types. The flower type classification is based on the floral morphology, color and presence of odor. The azalea species involved in the hybrid swarm are Rhododendron bakeri (Lemon and McKay) Hume, R. aborescens (Pursh) Torrey and R. viscosum (L.) Torrey. Pollinators' constancy to flower type and pollinators' preference for flower type were observed on square plots that contained two or more flower types. …
Bats Of Guadeloupe, Robert J. Baker, Hugh H. Genoways, John C. Patton
Bats Of Guadeloupe, Robert J. Baker, Hugh H. Genoways, John C. Patton
University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers
The bat fauna of the Lesser Antillean chain is of considerable interest because it is composed of a depauperate extension of the South American fauna, species that have a widespread distribution in the Antilles, and a few species that are endemic to the Lesser Antilles (Baker and Genoways, 1978). Relative to bat speciation and diversity, Guadeloupe is probably the most important island of the Antillean chain.
This report is concerned with the natural history and systematics of the 11 chiropteran species known from Guadeloupe, three of which are endemic. Comments concerning systematic relationships are based on specimens that we collected …
