Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
The objectives of this study were to survey the diversity of the aquatic macroinvertebrates ofthe White River National Wildlife Refuge (WRNWR) and determine relative abundances and distributional and seasonal patterns. No comprehensive investigation of WRNWR aquatic macroinvertebrates had been conducted previously. Thirty sampling stations were established within WRNWR. Each station was sampled twice, providing 60 totalsamples, for 1.5 man hours witha Turtox Indestructible™ dip net. Three black light trap samples were taken to augment the species list. A total of 15,056 individuials representing 219 taxa was taken by dip net samples during the sampling period October 1989-September 1990. Insects comprised …
New Distributional Records For Freshwater Mussels In The Ouachita River, Arkansas, William R. Posey Ii, John L. Harris, George L. Harp
New Distributional Records For Freshwater Mussels In The Ouachita River, Arkansas, William R. Posey Ii, John L. Harris, George L. Harp
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Two freshwater mussel species thought to have been extirpated from Arkansas have recently been rediscovered in the Ouachita River in the vicinity of Camden. Prior to this survey, Wheeler (1918) last reported Arkansia wheeleri Ortmann and Walker, the Ouachita rock-pocketbook, and Cumberlandia monodonta (Say), the spectaclecase, from the Ouachita River near Arkadelphia. Quadrula apiculata (Lea), the southern mapleleaf, has been reported from Arkansas on two occasions, but due to taxonomic uncertainty, it has not been recognized in recent compilations of Arkansas freshwater mussels. During this survey, the southern mapleleaf was collected from the Ouachita River which verifies its occurrence within …

First Arkansas Records For Bigscale Logperch Percina Macrolepida Stevenson (Pisces: Percidae), With Comments On Habitat Preference And Distinctive Characters, Thomas M. Buchanan, Chad Hargrave, Drew Wilson, L. G. Claybrook, Philip W. Penny Jr.
First Arkansas Records For Bigscale Logperch Percina Macrolepida Stevenson (Pisces: Percidae), With Comments On Habitat Preference And Distinctive Characters, Thomas M. Buchanan, Chad Hargrave, Drew Wilson, L. G. Claybrook, Philip W. Penny Jr.
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Fish samples were collected with seines and rotenone from 21 localities representing five major habitat types along the Red River in Arkansas. The bigscale logperch, Percina macrolepida, was found at 11 of those sites, providing the first records ofthat species from the state. The primary preferred habitat parameters for bigscale logperch are no current, a sand and/or silt substrate, and a water depth of 1.0-2.0 m. Percina macrolepida is morphologically very similar to the widespread and common logperch, P. caprodes, but can be distinguished from all forms of that species in Arkansas by a combination of characters. Snout shape and …
Techniques For Radiotracking And Biotelemetry Of Coolwater Sport Fish In Norfork Reservoir, Arkansas, Kenda S. Flores
Techniques For Radiotracking And Biotelemetry Of Coolwater Sport Fish In Norfork Reservoir, Arkansas, Kenda S. Flores
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Sonic and radio transmitters were implanted in 19 fish in Norfork Reservoir (12 walleye and seven striped bass) to determine the better transmitter type for two coolwater fish species in riverine and deep basin habitats. Radio transmit ters were equipped with either internal or external antennas and both radio and sonic transmitters had thermistors. Sonic transmitters proved superior to radio transmitters forlocating tagged fish after stratification. Fish implanted with radk transmitters were not found after July while fish implanted with sonic transmitters were located 87% of the time. Walleyt remained in the spring-fed riverine portion ofthe reservoir where water temperatures …

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
In 1994 the University of Arkansas - Little Rock (UALR), in cooperation with the Nature Conservancy and the Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission, began a faunal assessment of Camp Joseph T. Robinson MilitaryInstallation in North LittleRock, Arkansas. The purpose ofthe study was (1) to determine the distribution and the abundance ofnative ? fauna on the installation, (2) to survey the installation for rare and endangered species, and (3) to determine the impact ofhuman activities on sensitive habitats and on the fauna. During the fall (1994-1996), winter (1995-1996) and spring « (1995-1996) seasons, mammals were located by either live-trapping, mist-netting, scent stations, …
Distribution And Natural History Aspects Of The Arkansas Endemic Crayfish, Cambarus Causeyi Reimer, Henry W. Robison, Gene Leeds
Distribution And Natural History Aspects Of The Arkansas Endemic Crayfish, Cambarus Causeyi Reimer, Henry W. Robison, Gene Leeds
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Recent collections of the Arkansas endemic crayfish, Cambarus causeyi Reimer, have yielded important information concerning its distribution and habitat within the state. New locations and county records are enumerated, habitat preferences discussed, and status ofthis heretofore rare crayfish species is clarified.

Dietary Diversity And Overlap Between Two Subspecies Of Spadefoot Toads (Scaphiopus Holbrookii Holbrookii And S. H. Hurterii) In Arkansas, David H. Jamieson, Stanley E. Trauth
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
The food habits of adult spadefoot toads (Scaphiopus h. holbrookii and S. h. hurterii) collected in Arkansas were exam ined during this study. Thirty-six adult S. h. holbrookii (29 males and 7 females) and 48 adult S. h. hurterii (23 males and 2 females) were necropsied. Most specimens were collected over a 10-year span oftime (1985-94). Alltoads were taken from breeding aggregations which were visited periodically inany given year (frommid-February to late April).Prey items wer found in the stomachs of 13 (36.1%) of the S. h. holbrookii and 23 (48.0%) ofthe S. h. hurterii. Scaphiopus h. holbrookii and h. hurterii …
