The UWM Field Stations Committee is composed of dedicated individuals interested in preserving natural areas for educational and scientific purposes. Success in the acquisition of such areas is often the result of the extra effort of one person. Such is the role played by Professor Alvin L. Throne, the Chairman of a previous committee and a former member of the present one. Until this Bulletin came into existence, there was no way to inform his many students and friends of his contributions, so this belated article is an expression of appreciation to Professor Throne for his years of dedicated service.

The Use Of Bio-Telemetry For Studying Squirrel Population Dynamics And Behavior, Paul E. Matthiae
Field Station Bulletins
A full understanding of the ecology and behavior of any animal requires a knowledge of the animal's movements. Historically, data from natural events involving any animal under natural conditions have been obtained from such methods as trapping, marking, recapture and visual observations. In the 1950's and early 1960's however, major breakthroughs in data gathering techniques were made when biologists began developing telemetering devices with which to monitor animal movement and to a limited degree, physiological parameters. Wild animals were being tracked for days, weeks and even months, continuously telemetering such events as temperature, daily and seasonal movement patterns, dispersal and …

Phenology is embedded in human folklore and culture but it is also a science--a science of the relationships between biological events and environmental changes, chiefly those of season and weather. As a science phenology is closely related to ecology, physiology, meteorology and genetics. Agriculture, forestry and game management are among the applied sciences that depend heavily on phenological knowledge.

Field Station Bulletins
An investigation which has been underway for several years at the Cedar-Sauk Field Station and the adjacent Cedarburg Bog is concerned with the American Yew or Ground Hemlock (Taxus canadensis Marsh.) and the Eastern Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis (1.) Carr.). The yew occurs naturally in small clumps in the upland maple-beech woods, on several islands in the bog and on the better drained ridges and knolls throughout the bog area. Nowhere is it very abundant. In contrast, the hemlock has not been reported in the vicinity of the Station; however, scattered trees of various sizes occur in some of the wooded …

Thomas F. Grittinger's thesis, entitled "Vegetational Patterns and Edaphic Relationships in Cedarburg Bog," summarized for the first time we now have a large amount of information about the variety and detailed composition of the vegetation within the bog, together with related factors such as peat depth and water quality. The vegetation types were objectively analyzed, described, and mapped, then related to site factors and history of distrubance.

A number of events are being recorded at the UWM Field Station, chiefly concerning the earliest arrival dates of certain birds and the earliest flowering dates of native woodland and bog plants. In the table below are listed some events which may be observed during the months of April and May. Those starred (*) are of particular interest to researchers at the Field Station, and any observations by our readers will be appreciated.
A 24-Hour Radiation Budget At A High-Grass Marsh In Early Winter, Dennis Mayville
A 24-Hour Radiation Budget At A High-Grass Marsh In Early Winter, Dennis Mayville
Field Station Bulletins
As with others of the numerous physical factors forming the nonliving environment of terrestrial ecosystems, the upward and downward exchanges of the fluxes of solar (short-wave) and terrestrial (long-wave) radiation often appear in the literature as yearly, seasonal, or monthly averages. Because these tend to present a misleading or incomplete picture of environmental conditions, a 24-hour series of measurements is presented here. A series of radiation measurements was taken to determine the radiation budget at a high-grass marsh in early winter.
Small Mammals At The Field Station, Donald Morzenti
Small Mammals At The Field Station, Donald Morzenti
Field Station Bulletins
Ecological studies of small mammals are undertaken for a variety of reasons. Some investigations are conducted to determine their economic relationship to man, since small mammals directly affect his welfare through transmission of diseases and parasites and through destruction of crops, orchards, and forest seedlings. Much research, however, is basic in nature. The primary objectives of such research are to aid in man's quest for knowledge concerning the distributional and population aspects of small mammals. During the summer of 1968, an intensive live-trapping program was begun to determine the status of small mammals, primarily mice and shrews, among the various …
