Morphological Variation In The Southeastern Pocket Gopher, Geomys Pinetis (Mammalia: Rodentia), Stephen L. Williams, Hugh H. Genoways
Morphological Variation In The Southeastern Pocket Gopher, Geomys Pinetis (Mammalia: Rodentia), Stephen L. Williams, Hugh H. Genoways
University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers
The nominal species of southeastern pocket gophers (Geomys pinetis, G. colonus, G. cumberlandius, and G. fontanelus), which collectively occupy a geographic range on the Atlantic and Gulf coastal plain of Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, were examined for morphological variation. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine age, sexual, individual, and geographic variation in G. pinetis. 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. Of the four named species in the pinetis-species group (colonus …
Karyology And Morphometrics Of Three Species Of Akodon (Mammalia: Muridae) From Northwestern Argentina, Rubén M. Barquez, Daniel F. Williams, Michael A. Mares, Hugh H. Genoways
Karyology And Morphometrics Of Three Species Of Akodon (Mammalia: Muridae) From Northwestern Argentina, Rubén M. Barquez, Daniel F. Williams, Michael A. Mares, Hugh H. Genoways
University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers
Chromosomal and morphometric studies were conducted on a sample from an assemblage of Akodon spp. occurring in various patterns of sympatry from the provinces of Catamarca, Jujuy, Salta, and Tucumán, Argentina. Results showed three distinct morphometric groups based upon size. Size also varied with age, but there were no significant differences in measurements of males and females. The three morphometric groups have distinct karyotypes. Akodon caenosus Thomas is the smallest of the three, and has a karyotype of 2n = 34, FN = 40. A. boliviensis tucumanensis J. A. Allen is intermediate in size and has 2n = 40, FN …

Results Of The Alcoa Foundation-Suriname Expeditions. Iv. A New Species Of Bat Of The Genus Molossops (Mammalia: Molossidae), Stephen L. Williams, Hugh H. Genoways
University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers
A new species of molossid bat of the genus Molossops is described from Suriname. The new species is a member of the subgenus Molossops where it is distinguished from the other two member species, temminckii and aequatorianus, by larger external and cranial size. A single specimen of the species was taken in northern Suriname in an area of savannah and secondary forest.
1980 Fall Field Day
Nebraska Bird Review
1980 FALL FIELD DAY
Sixty people participated in at least part of the 1980 Fall' Field Day, which was held from noon 4 October to noon 5 October at the 4-H Camp, Nebraska National Forest, Halsey, The weather was on the cool side, but nice - maybe too nice, for many of the warblers apparently migrated during the night. Seventy-one species were reported from the Forest or immediately adjacent to it: Mallard, Blue-winged Teal, Wood Duck, Turkey Vulture; Sharp-shinned, Cooper's, Red-tailed, and Swainsons's Hawks; Golden Eagle (an immature, seen over the Camp after most people had left); Marsh Hawk, Osprey, …

Latitudinal Variation In The Relationship Between Rosette Diameter And Fate In Common Mullein (Verbascum Thapsus L.), James A. Reinartz
Latitudinal Variation In The Relationship Between Rosette Diameter And Fate In Common Mullein (Verbascum Thapsus L.), James A. Reinartz
Field Station Bulletins
There is currently a good deal of interest in the "biennial" life history. This stems from the fact that theoretical analysis of the selective advantage of alternate life histories predicts that biennials should seldom be favored relative to annual or perennial alternatives (Hart, 1977). However biennials often appear highly successful in terms of abundance, being both common and widespread, even though they constitute only a small proportion of any flora. This paper describes the effects of latitude on the relationship between rosette diameter at the end of one growing season and a plant's fate in the next (death, continued vegetative …
Primary Production In Wild And Cultivated Cranberries, Mark Walstrom, Forest Stearns
Primary Production In Wild And Cultivated Cranberries, Mark Walstrom, Forest Stearns
Field Station Bulletins
Cranberries grow in many Wisconsin sphagnum bogs. One of the two species, the large cranberry, Vaccinium macrocarpon Alt., is among the few American fruit crops in cultivation. Most of the cultivated cranberries have been derived by selection from wild, and more recently from cultivated clones. Like the large cranberry, the small cranberry, Vaccinium oxycoccos L., is native to Wisconsin bogs and it, too, provides wildlife food, though it has not been selected for cultivation. This study examined the primary productivity of wild and cultivated cranberries (Wahlstrom 1979).
Seasonal Activity Patterns In The Bat Community At Neda Mine, Charles Rupprecht
Seasonal Activity Patterns In The Bat Community At Neda Mine, Charles Rupprecht
Field Station Bulletins
Even though bats represent a relatively abundant, biologically fascinating and highly beneficial component of Wisconsin's wildlife, they remain poorly studied and greatly misunderstood. Accounts of the seasonal adaptive strategies of most bats are inadequate or fragmentary (Barbour and Davis 1969). Rarely have researchers investigated more than one species at a single time and place. The aim of this study was to make simultaneous comparisons by sex and species of the various adaptive strategies employed by members of the Neda Mine bat community on an annual basis.

Transpiration And Co2 Fixation Of Selected Desert Shrubs As Related To Soil-Water Potential, S. B. Clark, J. Letey Jr., O. R. Lunt, A. Wallace, G. E. Kleinkopf, E. M. Romney
Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs
In desert plants, transpiration rates decreased before photosynthetic rates when plants were entering a period of water stress. This may have adaptive consequences. A difference of -5 bars in the soil-moisture potential had considerable importance in reducing the rate of transpiration. In Helianthus annuus L. (sunflower) the photosynthetic rate decreased before the transpiration rate in contrast to Great Basin-Mojave Desert plants, and the changes occurred with a -1 bar difference in soil-moisture potential. Morphological changes in three desert plant species [Artemisia tridentata Nutt., Ambrosia dumosa (Gray) Payne, Larrea tridentata (Ses. Moc. ex DC) Cov.] as the soil-moisture potential decreased …

Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs
An area of 0.46 km2 divided into six zones in the northern Mojave Desert transitional with the Great Basin Desert has been studied. Diversity is high among the perennial plant species within the 0.46 km2 area. Common species for the two deserts that are present in the area studied are Atriplex confertifolia (Torr. & Frem.) S.Wats., Ceratoides lanata (Pursh) J. T. Howell, Grayia spinosa (Hook.) Moq., Ephedra nevadensis S. Wats. Some other species present include Lycium andersonii A.

Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs
Fifty samples of Atriplex hymenelytra (Torr.) S. Wats, were collected from several different locations in southern Nevada and California to test variability in mineral composition. Only Na, V, P. Ca, Mg, Mn, and Sr in the samples appeared to represent a uniform population resulting in normal curves for frequency distribution. Even so, about 40 percent of the variance for these elements was due to location. All elements differed enough with location so that no element really represented a uniform population. The coefficient of variation for most elements was over 40 percent and one was over 100 percent. The proportion of …
An Evaluation Of Small Rodent Populations In Four Dismal Swamp Plant Communities, Fiona Elizabeth Breidling
An Evaluation Of Small Rodent Populations In Four Dismal Swamp Plant Communities, Fiona Elizabeth Breidling
Biological Sciences Theses & Dissertations
Diversity and density of small rodents in the Dismal Swamp are believed to be low. Reasons for this may be excessive predation, heavy interspecific pressure from larger rodents, lack of suitable habitat, low food availability or flooding.
Rodent populations were evaluated using live-traps and pitfall traps in four different Dismal Swamp plant communities. Habitat was compared on the basis of phytomass studies previously reported. Flood levels were recorded during live-trapping sessions. Mast from trees was collected in modified mast collectors, and fed to Peromyscus leucopus in the laboratory. Mast was analyzed for caloric value and nutrient content.

Provisional Checklist Of Mammals Of South Dakota, Jerry R. Choate, J. Knox Jones Jr.
Provisional Checklist Of Mammals Of South Dakota, Jerry R. Choate, J. Knox Jones Jr.
University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers
Distributional patterns of mammals in South Dakota are among the most poorly known for any region of similar size in temperate North America. The only state-wide treatment of the group was the mimeographed compilation by Over and Churchill (1945), which consisted mostly of nontechnical anecdotes. Consequently, much of what is known of the distribution of South Dakotan mammals has been derived from localized inventories (Findley 1956a on Clay County ; Andersen and Jones 1971 on Harding County; Turner 1974 on the Black Hills; and Wilhelm et al. 1981 on Lacreek National Wildlife Refuge in Bennett County). These studies, supplemented with …
