Verbascum Densiflorum At The Uwm Field Station, James A. Reinartz
Verbascum Densiflorum At The Uwm Field Station, James A. Reinartz
Field Station Bulletins
Nine of 260 species of the Eurasian genus Verba scum have been reported from North America; only two (y. thapsus and y. blattaria) are common. Verba scum densiflorum is well established in the U.S. only in southeast Wisconsin in the area immediately surrounding the Field Station where it is an aggressive weed. It differs morphologically, phenologically and ecologically from either y. thapsus or y. phlomoides, the two more common species which it superficially resembles.
Seasonal Changes And Overwintering Of Endoparasites In The Bat (Myotis Lucifugus) In A Southeastern Wisconsin Hibernaculum, James R. Coggins
Seasonal Changes And Overwintering Of Endoparasites In The Bat (Myotis Lucifugus) In A Southeastern Wisconsin Hibernaculum, James R. Coggins
Field Station Bulletins
Eight digenetic trematode species (Phylum Platyhelminthes, Subclass Digena), one cestode species (Phylum Platyhelminthes, Class Cestoidea) and three nematode species (Phylum Nematoda) were recovered from the little brown bat, Myotis lucifugus, at the Neda Mine hibernaculum in southeastern Wisconsin. Bats displayed a rich and diverse helminth fauna throughout the year. Statistically significant seasonal variation was observed for two digenetic trematodes. Mean intensities and prevalence of parasites were highest in autumn and spring and lowest in summer. Highest species diversity occurred in autumn. Greater intensity and prevalence in autumn and spring were correlated with bat swarming and emergence patterns, behavioral phenomena which …
Fungal Flora Of Southeastern Wisconsin, Kristine Ciombor, Martyn J. Dibben
Fungal Flora Of Southeastern Wisconsin, Kristine Ciombor, Martyn J. Dibben
Field Station Bulletins
Since its reorganization in 1981, one goal of the Wisconsin Mycological Society has been a comprehensive long-term survey of fleshy and other fungi of southeastern Wisconsin. Over a period of years, random collections are to be made at a series of selected foray sites to document spring through fall floras. The UWM Field Station is one of these foray sites. Habitat and locality are to be recorded for each specimen along with field characteristics. Each identified collection will be dried and filed in the herbarium of the Milwaukee Public Museum. To date 35 specimens representing 29 species are on file. …
Research In Plant Ecology At Uwm - 1965 To 1984, Forest Stearns
Research In Plant Ecology At Uwm - 1965 To 1984, Forest Stearns
Field Station Bulletins
Ecological research on plants and plant communities has been an active program at UWM, Involving several faculty, many undergraduate and graduate students and the UWM Field Station. Aquatic and urban environments, forests and wetlands have received most attention although prairie and landscape ecology and endangered species have not been neglected. Descriptive, theoretical and applied studies are Included spanning the spectrum from the autecology of a single species to examination of entire landscapes. Over the period of 20 years, 54 M.S. theses, nine Ph.D. dissertations and numerous published papers and reports have resulted. University-sponsored research serves several purposes: discovery of new …
String Bog Or "Strangmoor" In Cedarburg Bog, Thomas F. Grillinger
String Bog Or "Strangmoor" In Cedarburg Bog, Thomas F. Grillinger
Field Station Bulletins
This paper discusses the string bog portion of Cedarburg Bog and the origin of string bogs in general. String bog or "strangmoor" Is found in Cedarburg Bog, which Is about 200 miles south of the southernmost string bog location previously reported. The string bog Is deep within the bog, remote from both the periphery of the bog and the open lakes within It. This vegetational pattern consists of slightly raised ridges and islands with woody vegetation, alternating with flat sedge mat areas. This string bog, like others of North America and Eurasia, is found on a slightly sloping surface; the …
Autecological Studies Of Drosera Linearis, A Threatened Sundew Species, Juliet C. Stromberg-Wilkins
Autecological Studies Of Drosera Linearis, A Threatened Sundew Species, Juliet C. Stromberg-Wilkins
Field Station Bulletins
The linear-leaf sundew has been extirpated from several stations at the southern edge of Its range. Cedarburg Bog is believed to harbor the largest of the remaining southern colonies of this species. Drosera linearis has a lower reproductive output at Cedarburg Bog than at other sites, and produces fewer seeds per plant than the three sundew species which share its range. The population studied at Cedarburg Bog declined in population size and reproductive output from 1980 to 1982, and revealed characteristics associated with high rates of local extinction. Populations experienced rapid turnover of individuals, and population size was closely coupled …
The Occurrence And Distribution Of Prairie-Associated Plants And Remnant Prairie Communities In The Northern Kettle Moraine State Forest, William K. Volkert
The Occurrence And Distribution Of Prairie-Associated Plants And Remnant Prairie Communities In The Northern Kettle Moraine State Forest, William K. Volkert
Field Station Bulletins
This paper summarizes findings on the occurrence and distribution of native prairie grasses and forbs on non-forested sites in the Kettle Moraine State Forest Northern Unit (KMSF). Twelve remnant prairie communities were located. These twelve sites Included a total of 5 prairie grasses and 46 forb species.
