A Preliminary List Of Butterflies And Skippers From The Uwm Field Station, Susan S. Borkin
A Preliminary List Of Butterflies And Skippers From The Uwm Field Station, Susan S. Borkin
Field Station Bulletins
This preliminary list is a result of opportunistic collecting by staff members of the Milwaukee Public Museum's Invertebrate Zoology Section at the UWM Cedar-Sauk Field Station during the past nine years. A total of 55 butterfly (Papilionoidea) and skipper (Hesperioidea) species have been collected in various habitats at the Field Station with one additional species, Lycaena epixanthe found in the Sapa-Black Spruce Bog. More intensive collecting should turn up additional species since the Field Station lies within the geographic ranges of over 90 butterflies and skippers according to recent distribution maps (Opler and Krizek, 1984; and Scott, 1986). Of course, …
A Preliminary Survey Of Fungi At The Uwm Field Station, Alan D. Parker
A Preliminary Survey Of Fungi At The Uwm Field Station, Alan D. Parker
Field Station Bulletins
Three previous accounts of fungi occurring at the Field Station have appeared in the Bulletin. The first inventory of seventy-five species, including 29 plant pathogens, was published by Baxter (1970). Baxter and Bronaugh (1974) isolated four species of aquatic Hyphomycetes during their study of this group in southeastern Wisconsin. Ciombor and Dibben (1984) identified 29 fungi, 23 of which had not been previously reported. In addition, Baxter (1973) listed the following five fungi as new records for Wisconsin, but did not indicate where they were collected. The present paper reports 71 species, 46 of which are new records. Also included …
The Neda Iron Ore Of Southeastern Wisconsin, William K. Kean
The Neda Iron Ore Of Southeastern Wisconsin, William K. Kean
Field Station Bulletins
The Neda Iron Mine, located between Iron Ridge and MayviTie, Wisconsin, is a property owned by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and managed by the UWM Field Station. The site today is a rather unobtrusive ridge of resistant dolomite, not dissimilar to a number of other resistant ridges which mark the presence of the Silurian dolomite in eastern Wisconsin. This dolomite is essentially the same rock formation which dips down under the state of Michigan and reemerges in western New York to form Niagara Falls. Beneath this resistant dolomite, is a thin surface exposure of red iron ore, known as the …
Daily Organization Of Vocalizations Of Forest-Edge Birds In Wisconsin, James W. Popp, Millicent S. Ficken, Robert W. Ficken
Daily Organization Of Vocalizations Of Forest-Edge Birds In Wisconsin, James W. Popp, Millicent S. Ficken, Robert W. Ficken
Field Station Bulletins
The daily patterning of vocalizations was determined for 15 species of forest-edge birds at the UWM Field Station. Species that were predominately callers (gave few songs) had very erratic patterns of vocalizations. Species that were primarily singers had distinct morning peaks in singing ("dawn chorus") and, for most species, smaller evening peaks. Some of the singers also had small mid-afternoon peaks when the overall singing rates were low. With the exception of the Field Sparrow, which had a peak before most other species, and the towhee, which had a peak after most other species, there was little interspecific variation in …
A Guide To The Natural History Of The Cedarburg Bog: Part Ii, James A. Reinartz
A Guide To The Natural History Of The Cedarburg Bog: Part Ii, James A. Reinartz
Field Station Bulletins
The boardwalk that extends to the center of the Cedarburg Bog is the UWM Field Station's most heavily used teaching facility. Research is also conducted in the Bog, which holds an understandable fascination for researchers and students of natural history because of its size, complexity, diversity and geographical isolation from similar communities. Because of the increasing research and teaching use of the Bog, it has become essential that some of what is known about the natural history of the Bog be assembled and summarized in an easily accessible introduction and guide. The guide contains too much material to fit into …
