A Preliminary Survey Of Archaeological Sites Surrounding Cedarburg Bog, Donald A. Bezella
A Preliminary Survey Of Archaeological Sites Surrounding Cedarburg Bog, Donald A. Bezella
Field Station Bulletins
Cedarburg Bog was an attractive location for prehistoric Indian occupancy sites. The combination of upland deciduous forest and lowland marsh environments provided a rich food resource base for native inhabitants. During a surface survey conducted in 1991-1992, 11 habitation sites were located on the Bog's adjacent upland area. Projectile points which were found on the various sites and were diagnostic of certain periods, revealed a range of habitation from Early Archaic (6000 B.C.) to Late Woodland (1700 A.D.). Based on the characteristics of the sites discovered, it is apparent that other sites remain to be uncovered. This preliminary survey was …

A checklist of 100 species from 16 families is presented in this preliminary report of spiders at the UWM Field Station. Listed with the species are the months and habitats in which they were collected.
Seed Germination Requirements Of Four Species Co-Occurring In A Wisconsin Sedge Meadow, John L. Larson
Seed Germination Requirements Of Four Species Co-Occurring In A Wisconsin Sedge Meadow, John L. Larson
Field Station Bulletins
Seeds of four colonizing species which occur together in a recently revegetated sedge meadow were tested for germination after storage under three different conditions. Seeds were tested at an alternating temperature regime of 21° C dark, and 32° C light. Three species, Bidens frondosa, B. coronata, and Scirpus cyperinus germinated most successfully when stored under moist-cool conditions. Germination of Carex scoparia was consistently high and was not affected by storage condition. Differences in seed germination among the four species may contribute to their coexistence in highly disturbed environments such as newly revegetated sedge meadows.
Acoustic Communication Of The Trumpeter Swan (Cygnus Buccinator), Maureen Patton-Gross, Millicent S. Ficken
Acoustic Communication Of The Trumpeter Swan (Cygnus Buccinator), Maureen Patton-Gross, Millicent S. Ficken
Field Station Bulletins
Six cygnet calls, eight adult calls, and one nonvocal sound of Trumpeter Swans are categorized and described. Calls vary greatly in complexity. Many form graded series, while others are discrete. Most of the cygnet calls are involved with soliciting aid from a parent, while adult calls have a wider variety of functions.
Uwm Field Station Meteorological Data, James W. Popp
Uwm Field Station Meteorological Data, James W. Popp
Field Station Bulletins
During 1989, the UWM Field Station obtained a digital data logger weather station manufactured by Campbell Scientific, Inc. The equipment was operational in September 1989 and has produced continuous records since that time. The weather station is located next to the laboratory building in an open field. The meteorological data produced by this station are available by request. Here, I describe the various forms in which the data are available and provide annual summaries for September 1989 through 1991.
