The Vims Trawl Survey : Juvenile Atlantic Croaker, Brenda L. Norcross, Ginny H. Shaw Dec 1983

The Vims Trawl Survey : Juvenile Atlantic Croaker, Brenda L. Norcross, Ginny H. Shaw

Reports

An index of juvenile croaker recruitment was developed to test proposed relationships between juveniles and environmental factors. The VIMS trawl survey data base is unique on the east coast because of its duration and continuity. No other data set exists that samples the same species in the same locality with concurrent physical data over a long period of time.

An Evaluation Of Small Rodents In Four Dismal Swamp Plant Communities, F. Elizabeth Breidling, Frank P. Day Jr., Robert K. Rose Apr 1983

An Evaluation Of Small Rodents In Four Dismal Swamp Plant Communities, F. Elizabeth Breidling, Frank P. Day Jr., Robert K. Rose

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

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 large 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.

Only two small rodent species were captured: Ochrotomys nuttalli and Peromyscus leucopus …
