Plasma Corticosterone Levels In Cholesterol-Fed Cockerels Before And After A Twenty Minute Run, Stanley N. David, Clarene L. David Jan 1986

Plasma Corticosterone Levels In Cholesterol-Fed Cockerels Before And After A Twenty Minute Run, Stanley N. David, Clarene L. David

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Cockerels were exercised to observe the influence of physical activity on plasma corticosterone concentrations. The birds were maintained on a commercial mash or on an atherogenic diet. Plasmas were collected on the first day, fifteen days after the first collection and immediately after a 20 minute run on that fifteenth day. The plasma corticosterone levels as determined by radioimmunoassay showed extreme variations within collections. Hence, the data analysis indicated no significant changes of the Compound β in the blood of the cockerels due to diet, or exercise or the combination of both. The causes for the wide variation of plasma …

Summary Account Of The Carolina Parakeet In Arkansas, Daniel Mckinley, Douglas A. James Jan 1984

Summary Account Of The Carolina Parakeet In Arkansas, Daniel Mckinley, Douglas A. James

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

The extinct Carolina Parakeet (Conuropsis carolinensis) once was part of the Arkansas avifauna. The first two reports of the species in what is now Arkansas were made in 1673 and 1718 by early French explorers. The remaining records are from the 1800s when parakeets were found in nearly all parts of the state, often in abundance. The last literature reference for the species still definitely occurring in Arkansas pertains to birds present in the summer of 1885 along the White River at Newport

Success Of Wild-Trapped Compared To Captivity-Raised Birds In Restoring Wild Turkey Populations To Northwestern Arkansas, Douglas A. James, L. Glen Fooks, John R. Preston Jan 1983

Success Of Wild-Trapped Compared To Captivity-Raised Birds In Restoring Wild Turkey Populations To Northwestern Arkansas, Douglas A. James, L. Glen Fooks, John R. Preston

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Reintroduction of wild turkeys into northwestern Arkansas was studied at 10 release sites in the late 1950's. Native birds trapped in southern Arkansas were released at five study areas, and birds from wild Pennsylvania stock reared in captivity were released in five other areas. Although both types of turkeys reproduced, most populations of captivity-raised turkeys decreased sharply whereas all populations of wild-trapped birds exhibited marked increases. Range extension averaged nearly 2.5 miles per year in expanding wild-trapped populations. Captivity-raised birds were comparatively tame and often were found near human habitation. Current expanding turkey populations in the Arkansas Ozarks undoubtedly are …

Status Of The Red-Cockaded Woodpecker At The Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge In Arkansas, Douglas A. James, Fred L. Burnside Jr. Jan 1979

Status Of The Red-Cockaded Woodpecker At The Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge In Arkansas, Douglas A. James, Fred L. Burnside Jr.

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

The Red-cockaded Woodpecker is an endangered species that is endemic to mature pine forests of the southeastern United States. In Arkansas it presently occurs only in pinelands of the Ouachita Province and Gulf Coastal Plain. Cavity trees for nesting and roosting must be mature pines diseased with red-heart fungus. Due to recent forestry practices mature pine stands are disappearing thus reducing numbers of needed cavity trees. The Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in southeastern Arkansas contains high densities of Red-cockaded Woodpeckers and because of favorable management priorities there the survival of the woodpecker seems assured. Populations of the species in other …


Seasonal Abundance And Habitat Distribution Of Birds In Northeastern Arkansas, Earl L. Hanebrink, Alan F. Posey Jan 1979

Seasonal Abundance And Habitat Distribution Of Birds In Northeastern Arkansas, Earl L. Hanebrink, Alan F. Posey

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Bird sighting records from 1964 through 1978 for 17 northeastern Arkansas counties were compiled according to the seasonal status, relative abundance and habitat distribution of each species. The five seasonal occurrence categories and their relative species composition were: transient visitant (46.6%), summer resident (20.3%), winter resident (14.8%), permanent resident (17.2%) and winter visitant (1.0%). The seven seasonal abundance categories and their relative species composition were: very rare (13.9%), rare 15.9%), uncommon (30.7%), fairly common (10.5%), common (25.6%), very common (1.7%) and abundant (1.7%). Eleven habitat categories were included: campestrian, abandoned fields, forest edge, lowland woods, upland woods, riparian woods, marshes, …

Failure To Establish Feral Coturnix Quail Populations In Arkansas In The Late 1950'S, Douglas A. James Jan 1972

Failure To Establish Feral Coturnix Quail Populations In Arkansas In The Late 1950'S, Douglas A. James

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Although Coturnix introductions failed in the late 1950's, it was learned in Arkansas that birds survived longest after autumn releases especially where fallow fields were numerous, that Coturnix favored grasslands whereas the bobwhite preferred shrublands, and that Coturnix occurred singly, pairing only in the breeding season.
