Creating A Geographical Information System For Freshwater Crabs And Fishes In Greece, Eugene G. Maurakis, Walter R.T. Witschey, Panos S. Economidis, Dimitra Bobori
Virginia Journal of Science
A geographical information system (GIS) for freshwater crabs and fishes in Greece was created in response to the European Environmental Agency's (EEA) biodiversity initiative for European Union countries. A total of 1931 collections, made with seines, dipnets, and backpack electroshockers in 32 drainages of Greece, yielded 126 species of fishes and crabs in 2,359 data records including species, latitude, longitude, drainage, prefecture, and locality, 731 also include stream order, elevation, gradient, stream width and depth, pH, temperature, and distance to river mouth. Our GIS indicates current distributions of species, species rich and poor areas, anomalous species distributions, areas warranting further …

An Unusually Colored Red-Backed Salamander (Plethodon Cinerus) From Northern Virginia, Joseph C. Mitchell, Thomas K. Pauley, C. Todd Georgel
Virginia Journal of Science
We describe an orange-pink, patternless, translucent morph of the Red-backed Salamander (Plethodon cinereus) found in northern Virginia on 27 September 2001. This is the first description of this unusual phenotype in this terrestrial salamander.
Keys To The Mammals And Mammal Skulls Of The Northern Coastal Plain Of Virginia, John F. Pagels, A. Scott Bellows, Joseph C. Mitchell
Keys To The Mammals And Mammal Skulls Of The Northern Coastal Plain Of Virginia, John F. Pagels, A. Scott Bellows, Joseph C. Mitchell
Virginia Journal of Science
This publication is designed to function as a tool for the identification of mammal species that occur on the Coastal Plain of northern Virginia. We provide whole-body and skull keys to the 40 species that occur in this region. Baseline data for this work were collected during several studies conducted on Fort A.P. Hill, Caroline County. The intended audience includes interested naturalists, teachers, students, field biologists, and natural resource managers.
