The Fall And Winter Food Habits Of The Black Bear (Ursus Americanus) In The Great Dismal Swamp Of Virginia, Francis Leonard Daniel
The Fall And Winter Food Habits Of The Black Bear (Ursus Americanus) In The Great Dismal Swamp Of Virginia, Francis Leonard Daniel
Biological Sciences Theses & Dissertations
A study was conducted on the food habits of the black bear (Ursus americanus) in the Great Dismal Swamp of Virginia. A total of four stomachs and 42 scats were analyzed. Four samples were collected from September and October of 1975, and the remainder of the samples were collected from September 1976 to February 1977. The study was conducted to obtain information vital to the management of this species in the Great Dismal Swamp. Vitis spp. was the primary food item during the fall comprising 43% of the total diet, followed by fruits of Diospyros virginiana and Asimina triloba, each …

Distribution Of Bats In The Delta Region Of Northeastern Arkansas, James E. Gardner, V. Rick Mcdaniel
Distribution Of Bats In The Delta Region Of Northeastern Arkansas, James E. Gardner, V. Rick Mcdaniel
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Eight taxa of bats are reported from seven counties in northeastern Arkansas. Localities, natural history notes, sex, age and reproductive condition are reported for most species. New records are combined with previously existing ones to reveal a greater distribution of chiroptera for the state

Zoogeography Of Antillean Bats, Robert J. Baker, Hugh H. Genoways
Zoogeography Of Antillean Bats, Robert J. Baker, Hugh H. Genoways
University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers
Analysis of the bat fauna of the Antillean Islands suggest that the most probable source of invasion of the islands by bats is by overwater dispersal. The bat fauna of ·the Greater Antilles is unique, a percentage of endemism on each island being over 50 percent except for the Virgin Islands which has 33 percent endemics.
The richest bat fauna in the Antilles is on Cuba (32 species) followed by Jamaica (23 species) then Hispaniola (17 species) and Puerto Rico (16 species). The number of species found on Cuba is probably the result of the island's proximity to Central and …
The Reproductive Cycle Of Microtus Ochrogaster In Eastern Kansas, Robert K. Rose, Michael S. Gaines
The Reproductive Cycle Of Microtus Ochrogaster In Eastern Kansas, Robert K. Rose, Michael S. Gaines
Biological Sciences Faculty Publications
About 800 Microtus ochrogaster were live—trapped at biweekly intervals from May 1971 through March 1973 in 3 grassland study areas in eastern Kansas, USA. Details of reproduction were determined by autopsy. Population density increased through the first winter, reached a peak in April 1972, then declined sharply during that summer and beyond. Body length, but not body mass, tended to be positively related to density. Both sexes matured at about the same weight; development was somewhat prolonged during the winter months, especially in the winter preceding the population peak. Pregnancy rates were high, approaching maximal iteroparity, throughout the study, with …
Species Composition And Diversity Of Hawk Populations In Northeastern Arkansas, Earl L. Hanebrink, Keith B. Sutton, Alan F. Posey
Species Composition And Diversity Of Hawk Populations In Northeastern Arkansas, Earl L. Hanebrink, Keith B. Sutton, Alan F. Posey
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Species composition and diversity of hawk populations were analyzed for northeastern Arkansas by the use of roadside censuses conducted in September through April from 1974- 1977. Data from 10 years of Jonesboro Christmas Bird Counts were also analyzed. During the roadside survey 20,174 miles were driven and 1819 raptors were counted. Ten species were observed with the Red-tailed Hawk being most abundant followed by the Marsh Hawk and the American Kestrel. Eight species were recorded from the 10 years of Christmas Bird Counts. Annual breeding bird surveys and spot records turned up three additional species making a total of 14 …

Fishes Of Morrow Creek, A Lower Ouachita River Tributary, In Southern Arkansas, Henry W. Robison, Stephen A. Winters
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
The fishes of Moro Creek, a fifth order stream tributary of the lower Ouachita River in southern Arkansas, were sampled from 1972-1977. Field collections, literature records and museum records revealed a total of 63 species representing 14 families. An undescribed cyprinid, the bluehead shiner, is reported from Moro Creek for the first time. In general, longitudinal zonation of fish species was apparent as species diversity increased downstream. Stream inhabitants were typical Coastal Plain fishes of the lower Ouachita River system.

Range And Status Of The Nutria, Myocastor Coypus, In Arkansas, Joe W. Bailey, Gary A. Heidt
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
An extensive survey has shown that the current range of the nutria, Myocastor coypus. in Arkansas should include the West Gulf Coastal Plain, the Mississippi Alluvial Plain (to Missouri) and the Arkansas Valley along the Arkansas River to Oklahoma. The extensive river and creek systems in the state have provided ready avenues for dispersal, allowing for extremely rapid expansion from the early 1960's when nutria were first observed in the southern part of the state. The current range probably represents most of the suitable habitat in the state and it is felt that further expansion will be held to a …
