A Preliminary List Of Butterflies And Skippers From The Uwm Field Station, Susan S. Borkin
A Preliminary List Of Butterflies And Skippers From The Uwm Field Station, Susan S. Borkin
Field Station Bulletins
This preliminary list is a result of opportunistic collecting by staff members of the Milwaukee Public Museum's Invertebrate Zoology Section at the UWM Cedar-Sauk Field Station during the past nine years. A total of 55 butterfly (Papilionoidea) and skipper (Hesperioidea) species have been collected in various habitats at the Field Station with one additional species, Lycaena epixanthe found in the Sapa-Black Spruce Bog. More intensive collecting should turn up additional species since the Field Station lies within the geographic ranges of over 90 butterflies and skippers according to recent distribution maps (Opler and Krizek, 1984; and Scott, 1986). Of course, …
A Preliminary Survey Of Fungi At The Uwm Field Station, Alan D. Parker
A Preliminary Survey Of Fungi At The Uwm Field Station, Alan D. Parker
Field Station Bulletins
Three previous accounts of fungi occurring at the Field Station have appeared in the Bulletin. The first inventory of seventy-five species, including 29 plant pathogens, was published by Baxter (1970). Baxter and Bronaugh (1974) isolated four species of aquatic Hyphomycetes during their study of this group in southeastern Wisconsin. Ciombor and Dibben (1984) identified 29 fungi, 23 of which had not been previously reported. In addition, Baxter (1973) listed the following five fungi as new records for Wisconsin, but did not indicate where they were collected. The present paper reports 71 species, 46 of which are new records. Also included …
The Neda Iron Ore Of Southeastern Wisconsin, William K. Kean
The Neda Iron Ore Of Southeastern Wisconsin, William K. Kean
Field Station Bulletins
The Neda Iron Mine, located between Iron Ridge and MayviTie, Wisconsin, is a property owned by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and managed by the UWM Field Station. The site today is a rather unobtrusive ridge of resistant dolomite, not dissimilar to a number of other resistant ridges which mark the presence of the Silurian dolomite in eastern Wisconsin. This dolomite is essentially the same rock formation which dips down under the state of Michigan and reemerges in western New York to form Niagara Falls. Beneath this resistant dolomite, is a thin surface exposure of red iron ore, known as the …
Daily Organization Of Vocalizations Of Forest-Edge Birds In Wisconsin, James W. Popp, Millicent S. Ficken, Robert W. Ficken
Daily Organization Of Vocalizations Of Forest-Edge Birds In Wisconsin, James W. Popp, Millicent S. Ficken, Robert W. Ficken
Field Station Bulletins
The daily patterning of vocalizations was determined for 15 species of forest-edge birds at the UWM Field Station. Species that were predominately callers (gave few songs) had very erratic patterns of vocalizations. Species that were primarily singers had distinct morning peaks in singing ("dawn chorus") and, for most species, smaller evening peaks. Some of the singers also had small mid-afternoon peaks when the overall singing rates were low. With the exception of the Field Sparrow, which had a peak before most other species, and the towhee, which had a peak after most other species, there was little interspecific variation in …

A Guide To The Natural History Of The Cedarburg Bog: Part Ii, James A. Reinartz
A Guide To The Natural History Of The Cedarburg Bog: Part Ii, James A. Reinartz
Field Station Bulletins
The boardwalk that extends to the center of the Cedarburg Bog is the UWM Field Station's most heavily used teaching facility. Research is also conducted in the Bog, which holds an understandable fascination for researchers and students of natural history because of its size, complexity, diversity and geographical isolation from similar communities. Because of the increasing research and teaching use of the Bog, it has become essential that some of what is known about the natural history of the Bog be assembled and summarized in an easily accessible introduction and guide. The guide contains too much material to fit into …
Economic Appraisal Of Service Forester Activities In Mississippi, Thomas J. Straka, Walter C. Anderson, Steven H. Bullard
Economic Appraisal Of Service Forester Activities In Mississippi, Thomas J. Straka, Walter C. Anderson, Steven H. Bullard
Faculty Publications
The importance of nonindustrial private forest( NIPF) lands to national timber output potential is well-documented (USDA Forest Service 1981, 1982; Wall 1981). The NIPF sector controls 58 percent of the Nation's commercial fm·est area, compared to 14- percent in forest industry holdings, and 28 percent in public forests (Figure 1). Approximately 71 percent of the commercial forest area in the eastern United States is held by the NIPF sector.
Role Of Company Sales In Funding Research And Development By Major U.S. Paper Companies, Steven H. Bullard, Thomas J. Straka
Role Of Company Sales In Funding Research And Development By Major U.S. Paper Companies, Steven H. Bullard, Thomas J. Straka
Faculty Publications
Forestry research is conducted by state and federal agencies and by many private firms. Studies of research productivity and efficiency are increasingly common in forestry, due to the greater scale of research activity, and increasing competition for both public and private funds. Research evaluations rely on accurate measures of research inputs and outputs. This article presents an equation to predict research inputs for five major firms in the U.S. pulp and paper industry. Pulp and paper research by major U.S. companies is very closely related to corporate sales each year. The relationship empirically supports important assumptions that have been used …
Rates Of Return On Silvicultural Practices, Steven H. Bullard, Bobb L. Karr
Rates Of Return On Silvicultural Practices, Steven H. Bullard, Bobb L. Karr
Faculty Publications
Anticipated rates of return can help landowners and forest managers evaluate hardwood control and many other stand treatments. A simple microcomputer model is discussed which displays rates of return for specific stand treatment conditions. The program can be used before or after taxes and with or without inflation. The model displays rates of return for ranges of silvicultural treatment costs and expected harvest value increases, thus providing information for evaluating treatments where growth responses or future prices are difficult to estimate.
Potential Reasons For Publicly Funded Forestry Research, Steven H. Bullard
Potential Reasons For Publicly Funded Forestry Research, Steven H. Bullard
Faculty Publications
The general rationale for public support of research and specific reasons for support of particular research areas are of potential concern to many people. Those directly concerned with research ·funding and its rationale, for example, range from legislators to research administrators, scientists and graduate students. Public support of specific research areas is often defended for socio~polit~ ical and economic reasons. As an example, although private-sector research in forestry is conducted by large, diversified firms, the benefits of even highly applied research can be difficult to capture. Public support is necessary in such cases, since social benefits exceed the benefits considered …

The Msu Student Chapter, Society Of American Foresters, Steven H. Bullard
Faculty Publications
Forestry students at Mississippi State are encouraged to participate in organizations that strengthen their sense of professionalism and point them toward continued development after graduation. The Student Chapter of the Society of American Foresters is one of those organizations. Forestry students who take part in its activities are aided in developing communication and leadership skills that are difficult to learn in a classroom. Forestry is not just trees. Forestry students deal with the biology of the forest and the economics of timber. They learn how to use these tools to achieve a forest landowner's objectives. Foresters not only make decisions-they …
Wilderness And Natural Areas In The Eastern United States: A Management Challenge, David Kulhavy, Richard N. Conner
Wilderness And Natural Areas In The Eastern United States: A Management Challenge, David Kulhavy, Richard N. Conner
Faculty Publications
"The purpose of this symposium is not to debate either the concept of wilderness or the amount of wilderness appropriate for the United States. These are not debatable issues for present purposes. The Congress has spoken twice. The Wilderness Act of 1964 (PL 88-577) and the amendments of 1975, known as the "Eastern Wilderness Act" (PL 93-622), both set-aside existing areas as wilderness and established procedures for consideration of additions to the wilderness system. The purpose of this symposium is to consider the management of wilderness areas over time. In a very real sense, if those areas established as wilderness …

Fusiform Rust Trends In East Texas, Ellis V. Hunt Jr., J. David Lenhart
Fusiform Rust Trends In East Texas, Ellis V. Hunt Jr., J. David Lenhart
Faculty Publications
Four surveys of pine plantations in East Texas between 1969 and 1984 indicate that fusiform rust (Cronartium quercuum (Berk.) Miyabe ex Shirai f. sp. fusiforme) infection rates are increasing on slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm. var. elliottii) and either decreasing or about constant on loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.). Currently, stem infections occur on about 1 in 2 slash pines and 1 in 14 loblolly pines. South. J. Appl. For. 10:215-216, Nov. 1986.

Most foresters and forest landowners are aware that money has a time value. A dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow. If you borrow $1,000 from the bank today, you would have to pay back more than $1,000 in 90 days. The term forest economists use for this concept is the t :!me value of money: the closer to today you receive a sum of money, the greater its present value.
