Annotated Checklist Of Mammals Of The Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. I. Chiroptera, J. Knox Jones Jr., James Dale Smith, Hugh H. Genoways

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

Our field investigations on the Yucatán Peninsula were initiated in the summer of 1962 when two field parties from the Museum of Natural History at the University of Kansas visited the area. One field party consisted of W.E. Duellman and six students enrolled in a summer field course in vertebrate zoology; the other party was composed of the senior author and four students who were conducting a survey of Middle American terrestrial vertebrates and their ectoparasites. Some of the data relative to ectoparasites obtained during this study have appeared in the publications of Emerson (1971), Kohls et al. (1965), Loomis …

Racial Composition Of Migrant Populations Of Sandhill Cranes In The Northern Plains States, Douglas H. Johnson, Robert E. Stewart

United States Geological Survey, Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center: Publications

During recent years, there has been increasing pressure to expand hunting seasons on Sandhill Cranes (Grus canadensis) in the northern plains states. Hunters desire to take advantage of the opportunity presented by the sizable flocks of this large bird in this area. Prior to passage of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act in 1918, the Sandhill Crane was hunted and considered to have high sporting and eating qualities. In addition, complaints have been received from farmers regarding grain crop depredations by cranes. It has been suggested (Boeker et al., 1961:16) that flocks of cranes would be more widely dispersed …

Ecological Distribution Of Breeding Waterfowl Populations In North Dakota, Robert E. Stewart, Harold A. Kantrud

United States Geological Survey, Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center: Publications

The distribution of breeding waterfowl populations on various wetland habitat types was investigated in North Dakota during 1967-69. Data were obtained by stratified random sampling techniques. The total wetland acreage in North Dakota was estimated to be about 3.2 million acres. Natural basin wetlands comprised about 77 percent of the acreage and 91 percent of the number of wetlands in the state and were utilized by about 76 percent of the state's breeding duck population. Among the four biotic regions of the state, numerical and areal composition of wetlands varied considerably. Natural basin wetlands varied from a low of about …

Population Estimates Of Breeding Birds In North Dakota, Robert E. Stewart, Harold A. Kantrud

United States Geological Survey, Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center: Publications

Reasonably accurate measurements of breeding bird populations on large land areas are needed if the overall effects of man's impact on the environment are to be measured and understood. Through use of these data, we will be able to detect the average response of these populations to generalized environmental changes caused by diverse and widespread land-use practices. As this kind of information becomes available, it will serve as the basis for developing appropriate management programs for the purpose of maintaining or increasing breeding bird populations.
