Mammalia: Rodentia) Around Amasya, Turkey

G-, C-, and Ag-NOR-banded patterns of this species are reported here for the fi rst time. In this study, 2 karyotypical forms were determined. Each form had the same diploid chromosome numbers (2n = 48), but possessed diff erent autosomal morphologies. For this reason, the samples collected from the research area were karyologically separated into 2 groups, cytotype-1 (NF = 50) and cytotype-2 (NF = 52). All chromosomes possessed centromeric/pericentromeric heterochromatin bands in both karyotypical forms. It was shown that the acrocentric chromosomes of pair 8 in cytotype-1 have been transformed into metacentric chromosomes in cytotype-2 through pericentric inversion. Variation in the number of active NORs was also observed, but the modal number of active NORs was 8. Due to the chromosomal variation found in M. dogramacii, the cytogenetic results presented in this study may represent a process of chromosomal speciation.

Wright1,2 ABSTRACT.—Distribution of the plains pocket mouse (Perognathus flavescens) overlaps tallgrass prairies in northeastern parts of the species’ range in the central United States. Distribution and abundance of the plains pocket mouse appears negatively impacted by agricultural practices during the last century due to the scarcity of records throughout the region. In eastern Nebraska, few plains pocket mice have been captured and no published account exists in recent decades. -

Ecological Niche Evolution and Its Relation To

The level of niche divergence was found to be positively correlated with the level of genetic divergence and negatively correlated with the level of differences in position of geographic ranges of species and intraspecifi c forms. Frequency of different types of niche evolution (divergence, convergence, equivalence) was found to depend on genetic and geographic relations of compared forms. Among the latter with allopatric distribution, divergence was less frequent and convergence more frequent between intra-specifi c genetic lineages than between either clo sely-related or distant species. Among the forms with parapatric dis- tri bution, frequency of divergence gradually increased and frequencies of both convergence and equivalence gradually decreased from intra-specifi c genetic lineages via closely related to distant species. Among species with allopatric distribution, frequencies of niche divergence, con vergence and equivalence in closely related and distant species were si milar. The results obtained allowed suggesting that the main direction of the niche evolution was their divergence that gradually increased with ti me since population split. -

Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks.

Mammals at Navajo National Monument
Final Report for 2003 and 2004 Mammal Inventories on Selected National Park Service Southern Colorado Plateau Network Parks: Navajo National Monument January 2005 Prepared by: Shauna Haymond, Holistic Wildlife Services NM, LLC, 112 Hampton Roads Avenue, Hampton, Virginia 23661, and Richard E. Sherwin, Department of Biology, Chemistry and Environmental Science, Christopher Newport University, 1 University Place, Newport News, Virginia 23606-2998 Submitted to: Navajo Nation Department of Fish and Wildlife, P. O. Box 1480, Window Rock, AZ 96515 ABSTRACT Holistic Wildlife Services NM was contracted by the Navajo Nation Department of Fish and Wildlife to conduct biological inventories for mammals at Navajo National Monument (NAVA) as part of the National Park Service Inventory and Monitoring Program. The goals of this study were to document at least 90% of the mammals using verifiable documentation and taxa-specific field surveys, provide distributional information, estimates of species richness, and relative abundance of mammals, and provide baseline information and make recommendations to develop future management and monitoring schemes of zoological resources. There had been no baseline mammal work conducted at NAVA prior to these surveys. A total of 26 mammal species were estimated to inhabit the park based on species-area models; however we estimated 51 species for NAVA based on known specific ranges and available museum records. Field inventories extended from 29 June to 29 September 2003, and 16 May to 5 July 2004. We used a variety of survey methods including live-trapping, mist netting and acoustic surveys for bats, track-scat surveys, and opportunistic observations. We documented a total of 41 species (Chiroptera, 12 species; Lagomorpha, 2 species; Rodentia, 18 species; Carnivora, 8 species; and Artiodactyla, 1 species). -
