UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 282 A Revision of the Catfish Genus Noturus Rafinesque^ With an Analysis of Higher Groups in the Ictaluridae WILLIAM RALPH TAYLOR Associate Curator, Division of Fishes SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS CITY OF WASHINGTON 1969 IV Publications of the United States National Museum The scientific publications of the United States National Museum include two series, Proceedings of the United States National Museum and United States National Museum Bulletin. In these series are published original articles and monographs dealing with the collections and work of the Museum and setting forth newly acquired facts in the fields of anthropology, biology, geology, history, and technology. Copies of each publication are distributed to libraries and scientific organizations and to specialists and others interested in the various subjects. The Proceedings, begun in 1878, are intended for the publication, in separate form, of shorter papers. These are gathered in volumes, octavo in size, with the publication date of each paper recorded in the table of contents of the volume. In the Bulletin series, the first of which was issued in 1875, appear longer, separate publications consisting of monographs (occasionally in several parts) and volumes in which are collected works on related subjects. Bulletins are either octavo or quarto in size, depending on the needs of the presentation. Since 1902, papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum have been published in the Bulletin series under the heading Contributions from the United States National Herbarium. -
Pollinator Butterfly Habitat
The ecology and conservation of grassland butterflies in the central U.S. Dr. Ray Moranz Moranz Biological Consulting 4514 North Davis Court Stillwater, Oklahoma 74075 Outline of the Presentation, Part I • Basic butterfly biology • Butterflies as pollinators • Rare butterflies of Kansas Outline of the Presentation, Part 2 • Effects of fire and grazing on grassland butterflies • Resources to learn more about butterflies • 15 common KS butterflies Life Cycle of a Painted Lady, Vanessa cardui Egg Larva Adult Chrysalis Some butterflies migrate The Monarch is the best-known migratory butterfly Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site, North Dakota Fall migratory pathways of the Monarch The Painted Lady is another migrant Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico Other butterflies are non- migratory Such as this regal fritillary, seen in Anderson County, Kansas Implications of migratory status -migratory butterflies aren’t vulnerable to prescribed burns in winter and early spring (they haven’t arrived yet) -full-year resident butterflies ARE vulnerable to winter and spring fires -migratory butterflies may need lots of nectar sources on their flyway to fuel their flight Most butterfly caterpillars are host plant specialists Implications of host plant specialization • If you have the host plant, you probably have the butterfly • If you plant their host, the butterfly may follow • If you and your neighbors lack the host plants, you are unlikely to see the butterflies except during migration Butterflies as pollinators • Bees pollinate more plant -

Invertebrate Distribution and Diversity Assessment at the U. S. Army Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site A report to the U. S. Army and U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service G. J. Michels, Jr., J. L. Newton, H. L. Lindon, and J. A. Brazille Texas AgriLife Research 2301 Experiment Station Road Bushland, TX 79012 2008 Report Introductory Notes The invertebrate survey in 2008 presented an interesting challenge. Extremely dry conditions prevailed throughout most of the adult activity period for the invertebrates and grass fires occurred several times throughout the summer. By visual assessment, plant resources were scarce compared to last year, with few green plants and almost no flowering plants. Eight habitats and nine sites continued to be sampled in 2008. The Ponderosa pine/ yellow indiangrass site was removed from the study after the low numbers of species and individuals collected there in 2007. All other sites from the 2007 survey were included in the 2008 survey. We also discontinued the collection of Coccinellidae in the 2008 survey, as only 98 individuals from four species were collected in 2007. Pitfall and malaise trapping were continued in the same way as the 2007 survey. Sweep net sampling was discontinued to allow time for Asilidae and Orthoptera timed surveys consisting of direct collection of individuals with a net. These surveys were conducted in the same way as the time constrained butterfly (Papilionidea and Hesperoidea) surveys, with 15-minute intervals for each taxanomic group. This was sucessful when individuals were present, but the dry summer made it difficult to assess the utility of these techniques because of overall low abundance of insects. -

Removing Chinese Privet from Riparian Forests Still Benefits

Hudson a, , James L. Hanula b, Scott Horn b a University of Georgia, Department of Entomology, Athens, GA 30602, USA b U.S. Forest Service, Southern Research Station, Athens, GA 30602, USA article info abstract Article history: Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) is an invasive shrub of the Southeastern U.S. that forms dense stands Received 10 June 2013 and limits biodiversity. It was removed from heavily infested riparian forests of the Georgia Piedmont in Received in revised form 27 August 2013 2005 by mulching machine or chainsaw felling and subsequent herbicide application. Abundance and Accepted 1 September 2013 species richness of bees and butterflies were sampled using pan traps on removal plots, heavily invaded control plots, and reference plots in 2012, approximately five years after complete removal of privet. Removal plots had nearly three times as many species as control plots and were similar to reference plots Keywords: in numbers of species. Traps on removal plots captured four times more individuals than those on control Invasive plants plots and similar numbers to reference plots. Bee and butterfly abundance and richness were positively Chinese privet Long term correlated with non-privet plant cover, diversity, and evenness and negatively correlated with privet Pollinators shrub cover. Removing Chinese privet from riparian forests had a beneficial effect on insect pollinator Bees communities five years after removal and is a relatively simple method of improving pollinator habitat.
