Early Humboldt State University, Department of Wildlife, 1 Harpst Street, Arcata, CA, 95521 Toni Payne PO Box 178, Blanchard, OK 73010 A survey of The Nature Conservancy’s Four Canyon Preserve in Ellis County, Oklahoma, was conducted from June 2005 to April 2006 to determine what species of mammals occur in the preserve. Sherman live traps were used to trap small mammals and reliable sight records documented large mammals. Mist nets and gopher traps were set to sample for bats and gophers, respectively. A literature search identified historical accounts of mam- mals and those species that might eventually be found to occur in the preserve. Compiled in this inventory is an annotated list of the 33 extant species of mammals that presently occur on the Four Canyon Preserve. Also listed are 4 introduced species, 9 species that probably occurred in the preserve historically and 24 species that might be found to oc- cur. © 2010 Oklahoma Academy of Science.

    Occasional Papers Museum of Texas Tech University Number 265 21 December 2006 THE MAMMALS OF SAN ANGELO STATE PARK, TOM GREEN COUNTY, TEXAS JOEL G. BRANT, ROBERT C. DOWLER, AND CARLA E. EBELING ABSTRACT A survey of the mammalian fauna of San Angelo State Park, Tom Green County, Texas, began in April 1999 and includes data collected through November 2005. Thirty-one species of native mammals, representing 7 orders and 18 families, were verified at the state park. The mammalian fauna at the state park is composed primarily of western Edwards Plateau mam- mals, which include many Chihuahuan species, and mammals with widespread distributions. The most abundant species of small mammal at the state park were Neotoma micropus and Peromyscus maniculatus. The total trap success for this study (1.5%) was lower than expected and may reflect the drought conditions experienced in this area during the study period.

  • Peromyscus Newsletter
    PEROMYSCUS NEWSLETTER NUMBER THIRTY-EIGHT AUTUMN 2004 Cover: A Deer Mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus rufinus) with a striking "blazed" head pattern. See entry by Katy Mirowsky and Brian Hjelle pp. 22 this issue. PN 38 - This issue of PEROMYSCUS NEWSLETTER follows soon after the mailing of the triennial "Genetics and Genomics" issue, and includes correspondents' entries received earlier in 2004 that we did not have space for in that previous issue. And we thank those who kindly responded to our request for information about activities in their research programs. PN is published twice annually by the Peromyscus Genetic Stock Center at the University of South Carolina. Please notice that effective January 2005 that charges for many of our stocks and materials have been increased due to greater costs of maintenance and shipping. In this issue we report progress in developing a phylogenetic tree for peromyscine rodents. We intend the tree to serve as a useful reference for all with interest in any aspect of peromyscine biology, and not specifically for systematic and evolutionary biologists (See p. 7). The Stock Center had an excellent year in 2004 supplying a record number of animals and materials for research and education to institutions around the world. Stock Center utilization over the nineteen years of its existence in numbers of animals and specimens supplied is shown in the graph on page 7. The Stock Center also provides numerous animals and related materials for in-house research at the University of South Carolina. The Stock Center is funded by grants from NSF and NIH, user fees (sales), University in-house funds and donations.
