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.

Biodiversitas 21: 1196-1200. Fish is an important foodstuff due to its nutritional value and high protein. One of popular fish as a foodstuff in tropical Asia is giant snakehead fish (Channa micropeltes). This study aims to examine the proximate composition, amino acid profile, and albumin concentration of giant snakeheads in various weights and to determine the best weight of giant snakeheads according to the proximate, amino acid, and albumin concentration.

United States Fish & Wildlife Service - USFWS Texas Parks and Wildlife Department - TPWD Southwest Texas State University - SWTSU Edwards Aquifer - Spring Species San Marcos Salamander a <a (Eurycea nana) The San Marcos salamander is a member of the lungless salamander family. It is a neotenic fonn, meaning that, unlike most salamanders, it maintains external gills even in the adult, sexually-mature stage of its life cycle. In addition, it does not leave the water to metamorphose into a terrestrial fonn; but becomes sexually mature and breeds in the water. It is listed by USFWS and TPWD as threatened. Description The San Marcos salamander is small (about two inches long), light brown with yellowish flecks, and has large eyes with a dark ring around the lens. It has well developed and highly pigmented gills, short narrow limbs, and a slender tail with a well developed dorsal fin. The sala­ mander is capable of altering its dorsal coloration from light tan to dark brown in conformity with the color of the substrate.

  • Endangered Species
    FEATURE: ENDANGERED SPECIES Conservation Status of Imperiled North American Freshwater and Diadromous Fishes ABSTRACT: This is the third compilation of imperiled (i.e., endangered, threatened, vulnerable) plus extinct freshwater and diadromous fishes of North America prepared by the American Fisheries Society’s Endangered Species Committee. Since the last revision in 1989, imperilment of inland fishes has increased substantially. This list includes 700 extant taxa representing 133 genera and 36 families, a 92% increase over the 364 listed in 1989. The increase reflects the addition of distinct populations, previously non-imperiled fishes, and recently described or discovered taxa. Approximately 39% of described fish species of the continent are imperiled. There are 230 vulnerable, 190 threatened, and 280 endangered extant taxa, and 61 taxa presumed extinct or extirpated from nature. Of those that were imperiled in 1989, most (89%) are the same or worse in conservation status; only 6% have improved in status, and 5% were delisted for various reasons. Habitat degradation and nonindigenous species are the main threats to at-risk fishes, many of which are restricted to small ranges. Documenting the diversity and status of rare fishes is a critical step in identifying and implementing appropriate actions necessary for their protection and management. Howard L.

    Megan L. Porter – Subterranean biogeography: what have we learned from molecular techniques? Journal of Cave and Karst Studies, v. 69, no. 1, p. 179–186. SUBTERRANEAN BIOGEOGRAPHY: WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED FROM MOLECULAR TECHNIQUES? MEGAN L. PORTER Department of Biological Sciences, University of Maryland Baltimore County, Baltimore, MD 21250 USA Abstract: Subterranean faunas have unique distributional attributes, including relatively small ranges and high levels of endemism. Two general models have been proposed to account for these distributional patterns–vicariance, the isolation of populations due to geographic barriers, and dispersal, an organism’s ability to move to and colonize new habitats. The debate over the relative importance of each of these models in subterranean systems is ongoing. More recently, biogeographical studies of subterranean fauna using molecular methods have provided new perspectives into the distributional patterns of hypogean fauna, reinvigorating the vicariance versus dispersal debate. This review focuses on the application of molecular techniques to the study of subterranean biogeography, and particularly the contribution of molecular methods in estimating dispersal ability and divergence times. So far, molecular studies of subterranean biogeography have found evidence for the common occurrence of multiple independent colonizations of the subterranean habitat in cave-adapted species, have emphasized the importance of the genetic structure of the ancestral surface populations in determining the genetic structure of subsequent hypogean forms, and have stressed the importance of vicariance or a mixed model including both vicariant and dispersal events. INTRODUCTION adapted fauna, beginning as early as the late 1800s (Packard, 1888). The crux of the debate has been over Cave-adapted fauna have intrigued scientists for centu- the relative roles of different biogeographic models, ries.

The combined rivers drain 11,615 square miles or, roughly, one-fifth of the area of the state. The Iowa River, which has its source in Crystal Lake, in Han­ cock County, flows southeast for a distance of 329 miles and has a 685-foot fall from source to mouth.
