Exploring at Night! in Honor of National Pollinator Week, Over 100 People Visited Ash Meadows for a Nocturnal Adventure This June
Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge CurrentsSummer 2012 Editors: Alyson Mack [email protected] 702-515-5496 Cyndi Souza [email protected] 775-372-5435 Exploring at Night! In honor of National Pollinator Week, over 100 people visited Ash Meadows for a nocturnal adventure this June. Everyone enjoyed some “bat fruit salad” while they waited for the event to begin. The salad is made with fruits pollinated and seed dispersed by bats: peaches, mangoes, dates, figs, and cashews. Upcoming Events: To start things off, Refuge biologist Cristi Baldino gave a fun and informative presentation on Art-in-Nature Day! bat basics. Kids learned about what bats are, how they hunt using echolocation, what to do if you Sunday, October 14, encounter a bat – and a myriad of other cool facts about bats! The group then hiked down the 10am-3pm boardwalk to search for some bats in the wild! Calling all artists! Join other local artists and display Participants learned how to use ANABAT detectors to pick up the sounds that bats make. Just your Ash Meadows inspired like birds, each bat makes a unique “call” that scientists can use to tell them apart. Using a special artwork. Ash Meadows is lush and computer program, GBI Resource Specialist Sam Skalak showed everyone how to analyze the green right now - early morning and evening bat sound waves, or sonograms, to determine their species and behavior. are great times to capture that perfect photo!

Mammal Watching in Northern Mexico Vladimir Dinets
Mammal watching in Northern Mexico Vladimir Dinets Seldom visited by mammal watchers, Northern Mexico is a fascinating part of the world with a diverse mammal fauna. In addition to its many endemics, many North American species are easier to see here than in USA, while some tropical ones can be seen in unusual habitats. I travelled there a lot (having lived just across the border for a few years), but only managed to visit a small fraction of the number of places worth exploring. Many generations of mammologists from USA and Mexico have worked there, but the knowledge of local mammals is still a bit sketchy, and new discoveries will certainly be made. All information below is from my trips in 2003-2005. The main roads are better and less traffic-choked than in other parts of the country, but the distances are greater, so any traveler should be mindful of fuel (expensive) and highway tolls (sometimes ridiculously high). In theory, toll roads (carretera quota) should be paralleled by free roads (carretera libre), but this isn’t always the case. Free roads are often narrow, winding, and full of traffic, but sometimes they are good for night drives (toll roads never are). All guidebooks to Mexico I’ve ever seen insist that driving at night is so dangerous, you might as well just kill yourself in advance to avoid the horror. In my experience, driving at night is usually safer, because there is less traffic, you see the headlights of upcoming cars before making the turn, and other drivers blink their lights to warn you of livestock on the road ahead.

An Investigation of Four Rare Snakes in South-Central Kansas
• AN INVESTIGATION OF FOUR RARE SNAKES IN SOUTH-CENTRAL KANSAS •• ·: ' ·- .. ··... LARRY MILLER 15 July 1987 • . -· • AN INVESTIGATION --OF ----FOUR ----RARE SNAKES IN SOUTH-CENTRAL KANSAS BY LARRY MILLER INTRODUCTION The New Mexico blind snake (Leptotyphlops dulcis dissectus), Texas night snake (Hypsiglena torqua jani), Texas longnose snake (Rhinocheilus lecontei tessellatus), and checkered garter snake (Thamnophis marcianus marcianus) are four Kansas snakes with a rather limited range in the state. Three of the four have only been found along the southern counties. Only the Texas longnose snake has been found north of the southern most Kansas counties. This project was designed to find out more about the range, habits, and population of these four species of snakes in Kansas. It called for a search of background information on each snake, the collection of new specimens, photographs of habitat, and the taking of notes in regard to the animals. The 24 Kansas counties covered in the investigation ranged from Cowley at the southeastern most • location to Morton at the southwestern most location to Hamilton, Kearny, Finney, and Hodgeman to the north. Most of the work centered around the Red Hills area and to the east of that area. See (Fig. 1) for counties covered. Most of the work on this project was done by me (Larry Miller). However, I was often assisted in the field by a number of other persons. They will be credited at the end of this report. METHODS A total of 19 trips were made by me between the dates of 28 March 1986 and 1 July 1987 in regard to this project.

Annual home-range and core-area sizes averaged 55 ha 6 8 SE and 8 6 1 ha for 10 adults of both sexes using the 95% and 50% fixed-kernel isopleths, respectively. Seasonal home ranges varied widely for adults, from 15 to 111 ha for females and from 24 to 166 ha for males. Juvenile males had larger seasonal home ranges than did juvenile females (X ¼ 80 and 24 ha). For adult jackrabbits, seasonal home ranges were larger during the 1st year compared to those of the 2nd year of study (X ¼ 87 and 49 ha), particularly for females.

E-mail: [email protected] (ACR) *Corresponding author Introduction: Lagomorphs (rabbits, hares, and pikas) are widely distributed in every continent of the world, except Antarctica. They include 91 species: 31 rabbits of the genera Brachylagus , Bunolagus , Caprolagus , Nesolagus , Pentalagus , Poelagus , Prolagus , Pronolagus , Romerolagus, and Sylvilagus ; 32 hares of the genus Lepus and 28 pikas of the genus Ochotona . According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN 2014), the list of threatened species of lagomorphs includes one extinct, three critically endangered, ten endangered, %ve near threatened, %ve vulnerable, 61 of least concern, and six with de%cient data. Although a rich diversity of lagomorphs and endemic species exists, some of the wild populations have been declining at an accelerated rate, product of human activities and climate change.
