NEITHER THE ORGANIZERS, NOR THE UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA FAIRBANKS, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST OR STOLEN ITEMS. Please be aware that in order to consume alcoholic beverages at any event at which alcohol is served, you must be 21 years of age or older and be prepared to show identification. Fairbanks Environment Day length: There are about 20 hours of possible sunlight in mid-June (sun up at 0400 and down at midnight) and, if it is not cloudy, there will be daylight all night. You may find sleeping more comfortable if you have eyeshades. Remember – just because it is not dark out doesn't mean that it is not time to get some sleep. In addition, while the sunlight is not as intense as lower latitudes, continual exposure in our long days can quickly bring on sunburn. Remember to pack lotion or clothing to cover up! Mosquitoes: Mosquitoes will probably be in good supply, though not bad on campus. Elsewhere in Fairbanks, you may want to carry mosquito repellant with you. Wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants is recommended. Aridity: Fairbanks, Alaska, is very dry. Make sure you drink plenty of water. Temperature: Be prepared for a range of temperatures at this time of year. You can expect a range of about 45–75° F, (7-24 °C) but the record high was 91°F (33 °C) and record low was 30° F (-1 °C). HEALTH and MEDICAL NEEDS There are two walk-in medical facilities in Fairbanks: Fairbanks Urgent Care Center 452-2178 weekdays 0700–2100 1867 Airport Way, Suite 130B weekends 1000–1900 Tanana Valley Clinic 1st Care 458-2682 daily 0800–2000 1001 Noble Street ATM Machines on campus Wood Center (available during Wood Center hours) Hess Commons, near the Housing Office (available 24 hours) Banking Spirit of Alaska Federal Credit Union located in the Wood Center: Hours 1100–1600 weekdays.

Ctra. de Colmenar, Km15. 28049 Madrid. RESUMEN En los micromamíferos el grado de territorialidad puede ser muy diferente entre sexos, dando lu- gar a una elevada variabilidad en los sistemas de organización espacial que no sólo se manifiesta a nivel interespecífico, sino que también se da a nivel intraespecífico, tanto entre poblaciones de una misma especie como en una misma población a lo largo del tiempo, en función de las condiciones locales ambientales y sociales. Teniendo en cuenta este escenario de alta plasticidad fenotípica de los patrones de organización social en microtinos, el propósito de este trabajo es estudiar el patrón espacial del topillo nival Chionomys nivalis (Martins, 1842) en dos colonias de estudio, situadas respectivamente en Sierra Nevada (Andalucía) y en Peñalara (Madrid). El área de campeo del topi- llo nival se analizó mediante técnicas de radioseguimiento desarrolladas en agosto de 2005 (Sierra Nevada) y agosto de 2006 (Peñalara). La estima de las áreas de campeo se ha hecho mediante el método de kernels, pues fue el que mostró un mejor ajuste a la distribución de las localizaciones de cada animal. En ambas localidades se observa un clara segregación espacial de los individuos con un grado variable de solapamiento de sus áreas de campeo.

Golenishchev & Vladimir G. Malikov ABSTRACT. According to the recent data on molecular genetics and comparative genomics of the grey voles of the tribe Microtini it is supposed, that their Nearctic and Palearctic groups had independently originated from different lineages of the extinct genus Mimomys. Nevertheless, that tribe is considered as a natural taxon. The American narrow-skulled voles are referred to a new taxon, Vocalomys subgen. nov.

Fungi, lichens, and mosses may be eaten, but mall mammals are a ubiquitous, but less obvious, component of the herbivore com­ appear to be minor components of the diet (Grodzinski 1971, Maser eta!. 1978, Pastor et Smunity in the boreal forest. Small mammals are defined as those <100 g and gener­ a!. 1996). Finally, virtually all predators eat Microtus spp. and Clethrionomys, and thus ally represent <4% of the herbivore biomass in the Kluane Lake ecosystem. Across the small rodents may play a significant ecosystem role in influencing the dynamics of the boreal forest of North America, there are three main genera of cricetids. There are two predators. species of the genus Clethrionomys, with the northern red-backed vole (C. rutilus) occu­ pying the forests approximately north of 60° latitude (Martell and Fuller 1979, West 1982, 10.2 Community Interactions and Factors Affecting Gilbert and Krebs 1991) and the southern red-backed vole (C. gapperi), occupying the Population Dynamics rest (Grant 1976, Fuller 1985, Vickery eta!. 1989). The deer mouse, Peromyscus mani­ culatus, is present throughout most of the boreal forest region (though in the Kluane area Two major peaks in Clethrionomys have occurred in the last 20 years, one in 1973 and it is nearing the northern limit of its range).

  • The Bachelors' NRHS Convention Adventure, Pt. 2
    BSRA Entertainment Report for October 3, 2015 LONG FORM (for historical record) Entertainment Report for October 3, 2015 October 3, 2015. The Bachelder's NRHS Convention Adventure Part 2. Leonard and Nancy Bachelder attended the 2013 NRHS convention in Alaska, making a 6-week trip through Canada and Alaska, of which we saw part 1 in March. Part 2 picked up as Len and Nancy rode in a 15 passenger van from the Yukon Territory into Alaska. The first photo was of the customs house at Poker Creek, Alaska, the most northerly land border port in the USA. Then we saw Chicken, Alaska, once somewhat populous as a Gold Rush town, but now of estimated population 10 to 20 (7 according to the US Census of 2010); it was supposed to be named Ptarmigan, but people could not agree on the spelling, so the US Post Office had good reason to believe that people in general would not be able to spell the proposed name, and refused to accept it; thus, the town wound up with its current name. Gold mining still takes place in the surrounding area, but the population of Chicken is occupied with operating the town as a tourist trap. Next stop was Fairbanks, with still over a week before the convention, so Len and Nancy went to the University of Alaska, where they found out about removal of Aleutian Islanders during World War II. We also saw a monument in downtown Fairbanks to American pilots who brought airplanes to Fairbanks for Russian pilots to pick up for use during World War II.
