  • Estimating Spawning Times of Alligator Gar (Atractosteus Spatula) in Lake Texoma, Oklahoma
    46 Estimating Spawning Times of Alligator Gar (Atractosteus spatula) in Lake Texoma, Oklahoma Richard A. Snow Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, Oklahoma Fishery Research Laboratory, Norman, OK 73072 James M. Long U.S. Geological Survey Oklahoma Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK 74078 Abstract: In 2013, juvenile Alligator Gar were sampled in the reservoir-river interface of the Red River arm of Lake Texoma. The Red River, which flows 860 km along Oklahoma’s border with Texas, is the primary in-flow source of Lake Texoma, and is impounded by Denison Dam. Mini- fyke nets were deployed using an adaptive random cluster sampling design, which has been used to effectively sample rare species. Lapilli otoliths (one of the three pair of ear stones found within the inner ear of fish) were removed from juvenile Alligator Gar collected in July of 2013. Daily ages were estimated by counting the number of rings present, and spawn dates were back-calculated from date of capture and subtracting 8 days (3 days from spawn to hatch and 5 days from hatch to swim- up when the first ring forms). Alligator Gar daily age estimation ranged from 50 to 63 days old since swim-up. Spawn dates corresponded to rising pool elevations of Lake Texoma and water pulses of tributaries. ©2015 Oklahoma Academy of Science Introduction In its native range, Alligator Gar spawns from early April through the middle of June The Alligator Gar (Atractosteus spatula) is in conjunction with seasonal flooding events the largest freshwater fish species in Oklahoma (Etnier and Starnes 1993, Ferrara 2001, Inebnit and the third largest in North America (Page and 2009).

Few visitors are aware of the important paleontological resources that occur in the park. During the summer of 2016, a comprehensive field inventory of paleontological resources within CHIC was conducted. The inventory process involved primary literature research, an extensive field survey of fossiliferous units, and inventories of collections and repositories. The field survey yielded eight new fossiliferous localities, and eight previously undocumented taxa within CHIC. This is the first discovery of fossils in the Deese Group and Sycamore Limestone within the recreation area. During the 2016 inventory, fossils were documented at all previously known localities within CHIC, except for those localities now submerged under the Lake of the Arbuckles. Collections were made of the representative fauna found within CHIC, and 73 fossil specimens were accessioned into museum collections.

  • Literature on the Vegetation of Oklahoma! RALPH W· KELTING, Unberlltj of Tulia, Tulia Add WJL T
    126 PROCEEDINGS OF THE OKLAHOMA Literature on the Vegetation of Oklahoma! RALPH W· KELTING, UnberlltJ of Tulia, Tulia aDd WJL T. PENFOUND, UnlYenlty of Oklahoma, Norman The original stimulus tor this bibliographic compilation on the vegeta­ tion of Oklahoma came from Dr. Frank Egler, Norfolk, Connecticut, who is sponsoring a series ot such papers for aU the states of the country. Oklahoma is especially favorable for the study· of vegetation since it is a border state between the cold temperate North and the warm temperature South, and between the arid West and the humid East. In recognition of the above climatic differences, the state has been divided into seven sec­ tions. The parallel of 35 degrees, 30 minutes North Latitude has been utiUzed to divide the state into northern and southern portions. The state has been further divided into panhandle, western, central, and eastern sections, by the use of the following meridians: 96 degrees W., 98 degrees ·W., and 100 degrees W. In all cases, county lines have been followed so that counties would not be partitioned between two or more sections. The seven sections are as follows: Panhandle, PH; N9rthwest, NW; Southwest, SW; North Central, NC; South Central, SC; Northeast, NE; and Southeast, SE (Figure 1). The various sections of the state have unique topographic features ot interest to the student of vegetation. These sections and included topo­ graphic features are as tollows: Panhandle: Black Mesa, high plains, playas (wet weather ponds); Northwest: Antelope Ht1Is, Glass Mountains, gypsum hUls, sand desert, Waynoka Dunes, salt plains, Great Salt Plains Reservoir; Southwest: gypsum hills, Wichita Mountains, Altus-Lugert Reservoir; North Central: redbed plains, sandstone hills, prairie plains; South Central: redbed plains, sandstone hUls, Arbuckle Mountains, Lake Texoma; Northeast: Ozark Plateau, Grand Lake;.
