Stewart and Terry R. Finger School of Forestry, Fisheries and Wildlife 112 Stephens Hall University of Missouri-Columbia Columbia, Missouri 65211 Abstract: Die! activity patterns of larval, juvenile and small adult fishes in a variety of lowland hardwood wetland habitats were assessed by comparing day and night catches from activity traps. Juvenile and adult Fundulus notti, juvenile and adult Gambusia affinis, juvenile Esox americanus, juvenile Centrarchus macropterus and juvenile Micropterus salmoides were predominantly day­ active. Juvenile Ictalurus nebu/osus and larval and juvenile E/assoma zonatum were primarily night-active. Only adult E. zonatum exhibited any change in die! activity pattern across seasons and habitats. In seasonally flooded habitats adult E. zonatum were night-active in late winter before spawning, but became primarily day-active during the spawning season. In semipermanently flooded habitats adult E. zonatum were predominantly day-active throughout the sampling period. Key Words: fishes, early life history, lowland hardwood wetlands, die! activity, Elassoma zonatum Introduction The inundation forests of temperate lowland hardwood wetlands are widely believed to be important spawning, nursery and foraging habitats for many fishes (Lambou 1959, Pardue et al. 1975, Bryan et al. 1976, Hall 1979). However, little detailed information exists on the spatiotemporal distribution of fishes within these seasonally and semipermanently flooded habitats. As part of a study designed to document fish use of lowland hardwood wetlands, we sampled larval, juvenile and small adult fishes with activity traps during both day and night periods. Because fish capture in activity traps requires active fish movement, comparison of day and night capture rates provides an assessment of die! variation in fish activity patterns. In this paper we document these patterns for several life history stages of fishes that utilize lowland hardwood inundation forests. Methods This study was conducted at Mingo National Wildlife Refuge and adjacent Duck Creek Wildlife Management Area in southeastern Missouri from mid-April to early August in 1981 and from late February to early August in 1982. Two seasonally flooded sites (inundated 1-6 mo/yr) and two semipermanently flooded sites (continuously inundated in most years) were sampled. Detailed descriptions of sampled habitats, as well as analyses of annual variation in species abundances and habitat-specific use patterns are in Stewart (1983) and Finger and Stewart (in press). Because no fishes except adult E/assoma zonatum exhibited differences in die! activity patterns across habitats, seasons or years, all samples were pooled for most analyses herein. 8 Transactions, Missouri Academy of Science Vol. 19 5 b c 4 SEASONAl 3 DAY 2 cpue 0 I I 2 I NIGHT I 3 I 4 I : 1 6.2I 5 9.4 IF I M A M 3 SEMIPERMANENT DAY 2 cpue o NIGHT 1 Fig. 1.

  • (Heteroptera: Miridae) A
    251 CHROMOSOME NUMBERS OF SOME NORTH AMERICAN MIRIDS (HETEROPTERA: MIRIDAE) A. E. AKINGBOHUNGBE Department of Plant Science University of Ife lie-Ife, Nigeria Data are presented on the chromosome numbers (2n) of some eighty species of Miridae. The new information is combined with existing data on some Palearctic and Ethiopian species and discussed. From it, it is suggested that continued reference to 2n - 32A + X + Y as basic mirid karyotype should be avoided and that contrary to earlier suggestions, agmatoploidy rather than poly- ploidy is a more probable mechanism of numerical chromosomal change. Introduction Leston (1957) and Southwood and Leston (1959) gave an account of the available information on chromosome numbers in the Miridae. These works pro- vided the first indication that the subfamilies may show some modalities that might be useful in phylogenetic analysis in the family. Kumar (1971) also gave an ac- count of the karyotype in some six West African cocoa bryocorines. In the present paper, data will be provided on 80 North American mirids, raising to about 131, the number of mirids for which the chromosome numbers are known. Materials and Methods Adult males were collected during the summer of 1970-1972 in Wisconsin and dissected soon after in 0.6% saline solution. The dissected testes were preserved in 3 parts isopropanol: 1 part glacial acetic acid and stored in a referigerator until ready for squashing. Testis squashes were made using Belling's iron-acetocarmine tech- nique as reviewed by Smith (1943) and slides were ringed with either Bennett's zut or Sanford's rubber cement.

  • Heteroptera: Miridae): New Species, New Combinations, and Additional Distribution Records DAN A
    PAN-PACIFIC ENTOMOLOGIST 61(2), 1985, pp. 146-151 A Review of Dichaetocoris Knight (Heteroptera: Miridae): New Species, New Combinations, and Additional Distribution Records DAN A. POLHEMUS Department of Biology, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah 84112. The genus Dichaetocoris was proposed by Knight (1968) to contain twelve species of Orthotylinae from the western United States. My studies reveal that four species presently in the genus are not congeneric with D. pinicola Knight, the type species of Dichaetocoris, while a species presently in Orthotylus, 0. piceicola Knight, should be transferred to Dichaetocoris. In this paper the following new combinations are proposed: D. stanleyaea Knight = Melanotrichus stanle- yaea (Knight), D. brevirostris Knight = Melanotrichus knighti Polhemus, D. sym- phoricarpi Knight = Melanotrichus symphoricarpi (Knight), D. peregrinus (Van Duzee) = Parthenicus peregrinus (Van Duzee), and Orthotylus piceicola Knight = D. piceicola (Knight). Two new species, D. geronimo and Df mojave, are described from Arizona and Nevada respectively, and distributional records are noted for D. pinicola Knight, D. merinoi Knight, Df coloradensis Knight, D. nevadensis Knight, and D. spinosus (Knight). Generic concepts in the western Orthotylini are in serious need of revision, a project beyond the scope of the present paper. As construed here, the genus Dichaetocoris may be distinguished by the presence of two types of simple re- cumbent pubescence on the dorsum, a lack ofsexual dimorphism, and restriction to coniferous hosts. The closely allied genus Melanotrichus possesses flattened silvery hairs on the dorsum, exhibits weak sexual dimorphism in which the females are frequently shorter and broader than the males, and occurs on a variety ofnon- coniferous hosts.

LIST OF INSECT TYPE SPECIMENS IN THE ENTOMOLOGICAE COLLECTION OF THE BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY. PROVO. UTAH. NO. IV. Vasco M. Tanner' and Don R. Harris- There is a tendency at present in the biological sciences to shy away from systematics in favor of molecular biolof^ical studies. The Linnaoan system of dealing with the multitudinous forms of aiumate nature is being seriously questioned. Today, biologists are concerned with the synthesis of the living environment at levels of organiza- tion such as the "biota, community, population, organism, cell, and molecule."' No doubt emphasis in this line of endeavor will prove to be revealing as to the similarity and unity of organisms. As ad- vancements are made in this new approach to understanding the basic makeup of organisms, their similarity and life processes, there will still be a need for recognizing the great diversity of life forms.

JROESCHNE,RD SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 407 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.
