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.

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.

The crux of the debate has been over Cave-adapted fauna have intrigued scientists for centu- the relative roles of different biogeographic models, ries.

  • Life History Strategies, Population Regulation, and Implications for Fisheries Management1
    872 PERSPECTIVE / PERSPECTIVE Life history strategies, population regulation, and implications for fisheries management1 Kirk O. Winemiller Abstract: Life history theories attempt to explain the evolution of organism traits as adaptations to environmental vari- ation. A model involving three primary life history strategies (endpoints on a triangular surface) describes general pat- terns of variation more comprehensively than schemes that examine single traits or merely contrast fast versus slow life histories. It provides a general means to predict a priori the types of populations with high or low demographic resil- ience, production potential, and conformity to density-dependent regulation. Periodic (long-lived, high fecundity, high recruitment variation) and opportunistic (small, short-lived, high reproductive effort, high demographic resilience) strat- egies should conform poorly to models that assume density-dependent recruitment. Periodic-type species reveal greatest recruitment variation and compensatory reserve, but with poor conformity to stock–recruitment models. Equilibrium- type populations (low fecundity, large egg size, parental care) should conform better to assumptions of density- dependent recruitment, but have lower demographic resilience. The model’s predictions are explored relative to sustain- able harvest, endangered species conservation, supplemental stocking, and transferability of ecological indices. When detailed information is lacking, species ordination according to the triangular model provides qualitative

In this paper, I review the different clades of catfi shes, all catfi sh fami- lies, and provide information on some of the more interesting aspects of catfi sh biology that express the great diversity that is present in the order. I also discuss the results of the widely successful All Catfi sh Species Inventory Project. Introduction proximately 10.8% of all fi shes and 5.5% of all ver- tebrates are catfi shes. Renowned herpetologist and ecologist Archie Carr’s But would every one be able to identify the 1941 parody of dichotomous keys, A Subjective Key loricariid catfi sh Pseudancistrus pectegenitor as a to the Fishes of Alachua County, Florida, begins catfi sh (Figure 2A)? It does not have scales, but it with “Any damn fool knows a catfi sh.” Carr is right does have bony plates. It is very fl at, and its mouth but only in part. Catfi shes (the Siluriformes) occur has long jaws but could not be called large. There is on every continent (even fossils are known from a barbel, but you might not recognize it as one as it Antarctica; Figure 1); and the order is extremely is just a small extension of the lip. There are spines well supported by numerous complex synapomor- at the front of the dorsal and pectoral fi ns, but they phies (shared, derived characteristics; Fink and are not sharp like in the typical catfi sh.

MANAGEMENT OF CHANNEL CATFISH ICTALURUS PUNCTATUS IN THE MISSOURI RIVER, NEBRASKA By Brandon L. Eder A THESIS Presented to the Faculty of The Graduate College at the University of Nebraska In Partial Fulfillment of Requirements For the Degree of Master of Science Major: Natural Resource Sciences Under the Supervision of Professor Mark Pegg Lincoln, Nebraska December 2014 MANAGEMENT OF CHANNEL CATFISH ICTALURUS PUNCTATUS IN THE MISSOURI RIVER, NEBRASKA Brandon L. Eder, M.S. University of Nebraska, 2014 Adviser: Mark A. Pegg The popularity of catfish Ictaluridae nationally as a sport fish is well documented and angling for catfish on the Missouri River in Nebraska (NMR) is especially popular. Catfish monitoring program by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission (NGPC) began in 1974 and several short-term evaluations of Channel Catfish population dynamics have been performed.
