    University of Nebraska - Lincoln DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln The Prairie Naturalist Great Plains Natural Science Society 6-2007 Occurrences of Small Mammal Species in a Mixedgrass Prairie in Northwestern North Dakota, Robert K. Murphy Richard A. Sweitzer John D. Albertson Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/tpn Part of the Biodiversity Commons, Botany Commons, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Commons, Natural Resources and Conservation Commons, Systems Biology Commons, and the Weed Science Commons This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Great Plains Natural Science Society at DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. It has been accepted for inclusion in The Prairie Naturalist by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. NOTES OCCURRENCES OF SMALL MAMMAL SPECIES IN A MIXED-GRASS PRAIRIE IN NORTHWESTERN NORTH DAKOTA -- Documentation is limited for many species of vertebrates in the northern Great Plains, particularly northwestern North Dakota (Bailey 1926, Hall 1981). Here we report relative abundances of small « 450 g) species of mammals that were captured incidental to surveys of amphibians and reptiles at Lostwood National Wildlife Refuge (LNWR) in northwestern North Dakota from 1985 to 1987 and 1999 to 2000. Our records include a modest range extension for one species. We also comment on relationships of small mammals on the refuge to vegetation changes associated with fire and grazing disturbances. LNWR encompassed 109 km2 of rolling to hilly moraine in Burke and Mountrail counties, North Dakota (48°37'N; 102°27'W). The area was mostly a native needlegrass-wheatgrass prairie (Stipa-Agropyron; Coupland 1950) inter­ spersed with numerous wetlands 'x = 40 basins/km2) and patches of quaking aspen trees (Populus tremuloides; x = 0.4 ha/patch and 4.8 patches/km2; 1985 data in Murphy 1993:23), with a semi-arid climate.

Published June 8, 1969 Price for this issue $.90 THE MAMMAL FAUNA OF SCHULZE CAVE, EDWARDS COUNTY, TEXAS WALTER W. DALQUEST, EDWARD ROTH, AND FRANK JUDD SYNOPSIS: Vertebrate remains from two levels in Schulze Cave, Edwards County, Texas, are analyzed. The younger materials probably date from ca. 5,000 B.P. to 8,800 B.P. The fauna is essentially modern, but the absence of the armadillo collared peccary, ringtail, and rock squirrel is thought to be significant. The older materials probably date from ca. 11,000 B.P. to 8;000 B.P. The mam- malian fauna of these Pleistocene sediments includes 62 species, of which 8 are extinct, 19 are not now regident on the Edwards Plateau, and 40 still live in the general area of the cave. Three species have not previously been reported from Pleistocene deposits in Texas: vagrant shrew, eastern chipmunk, and western jumping mouse.

  • Northern Short−Tailed Shrew (Blarina Brevicauda)
    FIELD GUIDE TO NORTH AMERICAN MAMMALS Northern Short−tailed Shrew (Blarina brevicauda) ORDER: Insectivora FAMILY: Soricidae Blarina sp. − summer coat Credit: painting by Nancy Halliday from Kays and Wilson's Northern Short−tailed Shrews have poisonous saliva. This enables Mammals of North America, © Princeton University Press them to kill mice and larger prey and paralyze invertebrates such as (2002) snails and store them alive for later eating. The shrews have very limited vision, and rely on a kind of echolocation, a series of ultrasonic "clicks," to make their way around the tunnels and burrows they dig. They nest underground, lining their nests with vegetation and sometimes with fur. They do not hibernate. Their day is organized around highly active periods lasting about 4.5 minutes, followed by rest periods that last, on average, 24 minutes. Population densities can fluctuate greatly from year to year and even crash, requiring several years to recover. Winter mortality can be as high as 90 percent in some areas. Fossils of this species are known from the Pliocene, and fossils representing other, extinct species of the genus Blarina are even older. Also known as: Short−tailed Shrew, Mole Shrew Sexual Dimorphism: Males may be slightly larger than females. Length: Range: 118−139 mm Weight: Range: 18−30 g http://www.mnh.si.edu/mna 1 FIELD GUIDE TO NORTH AMERICAN MAMMALS Least Shrew (Cryptotis parva) ORDER: Insectivora FAMILY: Soricidae Least Shrews have a repertoire of tiny calls, audible to human ears up to a distance of only 20 inches or so. Nests are of leaves or grasses in some hidden place, such as on the ground under a cabbage palm leaf or in brush.

This version has had substantial revision in content and form. First printing - 1985 Second printing (rev.) - 1987 Third revision - 2001 Fourth revision - 2003 Fifth revision - 2005 Sixth revision - December 2005 Seventh revision - November 2006 Eighth revision - September 2007 Ninth revision - April 2010 Tenth revision – February 2019 Page 2 of 30 Introduction The following list of amphibians (34 species), reptiles (38), birds (474) and mammals (93) indicates those vertebrate species believed to be part of the fauna of New York and the present legal status of these species in New York State. Common and scientific nomenclature is as according to: Crother (2008) for amphibians and reptiles; the American Ornithologists' Union (1983 and 2009) for birds; and Wilson and Reeder (2005) for mammals. Expected occurrence in New York State is based on: Conant and Collins (1991) for amphibians and reptiles; Levine (1998) and the New York State Ornithological Association (2009) for birds; and New York State Museum records for terrestrial mammals.

    Self Guided Evening Tour Marsh Trail YOU ARE HERE Marsh Trail Discovery Centre in Parking Lot x Old Wildlife Centre - demolished in 2020 Bat Condo WELCOME TO THE MARSH TRAIL As you embark on the Marsh Trail you will have a good view of the wetlands of the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area (CVWMA). The CVWMA is a 17 000 acre wetland that is in- ternationally recognized as a Ramsar site and nationally as an Important Bird Area of Canada. The area supports an amazing amount of biodiversity. There are over 300 bird, close to 60 mam- mal, 17 fish, 6 reptile and 6 amphibian species that have been recorded in the area. Plus, there are thousands of invertebrate and plant species! Did you know? • Since 1800, 20 million hectares (~15%) of Canada’s wetlands have been filled in and lost to development. Near major cities and towns, 70% of wetlands have been lost. • When one hectare of wetlands is converted to agricultural land, between 1 and 19 tonnes of carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) are emitted to the atmosphere per year. • Most wildlife in the province use wetland habitat at some point in their life cycle. • Wetlands cover about 6% of the land in BC. • One hectare of wetland can store between 9 and 14 million liters of water. NORTH AMERICA’S LARGEST RODENT As you walk along the channel and make your way across the Beaver Boulevard Bridge, stop to admire the dams that our friendly neighborhood beaver has been hard at work creating. These semi-aquatic mammals are often referred to as ‘ecosys- tem engineers’ because of their dams.

    Activities based on the book Nature’s Patchwork Quilt - by Mary Miche’ Creating Nature Play Introduction In the book Nature’s Patchwork Quilt, author Mary Miche introduces children to a variety of habitats, from the forest to the ocean, and the rainforest to the arctic. In this activity children create a three-di- mensional diorama of one of the habitats from the book.
