A Surveyof the Insects of White Sands National Monument,Tularosa Basin, New Mexico' ClydeP. Stroud Universityof Chicago INTRODUCTION Most of the insectsreported here were collectedin and around White Sands National Monumentbetween June 5, 1947 and August 9, 1947. There are a fewrecords from collections made June20-21, 1946 and recordsof two species furnishedby othercollectors. A large numberof recordsof other arthropocswill be reportedin a subsequentpaper. The White Sands National Monumentis situatedin Tularosa Basin (Fig. 1), an area of internaldrainage bounded on the east and westby a seriesof faultranges and by relativelyhigh ground on the northand south. The chief depositof the basin is valleyfill. In additionto the White Sands, thereare severalother large areas of ecologicalimportance. West of the White Sands and adjacentto thatarea is a largesalt flat. At the south end of this flatis an intermittentsalt lake, Lake Lucero. North of the White Sands and not quite contiguouswith that area is the "malpais," a recentlava deposition. South of the White Sands and separatedfrom it by a distanceof about 20 miles is a large area of reddishsilica dunes. This dunes area surroundsthe low Jarillamountains and extendsinto the Hueco Basin to the south. The White Sands National Monument (Fig. 2) includesa part of an almostunique typeof habitat,consisting of dunes of finecrystalline gypsum, some as high as 50 feet,alternating with "flats" or level inter-dunalareas. The substrateof the southernpart of thisarea is composedalmost entirely of calciumsulfate. In the northernpart thereis much more admixtureof silica and othermaterials. The geologicalhistory of the White Sands deposithas been studiedby Vandiver (1936), Potter (1938) and others. Biotic conditionsin the White Sands are of great interest. Since Dice (1929, 1930) describedand discussedthe light-coloredrace of pocketmouse, Perognathusapache gypsi,which shows evidentcolor adaptationto the sub- strate,interest has been focusedon organismsshowing coloration adaptation. Benson (1933), Blair (1941, 1941a, 1943) and othershave contributedto our knowledgeof the mammalsof the area. Smith (1943) has describeda light-coloredsubspecies of lizard, Holbrookia maculata ruthvenifrom the White Sands. A whitetoad identifiedas Scaphiopus couchii has been re- ported,(Stroud 1949).

DESCRIPTION OF LOCALITIES In the presentstudy collections were made at nine sites inside the white dunes area and at thirteenlocalities outside of it. The locationscollected are indicatedin figures1 and 2. Figure 2 is an enlargementof the portionof figure1 inclosedby a rectangle. The locality"Loop Drive" is about ten milesfrom the monumententrance and is sevenmiles from the nearestfrontal dunes. The area is representative of the climaxof dune action. The flatsare largelycovered with gypsum and are almost entirelydevoid of vegetation. The most commonplant is sand bunchgrass, Oryzopsis hymenioides. The dunes are veryhigh and are quite active. The locality"Picnic Area" is fivemiles from the Loop Drive and the same distancefrom the area designated"Ridingers." It is an area of large active dunes but the averageconcentration of plantsin the flatsis greaterthln that foundin the Loop Drive area. Outstandingadditions to the floraare Yucca and Chrysothamnus.At twoplaces in the area thereare groupsof Populus. "Ridingers"is a site on the marginof the dunes area two miles south southwestof the monumententrance. Collectionswere made in the frontal dunes and for a distanceof about a mile into the dunes area. The frontal dunes are especiallyhigh above the surroundingdesert at this point. The floraof the extensiveflats and low dunes to the west of the frontaldunes consistsof a numberof speciesin additionto thosefound in the morecentral locations. Yucca, Tamarix,Ephedra, Chrysothamnus, and Rhus, are particu- larlyabundant. Considerablenumbers of pedestalsare foundhere, formed of packedgypsum under groups of plants,especially Rhus. The area near the "Entrance"to the White Sands National Monumentis verymuch like that at Ridingersand servedas a check on collectionsmade at the latterlocation. The stands of vegetationare approximatelyequal in the two areas. Small collectionswere made at points five,ten, and fifteenmiles west southwestof Ridingers. The dunes are low in these areas and are almost entirelystabilized by plants and by the admixtureof darkersoil, but there are scatteredactive dunes. 662 THE AMERICAN MIDLAND NATURALIST 44 (3) MO,JLMENT BSuA/D4 V _ A9.41~II ~ ~ i fL4JSFLflTS / O~~~~~~~0LooP.Dt,vE / l o PcNvic ARCA4t j | i~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~""4 AeDUNES ?r^ICLOWSW/ vE fcste ~~~~~~~~~~i / I 0/ ~~~~~~~~WeLL?x Fig. 2.-White Sands NationalMonument. Lake Lucero, about twentymiles westsouthwest of Ridingersis the rem- nant of the "old salt lake" whichonce occupied at least the entirearea of the present"Salt flats." The west side of Lake Lucero is ecologicallymuch differentfrom the White Sands area. There are no dunes and the dominant plant is Prosopis. The east side has manygypsum dunes and pedestals. The substrateis formedof much largercrystals than thatof the restof the White Sands dunes area. Collectionswere made in an area designated"Silica Dunes," about ten miles west of Tularosa. This is withinthe northernportion of the same dunes area found at White Sands, but here the soil is considerablydarker due to the admixtureof silica and othermaterials. The vegetationis much like thatat Ridingers,except for the additionof Prosop.s. KEY TO ABBREVIATIONS AND SYMBOLS Localities 11. Well No. 1, Baird's Ranch (Withinprincipal dunes area) 12.

L. Lindon, and J. A. Brazille Texas AgriLife Research 2301 Experiment Station Road Bushland, TX 79012 2008 Report Introductory Notes The invertebrate survey in 2008 presented an interesting challenge. Extremely dry conditions prevailed throughout most of the adult activity period for the invertebrates and grass fires occurred several times throughout the summer. By visual assessment, plant resources were scarce compared to last year, with few green plants and almost no flowering plants. Eight habitats and nine sites continued to be sampled in 2008. The Ponderosa pine/ yellow indiangrass site was removed from the study after the low numbers of species and individuals collected there in 2007. All other sites from the 2007 survey were included in the 2008 survey. We also discontinued the collection of Coccinellidae in the 2008 survey, as only 98 individuals from four species were collected in 2007. Pitfall and malaise trapping were continued in the same way as the 2007 survey. Sweep net sampling was discontinued to allow time for Asilidae and Orthoptera timed surveys consisting of direct collection of individuals with a net. These surveys were conducted in the same way as the time constrained butterfly (Papilionidea and Hesperoidea) surveys, with 15-minute intervals for each taxanomic group. This was sucessful when individuals were present, but the dry summer made it difficult to assess the utility of these techniques because of overall low abundance of insects.

    Critical Windows in Animal Development: Interactions Between Environment, Phenotype and Time

    Critical Windows in Animal Development: Interactions Between Environment, Phenotype and Time Casey A. Mueller Department of Biological Sciences California State University San Marcos San Marcos, CA [email protected] Abstract Observable phenotypic traits of an animal are a result of the interaction between the genome and environment. Differences in phenotypic traits between individuals induced by the environment, an indicator of phenotypic plasticity, may have immediate and long-term consequences for individuals, populations and species. During development, animals are often most responsive or susceptible to changes in their environment, and phenotypic plasticity can be particularly prevalent. It is increasingly apparent that the way in which the environment influences an animal’s physiology may differ not just across a species’ lifetime, but also within a species’ ontogeny. Periods of development during which an animal may show greater likelihood of phenotypic changes are termed ‘critical windows’ or ‘sensitive periods’. Across animal taxa, experiments utilize exposures to particular environmental, chemical or pharmacological stressors at certain time points of development to detect and understand critical windows during development. This chapter examines the emergence of critical windows as an important physiological concept using examples from the literature that span model and non-model invertebrates and vertebrates exposed to a range of environmental conditions. This chapter also outlines considerations for the continued search for critical windows. Critical window experimental designs can range in complexity, and variables such as the timing of exposures, if a single or multiple doses of a stressor are used and when endpoints are assessed should be considered. A continued focus on critical windows will no doubt contribute to our growing knowledge of the interaction between the environment and physiology during animal development.
