(1987-10-01)Six species of terrestrial isopods were found in a preliminary survey of appropriate habitats at the UWM Field Station. Each species is characterized briefly with distinctive features of its morphology and life cycle. -
The Cedar-Sauk Field Station as a background site for urban-rural spectral comparisons of direct beam solar radiation in the visible
(1974-10-01)The general effects of urban atmospheric pollutants on incoming solar radiation have been observed for many years. Estimates of shortwave depletion usually fall in the 15-20% range (Landsberg, 1956, p. 589), but only a few ... -
The centipede Lithobius celer (Chilopoda: Lithobiidae) in Wisconsin

The distribution of Sarracenia purpurea (pitcher plant) in Southeastern Wisconsin fens: The influence of pH and nutrients
(1987-04-01)Temperature, pH, alkalinity, total-N, total-P, K, Na, Ca and Mg levels were measured in groundwater at the Pickerel Lake and Ottawa Lake calcareous fens and the Cedarburg Bog patterned fen. The two calcareous fens were ... -
The dominance hierarchy of the Black-capped Chickadee and it's relation to breeding territory and frequency of visitation to an artificial food source
(1983-04-01)A peck-dominant type of dominance hierarchy was demonstrated in a group of twenty-one Black-capped Chickadees and was consistent with what is expected of this species of Paridae at the interflock level. No significant ... -
The ecology of a moth associated with the northern pitcher plant (Sarracenia purpurea)
(1983-04-01)Endothenia daeckeana Krft. is an obligate associate of S. purpurea L. in Wisconsin. This paper presents a preliminary analysis of the ecological relationship between this moth and its host plant. -
The effect of human disturbance on vegetation at the Wehr Nature Center in Whitnall Park

(1977-04-01)A variety of cues are available that a nocturnal migratory bird might use to orient during its journey. Perhaps the best established is their use of the information available in the celestial sky. But how much information ... -
The fat and weight cycle in Wisconsin juncos
(1970-04-01)Our study was aimed at answering three specific questions. First, do wild Juncos in Wisconsin exhibit spring premigratory fat deposition. Second, it has been reported that during the winter, fat deposits and body weights ... -
