92: | | Title: | | | | Volume/Number: | 38 2007 1 February | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | Description: | Irregularly published technical series. Abstract: To better inform conservation and management strategies directed at Franklins ground squirrel, Spermophilus franklinii, I reviewed published and unpublished accounts of the squirrels distribution, abundance, and principally, habitat associations. I present the body of literature on S. franklinii and include portions of original accounts to avoid potential bias from paraphrasing. A consensus of the literature indicates that S. franklinii is most frequently associated with habitat characterized by a mixture of grassy and woody vegetation, referred to as savanna-like or parkland habitat. Moreover, S. franklinii has had an affinity for this type of habitat throughout its geographic range in recent, historic, and even prehistoric times. This is in contrast to a view of the species as primarily associated with tallgrass prairie habitat. As indicated in the literature, populations of S. franklinii are subject to marked fluctuations, which probably are influenced by local disturbances in addition to regular dispersal events. In the southern part of its geographic range, S. franklinii is currently limited in its occurrence principally to roadside and railroad right-of-ways. In these southern regions S. franklinii is justifiably of conservation concern. I suggest that more detailed surveys for the species (such as those that have recently occurred in Illinois and Missouri) take place in Iowa and Kansas. | | | Date Created: | 04 09 2008 | | | Agency ID: | | | | ISL ID: | 000000010707 Original UID: 5812 FIRST WORD: Distribution, | |

Excerpt: Since its establishment in 1894, the Havana research site of the Illinois Natural History Survey has been identified by a confusing array of names. It is fitting, therefore, that at the dedication of the expanded and improved facility we pay tribute to the founding genius of the Survey and of the Havana research effort as well as bring the confusion of multiple names to an end. This field station, which has been the scene of so many significant scientific investigations, is to be known henceforth as the Stephen A. Forbes Biological Station. | | | Date Created: | 07 01 2008 | | | Agency ID: | 0888-9546 | | | ISL ID: | 000000012836 Original UID: 6834 FIRST WORD: Forbes | |

96: | | Title: | | | | Volume/Number: | 37 2006 5 July | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | Description: | Irregularly published technical series. Abstract: The genus-level classification of New World Erythroneurini is revised based on results of a phylogenetic analysis of 100 morphological characters. The 704 known species are placed into 18 genera. Erasmoneura Young and Eratoneura Young, previously treated as subgenera of Erythroneura Fitch, and Erythridula Young, most recently treated as a subgenus of Arboridia Zachvatkin, are elevated to generic status. Three species previously included in Erasmoneura are placed in a new genus, Rossmoneura (type species, Erythroneura tecta McAtee). The concept of Erythroneura is thereby narrowed to include only those species previously included in the nominotypical subgenus. New World species previously included in Zygina Fieber are not closely related to the European type species of that genus and are therefore placed in new genera. Neozygina, n. gen., based on type species Erythroneura ceonothana Beamer, includes all species previously included in the ceonothana group, and Zyginama, n. gen., based on type species Erythroneura ritana Beamer, includes most species previously included in the ritana group of New World Zygina. Five additional new genera are described to include other previously described North American Erythroneurini: Hepzygina, n. gen., based on type species Erythroneura milleri Beamer and also including E. aprica McAtee; Mexigina, n. gen., based on type species Erythroneura oculata McAtee; Nelionidia, n. gen., based on type species N. pueblensis, n. sp., three additional new species, and Erythroneura amicis Ross; Neoimbecilla, n. gen., based on type species Erythroneura kiperi Beamer and one new species; and Illinigina, n. gen., based on type species Erythroneura illinoiensis Gillette. Five new genera, based on previously undescribed species, are also recognized: Aztegina, n. gen, based on A. punctinota, n. sp., from Mexico; Amazygina, n. gen., based on type species A. decaspina, n. sp., and three additional new species from Ecuador; Hamagina, n. gen., based on type species H. spinigera, n. sp., and two additional new species from Peru and Ecuador; Napogina, n. gen., based on type species N. recta, n. sp., and one additional new species from Ecuador; Perugina, n. gen., based on type species P. denticula, n. sp., from Peru; and Spinigina, n. gen., based on type species S. hirsuta, n. sp., and an additional new species from Peru. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that the New World Erythroneurini consist of three lineages resulting from separate invasions from the Old World. | | | Date Created: | 07 19 2006 | | | Agency ID: | | | | ISL ID: | 000000010706 Original UID: 5810 FIRST WORD: Review | |
97: | | Title: | | | | Volume/Number: | 38 2008 3 April | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | Description: | Irregularly published technical series. Abstract: The 35 previously described species (including 4 junior synonyms) of the New World erythroneurine leafhopper genus Zyginama are reviewed and descriptions are provided for 43 new species, 2 from U.S.A., 26 from Mexico, 1 from Panama, and 14 from the Amazon region of South America. The following new synonyms are recognized: Z. aucta (McAtee) equals Erythroneura bilocularis Van Duzee, syn. n., and E. inclita Beamer, syn. n.; Z. nicholi (Beamer) equals E. canyonensis Beamer, syn. n., and E. ales Beamer, syn. n. Separate keys are provided for identification of males from North and South America, all known species are illustrated, and data on their distributions are summarized. Phylogenetic analysis of 40 morphological characters of the 71 species for which males are known yielded a reasonably well resolved estimate of relationships among the included species, but branch support was low overall. | | | Date Created: | 03 31 2008 | | | Agency ID: | | | | ISL ID: | 000000010708 Original UID: 5814 FIRST WORD: Review | |

99: | | Title: | | | | Volume/Number: | 142 2006 September | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | Description: | Irregularly published technical series. Abstract: The Illinois distribution of Scincella lateralis is portrayed on a shaded relief map. From map portrayal, this lizard appears distributionally uncommon and probably relictual in the north, common and distributionally continuous in the south. Some northern populations may be nearing local or regional extinction, while southern populations are considered secure. We speculate that northern range expansion probably took place during the warmer, drier Holocene Xerothermic interval from ca 8,000 to ca 4,000 years BP. The current range in Illinois cannot be interpreted to support a recent (ca 100 year) Global Warming Hypothesis, but it can be interpreted to support some regional cooling after 4000 years BP, and later (from ca 1650 until about 1850 AD.) | | | Date Created: | 08 29 2006 | | | Agency ID: | 0073-490X | | | ISL ID: | 000000010739 Original UID: 5840 FIRST WORD: The | |
100: | | Title: | | | | Volume/Number: | 37 2006 6 October | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | Description: | Irregularly published technical series. Abstract: This study was undertaken to determine vascular plant species composition, vegetation structure, and floristic quality of the major plant communities in the windblown sand deposits of northwestern Illinois during the growing seasons of 2002 through 2005. The major plant communities of the Ayers Sand Prairie Nature Preserve in Carroll County, Big River State Forest in Henderson County, Lost Mound Unit of the Upper Mississippi River Wildlife and Fish Refuge in Carroll and Jo Daviess counties, and the Thomson-Fulton Sand Prairie Nature Preserve located in Whiteside County were examined and the importance values determined for the plant species present. Located on broad terraces of the Mississippi River, these nature preserves and natural areas are remnants of a larger grassland/savanna/forest complex that contained extensive marsh; wet, mesic, and dry sand prairie; sand savanna; and sand forest communities. Most of the sand deposits are now cultivated and the original vegetation is found only in protected remnants, some of which are relatively large. The mature dry sand prairies were dominated by Schizachyrium scoparium; other important species were Opuntia macrorhiza, Dichanthelium villosissimum, Ambrosia psilostachya, and Tephrosia virginiana. Other assemblages of prairie and exotic species were encountered in successional sand prairie communities. Generally, the mature prairie communities in these preserves and natural areas had 35 or more species present in the study plots. Savanna and closed canopy forest communities were also examined. The dry sand savannas were dominated by Quercus velutina and Q. marilandica, dry sand forests were dominated by Q. velutina, and dry-mesic sand forests were dominated by Q. alba and Q. velutina. | | | Date Created: | 10 19 2006 | | | Agency ID: | | | | ISL ID: | 000000010719 Original UID: 5811 FIRST WORD: Vegetation | |
