Classification of natural ponds and lakes in the glaciated prairie region Classification of natural ponds and lakes in the glaciated prairie region
The wetland classification system for the United States adopted by the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife in 1953 is described by Martin et al (1953) and by Shaw and Fredine (1956). That classification has been followed by many biologists in recent years and is especially useful in categorizing in a general manner the wetlands throughout the country over a span of years.

Waterfowl in relation to land use and water levels on the Spring Run Area Waterfowl in relation to land use and water levels on the Spring Run Area
Low water levels during critical phases of the breeding cycle appear to have caused population declines of waterfowl and other marsh birds on the Spring Run Game Management Area. Pair-counts indicated a decline from 70 pairs of waterfowl in 1965 to 2 pairs in 1968. Nest success of upland nesting blue-winged teal (Anas discors) averaged 33% and mallards (Anas platyrhyncos) averaged 23%...

Studies on the life history and development of Cuterebra polita (Diptera: Cuterebridae) in four species of rodents Studies on the life history and development of Cuterebra polita (Diptera: Cuterebridae) in four species of rodents
Cuterebra polita Coquillett is a primary parasite of the pocket gopher. Thomomys talpoides. in the western United States. It also occurs secondarily in other wild rodents that come into close contact with pocket gophers. Field studies disclosed pursuit, mating, and ovipositing at an aggregation site near Monte Cristo, Utah. Eggs were individually attached to fibrous roots suspended from...

New homes for prairie ducks New homes for prairie ducks
This pamphlet describes how to make, install and care for inexpensive duck nesting baskets. Ducks have been attracted to these structures in the prairies of eastern North and South Dakota, western Minnesota, and northern Iowa. Nesting structures can help increase the number of local nesting ducks, especially mallards.
