Abstract:
River otters were transplanted from North Carolina and Maryland into the West Fork River of West Virginia during February and April, 1987. Birth of young and mating by the released otters occurred within two months of release. This represents the only known occurrence of birth during the same year following transplanting.

Abstract:
Notropis chlorocephalus, Notropis chiliticus, and Hybopsis hypsinotus are three species of fish found in the Peedee drainage and the Dan River of North Carolina. During a study of nest association among North American minnows in 1987-1988, these three fish species spawned over the nest of bluehead chubs (Nocomis leptocephalus). The advantage of spawning in nests of other fish species may be increased egg survivorship with no costs of parental care.

Abstract:
Cooter and redbelly turtles are aquatic species that inhabit the southeastern United States. Taxonomic relationships in the genus Pseudemys have been unclear due to an extensive history of species-subspecies revisions. This study analyzed and compared morphological characteristics of various turtle species in North Carolina and Virginia drainage systems.

Abstract:
The Carolina Madtom (Noturus furiosus) is a catfish endemic to the Tar and Neuse River drainages in North Carolina. Because of its endemicity and relatively limited distribution, this fish became a candidate for pre-listing studies by the Office of Endangered Species, United States Fish and Wildlife Service. This study analyzed the fish’s biology and distribution from 1982 to 1984.

Abstract:
The plankton community of Sutton Reservoir, an estuarine-influenced cooling reservoir in New Hanover County, North Carolina, was sampled monthly throughout 1985. This study compared the pelagic and near-shore plankton communities, and investigated the influence of the reservoir’s chemical and physical characteristics on plankton density.

Abstract:
This study investigated the species composition of land-based birds at sea during migration. Observations from 1975 to 1986 documented ninety-six species from the offshore waters of North and South Carolina. The results offer evidence for offshore movements by groups of birds other than nocturnal migrants, and suggest temporal changes in flock composition.

Abstract:
Collections of invertebrate animals and ecological data were made from approximately five-hundred caves in the Appalachian Valley and Ridge province of Virginia and eastern Tennessee from 1961 to 1980. The regional cave faunas consist of species that are related to or also exist in North Carolina and other southeastern states.

Abstract:
The pinewoods darter fish (Etheostoma mariae) is endemic to streams in the Carolina Sandhills where it is restricted to the Lumber River in North Carolina and to the Little Pee Dee River in North and South Carolina. This study examined the life history and ecology of the darter fish population in Naked Creek, North Carolina.

Abstract:
This report presents a survey of the freshwater (unionid) molluscan fauna of the piedmont portion of the Cape Fear River System in North Carolina. The abundance and diversity of mollusk species were compared across the Neuse, Tar, and Cape Fear drainages. Photographic plates and diagnostic comments are provided to facilitate identification of unionids.
