Abstract:

A survey of streams in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park revealed low populations of hellbenders (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis) and mudpuppies (Necturus maculosus). Water quality profiles indicated acidic conditions for Little River and Noland Creek, suggesting that monitoring efforts should be continued.

Aletris is a genus of flowering plants which has a disjunct distribution in eastern North America and eastern Asia. A complete distribution of Aletris has not been documented until now. Distribution and habitat information were recorded from correspondence with herbarium curators and from specimens obtained from North Carolina State University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and other universities.

Abstract:

Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington conducted a study of two species of voles in genus Microtus. The results suggest a significant difference in age-specific mass in infants of these two vole species, but growth rates do not differ.
