Abstract:
This study is the first attempt to inventory and evaluate the mammals associated with pocosins and Carolina bays. During a four-year period, forty species of mammals were trapped or observed in twelve North Carolina habitat types. Fires, storms, and certain man-related disturbances seemed to be influences on mammal density and diversity in pocosin communities.

Abstract:
Raccoons were studied in the North Carolina piedmont from 1975 to 1976 to determine if seasonal changes in body weight occur in a mid-latitude region. Weight changes in raccoons occurred later in North Carolina than in northern states and were less extreme. Differences in weight may reflect different foraging behaviors used in various climates and habitats.

Abstract:
This study examined thermal stress among eleven species of Procellariiform seabirds taken off the North Carolina coast. All species possessed well-developed rete mirabile ophthalmicums and intercarotid anastomoses, both playing a role in regulating blood flow and brain temperatures during heat stress.

The adult male and female, and immature stages, of Paracricotopus millrockensis are described from specimens collected in North Carolina and Georgia.
