Abstract:
In recent years the groundhog, Marmota monax, has greatly increased its range in the Southeast and now is found in areas of the Piedmont Plateau and Coastal Plain where it did not occur in historical times. The change is distribution is believed to correlate with changing land use practices. Clearing of forests for agriculture purposes has increased the amount of habitat suitable for groundhogs in the Piedmont Plateau and Coastal Plain.

Abstract:
Field observations of the American alligator were made incidental to a five-year study of the nursery use of Dutchman Creek estuary, near Southport, by estuarine dependent fishes and shell fishes. Alligators were most frequently seen between April and July and occurred over a wide range of salinities. Some individuals that inhabited the lower reaches of the estuary appeared to have shifted their distribution in response to a major alteration of this habitat.
