Abstract:
As part of a program to learn more about the status and ecology of bobcat populations in North Carolina, this study examined bobcat food habits based on analyses of trapper-harvested carcasses. Stomach contents were analyzed and the results summarized by physiographic regions, sex and age.

Abstract:
The spotfin killifish (Fundulus luciae) is found sporadically in brackish coastal waters and marsh pools on Shackleford Banks and along the Newport River, Carteret County, North Carolina. This study documents the distribution and describes the habitat preference of the killifish on a salt marsh in southeastern North Carolina.

Abstract:
The eighteen terrestrial isopod crustaceans from North Carolina are reviewed with synonymies, illustrations, distribution maps, ecological notes and a key to species. The species can be divided into species exclusively from the seashore, and species from more upland locations.

Abstract:
The aquatic macroinvertebrates of the Upper French Broad River were sampled over a two-year period beginning in May 1977. The faunas are compared to those of other rivers and streams of the southern Appalachian Mountains. Information is provided on taxa richness and abundance, temporal and spatial changes in the benthic macroinvertebrate communities.

Abstract:
This paper summarizes ecological and distributional data of the southeastern shrew (Sorex longirostris) in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia. Comparisons are made with accounts from other sections of the Dismal Swamp in southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina.

Abstract:
Several cyprinid fishes are known to spawn in the nests of other cyprinid species, but cyprinid spawning in the guarded nests of centrarchids has been infrequently observed. Golden shiners (Notemigonus crysoleucas) were observed spawning in bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus Rafinesque) nests in a North Carolina pond. This spawning behavior may affect bluegill reproductive success.

Abstract:
Environmental impact studies associated with the operation of a nuclear steam electric power plant on the Cape Fear River near Southport permitted the first extensive survey of the marine and freshwater fish fauna of the Cape Fear watershed. The survey was conducted between 1973 and 1980, providing information on fish distribution, abundance, and water quality parameters.

Abstract:
Lake Waccamaw, North Carolina, is one of the shallow bay lakes of the southeastern coastal plain of North America. It has unusual water chemistry and harbors three endemic fish species. To assess the conservation status of the endemic species, this study measured the thermoregulatory behavior and diel activity patterns of fish species.

Abstract:
This study examined eighty-five sea birds for the presence of parasitic worms (helminths) between May 1977 and September 1979. The birds were collected off Oregon Inlet, North Carolina, and represented the orders Procellariiformes, Pelecaniformes, and Charadriiformes. Feeding habits of the host birds were directly reflected by their helminth fauna.

Abstract:
The seepage salamander (Desmognathus aeneus) has been found in the Unicoi Mountains of Tennessee and Nantahala Mountains of North Carolina. It inhabits leaf litter along small streams and seepage areas. This study reports information on the distribution, status, and ecology of the salamander in this region.

Abstract:
Malocclusion, with the consequential overgrowth of incisors or molars has been reported in rodents and, to a much lesser extent, in hares and rabbits (lagomorphs). A cottontail rabbit with incisor malocclusion was found and examined in Wayne County, North Carolina. No clear reason for the dental condition was found, and this was only the second report of the phenomenon in the wild.

Abstract:
The recent discovery of ancient weasel (mustelid) fossils in Goldsboro, North Carolina prompted a critical examination of Trigonictis species in the eastern United States. The mustelid was a carnivorous species from the Blancan land mammal age. This article provides a review of the literature, and a discussion of this species’ anatomy and taxonomy.

Abstract:
Information is presented on the occurrence of five species of marine turtles in North Carolina waters. The leatherback and loggerhead sea turtles, the two most commonly occurring species, are emphasized. Unpublished records indicate that the leatherback typically occurs in North Carolina throughout the warmer months in relatively shallow shelf waters, and may not be an open-ocean wanderer.

Abstract:
Terrestrial vertebrate studies have been conducted on some of the islands of South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia, but information on the vertebrates of many barrier islands is limited. This article describes the previously unreported small mammal fauna of a South Carolina barrier island. Information is provided on species composition, relative abundance, and habitat use.
