Faunistic results of the excursion of the Department of Zoology in the Fertő-Hanság National Park in 2024

The foundation of the University of Wyoming­National Park Service Research Center (UW-NPS) is rooted in the first research station established in a national park. The Jackson Hole Research Station, was initiated in 1948 by the New York Zoological Society and the Jackson Hole Preserve, Inc. In 1953, the University of Wyoming (UW) joined with the New York Zoological Society in operating and sponsoring that facility and its research program. A name change in 1954 to the Jackson Hole Biological Research Station (JHBRS) described the research emphasis of the program. In 1971, the Yellowstone Environmental Research Center (YERC) program was jointly established by the University of Wyoming and the National Park Service-(NPS). Finally, a cooperative agreement between the University and the NPS in 1977 joined JHBRS with YERC to form the present UW-NPS Research Center, the first Cooperative Park Studies Unit (CPSU) in the Rocky Mountain Region (RMR) of the NPS. A field research facility at the former AMK Ranch continues to be cooperatively operated and maintained in Grand Teton National Park under a-long-term special use permit. With this reorganization, UW and NPS agreed to jointly sponsor and administer a new research program covering 19 national park areas in four states: Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota. In 1985, Utah was added to the program, and Colorado was added in 1990 to reach a total of 41 park units. The Research Center is headquartered in the Department of Zoology and Physiology on the University of Wyoming campus, Laramie.

Intergroup Differences in a Social Custom of Wild Chimpanzees: The Grooming Hand-Clasp of the Mahale Mountains

In many sexually dimorphic mammal species, the sexes live outside the mating season in separate social groups ('social segregation'). Social segregation occurs in a wide range of environmental conditions, but its cause in unknown. I suggest that social segregation is caused by a lower level of activity synchrony between individuals in mixed-sex groups than in single-sex groups, owing to sex differences in activity rhythm. As a consequence, mixed-sex groups are more likely to break up than single-sex groups, resulting in a predominance of single-sex groups at equilibrium. To test this hypothesis in red deer (Cervus elaphus L.), I developed an index of activity synchronization and showed that deer in mixed-sex groups were significantly less synchronized in their activity than deer in single-sex groups. Thus, low intersexual synchrony in activity can lead to social segregation. However, a lower level of intrasexual (female-female and male-male) activity synchrony within mixed-sex than within single-sex groups implies that additional factors (other than sex differences in foraging rhythm) contribute to the higher degree of instability of mixed-sex groups.

Knowledge of the food and feeding habits of the western spotted frog has been primarily based on the reports of Tanner (1931), Fitch (1936), Schonberger (1945) and Moore and Strickland (1955). These analyses have all been purely qualitative in nature and based on collections made at one time during the spring or summer. The following study is based on an analysis of the contents of the digestive tracts of 178 individuals collected from populations in Yellowstone Park, Wyoming, during 1953, 1954, and 1955. Thirtyfive of these frogs were collected on August 17, 1953, about one-half mile northeast of Fishing Bridge along a backwater of the Yellowstone River. The remainder of the sample was collected in 1954 and 1955 from other populations near the north end of Yellowstone Lake. Because the sample represents all age groups and was collected gradually over the course of several seasons it has been possible to learn something of seasonal variation (both qualitative and quantitative) in the diet of the western spotted frog. Acknowledgment.-The writer wishes to acknowledge the role of members of the United States National Park Service in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, without whose cooperation this study could not have been carried out. Collection of materials was in accordance with a Class B permit. Appreciation is also expressed for use of facilities of the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, and the Department of Zoology, University of California. In connection with the identification of materials recovered from the guts of frogs the writer wishes to gratefully acknowledge the assistance of the following persons: Dr. Paul D. Hurd, Jr., Assistant Entomologist, Department of Entomology and Parasitology, University of California, identified dipterans, hymenopterans, lepidopterans, and orthopterans (as well as certain representatives of other smaller groups); Hugh Leech of the California Academy of Science, identified both adult and larval beetles and certain other larvae,; Dr. Willis Gertsch of the American Museum of Natural History identified the spiders; Dr. Robert Usinger, Department of Entomology and Parasitology, University of California, and John Herring identified the hemipterans; Dr. Donald Denning of Velsicol Corporation identified the trichopterans; Dr. Edward L. Bousfield identified the amphipods; Ernest Roscoe identified the snails; and Helen Sharsmith of the University of California Herbarium identified certain plant remains. Finally, it is a pleasure to acknowledge the assistance and direction of Dr. Robert C. Stebbins in the preparation of this manuscript.

The type specimens of 717 chalcidoid species described by taxonomists from the Department of Zoology, Aligarh Muslim University, India, and their depositories are tabulated. Table 1 lists the holotypes and other type specimens of the species deposited in the Natural History Museum, London, England (BMNH), National Zoological Collections, Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata, India (NZSI), Forest Entomology Division, Forest Research Institute, Dehra Dun, India (FRI), National Pusa Collections, Division of Entomology, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, India (NPC), and the Insect Collection, Department of Zoology, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India (ZDAMU). The holotypes and lectotypes of 700 species are distributed as follows: BMNH (175), NZSI (34), FRI (28), NPC (131), and ZDAMU (332). The holotypes of 17 species could not be located in ZDAMU, but all of these species are represented by paratypes. A further 23 species whose types are not located in ZDAMU are listed in Table 2.

The Elton Archive mostly comprises the Field Notes compiled 1942-1965 by Charles S. Elton, FRS, CBE (1900-1991) while he was Director of the Bureau of Animal Population, a research group affiliated to the Department of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy (from 1963, Department of Zoology), Oxford University. Further material (not yet transcribed) is held in the Bodleian Libraries Special Collections. Also included in this Archive are transcriptions of a seminar that Elton gave in 1962 to mark 30 years of the Bureau of Animal Population, apparently delivered to a small audience in the library of the Magdalen labs., and that of a similar event in 1993 by Dr. John R. Clarke, Elton’s research student and long-time collaborator. The original manuscripts were held in private archives, as were those of the accounts of three Expeditions from Oxford University to the Arctic archipelago now called Svalbard in 1921, 1923 and 1924. They were transcribed and edited 2013-4 by Caroline M. Pond (Emerita Professor of Comparative Anatomy, The Open University and honorary Senior Research Associate in Zoology, Oxford University) as a volunteer recruited by the Joint Museums Volunteer Service and supervised by Nigel Fisher (Wytham Woods), Darren Mann (Hope Entomological Collections) and Keith Kirby (Department of Plant Sciences). Voice-activated software (Dragon and Talkingpoint) was used throughout. The Editor would like to record that she attended Elton’s lectures as an undergraduate in the 1960s, and was a colleague of Stephen Hurry (1932-2008) at The Open University when he worked there 1979-92. The Elton Archive material is made available by permission of his family and the Department of Zoology (successors to the Bureau of Animal Population) and Oxford Museum of Natural History via the Oxford Research Archive, through the work of Professor Caroline Pond who 'read-in' the entire oeuvre.

In 1973, the Peruvian government created one of the largest and most pristine nature reserves anywhere in the world. The preserve was christened ‘‘Manu’’ after the meandering river that courses through its lower reaches. Most of the park is situated in the lowlands of the department of Madre de Dios, although its highlands lie in the adjacent department of Cuzco. The park’s origins were chronicled by Kim MacQuarrie in a beautiful book illustrated with photographs by Andre and Cornelia Bartschi (MacQuarrie, 1992, 1998). To us, it seems especially fitting that this magnificent park owes its origin to Peruvian naturalist-collector Celestino Kalinowski. Kalinowski was born and made his home in the Marcapata valley just south of Manu. He traveled widely in Peru and beyond, and he shipped specimens that he collected to major natural history museums the world over. However, his collections were especially strong from the region surrounding his home. The place names ‘‘Hacienda Cadena’’ and ‘‘Quince Mil’’ are well known to students of South America’s vertebrate faunas. So valuable were those he shipped to the bird and mammal divisions of Chicago’s Field Museum that the Museum sponsored his trip to Chicago to study his and other collections and to confer with the scientists—Colin Sanborn, Philip Hershkovitz, Melvin Traylor, and Emmet Blake—who were studying material that he sent here. Alarmed by growing commercial development in southeastern Peru in the 1960s, Kalinowski sought to secure governmental protection for the natural areas remaining in best condition. He actively lobbied governmental official Don Felipe Benavides to advocate setting aside a ‘‘reserved zone’’ consisting of the entire watershed of the Manu River. He also escorted Major Ian Grimwood, an English consultant hired to locate a national reserve in the Amazon, to Manu. Although Grimwood had earlier concluded that much of Peru’s Amazon forest had already been despoiled, Kalinowski opened his eyes to Manu’s pristine riches. A three-week trip sufficed to convince Grimwood that Manu was the place for the reserve, and he so reported his recommendation to the government. A year later, in 1968, Manu was declared a national reserve, and hunting and lumbering were prohibited. In 1973, the area became a national park, ensuring its legal status and protection. In 1977, UNESCO recognized its global status by making the national park and an adjacent reserved zone—an area of 1,881,200 hectares—Manu Biosphere Reserve. A decade later, it was named a World Heritage Site, one of only 200 areas in the world accorded this designation (MacQuarrie, 1992). Recognition of Manu’s incredible biological riches has grown hand in hand with the reference collections of its plants and animals. Seemingly, each collection made there added more species to the regional fauna; many proved to be species new to science. Despite focused biological collections in Manu for more than 50 years, this still applies today, even to the best-known vertebrate * Preferred citation: Patterson, B. D., D. F. Stotz, and S.
