Circulichnis is a well-known ichnogenus demonstrating broad stratigraphic and geographic distribution with known habitats spanning from deep-marine to terrestrial environments. Although commonly small in size, a recent discovery in Central Texas demonstrates a much larger early member of this ichnogenus. Compared to previous identifications of Circulichnis, the findings presented herein express a larger trace string width exceeding the average for this ichnogenus. This expansion in morphometric parameters emphasizes the importance of overall dimensions in ichnospecies descriptions in concert with descriptive taxonomy.

Tardigrades, or water bears, are resilient microscopic animals found in terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Because tardigrades can be easily found and yet are understudied, fifth graders from Hill Elementary in the Austin Independent School District in Texas collaborated with their teacher and an expert to conduct a biodiversity survey of microscopic animals found in lichens and mosses on their school campus. These ten-year-olds learned to differentiate between tardigrades, rotifers, and nematodes as they collected samples from different habitats. In their first year of study, they observed 520 microscopic animals and found differences in their diversity and distribution patterns. A second study of 14 samples revealed 68 tardigrades from eight identified species, representing two classes, four orders, and five genera. Three of these species have never been recorded from the state of Texas and represent the first records for the state: Viridiscus perviridis (Ramazzotti, 1959), Milnesium cf. alpigenum (Ehrenberg, 1853), and Milnesium cf. brachyungue (Binda & Pilato, 1990). Furthermore, Mil. alpigenum and Mil. brachyungue were previously unknown in North America, thus representing the first records for both species on the continent. This experience demonstrates that students challenged with basic research questions can learn to conduct field research, carry out scientific surveys, collaborate with scientists and discover new knowledge. In this case, students learned to find tardigrades and contributed to our overall understanding of this phylum.

Antennal sensilla are documented for the first time in the family Helotrephidae. Sensilla in Hydrotrephes sp. include three forms of trichoid sensilla and two forms of leaf-like sensilla. Most of the sensilla are located on the apical two thirds of the distal segment. Morphology of the antenna in Helotrephidae appears to be of taxonomic use to define genera and it may be useful to determine relationships between genera within Helotrephidae and between the families Helotrephidae and Pleidae.

Granite Gap is a desert scrub habitat located in the Chihuahuan Desert in southwestern New Mexico about 200 km from the Texas border. In May 2016, we collected specimens of eight lizard species, six of which range into Texas: Callisaurus draconoides, Cophosaurus texanus, Uta stansburiana, Urosaurus ornatus, Gambelia wislizenii, and Aspidoscelis sonorae (a parthenogenetic species), plus two species not found in Texas: Sceloporus clarkii and Aspidoscelis tigris. We analyzed stomach contents of the preserved lizards and computed diet breadth and overlap for each. All lizard species consumed arthropods only. Considering the entire sample, there was a significant correlation between lizard snout-vent length (SVL) and total volume of arthropods consumed, and between lizard SVL and mean volume per prey item, but not between lizard SVL and number of arthropods consumed. This suggests larger lizards did not consume more arthropods than smaller lizards, but they did consume larger ones. Overall, A. sonorae was the most specialized lizard species at Granite Gap whereas C. texanus seemed to be the most generalized owing to its high numeric and high volumetric diet breadth. The dietary overlap data suggest there were two groups of lizards at Granite Gap: one that consumes a large number and volume of termites (Callisaurus, Cophosaurus, and the two species of Aspidoscelis) and the other that consumes a large number and volume of ants (Uta, Urosaurus, small Sceloporus) plus cicadas when lizard size is large enough to consume them (large Sceloporus and Gambelia).

Four sites in the Guadalupe River were sampled for coliform bacteria from the winter 2016 through spring 2017 to assess the microbiological pollution situation in the river and to identify pollution sources. Numbers of putative coliforms detected ranged from below detection limits to 260 CFUs per 100 mL. Over the time period sampled, coliform levels exhibited strong seasonality, probably linked to the amount of rainfall prior to the sampling date. Molecular analysis of confirmed E. coli isolates demonstrated that the spike in coliform numbers 03 December 2016 was dominated by only two unique fingerprints, suggesting the possibility of a watershed source for fecal contamination in the urban area. The diversity of E. coli fingerprints was much greater in the rural portion of the river, suggesting a variety of coliform sources, probably including wildlife. Further studies are needed to identify and manage sources of fecal pollution.

Yet, many species of wildlife occur along roadways (Fahrig & Rytwinski 2009; Sparks & Gates 2012) as roadways can provide some positive benefits. For example, vegetation along roadways can provide refuges (e.g., Ruiz-Capillas et al. 2013) and can support a diversity of small mammals (e.g., Gonzalez-Olimon et al. 2016). Roadways can provide foraging and scavenging substrates and use of structures along roadways such as powerlines and poles provide perches for hunting for birds (Morelli et al. 2014).
