ZINC PHOSPHIDE RODENTICIDE REDUCES COTTON RAT POPULATIONS IN FLORIDA SUGARCANE [PDF]
Rodents cause extensive damage to sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids) in southern Florida (Samol 1972). Losses have been estimated as high as $235/ha (Lefebvre et al. 1978). Cotton rats (Sigmodon hispidus) and roof rats (Rattus rattus) are responsible for

A history of mole crickets (Orthoptera: Gryllotalpidae) in Puerto Rico [PDF]
Published claims in 1887-1903 that the mole cricket Neocurtilla hexadactyla (Perty) occurs in Puerto Rico all seem to be derived from a misidentification made by Agustín Stahl, a medical practitioner and collector of natural history objects, published in

Extensions of Quandles and Cocycle Knot Invariants [PDF]
Quandle cocycles are constructed from extensions of quandles. The theory is parallel to that of group cohomology and group extensions. An interpretation of quandle cocycle invariants as obstructions to extending knot colorings is given, and is extended to links component-wise.
