17 July including 4 km W la Cumbre in the cleared area
of forest below a fence line when Martin
took temps. of Thorius under bark which
suggested that they are thermoregulating
choosing apparent optimal warm
temperatures where it exists as together
w/ sufficient moisture (see Martin for details)
I was at We collected at the P. lunguisantis
locality 9 km W la Cumbre and obtained
a good sample from here. This locality is
dominated more by oak and madrone
although pine is present; the other localities
are more exclusively pine. Thorius was often
more common in disturbed areas w/ many
exposed cover objects than in mature
forest. All these animals are apparently
T. narisovalis (see species account). Doug,
Dave, + Jim collected a sample of six
Thorius, apparently T. pulmonarius, which I
froze for comparison.
14 July - Doug and I attempted to get Thorius
along Mex Hwy 175 below La Cumbre to find
T. pulmonarius. We started looking at ~ the
trees' level and finally found 9 inside or
under logs in the pine forest at ~7100'. This
