Sept. 16
Glamis, Imperial Co., Calif.
was seen. We reached UCR at 1600
after a trip of 449 miles. We captured
a total of 70 lizards ( 4 species), as
follows:
Coleonyx variegatus - 6
Phymosoma micalli - 3 (+ 4 DOR)
Uma notata - 35
Urosaurus graciosa - 26
However, many of these were
juvenile lizards, so were simply
measured and released. Consequently,
only 33 lizards were brought back
for dissection for the reproductive
investigation, as follows:
Coleonyx - 3
P. micalli - 2
U. notata - 8
Urosaurus - 20
Urosaurus graciosa appeared to
contain the largest adult population
in that area at the present time.
Lots of juvenile Uma notata were
seen, but very few adults. Some Uma
was found up in the rocks again this
trip. Eriogonum deserticola and
Helianthus tephrodes both were in
bloom this trip. Eriogonum looked
particularly good at this time. Some
Ciston californica also was in good shape.
