| Summary: | Ecology of Stenoponia in the Southwestern United States The need for more collecting in the Southwest is evident from the widely scattered records (Fig. 1). From the limited and often incomplete collection data available, adults of both species are collected primarily from species of Peromyscus during the cooler months from September through April in a wide range of habitats from grasslands and shrubs to Piñon Juniper woodlands, Ponderosa pine forests and mixed ConiferAspen forests. There are no records from the low deserts such as the Sonora and Mojave where summers are probably too hot for development of immature stages, nor are there records from the high montane SpruceFir forests and Alpine tundra where extreme cold could be a limiting factor, or collecting efforts have been insufficient. Data for nests are unavailable except for descriptions of nests and sites of P. maniculatus and P. t r u e i on Mesa Verde (Douglas 1969). Large fleas with broad host ranges are likely to have a lower fecundity than ... : Published as part of Hastriter, Michael W., Haas, Glenn E. & Wilson, Nixon, 2006, New distribution records for Stenoponia americana (Baker) and Stenoponia ponera Traub and Johnson (Siphonaptera: Ctenophthalmidae) with a review of records from the Southwestern United States, pp. 51-59 in Zootaxa 1253 on page 57, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.173052 ... |
