In recent years the amount of wildlife literature accumulating in professional journals has made it difficult for field biologists to maintain a reference library. As a result of many requests for literature we have gradually compiled a bibliography on wildlife habitat management reflecting the types of information sought by biologists in the Southwest. Even though we excluded some periodicals and information on selected species this bibliography contains 390 references. Students, research and management biologists, and professors alike should find it useful in their search for information on wildlife and habitats in the Southwest.

Nematodes injure plants (1) directly by their feeding, which results in loss of roots, lack of vigor and general stunting; and (2) indirectly by wounding plant tissues and affording easy entrance to fungi and bacteria capable of producing root and crown rots, wilts (Fusarium, Verticillium, or bacterial), and crown gall. Plants severely infected with nematodes are also more susceptible to winter injury than healthy ones. The best known plant-infecting nematode, and one of the easiest to recognize, is root-knot (Meloidogyne spp.). Over 2,000 species of plants are susceptible to one or more of the several species of root-knot nematodes.
