Efficacy Of Translocation As A Management Tool For Urban Mule Deer In Utah, Channing R. Howard
Efficacy Of Translocation As A Management Tool For Urban Mule Deer In Utah, Channing R. Howard
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
An increase in urbanization in the United States has led to an increase in human-wildlife interactions with deer (Odocoileus spp.) which have been able to adapt and thrive in these urban environments. In Utah, urbanization has occurred along the Wasatch Front which was once traditional mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) winter range habitat. This urban expansion coupled with an increasing use of these urban areas by mule deer, have led to increasing conflicts with deer. Overabundant urban deer have led to increased concerns over safety from deer-vehicle collisions, and damage to personal property including gardens and landscaping. …
Brown Trout Perception Of Ultraviolet Radiation And Possible Influence On Distribution, Terrence H. Lee
Brown Trout Perception Of Ultraviolet Radiation And Possible Influence On Distribution, Terrence H. Lee
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Brown trout (Salmo trutta), demonstrated an avoidance response to a range of intensities of artificial ultraviolet radiation in a laboratory setting. UV field measurements were made under a variety of riparian canopies in a mountain river system. UV values at various depth regimes were compared with laboratory response values. Results suggested that ultraviolet light could be a factor in the absence of brown trout in particular habitat types at various times during the daylight hours. Visible light intensity response values were also obtained under the same experimental and field conditions. These data suggested that visible light also could …
