An Ecological Study Of An Exclosure In The Mountain Brush Vegetation Of The Wasatch Mountains, Utah, Elray S. Nixon
An Ecological Study Of An Exclosure In The Mountain Brush Vegetation Of The Wasatch Mountains, Utah, Elray S. Nixon
Theses and Dissertations
This is a comparative study of the vegetation and soils of an exclosure in the mountain brush vegetation of the Wasatch Mountains, Utah. The exclosure was fenced and initially analyzed during the summers of 1949-1950. The study area is located in Pole Canyon in the Uinta National Forest, a few miles northeast of Provo, Utah. The dominant woody species of the vegetation in the exclosure are big toothed maple (Acer grandidentatum) and Gambel oak (Quercus gambelii). After settlement of the area in and around Provo, Pole Canyon became overgrazed by livestock. Since 1949 the area has been protected from grazing. …
An Analysis Of A Hybrid Complex Involving Agropyron Subsecundum, Agropyron Trachycaulum And Elymus Glaucus, Lewis Kay Shumway
An Analysis Of A Hybrid Complex Involving Agropyron Subsecundum, Agropyron Trachycaulum And Elymus Glaucus, Lewis Kay Shumway
Theses and Dissertations
In the past twenty years many workers have made contributions to a better understanding of hybridization and introgression through studies of members of the grass family. The present study is an attempt to increase the understanding of the importance and amount of hybridization and introgression in members of the Tribe Hordeae. This study is concerned with a hybrid complex involving Agropyron subsecundum (Link) Hitchc. (bearded wheatgrass), Agropyron trachycaulum (Link) Malte (slender wheatgrass) and Elymus glaucus Buckl. (blue wild rye).
A Morphological Study Of Some Larval Ticks Of The Genus Dermacentor With Emphasis On Structures Of Possible Taxonomic Importance, Richard Grant Robertson
A Morphological Study Of Some Larval Ticks Of The Genus Dermacentor With Emphasis On Structures Of Possible Taxonomic Importance, Richard Grant Robertson
Theses and Dissertations
This study was undertaken to evaluate and determine morphological characteristics which might prove valuable in the identification of the larvae of the following species of ticks of the genus Dermacentor Koch: D. albipictus Packard, D. andersoni Stiles, D. hunteri Bishop, D. parumapertus Neuman, and D. variabilis Say. A taxonomic key for the identification of all of the Canadian and United States species of the larvae of the genus Dermacentor Koch cannot be constructed until specimens of D. halli and D. occidentalis have been examined. However, the followng conclusions were reached regarding the species studied: 1. Position of setae is of …
Classification And Distribution Of The Native Trees Of Utah, Kimball Steward Erdmann
Classification And Distribution Of The Native Trees Of Utah, Kimball Steward Erdmann
Theses and Dissertations
This study is an attempt to consolidate the information already known about the trees of Utah and to extend our knowledge of these trees. An intensive study was made of the available literature. The tree specimens of the herbaria of the Utah State University, University of Utah, Brigham Young University and the Regional Office of the Forest Service at Ogden were examined. These studies were supplemented with extensive field work in various parts of the state. From this information, keys and descriptions of the genera and species were written and distribution maps for each tree and illustrations of many of …

Theses and Dissertations
The genus Dryocoetes is widely distributed in Europe, Asia, North America and Central America. It consists of about sixty species, seven of which occur in North America.
A Comparative Study Of The Axillary Sclerites In Coleoptera, Howard P. Shurtleff
A Comparative Study Of The Axillary Sclerites In Coleoptera, Howard P. Shurtleff
Theses and Dissertations
The axillary sclerites of 69 species representing 52 families of the order Coleoptera were examined and illustrations prepared of most or them. A description is given for the typical axillary sclerites and the deviations in form from this pattern are discussed for the major groups of beetles. The phylogenetic relationships between some families, and other groups, are pointed out based on the morphology of the axillary sclerites. Phyletic groups in Adephaga are characterized by the axillary sclerites, but in the Polyphaga variations are too numerous and inconsistant to be useful in determining phyletic trends.
