The Spatial Distribution Of The Nests Of The Black-Crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax Nycticorax) And The Snowy Egret (Leucophoyx Thula) In Central Utah, Randall S. Isham
Theses and Dissertations
Nests of the Black-crowned Night Heron and the Snowy Egret were examined in five central Utah colonies in 1973 to determine the spatial distribution within the colony. Nest locations of the 1085 nests of the two species were plotted to the nearest foot with an alidade and plane table. Tests of randomness, clump size, association, segregation, and T distribution were utilized. No differences between species were noted for the distance to the nearest and the next nearest nest. The Night Heron nested closer to other Night Herons and more often than did the Snowy Egret which non-significantly selected either species …

A Taxonomic And Ecologic Study Of The Riverbottom Forest On St. Mary River, Lee Creek And Belly River In Southwest Alberta, Canada, Robert Keith Shaw
Theses and Dissertations
The riverbottom forest community of St. Mary River, Lee Creek and Belly River in southwest Alberta, Canada is a unique ecological entity characterized by poplar species having their major Alberta distribution along these streams. Stands in the community are dominated by three tree species, six shrub species and nine herb species. Establishment of the community is dependent on climate and substrate; destruction is the result of progressive lateral stream-flow erosion. Soils are sandy loams above gravel, with pH values of 7.7 to 8.0 and soluble salt concentration of 176 to 458 parts per million. Trees in mature stands averaged 23.0 …
Some Aspects Of Vegetation Response To A Moisture Gradient On An Ephemeral Stream In Central Arizona, Deborah Ann Bloss
Some Aspects Of Vegetation Response To A Moisture Gradient On An Ephemeral Stream In Central Arizona, Deborah Ann Bloss
Theses and Dissertations
Ecological aspects of desert vegetation in relation to a moisture gradient of an ephemeral stream in central Arizona were investigated. The stream channel, flood plain and north, west, south, east facing slopes represent a moisture gradient going from most mesic to most xeric conditions. In parts of the system, vegetation from the stream channel intergraded into flood plain vegetation which in turn intergraded into slope vegetation types. In other areas there are sharp delineations between stream channel and flood plain, and between flood plain and slope. Trees and legumes preferred medium moisture habitats, while forbs, shrubs and succulents preferred the …

Yellow Ore, Yellow Hair, Yellow Pine: A Photographic Study Of A Century Of Forest Ecology, R. R. Progluske, R. H. Sowell
Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)
This is an attempt to show man's impact on the Black Hills, a natural forest in western South Dakota and eastern Wyoming. This region up to less than a century ago was under "total management" by Nature through rain, hail, snow and ice storms, tornadoes, ravages of insects, and frequent fires caused by lightning or by humans.
Although the Black Hills are not historically old in terms of settlement by the white man, geologically they are among the earth'.s oldest features in North America. Ponderosa pine appears to have been the natural dominant forest for eons. This prevailing forest, together …

Great Basin Naturalist
Growth rates, gestation period, litter size, reproductive age, sex ratios, and development were studied on 198 litters of Reithrodontomys megalotis megalotis (Baird). Growth was characterized by several standard skull and body measurements and was partitioned into four phases of 1–3, 4–12, 13–22, and 23–70 days. Growth was best described by measurements of tail length, ear length, and dried eye-lens weight. Reproductive activity began as early as 38 days for females and 59 days for males. The gestation period was 22 days, and the mean litter size was 3.83 (range 1–7). Sex ratio was 53.49 percent males to 46.51 percent females. …

A Study Of The Radiation Quality Under Plant Canopies In The Wave Range 0.4 To 2.5 Microns, Nolasco G. Baldazo
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The spectral distribution of the global radiation from 0.4 to 2.5 microns penetrating deciduous and coniferous canopies were measured during clear days between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. using a double-quartz monochromator.
In the visible region (0.4 to 0.7 micron) the average relative spectral transmissions under both canopies are about one percent beginning at 0.4 micron and decreasing to about half a percent at 0.67 micron. There is only a small peak in the green (0.55 micron) transmission under deciduous stands while there is none under coniferous canopies. The slightly higher transmission in the blue (0.4 micron) is attributed to …

Costal Wetlands: Prospects For Satellite Inventory, Richard R. Anderson, Virginia Carter
Space Congress® Proceedings
Wise management of coastal resources depends in part on the maintenance and preservation of healthy wetland ecosystems. The water storage and purification function of wetlands as well as the nutrient contribution to aquatic organisms is well documented. Wetland management decisions are dependent upon timely, accurate information such as location, size and value of major wetlands and identification of areas significantly affected by man's activities. ERTS-1 (Earth Resources Technology Satellite) data provides repetitive' synoptic coverage for analysis of wetland ecology, detection of change, and mapping or inventory of wetland boundaries and plant communities. ERTS-1 positive transparencies of Atlantic Coastal wetlands were …

A Taxonomic Study Of The Western Collared Lizards, Crotaphytus Collaris And Crotaphytus Insularis, Nathan M. Smith, Wilmer W. Tanner
A Taxonomic Study Of The Western Collared Lizards, Crotaphytus Collaris And Crotaphytus Insularis, Nathan M. Smith, Wilmer W. Tanner
Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series
The heterogeneous nature of the collared lizards west of the Colorado River prompted this study. Samples from known populations of C. c. auriceps, C. c. baileyi, and C. c. fruscus were used as a base for defining the western populations. External morphology and cranial morphology were compared by cluster, canonical, and discriminant analyses.
Results of these analyses show a western complex of four populations which are distinct from the three base populations of the collaris complex. Members within the western complex are distinguishable with at least 90 percent reliability by discriminant analysis. Because of intergradation patterns seen in western Sonora, …
Pathological Changes In Tissues Collected From Kangaroo Rats At The Nevada Test Site, Michael Scott Fisher
Pathological Changes In Tissues Collected From Kangaroo Rats At The Nevada Test Site, Michael Scott Fisher
Theses and Dissertations
Structural aberrations induced in chromosomes by irradiation have been described and classified in great detail (Bender, 1969; Arena, 1971). According to Bender (1969), these aberrations appear after exposure to ionizing irradiation following cell division, or persist unmodified and unrecognizable in interphase cells for many years. In either case, these aberrations persist and can be seen years after radiation exposure.
