Chrysothamnus Nauseosus Ssp. Uintahensis: A Stabilized Hybrid, Loran C. Anderson

Great Basin Naturalist

Chrysothamnus nauseosus ssp. uintahensis (Asteraceae) is formally described and illustrated. The new subspecies represents stabilized hybrids that most probably have C. nauseosus ssp. hololeucus × C. parryi ssp. attenuatus ancestry. Morphological and anatomical comparisons are made among the putatively related taxa.

Diatoms Of The Middle Fork Of The Salmon River Drainage, With Notes On Their Relative Abundance And Distribution, C. E. Cushing, S. R. Rushforth

Great Basin Naturalist

A total of 145 species of diatoms was collected from 13 sites in the Middle Fork of the Salmon River drainage, Idaho, USA. Achnanthes minutissima was the prevalent species with an importance index of 19.25. Cluster analysis revealed 2 main site groupings, sites above the entrance of Loon Creek and sites below. The entrance of Loon Creek (6th order) increases the Middle Fork of the Salmon River to a 7th order stream. Shannon–Weiner diversity values were generally high.

Nymphs Of North American Perlodinae Genera (Plecoptera: Perlodidae), Kenneth W. Stewart, Bill P. Stark

Great Basin Naturalist

Nymphs of the type or other representative species of the 22 North American Perlodinae genera are comparatively described and illustrated for the first time. The first complete generic key for the subfamily incorporates recent nymph discoveries and revisions in classification. References to all previous nymph descriptions and illustrations and major life cycle and food habits studies are given for the 53 North American species in the subfamily, and a listing of species and their current distributions by states and provinces is provided for each genus. The previously unknown nymph of Chernokrilus misnomus is described and illustrated.

Notes On The White-Tailed Antelope Squirrel, Ammospermophilus Leucurus, And The Pinyon Mouse, Peromyscus Truei, In North Central Nevada, Michael J. O'Farrell, William A. Clark

Great Basin Naturalist

A four-season live trapping study in the Whirlwind Valley, on the Lander and Eureka county lines near the Humboldt River, yielded two species previously unrecorded from both counties, Ammospermophilus leucurus and Peromyscus truei. Both records represent minimal airline range extension of 113 and 105 km. It is suggested that the distribution of A. leucurus may include the entire northeastern quadrant of Nevada. The occurrence of P. truei in sagebrush habitat 21 km from the nearest pinyon woodland is unusual and suggests that this species may occur patchily distributed throughout the lower elevation ranges in the northern portion of the state.

Genetics Of Hybridization Between The Pocket Gophers Thomomys Bottae And Thomomys Townsendii In Northeastern California, James L. Patton, Margaret F. Smith, Roger D. Price, Ronald A. Hellenthal

Great Basin Naturalist

Hybridization between the pocket gophers Thomomys bottae and T. townsendii at Gold Run Creek in Honey Lake Valley, Lassen County, California, is examined by electromorphic and morphologic characters and by the distribution of ectoparasitic mallophagan lice. Hybrid formation is minimal (about 12% of the total sample of 104 individuals examined), but both F₁ hybrids and a few presumptive backcross individuals are apparent. Nevertheless, no evidence of genic introgression based on five diagnostic allozyme loci is present in parental populations of either taxon within a mile of the hybrid zone. Similarly, louse species unique to each parental gopher host do …

Burrow Plugging By Prairie Dogs In Response To Siberian Polecats, Stephen J. Martin, Max H. Schroeder, Howard Tietjen

Great Basin Naturalist

Siberian polecats (Mustela eversmanni) were placed in white-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys leucurus) and black-tailed prairie dog (C. ludovicianus) burrows to simulate a black-footed ferret (M. nigripes) visit. Both prairie dog species plugged burrows "visited" by polecats. White-tailed and black-tailed prairie dogs plugged 2 of 6 and 3 of 6 test burrows, respectively.

Differential Winter Mortality Between Male And Female Mule Deer Fawns In Utah, Jordan C. Pederson

Great Basin Naturalist

During the winters of 1980–1984 winter mortality of mule deer fawns in central Utah was assessed. It was determined that the winter mortality ratio for female fawns as compared to males was 156:100. This mortality factor should be taken into consideration by game and range managers when determining harvest recommendations.

Transverse Pattern Of Vegetation On Avalanche Paths In The Northern Rocky Mountains, Montana, George P. Malanson, David R. Butler

Great Basin Naturalist

The pattern of vegetation on avalanche paths has usually been ascribed to the damage done by snowslides. In the northern Rocky Mountains the pattern of herbs, shrubs, and small trees appears to be more complex than could be accounted for by avalanche magnitude and frequency. The vegetation on one path in Montana illustrates that the topography of the path is a factor in the distribution of species. Three zones exist across avalanche paths: an inner zone of herbs and suffrutescent shrubs occupying a ravine, which is snow covered longer than elsewhere; flanking zones of dense shrubs and trees with flexible …

Vegetation Parameters For Judging The Quality Of Reclamation On Coal Mine Spoils In The Southwest, Earl F. Aldon

Great Basin Naturalist

Mining reclamation specialists and government regulators need sound criteria for judging when reclamation is complete and expensive bonds can be released. Values are given for five easily measured plant parameters that can be used for judging success on native species that are growing on semiarid grasslands and sagebrush lands.

Effects Of 2,4-D On A Populus Tremuloides Community In The Western United States—22 Years After Treatment, Dale L. Bartos, James E. Lester

Great Basin Naturalist

Quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) stands were accidentally sprayed with 2,4-D in a sagebrush control program in western Wyoming in 1958. We visited the site during the summer of 1981 to evaluate the long-term effect on the aspen trees and the associated vegetation. Initially, some observers believed that the aspen had been "destroyed." Subsequent data indicate just the opposite—aspen stocking appeared to have been improved by the treatment. On two of the sampled clones, 22 years after spraying, there were approximately 17,000 more suckers/ha on the sprayed than on the unsprayed plots. These are adequate numbers to restock the …

Hip Glands In A Natural Population Of Montane Voles (Microtus Montanus), Craig R. Groves, Barry L. Keller

Great Basin Naturalist

We recorded the occurrence of hip glands in a population of montane voles (Microtus montanus) in southeastern Idaho. Sexual maturity was positively associated with the presence of hip glands in both males and females. Significantly more males than females possessed hip glands. Males and females with hip glands were significantly heavier than individuals without glands. The possible function of hip glands in scent marking, aggression, and population fluctuations is discussed.

Multiple Use Systems For Aquaculture, J. M. Henderson, R. A. Heckmann, R. N. Winget

Great Basin Naturalist

Two recirculating aquaculture systems were constructed using a sequence of five tanks each. Each system contained two plant species, duckweed (Lemna minor) and Chinese water chestnut (Eleocharis dulcis); two fish species, channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and tilapia (Tilapia aurea); and a freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii). Duckweed production during the 132-day experiment reached as high as 87.2 tons/hectare/year (t/ha/yr). Water chestnut production was not successful in the restricted light situation of the lab, but in an outdoor test planting, corn production was 37.2 t/ha/yr. Four feeding trials were attempted using the …

On Cowania And Its Intergeneric Hybrids In Arizona, Marc A. Baker, Donald J. Pinkava, Bruce Parfitt, Timothy Righetti

Great Basin Naturalist

The putative intergeneric hybridization between Stansbury Cliffrose (Cowania) and Apache Plume (Fallugia) is found to be undocumented. Chromosome counts support reported base numbers for Cowania and Fallugia to be n = 9 and n = 14 respectively.

Mule Deer Passage Beneath An Overland Coal Conveyer, Charles L. Greenwood, Larry B. Dalton

Great Basin Naturalist

Presently, information pertaining to migration and daily movement patterns of big game in relation to overland conveyors or large diameter pipelines is sparse. A literature review showed that moose (Alces alces), caribou (Rangifer tarandus granti), reindeer, and dall sheep (Ovis dalli dalli) will pass beneath or over large diameter pipeline systems. But no information was found relative to big game crossing coal conveyor systems. Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) passage beneath an overland coal conveyor in Carbon County, Utah, was studied during spring 1981. Deer avoided crossing at underpass opportunities where the clearance …

An Ecological Study Of Bristlecone Pine (Pinus Longaeva) In Utah And Eastern Nevada, R. D. Hiebert, J. L. Hamrick

Great Basin Naturalist

This paper presents data on the distribution of Pinus longaeva on the Markagunt Plateau, Utah; and the Snake, Egan, and White Pine ranges of eastern Nevada. It also presents data on the present-day density and age structure of three P. longaeva populations and the growth rates of individual trees within these populations.

Conifer species richness and the relative abundance of P. longaeva varies clinally from the Markagunt Plateau to the White Pine Range. The Markagunt Plateau has relatively high conifer species richness (10 species) and low relative abundance of P. longaeva (1%). The White Pine Range has low conifer richness …

Burrowing And Denning Habits Of A Captive Colony Of The Utah Prairie Dog, Harold J. Egoscue, Elizabeth S. Frank

Cranial Measurements Of The Columbian Ground Squirrel (Spermophilus Columbianus Columbianus), With Special Reference To Subspecies Taxonomy And Juvenile Skull Development, Charles L. Elliott, Jerran T. Flinders

Great Basin Naturalist

The Columbian ground squirrel (Spermophilus columbianus (Ord)) is represented by two recognized subspecies, S. c. columbianus (Ord) and S. c. ruficaudus (A. H. Howell), that occupy allopatric but adjacent geographical areas in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Since numerical cranial characteristics of these subspecies have not been documented, we measured 8 cranial characteristics on 94 adult and 32 juvenile Columbian ground squirrels in an area considered to be occupied by S. c. columbianus. Body weights and standard body measurements were recorded for adults and juveniles. The study area included portions of the River of No Return Wilderness Area in central …

Littoral Heterogeneity And Diel Behavior Of White Bass (Morone Chrysops) And Carp (Cyprinus Carpio) In Utah Lake, Utah, Michael G. Devine, Dennis K. Shiozawa

Great Basin Naturalist

Diel activity and association patterns of white bass (Morone chrysops) and carp (Cyprinus carpio) in Utah Lake, Utah, were studied over four 24-hr periods during August 1980. Fish were concurrently sampled from two adjacent littoral habitats. Significant differences existed in diel activity patterns in two of three size classes of white bass and in diel association patterns of white bass and carp between the two habitat areas. Differences in habitat structure, and in biological activity between the habitat types, are implicated as the primary determinants of overall diel activity of fish in these littoral areas.
