Habitat Manipulation For Reestablishment Of Utah Prairie Dogs In Capitol Reef National Park, Rodney L. Player, Philip J. Urness Dec 1982

Habitat Manipulation For Reestablishment Of Utah Prairie Dogs In Capitol Reef National Park, Rodney L. Player, Philip J. Urness

Great Basin Naturalist

Utah prairie dogs were transplanted onto the site of a former colony, located in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah. Shrubs on the site were significantly taller than those found on active colonies in similar habitat located on the Awapa Plateau. Therefore, the transplant site afforded a test of the hypothesis that shrub height is a major inhibitory factor affecting occupation of sites by prairie dogs. Four sites of 5 ha each were used. Vegetation treatments—rotobeating, railing, and 2,4-D herbicide—were carried out on three of the sites and the fourth was used as a control. Shrub height and percent cover were …

Effects Of Defoliation On Reproduction Of A Toxic Range Plant, Zigadenus Paniculatus, V. J. Tepedino Dec 1982

Effects Of Defoliation On Reproduction Of A Toxic Range Plant, Zigadenus Paniculatus, V. J. Tepedino

Great Basin Naturalist

The effect of complete defoliation, prior to flower stalk appearance, on the reproductive success of foothill deathcamas, a toxic range plant, was studied in northern Utah. Defoliated plants did not replace their leaves. Defoliation had no effect on total number of flower stalks produced but did significantly slow the rate of stalk emergence and reduce the number of plants that produced open flowers. The number of leaves produced by control plants was also positively associated with the probability of producing a flowering stalk. Few plants in either defoliated or control treatments set seed, probably because of inactivity of pollinators during …

Temperature And Salinity Relationships Of The Nevadan Relict Dace, Steven Vigg Dec 1982

Temperature And Salinity Relationships Of The Nevadan Relict Dace, Steven Vigg

Great Basin Naturalist

The relict dace, Relictus solitarius, represents the only genus and species of fish native to Ruby Butte, Goshute, and Steptoe valleys in northeastern Nevada. In their natural habitats temperature ranges 0–25 C and salinity 175–1,158 mg/liter. The upper median thermal tolerance limit (96-hr TL50) of Butte Valley relict dace was 30.6 C when acclimated at 18–20 C. Relict dace tolerated total dissolved solids (TDS) of 11,043 mg/liter with no mortality during 96-hr exposures, but experienced 100 percent mortality at concentrations of 15,759 mg/liter with a mean resistance time of 23 hours. Tolerance of relict dace to 30 C was lowered …

Observations On Woundfin Spawning And Growth In An Outdoor Experimental Stream, Paul Greger, James E. Deacon Dec 1982

Observations On Woundfin Spawning And Growth In An Outdoor Experimental Stream, Paul Greger, James E. Deacon

Great Basin Naturalist

The response of woundfin to different substrates and current speeds was investigated in an outdoor experimental stream. Fish spawned in groups of 15–20 over 5–10 cm rock substrate in a .06 to .09 m/sec current at a depth of 10 cm. Eggs were adhesive on the undersides of the rocks. Fish spawned under these conditions grew to approximately 55–60 mm TL in 5 months.

Distribution And Relative Abundance Of Fish In Ruth Reservoir, California, In Relation To Environmental Variables, Steven Vigg, Thomas J. Hassler Dec 1982

Distribution And Relative Abundance Of Fish In Ruth Reservoir, California, In Relation To Environmental Variables, Steven Vigg, Thomas J. Hassler

Great Basin Naturalist

The fish population of Ruth Reservoir, California, was sampled every two weeks with variable mesh gill nets from May 1974 through May 1975. Fish were captured in the following order of numerical abundance: Humboldt sucker (Catostomus humboldtianus), golden shiner (Notemigonus crysoleucus), brown bullhead (Ictalurus nebulosus), white catfish (I. catus), rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri), and largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). The three most abundant species made up about 95 percent of total numbers and weight. All species exhibited a similar cyclic temporal availability pattern: catch rates increased to a maximum …

Early Development Of The Razorback Sucker, Xyrauchen Texanus (Abbott), W. L. Minckley, Eric S. Gustafson Dec 1982

Early Development Of The Razorback Sucker, Xyrauchen Texanus (Abbott), W. L. Minckley, Eric S. Gustafson

Great Basin Naturalist

Fertilized ova of razorback sucker, Xyrauchen texanus, were adhesive for 3 to 4 hours after fertilization. Cleavage was completed at 24 hours, gastrulation occurred at 34 hours, and blood circulation was established at 117 hours. Hatching occurred from 5.2 to 5.5 days after fertilization. Larvae were from 6.8 to 7.3 mm TL at hatching. Yolk was assimilated at 13 days (10 mm TL). All fins were formed and had ossified rays at 64 days (27 mm TL). The unique nuchal keel appeared about 200 days after fertilization.

Behavior And Habitat Preferences Of Ring-Necked Pheasants During Late Winter In Central Utah, Jeffrey G. Skousen, Jack D. Brotherson Dec 1982

Behavior And Habitat Preferences Of Ring-Necked Pheasants During Late Winter In Central Utah, Jeffrey G. Skousen, Jack D. Brotherson

Great Basin Naturalist

Ring-necked pheasant behavior and habitat preferences were studied during late February along benches of the Wasatch Mountains in central Utah. Seven behavioral categories were used to classify pheasant activities during three time periods of the day. Eating, alert, and movement behavior were the most frequent activities during all periods of the day. Significant differences (p < .01) were found between morning and midday behavior and between midday and evening behavior. Pheasants fed in open areas during morning hours then retreated into heavy cover during midday periods. The birds remained in heavy cover until late afternoon. Pheasants then moved away from heavy cover into semiopen areas to feed as evening approached.

Rhythm Of Fecal Production And Protein Content For Black-Tailed Jackrabbits, William D. Steigers Jr., Jerran T. Flinders, Susan M. White Dec 1982

Rhythm Of Fecal Production And Protein Content For Black-Tailed Jackrabbits, William D. Steigers Jr., Jerran T. Flinders, Susan M. White

Great Basin Naturalist

The cyclical phenomenon of soft and hard formation of feces in desert black-tailed jackrabbits (Lepus californicus deserticola, Mearns) was investigated. Sixty-nine blacktails were shot between 0525 hours and 1508 hours over a 4-day period. The average age was 314 days for all black-tails. The large intestine was removed and linear measurements taken. Overall length of the large intestine averaged 163.3 cm; mean length of the colon was 51.5 cm and average length of the rectum was 111.8 cm. Moisture content for soft and hard pellets averaged 79.5 percent and 74.1 percent, respectively. Protein content of soft and hard pellets …

Prairie Dog Colony Attributes And Associated Vertebrate Species, Tim W. Clark, Thomas M. Campbell Iii, David G. Socha, Denise E. Casey Dec 1982

Prairie Dog Colony Attributes And Associated Vertebrate Species, Tim W. Clark, Thomas M. Campbell Iii, David G. Socha, Denise E. Casey

Great Basin Naturalist

A survey of colony attributes and associated vertebrates on black-tail (Cynomys ludovicianus), Gunnison's (C. gunnisoni), and white-tail (C. leucurus) prairie dogs was made. A belt transect 1.6 km wide and 13,334 km long from Hobbs, New Mexico, to the Utah–Wyoming state line was surveyed. There were 47 colonies located (4760 ha comprising 2.2 percent) in the belt. Intercolony distances varied significantly. Three black-tail towns averaged 33 ha in area (SD = 26, range 10–61), II Gunnison's averaged 46 ha (SD = 43, range 16–150), and 33 white-tail towns averaged 125 ha (SD = 200, …

Distribution Of The Moss Family Grimmiaceae In Nevada, Matt Lavin

Great Basin Naturalist

Twenty-six taxa of Grimmiaceae are listed from Nevada, all representing the genera Grimmia and Rhacomitrium. Rhacomitrium heterostichum (Hedw.) Brid. var. heterostichum and Grimmia atricha C. Muell & Kindb. ex Mac. & Kindb. are listed for the first time as occurring in Nevada. Within the state, the Mohave Desert the Great Basin desert, and the Sierra Nevada display unique composition of members of the Grimmiaceae. Grimmia anodon is the most widespread moss in the state. Others, such as Grimmia rivulare, G. conferta, and G. alpicola inhabit only the montane environments of northeastern Nevada.

Insular Biogeography Of Mammals In The Great Salt Lake, Michael A. Bowers Dec 1982

Insular Biogeography Of Mammals In The Great Salt Lake, Michael A. Bowers

Great Basin Naturalist

The distribution of 21 species of nonvolant mammals among nine islands in the Great Salt Lake was analyzed for biogeographic patterns. The number of species inhabiting an island is closely correlated with island area That the slope of the regression line describing this relationship (z or b) is relatively shallow compared to (1) totally isolated island systems or (2) island systems where an equilibrium between rates of colonization and extinction have been attained suggests that isolation plays little role in accounting for the variation in mammalian species diversity among islands. Stepwise multiple regression confirms this, while demonstrating that area alone …

The Rights Of Aliens In The 1980s, Juan Ernesto Mendez Dec 1982

The Rights Of Aliens In The 1980s, Juan Ernesto Mendez

Antioch Law Journal

The United States has always been on the receiving end of the immigration stream. Today's immigration flow however, is markedly different from that of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Immigrants continue to come from a large variety of countries and ethnic origins, but a majority of them tend to be both poor and non-white. The flow of immigration has steadily increased since the early 1970's as international travel and communications have become more developed. Another element adding to the number of recent arrivals is the refugee crisis around the world. In some instances, the United States has perpetuated this …

Poverty Law In The 1980s, Marian Wright Edelman Dec 1982

Poverty Law In The 1980s, Marian Wright Edelman

Antioch Law Journal

It is self-interest and not justice that propels most people to act. If we intend to help the poor we will need to build coalitions with a range of others in society. When I came out of Mississippi, I thought that people were good if they were for everything I was for, and they were bad if they were not. I learned through the course of trying to protect Head Start that one could bring a whole range of groups together who had a self-interest in child care who would not speak to each other on welfare reform. Our work …

Civil Liberties In The 1980s. Remarks Of Norman Dorsen, Norman Dorsen Dec 1982

Civil Liberties In The 1980s. Remarks Of Norman Dorsen, Norman Dorsen

Antioch Law Journal

I have been asked to present an overview of the incursions on civil liberty that we may expect in the 1980s and how we may combat them. It is always risky to predict the future, especially in a field as volatile as this. Nevertheless, at least one thing is clear. Civil liberties during the coming decade will be subject to great pressures. This is true whether the government remains conservative, such as the present Reagan Administration, or changes after the 1984 or 1988 elections. The reason for my confidence in this assertion is that governments, whatever their political complexion, seek …

Civil Rights In The 1980s, Nathaniel R. Jones Dec 1982

Civil Rights In The 1980s, Nathaniel R. Jones

Antioch Law Journal

have been asked for my views on the civil rights agenda for the 1980s. Such an agenda cannot be proposed in a vacuum, for the roots of current civil rights problems extend deep into the nation's history. In fact, public acceptance of civil rights remedies has been impeded precisely because their historical predicates are so little understood. While the civil rights thrust has broadened to include gender, ethnic, and age considerations, the basic problems in shaping remedies continue to center around race and the nation's treatment of racial groups. This fact confounds those who had come to believe that problems …

Reproductive And Sexual Freedom In The 1980s, Rhonda Copelon Dec 1982

Reproductive And Sexual Freedom In The 1980s, Rhonda Copelon

Antioch Law Journal

The inclusion of issues of reproductive and sexual freedom in this symposium is itself a sign of great progress. The civil liberties agenda which, until the last decade, was largely focused on first amendment issues, has grown substantially. This is because the movements of the last several decades-civil rights, black power, feminist, anti-war, Native American, lesbian and gay, anti-nuclear, and others-have broadened our understanding of the meaning of repression. In 1960, for example, there was only a hardy band of progressive civil libertarians working on the idea that a woman's right to contraception and abortion is fundamental to her liberty.' …

First National Maintenance V. Nlrb: Limiting The Mandatory Duty To Bargain, Augusta Scribner Dec 1982

First National Maintenance V. Nlrb: Limiting The Mandatory Duty To Bargain, Augusta Scribner

Antioch Law Journal

In First National Maintenance Corp. v. NLRB I the United States Supreme Court further limited the subjects that require mandatory collective bargaining. 2 The Court overruled a long-standing National Labor Relations Board policy that required an employer to bargain about the decision to partially close its business. 3 The Court formulated a new balancing test that weighs the employer's need to maintain the freedom to manage its business against the benefit to labor-management relations and the collective bargaining process.
