Stoneflies (Plecoptera) Of Southern Utah With An Updated Checklist Of Utah Species, Ronald G. Call, Richard W. Baumann
Stoneflies (Plecoptera) Of Southern Utah With An Updated Checklist Of Utah Species, Ronald G. Call, Richard W. Baumann
Monographs of the Western North American Naturalist
Southern Utah comprises 4 major physiographic divisions: the Great Basin, Colorado Plateau, Central Rocky Mountains, and Southern Rocky Mountains, which have been partitioned into faunal regions. We discuss the uniqueness of southern Utah and the amount of land set aside for recreation and preservation, and we encourage the study and preservation of its water resources. The stonefly (Plecoptera) fauna of 13 counties in southern Utah was surveyed. We found 58 species representing 34 genera and 8 families. Three new state records for Utah and many new county records for southern Utah are presented, along with a discussion of distribution patterns …

Mammals Of The Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument: A Literature And Museum Survey, Jerran T. Flinders, Duke S. Rogers, Jackee L. Webber-Alston, Harry A. Barber
Mammals Of The Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument: A Literature And Museum Survey, Jerran T. Flinders, Duke S. Rogers, Jackee L. Webber-Alston, Harry A. Barber
Monographs of the Western North American Naturalist
This is the first treatment of the mammals of the Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument (GSENM). GSENM was established in 1996 as a 1.7-million-acre (680,000-ha) federal land reserve under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). To successfully manage this new monument, the BLM is presently developing a management action plan. To provide information for the proper management of mammal species of the area, we have reviewed background literature for each mammal potentially found within the Monument boundaries. We propose that a core area, surrounded by a buffer matrix, be used in GSENM and surrounding public lands to preserve …
The Battles Over Swiss Liberty, Marc H. Lerner
The Battles Over Swiss Liberty, Marc H. Lerner
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Between the French Revolution and the Revolutions of 1848, the European conception of freedom and liberty changed dramatically. Likewise with Switzerland, between the Helvetic Republic and the Sonderbund war of 1847, the conceptions of true Swiss liberty underwent radical alteration. In Zurich, Schwyz and Vaud a growing individualistic sense of liberty challenged a collective sense of freedom. To some extent an emphasis on guaranteed individual rights replaced the emphasis on local autonomy and self-rule. The changing understandings of Freiheit or liberte in Zurich, Schwyz and Vaud reflect the changes that occurred throughout Switzerland as well as Europe. The battle over …
Vegetation Response To Prescribed Fire In Dinosaur National Monument, Barry L. Perryman, Richard A. Olson, Stephen Petersburg, Tamara Naumann
Vegetation Response To Prescribed Fire In Dinosaur National Monument, Barry L. Perryman, Richard A. Olson, Stephen Petersburg, Tamara Naumann
Western North American Naturalist
Much of western North America is dominated by dense, monotypic, late seral stands of big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.). These stands often have depauperate understories with limited species richness, diversity, and herbaceous cover. The National Park Service at Dinosaur National Monument, Colorado, is using both strategic and natural prescribed fire in Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis Beetle and Young) communities to foster intra-community (α-scale) and landscape diversity. This study analyzed an accumulated foliar cover data set between paired burn and control areas on 6 different sites during the last 20 years. Across the monitoring period, mean …
Morphological And Genetic Variation Among Populations Of The Rare Kachina Daisy (Erigeron Kachinensis) From Southeastern Utah, Loreen Allphin, Michael D. Windham
Morphological And Genetic Variation Among Populations Of The Rare Kachina Daisy (Erigeron Kachinensis) From Southeastern Utah, Loreen Allphin, Michael D. Windham
Western North American Naturalist
Erigeron kachinensis, the Kachina daisy, is a rare species restricted to canyons in southeastern Utah. The species is known to exhibit low fecundity due to low percent fertilization of ovules and high percent abortion of fertilized ovules. Previous reproductive studies suggest that low fecundity is a consequence of small population size and inbreeding depression. This study examines genetic diversity within and among populations of E. kachinensis in Natural Bridges National Monument using enzyme electrophoresis. Field populations are found to have significantly different morphologies. However, morphological differences were less pronounced among populations grown in the greenhouse. The Kachina daisy exhibits …
Temperature Responses And Habitat Sharing In Two Sympatric Species Of Okanagana (Homoptera: Cicadoidea), Allen F. Sanborn, Jessica H. Breitbarth, James E. Heath, Maxine S. Heath
Temperature Responses And Habitat Sharing In Two Sympatric Species Of Okanagana (Homoptera: Cicadoidea), Allen F. Sanborn, Jessica H. Breitbarth, James E. Heath, Maxine S. Heath
Western North American Naturalist
Okanagana striatipes and O. utahensis are species synchronous in location of activity and utilization of host plants. They possess similar acoustic behavior. Analysis of calling songs shows that calls overlap in frequency but differ in temporal pattern. Based on characteristics of the cicada auditory system and the species recognition mechanism, the potential for acoustic interference exists. Both species are ectothermic behavioral thermoregulators. Measurements of thermal preference and body temperature during singing show that although thermal preferences are similar, O. utahensis sings at a significantly higher body temperature. Differences in body temperature required to coordinate singing in the 2 species provide …
Stoneflies (Plecoptera) Of Mount Rainier National Park, Washington, B. C. Kondratieff, Richard A. Lechleitner
Stoneflies (Plecoptera) Of Mount Rainier National Park, Washington, B. C. Kondratieff, Richard A. Lechleitner
Western North American Naturalist
Mount Rainier National Park, with an area of 95,356 ha, is approximately one-third as large as the state of Rhode Island. The lowest point is 490 m in elevation in the southeastern corner near where the Ohanapecosh River crosses the southern boundary. Columbia Crest is the highest point at 4392 m. The entire park is a rugged landscape marked by the major topographical feature, Mount Rainier, comprising over 25,899 ha, almost one-third of the park. The park lies entirely west of the crest line of the Cascade Range. Most streams in the park originate on Mount Rainier; however, several large …
A 4000-Year Record Of Woodland Vegetation From Wind River Canyon, Central Wyoming, Stephen T. Jackson, Mark E. Lyford, Julio L. Betancourt
A 4000-Year Record Of Woodland Vegetation From Wind River Canyon, Central Wyoming, Stephen T. Jackson, Mark E. Lyford, Julio L. Betancourt
Western North American Naturalist
Plant macrofossil analyses of 16 radiocarbon-dated woodrat middens spanning the past 4000 years from the Wind River Canyon region in central Wyoming provide information concerning late Holocene development of juniper woodlands. The study sites are currently dominated by Juniperus osteosperma, with J. scopulorum present locally. Woodlands in the region were dominated by J. scopulorum from ca 4000 yr BP until at least 2800 yr BP. Juniperus osteosperma invaded and expanded before 2000 yr BP. This expansion fits a regional pattern of J. osteosperma colonization and expansion in north central Wyoming during a relatively dry period between 2800 and 1000 …
Oreohelices Of Utah, Ii. Extant Status Of The Brian Head Mountainsnail, Oreohelix Parawanensis Gregg, 1941 (Stylommatophora: Oreohelicidae), George V. Oliver, William R. Bosworth Iii
Oreohelices Of Utah, Ii. Extant Status Of The Brian Head Mountainsnail, Oreohelix Parawanensis Gregg, 1941 (Stylommatophora: Oreohelicidae), George V. Oliver, William R. Bosworth Iii
Western North American Naturalist
The Brian Head mountainsnail, Oreohelix parawanensis, is reported for the 1st time as a living species, and for the 1st time its habitat is described. Preliminary determination of the very limited distribution of this species (≤2.3 ha inhabited in ~11 ha overall area) is presented. Morphometric data previously had been reported only for the holotype and for 1 topotype; measurements from 37 new specimens as well as 20 paratypes are provided here, and these data show that the lost holotype was not typical of the species. Sizes of reproductive snails and of embryos are also reported.
Geographic Variation In Pelage Color Of Piñon Mice (Peromyscus Truei) In The Northern Great Basin And Environs, Leslie N. Carraway, B. J. Verts
Geographic Variation In Pelage Color Of Piñon Mice (Peromyscus Truei) In The Northern Great Basin And Environs, Leslie N. Carraway, B. J. Verts
Western North American Naturalist
Cluster analyses of values for hue, value, and chroma (based on Munsell soil-color charts) obtained at 6 points on pelages of 202 adult piñon mice (Peromyscus truei) from the northern Great Basin and environs produced dendrograms with specimens grouped into 5 clusters. In most instances distribution of specimens forming clusters reflected those published for nominal races. In instances in which previous distributions of nominal races were not supported and for specimens previously unclassified, geographic distribution of groups of color morphs was logical and suggested avenues for additional research on geographic variation in the species.
A Heterotrophic Desert Stream? The Role Of Sediment Stability, Urs Uehlinger, Markus Naegeli, Stuart G. Fisher
A Heterotrophic Desert Stream? The Role Of Sediment Stability, Urs Uehlinger, Markus Naegeli, Stuart G. Fisher
Western North American Naturalist
In autumn 1998 stream metabolism was measured in the Hassayampa River, Arizona, a Sonoran Desert stream, using single-station diel oxygen curves and an oxygen mass balance model. Oxygen consumption rates of parafluvial and channel sediments were determined with respiration chambers. Bedload of channel sediments (sand) prevented significant primary production by benthic autotrophs, despite favorable nutrient, light, and temperature conditions. Ecosystem respiration was relatively low (1.50 g O2 m−2d−1) and presumably fueled by production in the riparian zone and riverine marshes. Respiration rates in the parafluvial zone and in channel sediments ranged from 0.6 to 1.4 …
A Seed Chalcid (Eurytoma Squamosa Bugbee) Parasitizes Buckbrush (Ceanothus Fendleri Gray) Seeds In A Ponderosa Pine Forest Of Arizona, David W. Huffman
A Seed Chalcid (Eurytoma Squamosa Bugbee) Parasitizes Buckbrush (Ceanothus Fendleri Gray) Seeds In A Ponderosa Pine Forest Of Arizona, David W. Huffman
Western North American Naturalist
Predispersal seed parasitism rates were quantified for buckbrush (Ceanothus fendleri Gray) in 3 Arizona ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.) forest units that had been thinned for ecological restoration objectives. The chalcidoid wasp Eurytoma squamosa Bugbee (Eurytomidae) was responsible for 35% of total seed loss in a single year. These findings represent an expansion of the known range and host list for E. squamosa and increase our understanding of factors that may constrain regeneration of C. fendleri in Southwest ponderosa pine forests.

Nest Site Characteristics And Reproductive Success Of The Western Tanager (Piranga Ludoviciana) On The Colorado Front Range, Karen N. Fischer, John W. Prather, Alexander Cruz
Nest Site Characteristics And Reproductive Success Of The Western Tanager (Piranga Ludoviciana) On The Colorado Front Range, Karen N. Fischer, John W. Prather, Alexander Cruz
Western North American Naturalist
From 1999 through 2001 we located and monitored Western Tanager (Piranga ludoviciana) nests in public open-space properties in Boulder County, Colorado. Fifty-four of 58 nests were located in ponderosa pine and the remainder in Douglas-fir. Nests were generally placed near the midpoint of branches in areas of high canopy cover (>50%) in the middle section of nest trees. Nest height varied as a function of nest tree height, and nests were oriented randomly in relation to trunks of nest trees. Tanager nesting success varied annually, with estimates using the Mayfield method ranging from 11.3% in 2000 to …

Capnia Caryi, An Interesting New Species Of Winter Stonefly From The American Southwest (Plecoptera: Capniidae), R. W. Baumann, G. Z. Jacobi
Western North American Naturalist
Capnia caryi, a new species of Nearctic Capniidae, is described from adults collected from high-elevation locations in the Southern Rocky Mountains of southern New Mexico and Arizona. Males are distinguished by their rounded club-shaped epiproct and sclerotized knobs on abdominal terga 8 and 9. Females possess a darkly sclerotized subgenital plate that covers most of tergum 8 and is produced posteriorly as a pair of broadly rounded lobes.
