Range Of The Brown-Headed Cowbird In Colorado: Past And Present, Jameson F. Chace, Alexander Cruz
Range Of The Brown-Headed Cowbird In Colorado: Past And Present, Jameson F. Chace, Alexander Cruz
Great Basin Naturalist
The historic range of the bison (Bison bison) on the Great Plains has been well documented. In Colorado the range of bison included both the eastern grasslands and higher-elevation ridges and mountain parks, up to an elevation of 3900 m. Based on the commensal relationship of the brood-parasitic Brown-headed Cowbird (Molothrus ater) with the bison, we suggest that the cowbird had a larger historical elevational range in Colorado than previously known and consequently has had a long-term host-parasite relationship with high-elevation breeding songbirds.
Survivorship And Cause-Specific Mortality In Five Populations Of Mule Deer, Vernon C. Bleich, Timothy J. Taylor
Survivorship And Cause-Specific Mortality In Five Populations Of Mule Deer, Vernon C. Bleich, Timothy J. Taylor
Great Basin Naturalist
We used retrospective analyses to investigate cause-specific mortality and survivorship among 5 populations of mule deer (N = 168 telemetered animals) wintering in the western Great Basin during 1986–1994. These populations existed under similar environmental conditions, but survivorship functions differed among them. Monthly survival ranged from 0.964 to 0.990, and annual survival ranged from 0.643 to 0.884. The proportion of deaths attributed to predation and malnutrition or anthropogenic causes did not differ among the 5 populations. Predation was the leading cause of mortality; mountain lions were responsible for approximately 90% of the deer killed by predators. No difference existed …

A conservation gap analysis was conducted for the Intermountain Semi-Desert ecoregion to assess the representation of land-cover types within areas managed primarily for biodiversity objectives. Mapped distributions of plant communities were summarized by land-management status categories. The total amount of land permanently protected in the ecoregion is
Winter Macroinvertebrate Communities In Two Montane Wyoming Streams, Christopher M. Pennuto, Frank Denoyelles Jr., Mark A. Conrad, Frank A. Vertucci, Sharon L. Dewey
Winter Macroinvertebrate Communities In Two Montane Wyoming Streams, Christopher M. Pennuto, Frank Denoyelles Jr., Mark A. Conrad, Frank A. Vertucci, Sharon L. Dewey
Great Basin Naturalist
Macroinvertebrate communities were examined on 4 winter dates over a 4-yr period in 2 high-altitude Rocky Mountain streams to document overwintering assemblages potentially experiencing spring acid pulses. Taxa richness values were comparable to other published lists for alpine and montane stream systems despite the fact that most literature reflected summer collections. Mean benthic density ranged from 1406 to 19,734 organisms/m2, and drift rates ranged from 0 to 1740 organisms/100 m3. Benthic collections showed higher taxa richness than drift collections while the Ephemeroptera and Plecoptera occurred in greater proportions in drift than in benthos. The Nemouridae (Plecoptera), …
Chemical And Biological Characteristics Of Desert Rock Pools In Intermittent Streams Of Capitol Reef National Park, Utah, Jill S. Baron, Toben Lafrancois, Boris C. Kondratieff
Chemical And Biological Characteristics Of Desert Rock Pools In Intermittent Streams Of Capitol Reef National Park, Utah, Jill S. Baron, Toben Lafrancois, Boris C. Kondratieff
Great Basin Naturalist
Chemical variability and biological communities of rock pools found in small desert drainage basins of Capitol Reef National Park were characterized over 8 mon in 1994. Neither flooding, drying, nor the presence or absence of surrounding vegetated wetlands had a great effect on chemical composition, which was very dilute and fluctuated somewhat in response to rain events. Neither flooding nor drying affected the composition of biological communities in the pools. Summer storms affected only a few drainages at a time, and only a few study pools of significant volume dried completely during the hot, dry summer. This suggests that only …

Die Stauffacherin Of Washington, D.C. In 1997, Simone Schoch
Swiss American Historical Society Review
This is a brief resume of the history of Die Stauffacherin as the society for Swiss ladies celebrates its 100th year. Die Staujfacherin is the oldest Swiss social society of the Washington, D.C. area. The society was formed at a conference held at the home of Mrs. Emil Holer on January 10th, 1897, under the guidance and leadership of Mr. John Hitz, a former Consul General of Switzerland and dedicated Swiss who worked closely with Alexander Graham Bell in the establishment of the Volta Bureau in Georgetown, Washington D.C., an institution dealing with the problems of the deaf. It is …
Warrior-Club Traditions In Medieval Switzerland, Arnold H. Price
Warrior-Club Traditions In Medieval Switzerland, Arnold H. Price
Swiss American Historical Society Review
This article endeavors to serve as an extension (as well as a confirmation) of my research on the role of warrior clubs during the era of migrations, the so-called Völkerwanderung. In regard to the Völkerwanderung terminology I am relying in this study primarily on the ground-breaking work of the late Hans Georg Wackemagel, whose novel anthropological approach unearthed and analyzed a substantial body of pagan traditions surviving in medieval Helvetia.

Spotted Knapweed Distribution In Stock Camps And Trails Of The Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, W. Andrew Marcus, Gary Milner, Bruce Maxwell
Spotted Knapweed Distribution In Stock Camps And Trails Of The Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, W. Andrew Marcus, Gary Milner, Bruce Maxwell
Great Basin Naturalist
This article documents spotted knapweed (Centaurea maculosa Lam.) in 30 campsites and along 5 trails in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness and assesses the role of disturbance and environmental factors in controlling infestation. Spotted knapweed was present in only 6 of 30 surveyed campsites and limited portions of all 5 trails that were sampled. All spotted knapweed in camps was below 1700 m elevation, in open canopy, and in areas with an opportunity class disturbance ranking of 3 or 4. Overall disturbance levels measured using U.S. Forest Service Site Impact Worksheets (SIWs) did not help predict occurrence of spotted knapweed, although …
Vegetal Change On A Northern Utah Foothill Range In The Absence Of Livestock Grazing Between 1948 And 1982, Dennis D. Austin, Philip J. Urness
Vegetal Change On A Northern Utah Foothill Range In The Absence Of Livestock Grazing Between 1948 And 1982, Dennis D. Austin, Philip J. Urness
Great Basin Naturalist
Reexamination of a semiarid foothill rangeland, first evaluated in 1948, indicated that secondary succession continues to shift toward a perennial grass-forb community formerly dominated by xeric shrubs, particularly big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata spp. vaseyana). The direct role in livestock grazing in establishment and maintenance of shrub-dominant plant communities appears confirmed in the decline of shrubs upon cessation of livestock grazing in summer and continued browsing by mule deer in winter. The reduction of shrub forages on mule deer winter ranges is a major factor in population declines.

Breeding Birds At The Idaho National Engineering And Environmental Laboratory, 1985–1991, James R. Belthoff, Leon R. Powers, Timothy D. Reynolds
Great Basin Naturalist
During the summers of 1985–1991, bird censuses were conducted along 13 permanent routes located at the 2315-km2 Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL, formerly INEL) in southeastern Idaho. The objectives of the surveys were to (1) compare avifauna in and near facility complex sites with remote, relatively undisturbed habitats, (2) identify trends in populations of sagebrush-obligate species and other common shrub-steppe species, and (3) determine the presence, abundance, and population status of species of special concern. Five routes were official U.S. Geological Survey, Biological Resources Division 40.0-km Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) routes (formerly administered by the U.S. Fish …

Bringing To Remembrance: The Trauma Memory Debate, Marleen S. Williams
Issues in Religion and Psychotherapy
Recent focus on memories of abuse that are recalled during therapy has alerted mental health care providers to potential hazards to the client, the therapist, and innocent others. Being aware of current research on how memory works can help reduce these risks. Integrating information from both sides of the debate provides a more accurate understanding of delayed memory recall.

This fictional novella takes place during the narrator Smoot's two-year mission to Melbourne, Australia. It chronicles the intertwining of the lives and destinies of three main characters: Smoot, a Utah native who struggles with carnality and lack of conversion and spirituality; Babakian, an Australian convert who used to be a punk rocker and has become frustrated with Mormonism's blandness and conformity; and Samantha, a nonmember part-Tongan Utahn with whom Smoot was involved before his mission. Speaking generally, the novella is about how Babakian misuses his creative powers of art and sexuality, how Samantha explores the gospel and changes her life, …
Utah's Iosepa, Polynesian Beauty In The Desert, Dennis Atkin
Utah's Iosepa, Polynesian Beauty In The Desert, Dennis Atkin
Mormon Pacific Historical Society
Many of the articles in newspapers, journals and magazines which have been published during the past forty or forty five years about the Polynesian Colony of Iosepa, Skull Valley, Tooele County, Utah, have emphasized extreme sympathy for the colonists. These writers have deplored the bleakness of the location of this town and its immediate surroundings as contrasted with the beautiful green farming lands and towns in other areas of northern Utah. In Skull Valley the farming areas were smaller and the desolate areas were larger than in other places they have seen. In some of the nearby areas of lower …

Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art, Alan D. Manning
Faculty Publications
INSIGHTS about professional communication may come from odd and unexpected places. McCloud's Understanding Comics (hereafter UC) is a case in point. Despite the juvenile connotations evoked by any discussion of comic books, the theory of visual communication presented in UC arguably rivals the best of contemporary semiotics (that is, the study of how we make meaning out of gestures, words, paragraphs, pictures, and so on).

Serge Louis Ballif: A Swiss-American, Jae R. Ballif
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Over a dozen years ago, a young man entered my office. He was a stranger to me. He placed his briefcase on my desk, opened it, and brought out several old books. He talked rapidly, giving me information faster than I could assimilate it. I soon learned that the books were from the shelves of the library at the University of Bern in Switzerland, and that they were written by my ancestors. I also learned that Gabriel Jacob Ballif, my fourth great-grandfather, was the author of one of the books. It is entitled Systematic Physics, and was published in …

Randomly Amplified Polymorphic Dna Analysis (Rapd) Of Artemisia Subgenus Tridentatae Species And Hybrids, E. Durant Mcarthur, Joann Mudge, Renée Van Buren, W. Ralph Andersen, Stewart C. Sanderson, David G. Babbel
Great Basin Naturalist
Species of Artemisia (subgenus Tridentatae) dominate much of western North America. The genetic variation that allows this broad ecological adaptation is facilitated by hybridization and polyploidization. Three separate studies were performed in this group using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Fifty-seven 10-mer primers generated nearly 400 markers from genomic DNA obtained from leaf tissue. These studies were (1) a measure of the variability of plants within and between populations and between subspecies using 5 A. tridentata ssp. wyomingensis populations, 2 A. cana ssp. cana populations, and 1 A. cana ssp. viscidula population; (2) an examination of the hypothesis that …

Habitat Use By Small Mammals In Southeastern Utah, With Reference To Mexican Spotted Owl Management, Maite Sureda, Michael L. Morrison
Habitat Use By Small Mammals In Southeastern Utah, With Reference To Mexican Spotted Owl Management, Maite Sureda, Michael L. Morrison
Great Basin Naturalist
We determined temporal and spatial differences in abundance and habitat use by small mammals in southeastern Utah as part of an effort to enhance management of the Mexican Spotted Owl (Strix occidentalis lucida), listed by the federal government as threatened. Woodrats (Neotoma spp.) were captured only in canyons and most frequently in the pinyon-juniper (Pinus edulis–Juniperus osteosperma) vegetation type. White-footed mice (Peromyscus spp.) were found in a variety of vegetation types in both canyons and mesas. The deer mouse (P. maniculatus) was generally the most frequently captured species among vegetation types. We …

Late Pleistocene Microtine Rodents From Snake Creek Burial Cave, White Pine County, Nevada, Christopher J. Bell, Jim I. Mead
Great Basin Naturalist
A total of 395 microtine rodent specimens recovered from Snake Creek Burial Cave (SCBC) are referred to Microtus sp. and Lemmiscus curtatus. Radiocarbon and Uranium series dates indicated an age for these fossils of between 9460 ± 160 yr. B.P. and 15,100 ± 700 yr. B.P. The sample of lower first molars of Lemmiscus includes 4-, 5-, and 6-closed triangle morphotypes. Earlier reports of the 4-closed triangle morphotype are from Irvingtonian deposits in Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico and from early Rancholabrean deposits in Washington. The morphotype is not known in living populations of Lemmiscus. SCBC specimens constitute …
Bitterbrush (Purshia Tridentata Pursh) Growth In Relation To Browsing, Carl L. Wambolt, W. Wyatt Fraas, Michael R. Frisina
Bitterbrush (Purshia Tridentata Pursh) Growth In Relation To Browsing, Carl L. Wambolt, W. Wyatt Fraas, Michael R. Frisina
Great Basin Naturalist
The objectives of this study were to compare vegetative and reproductive growth characters of bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata Pursh) stands as they relate to browsing levels. Growth characters were measured on 10 ecologically diverse stands in southwestern Montana on which browsing ranged from 0% to 60% of all current annual long shoot (LS) growth. Bitterbrush plants exhibited both twig-level and plant-level responses to browsing. Total bud density per plant was similar for browsed and unbrowsed sites, but differed (P < 0.01) between browsed and unbrowsed twigs. Browsed twigs produced one-half the leaf cluster density produced by unbrowsed twigs. No significant (P < 0.05) relationship between browsing levels on browsed plants and bud densities was found. Length of old-growth twigs per plant was shorter (P < 0.001) on browsed sites than on unbrowsed sites. Burning at 2 environmentally paired sites reduced flower bud density (P < 0.001) 9 and 10 growing seasons later although LS length was not affected. Growth of LS showed a site-by-year interaction (P < 0.05). Our data suggest that long-term unbrowsed plants should not be used as a standard for comparison with normally browsed plants.
