Freshwater Sponges (Porifera: Spongillidae) Of Western Montana, Susan H. Barton, John S. Addis
Freshwater Sponges (Porifera: Spongillidae) Of Western Montana, Susan H. Barton, John S. Addis
Great Basin Naturalist
Between May 1992 and April 1996, freshwater sponges (Porifera: Spongillidae) were collected at 24 sites, distributed among 6 sub-major drainage basins in western Montana, to determine the species present. Water samples also were analyzed from 16 of these sites and from 9 sites at which no sponges were detected to characterize sponge habitats chemically. Three species of sponges were identified: Ephydatia muelleri (Em), Eunapius fragilis (Ef), and Spongilla lacustris (Sl). A 4th type of specimen was present at 2 sites but could not be identified because of the absence of gemmules and gemmoscleres. At 46% of the sites containing sponges, …
Boggy Meadows, Livestock Grazing, And Interspecific Interactions: Influences On The Insular Distribution Of Montane Lincoln's Sparrows (Melospiza Lincolnii Alticola), Carla Cicero
Great Basin Naturalist
I surveyed 34 meadows in California and Oregon to count Lincoln's Sparrows (Melospiza lincolnii alticola) and to identify habitat features that might influence their local, insular occurrence. Lincoln's Sparrows were most common in wet meadows with little damage by grazing. Singing males were concentrated in flooded or boggy areas near meadow edges, where pines (Pinus sp.) provided elevated perches for singing and vigilance. Patches of willows (Salix sp.) were often present nearby. Numbers of male Lincoln's Sparrows were strongly and negatively correlated with abundance of sympatric Song Sparrows (M. melodia fisherella). Lincoln's Sparrows breeding …
Winter Survey Of Raptors With Notes On Avian Scavengers In Northwestern Colorado, Donald L. Beaver, Jan J. Roth
Winter Survey Of Raptors With Notes On Avian Scavengers In Northwestern Colorado, Donald L. Beaver, Jan J. Roth
Great Basin Naturalist
Winter populations of raptors and scavengers were surveyed along 175 km of rural roads in Moffat County, northwestern Colorado. The survey began in 1988 and is currently continuing. Over the 7 yr of the survey reported here, we found Golden Eagles in high abundance (x̄ = 5.8 km/eagle) compared to most studies in similar habitat. Bald Eagles were less abundant, but increasing compared to 20 yr earlier. American Rough-legged Hawks were in low abundance, probably due to the predominance of sagebrush habitat along the route. Northern Ravens were seen in low numbers in 4 yr. American Crows were seen …
Density, Distribution, And Habitat Of Flammulated Owls In Idaho, Craig Groves, Terry Frederick, Glenn Frederick, Eric Atkinson, Melonie Atkinson, Jay Shepherd, Gregg Servheen
Density, Distribution, And Habitat Of Flammulated Owls In Idaho, Craig Groves, Terry Frederick, Glenn Frederick, Eric Atkinson, Melonie Atkinson, Jay Shepherd, Gregg Servheen
Great Basin Naturalist
From 1990 to 1992 we surveyed for Flammulated Owls (Otus flammeolus) in 3 areas in Idaho: Salmon National Forest (SNF), Payette National Forest and adjacent Hells Canyon National Recreation Area (PNF-HCNRA), and Nez Perce National Forest (NPNF). We also collected and summarized information on all historic and modern records of Flammulated Owls in Idaho. Flammulated Owls were detected on 65% of 68 routes (2–16 km in length) surveyed at densities ranging from 0.04 to 1.25 singing males/40 ha. Owls were detected on survey routes as early as 10 May and as late as 23 July. Mean percent canopy …
Den And Relocation Site Characteristics And Home Ranges Of Peromyscus Truei In The White Mountains Of California, Linnea S. Hall, Michael L. Morrison
Den And Relocation Site Characteristics And Home Ranges Of Peromyscus Truei In The White Mountains Of California, Linnea S. Hall, Michael L. Morrison
Great Basin Naturalist
We used radio telemetry to describe nighttime movements and daytime den sites of pinyon mice (Peromyscus truei) in the White Mountains of California, 1991–1993. Characteristics of nighttime relocations and den sites for mice concurred with previously reported habitat-use information for the species and supported the claim that pinyon mice use multiple daytime sites. However, males and females were associated with different habitat characteristics at den sites, indicating differential microhabitat selection by the sexes, perhaps related to reproductive constraints on females. Pinyon mice also exhibited high variability in den site habitat use in the summer, but low variability in …
Winter Habitat Selection By Reintroduced Pronghorn On Antelope Island, Great Salt Lake, Utah, Melissa J. Kilgore, W. Sue Fairbanks
Winter Habitat Selection By Reintroduced Pronghorn On Antelope Island, Great Salt Lake, Utah, Melissa J. Kilgore, W. Sue Fairbanks
Great Basin Naturalist
The recent and future introduction of several ungulate species on Antelope Island necessitates knowledge of habitat use by each species. In this study habitat preferences of reintroduced pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) on Antelope Island were evaluated during February–March 1993 and January–March 1994. Elevation, slope, physiography, aspect, and habitat type of sites used by pronghorn were compared to similar data collected from random points. During the severe winter of 1993, pronghorn preferred terrain that was 1281–1380 m in elevation and was relatively flat or at the base of a hill. Slopes greater than 30% were avoided. South-facing slopes were preferred; …

Diplostomiasis In Native And Introduced Fishes From Yellowstone Lake, Wyoming, Victor H. Inchausty, Michael Foutz, Richard A. Heckmann, Claudete Ruas, Paulo Ruas
Great Basin Naturalist
Totals of 101 native Yellowstone cutthroat (Oncorhynchus clarki bouvieri), 27 introduced lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush), and 40 introduced longnose sucker (Catostomus catostomus) from Yellowstone Lake, Wyoming, USA, were examined for eye flukes. Metacercariae of the trematode fluke Diplostomum were in vitreous humor and/or lens of 94% of Yellowstone cutthroat trout, 92% of lake trout, and 78% of longnose sucker. Longnose sucker had 7% prevalence of infection in both lens and vitreous humor of metacercariae, while Yellowstone cutthroat trout had 3% and lake trout 8%. Diplostomum spathaceum was in lens tissue of 5% of infected …

Sociological Paradigms And Civilizational Studies: Complementary Contributions Of E. A. Ross And P. S. Sorokin, Lawrence T. Nichols
Sociological Paradigms And Civilizational Studies: Complementary Contributions Of E. A. Ross And P. S. Sorokin, Lawrence T. Nichols
Comparative Civilizations Review
This paper argues that the theories of Edward A. Ross and Pitirim A. Sorokin have more in common than is generally realized and documents unrecognized reciprocal influences between the two scholars. Ross developed a social-psychological reading of history emphasizing externally induced change; while Sorokin championed a cultural interpretation grounded in the concepts of immanent causation and the principle of limits. Closer examination, however, shows that Sorokin’s theory of creative altruism resembles Ross’s linear evolutionism. The complementary emphases of the paradigms are consistent with the contexts in which the theorists trained: Ross expresses youthful American optimism while Sorokin articulates the stoicism …

Human Trampling Effects On Regeneration And Age Structures Of Pinus Edulis And Juniperus Monosperma, Alex S. Tonnesen, James J. Ebersole
Human Trampling Effects On Regeneration And Age Structures Of Pinus Edulis And Juniperus Monosperma, Alex S. Tonnesen, James J. Ebersole
Great Basin Naturalist
We examined effects of human foot traffic on age structures and densities of seedlings and saplings of Pinus edulis (Colorado pinyon) and Junisperus monosperma (one-seed juniper) in a heavily used urban park, Garden of the Gods, Colorado. Age structures show no stand-destroying disturbances, but they do contain small peaks 85–95 yr ago (minimum age), which have been interpreted as responses to heavy grazing. For Pinus edulis reverse J-shaped age structures indicate a strongly reproducing population, while flat age structures of J. monosperma show low present reproduction. Young trees showed strong preferences for establishing under existing trees and shrubs and not …

Distribution And Abundance Of Native Bonneville Cutthroat Trout (Oncorhynchus Clarki Utah) In Southwestern Utah, Dale K. Hepworth, Michael J. Ottenbacher, Louis N. Berg
Distribution And Abundance Of Native Bonneville Cutthroat Trout (Oncorhynchus Clarki Utah) In Southwestern Utah, Dale K. Hepworth, Michael J. Ottenbacher, Louis N. Berg
Great Basin Naturalist
The Bonneville cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki utah; BCT) was once abundant throughout the Bonneville Basin. In southwestern Utah, however, only 3 local populations of the subspecies were known to exist in 1977, when conservation efforts to protect and replicate them began. By 1995 remnant populations were known in 6 streams, and replicate populations had been established in an additional 16. Populations of BCT in southwestern Utah streams were surveyed by electrofishing in 1994 and 1995 to describe the subspecies' status. Estimated densities of age-1 and older BCT ranged from 118 to 546 fish per km. Biomass estimates ranged …

Environmental variables included latitude, longitude, elevation, slope, aspect, topographic position, parent material, percent rock cover, mean rock size, litter depth, estimated plot age class, and evidence of anthropogenic disturbance. Soils were analyzed for texture, depth, and percent carbon and nitrogen. Pinus aristata foliage was analyzed for percent nitrogen and phosphorus. Direct and indirect gradient analyses …
Dispersal Characteristics Of The Yucca Weevil (Scyphophorus Yuccae) In A Flowering Field Of Yucca Whipplei, Travis E. Huxman, Kimberly A. Huxman, Marc R. Stamer
Dispersal Characteristics Of The Yucca Weevil (Scyphophorus Yuccae) In A Flowering Field Of Yucca Whipplei, Travis E. Huxman, Kimberly A. Huxman, Marc R. Stamer
Great Basin Naturalist
Dispersal characteristics were measured for a population of yucca weevils (Scyphophorus yuccae) in a plot consisting of flowering and nonflowering Yucca whipplei. We compared weevil dispersal to yucca distribution, phenology, and caudex temperature. We also compared weevil movement to wind patterns and time of day. Captured weevils were marked and released into both flowering and nonflowering home plants in the field. Distance traveled, weevil flight direction, and target plant characteristics were recorded. We found that yucca weevils moved only between 1600 h on the release day and 0600 h of the following day. We recorded movement from …

Mari Sandoz: Portrait Of A Swiss American Author, Laura Villiger
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Land of Promise, where the gold flows, where buffaloes roam in big herds attracting adventurous hunters, where Redskins are chased and defeated by cowboy heroes-these are some of the ideas people in the 19th century commonly held about the American West. Even today, the Old West is often associated with the same pictures. But we also know today that these pictures largely belonged to a myth--a myth propagated in Europe as well as in the so-called 'civilized' East of the American continent. It helped to take hold of the Western territory not only in people's minds, but also in reality.
