Thomas Hobbes's "A Discourse Of Laws", Noel B. Reynolds Sep 1994

Thomas Hobbes's "A Discourse Of Laws", Noel B. Reynolds

Faculty Publications

The recent discovery that an anonymously published 1620 essay was an early writing of Thomas Hobbes invites investigation of his early thinking. Hobbes relied on mostly classical sources to advance a basically conventionalist theory of law and to anticipate twentieth century analyses of the principles of rule of law such as that made famous by F. A. Hayek.

Nesting And Summer Habitat Use By Translocated Sage Grouse (Centrocercus Urophasianus) In Central Idaho, David D. Musil, Kerry P. Reese, John W. Connelly Aug 1994

Nesting And Summer Habitat Use By Translocated Sage Grouse (Centrocercus Urophasianus) In Central Idaho, David D. Musil, Kerry P. Reese, John W. Connelly

Great Basin Naturalist

We translocated 196 Sage Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus into Sawtooth Valley, Idaho, during March–April 1986–87 to augment a small resident population. Forty-four grouse equipped with radio transmitters were monitored through spring and summer. Nest sites (n = 6) had greater (P = .032) horizontal cover than did independent random plots (n = 7). During summer, grouse used sites (n = 50) with taller live and dead shrub heights, greater shrub canopy cover, and more ground litter (P < .009) than were found on dependent random plots (n = 50) 50–300 m from use sites. Distance to edge and mountain sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata vaseyana …

Brood Habitat Use By Sage Grouse In Oregon, Martin S. Drut, John A. Crawford, Michael A. Gregg Apr 1994

Brood Habitat Use By Sage Grouse In Oregon, Martin S. Drut, John A. Crawford, Michael A. Gregg

Great Basin Naturalist

Habitat use by Sage Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus hens with broods was examined at Jackass Creek and Hart Mountain, Oregon, from 1989 through 1991. Sage Grouse hens initially selected low sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) cover types during early brood-rearing, big sagebrush cover types later in the brood-rearing period, and ultimately concentrated use in and near lakebeds and meadows. Areas used by Sage Grouse broods typically had greater forb frequency than did random sites. Hens at Jackass Creek selected sites with forb cover similar to that generally available at Hart Mountain, but home ranges were larger at Jackass Creek because of …

Resource Overlap Between Mountain Goats And Bighorn Sheep, John W. Laundré Apr 1994

Resource Overlap Between Mountain Goats And Bighorn Sheep, John W. Laundré

Great Basin Naturalist

Mountain goat (Oreamnos americanus) and bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) ranges overlap substantially in northwestern United States and southwestern Canada. Resource overlap in food and habitat parameters is assumed, but the degree of overlap has not been estimated. Data from published separate and comparative studies on food and habitat use were used to calculate indices of resource overlap for goats and sheep. Indices of overlap for general forage classes (grasses, forbs, browse) were >0.90 in summer and winter for data based on pooled data from separate studies and in summer for data for comparative studies. In winter …

Population Structure And Ecological Effects Of The Crayfish Pacifastacus Leniusculus In Castle Lake, California, James J. Elser, Christopher Junge, Charles R. Goldman Apr 1994

Population Structure And Ecological Effects Of The Crayfish Pacifastacus Leniusculus In Castle Lake, California, James J. Elser, Christopher Junge, Charles R. Goldman

Great Basin Naturalist

The recent appearance of the "California crayfish," Pacifastacus leniusculus, in Castle Lake, California, and interest in its potential impacts on the lake ecosystem provided motivation for a study of the population structure and habitat use of this species and its effects on aquatic macrophytes. Mark-recapture studies indicated that the total number of adult (3+ yr or older) crayfish in the lake was ca 10,100 individuals, yielding an estimate of lakewide crayfish density in preferred crayfish habitats of 0.13 adults m−2. Using mean body mass of individuals, we estimated that ambient biomass density was 5.9 g m …

Persistent Pollen As A Tracer For Hibernating Butterflies: The Case Of Hesperia Juba (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae), Amy Berkhousen, Arthur M. Shapiro Feb 1994

Persistent Pollen As A Tracer For Hibernating Butterflies: The Case Of Hesperia Juba (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae), Amy Berkhousen, Arthur M. Shapiro

Great Basin Naturalist

Pollen grains of plants with well-defined flowering seasons may persist on insects through episodes of dormancy, such as hibernation. When readily recognizable and possibly confounding taxa can be excluded, these pollen grains can serve as direct evidence of life-history phenomena that are notoriously difficult to verify in the field. Pollen of the autumn-flowering composite Chrysothamnus nauseosus was used to demonstrate that the common montane skipper, Hesperia juba, hibernates as an adult in Sierra Nevada. This is the first demonstration of adult overwintering in a temperate-zone hesperiid and may represent the smallest butterfly known to overwinter in a cold climate.

Birds Of Northern Black Mesa, Navajo County, Arizona, Charles T. Larue Feb 1994

Birds Of Northern Black Mesa, Navajo County, Arizona, Charles T. Larue

Great Basin Naturalist

Two hundred forty-one species of birds have been identified from northern Black Mesa, Arizona. This region's avifauna was poorly known until the late 1970s when large-scale coal mining began. Vegetation of the region is predominantly Great Basin desert scrub, pinyon-juniper woodland, and mixed-conifer woodland. The latter vegetation supports an assemblage of isolated montane bird species unique to the region. Numerous environmental changes have recently affected the bird life of Black Mesa. These include large-scale type conversions (pinyon-juniper clearing and surface mining), pond construction, and establishment of exotic vegetation.

Effects Of Cobble Embeddedness On The Microdistribution Of The Sculpin Cottus Beldingi And Its Stonefly Prey, Roger J. Haro, Merlyn A. Brusven Feb 1994

Effects Of Cobble Embeddedness On The Microdistribution Of The Sculpin Cottus Beldingi And Its Stonefly Prey, Roger J. Haro, Merlyn A. Brusven

Great Basin Naturalist

Laboratory experiments were undertaken to assess the effects of three levels of cobble embeddedness on the microdistribution of the sculpin Cottus beldingi and its stonefly prey, Skwala Americana. Experiments were conducted separately and together as predator and prey in temperature- and flow-controlled artificial streams. When tested either separately or together, both the predator sculpin and its stonefly prey occurred in significantly greater numbers on substrata having unembedded cobbles than substrata having half- or completely embedded cobbles. Stonefly densities were greater in substrata having unembedded cobbles even though predator densities within the more embedded cobble patches were significantly lower. These …

Of Roof-Rabbits, Rhubarb & Rutabaga, Walter Angst

Swiss American Historical Society Review

As most immigrants, we have readily adopted the main holidays celebrated in the United States. Thus, the family gets together at Thanksgiving for a festive meal. During our last Thanksgiving dinner, my youngest grandson, a first grader, animatedly explained how he participated in a class project. They vigorously shook cream, milk and sugar until they had butter, which was then used in the preparation of their Thanksgiving lunch. This provoked me to relate my experience as a kid about his age in using the "Ankemiili" (butter mill). When I had finished the story, my younger daughter exclaimed: "I never knew …

A Response To David Wright On Historical Criticism, Kevin Christensen Jan 1994

A Response To David Wright On Historical Criticism, Kevin Christensen

Journal of Book of Mormon Studies

In an article criticizing the historicity of the Book of Mormon, David Wright described critical scholarship and traditionalist modes as contrasting paradigms used to approach the scriptures. This article explores the nature of paradigm debate in general, in that context points out weaknesses in Wright's critical approach, and discerns crucial flaws in his definition of believing paradigms.

What's In A Name? Book Of Mormon Language, Names, And [Metonymic] Naming, Gordon C. Thomasson Jan 1994

What's In A Name? Book Of Mormon Language, Names, And [Metonymic] Naming, Gordon C. Thomasson

Journal of Book of Mormon Studies

Anthropological perspectives lend insight on names and on the social and literary function of names in principle and in the Book of Mormon. A discussion of the general function of names in kinship; secret names; and names, ritual, and rites of passage precedes a Latter-day Saint perspective. Names and metonymy are used symbolically. Examples include biblical and Book of Mormon metonymic naming, nomenclature, and taxonomy. Biblical laws of purity form the foundation for a pattern of metonymic associations with the name Lamanite, where the dichotomy of clean/unclean is used to give name to social alienation and pollution.

Brother Brigham Challenges The Saints, Hugh Nibley Jan 1994

Brother Brigham Challenges The Saints, Hugh Nibley

Maxwell Institute Publications

This volume in the collected works of Hugh Nibley features the gifted Latter-day Saint scholar’s reflections on the thoughts of Brigham Young regarding politics, education, leadership, and the environment. Nibley has brought together a priceless collection of the early Mormon leader’s counsel to the Saints of his era—counsel that is still relevant today. Add to these prophetic insights the scholarship and plain speaking that characterize Dr. Nibley’s works and the result is an eye-opening and sobering invitation to reevaluate our priorities.

The timeliness of Brigham’s counsel on these topics will quickly become apparent to readers, as will the unique insights …
