Botanical Content Of Black-Tailed Jackrabbit Diets On Semidesert Rangeland, Tchouassi Wansi, Rex D. Pieper, Reldon F. Beck, Leigh W. Murray Dec 1992

Botanical content of black-tailed jackrabbit diets was determined by microhistological examination of fecal samples collected from six different vegetation types in southern New Mexico on three dates. Grasses comprised the largest component of the jackrabbit diets, with dropseed species (Sporobolus spp.) and black grama (Bouteloua eriopoda) the most abundant grasses in the diets. Leatherweed croton (Croton pottsii) and silverleaf nightshade (Solanum elaeagnifolium) were important forbs on most vegetation types. Diet composition varied in response to season and vegetation type. Grasses were important during the summer growing season, while forbs were selected during their …

Winter Nutrient Content And Deer Use Of Gambel Oak Twigs In North Central Utah, Rosemary L. Pendleton, Fred J. Wagstaff, Bruce L. Welch Dec 1992

Winter Nutrient Content And Deer Use Of Gambel Oak Twigs In North Central Utah, Rosemary L. Pendleton, Fred J. Wagstaff, Bruce L. Welch

Great Basin Naturalist

---

We examined winter nutritional quality of current-year bud and stem tissues from burned and unburned stands of Gambel oak (Quercus gambelii Nutt.). Nutritional analyses were based on the amount of forage consumed by wintering mule deer. Deer use along the Utah Valley foothills averaged 6.25–10.7 cm of current-year growth. Of the tissues examined, post-fire bud tissue had the highest nutrient content, with a mean of 9.51% crude protein, 0.19% phosphorus, and 34.0% in vitro digestibility. Composite values (bud + stem) for unburned stands were slightly higher in crude protein and phosphorus and lower in digestibility than those reported in …

Vascular Flora Of Kane Lake Cirque, Pioneer Mountains, Idaho, Robert K. Moseley, Susan Bernatas Dec 1992

Vascular Flora Of Kane Lake Cirque, Pioneer Mountains, Idaho, Robert K. Moseley, Susan Bernatas

Great Basin Naturalist

---

Kane Lake Cirque lies in the western Pioneer Mountains of south central Idaho. An inventory of the high elevation flora of the cirque revealed the presence of 180 vascular taxa representing 95 genera and 30 families. Five alpine taxa are here documented from Idaho for the first time: Carex incurviformis Mack., Draba fladnizensis Wilfen., Potentilla nivea L., Ranunculus gelidus Kar. & Kir., and Ranunculus pygmaeus Wahlenb. Kane Lake Cirque also contains populations of four additional alpine taxa considered to be of conservation concern in Idaho: Erigeron humilis Graham, Parnassia kotzebuei Cham., Saxifraga adscendens L., and Saxifraga cernua L.

Mushroom Consumption (Mycophagy) By North American Cervids, Karen L. Launchbaugh, Philip J. Urness Dec 1992

Mushroom Consumption (Mycophagy) By North American Cervids, Karen L. Launchbaugh, Philip J. Urness

Great Basin Naturalist

---

Native mushrooms play an important, though often underestimated, role in deer, elk, and caribou diets in North America. Mushrooms are often noted as an unusual or anomalous food in the diets of cervids; yet they often dominate diets in the late summer and fall in forested areas of western North America and throughout the year in the southeastern U.S. Mushrooms are particularly high in protein (16–19%), phosphorus (average 0.75%), and potassium (average 2%). Also, mushroom production is generally greatest in fall. Therefore, they are a highly nutritious food in late season when other native forages may marginally meet basal nutrient …

Five species of the coccidian genus Eimeria (E. beecheyi [prevalence = 17.9%], E. callospermophili-morainensis[28.6%], E. larimerensis [16.1%], and E. bilamellata [3.6%]) were recovered from 56, 13-lined ground squirrels (Spermophilus tridicemlineatus) collected from two sites in eastern Wyoming. Two squirrels from one site were also passing an unidentified polysporocystic coccidian. Infected squirrels were found to harbor from one to three species simultaneously. Previously these same eimerian species were found infecting sympatric populations of Wyoming ground squirrels. (Spermophilus elegans) and white-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys leucurus) at one of the sites; it is suggested that …

Can Townsend's Ground Squirrels Survive On A Diet Of Exotic Annuals?, Eric Yensen, Dana L. Quinney Dec 1992

Can Townsend's Ground Squirrels Survive On A Diet Of Exotic Annuals?, Eric Yensen, Dana L. Quinney

Great Basin Naturalist

---

Southwestern Idaho desert shrub-bunchgrass rangeland is being invaded by fire-prone exotic annuals that permanently dominate the landscape following wildfires. This study was undertaken to describe diets of Townsend's ground squirrels (Spermophilus townsendii idahoensis) at four study sites with varying degrees of exotic annual invasion to determine if the squirrels could utilize high proportions of exotic annuals in their diets. Townsend's ground squirrels were collected in March and May of 1987 and 1988, and stomach contents were analyzed using a microhistological technique. Grasses comprised 37–87% of Townsend's ground squirrel diets at the four sites. Native species, especially Sandberg's bluegrass …

Moapa dace (Moapa coriacea) is a federally listed endangered fish endemic to the spring-fed headwaters of the Muddy River, Clark County, Nevada. Species life history, abundance, and distribution were studied from March 1984 to January 1989. Reproduction, which was observed year-round, peaked in spring and was lowest in fall. It occurred in headwater tributaries of the Muddy River within 150 m of warm water spring discharge in water temperatures ranging from 30 to 32 C. Females matured between 41 and 45 mm in fork length (FL). Egg abundance increased with female size (r² = .93); counts …
