Home Range And Activity Patterns Of Black-Tailed Jackrabbits, Graham W. Smith Oct 1990

Home Range And Activity Patterns Of Black-Tailed Jackrabbits, Graham W. Smith

Great Basin Naturalist

Home range use and activity patterns of black-tailed jackrabbits (Lepus californicus) in northern Utah were studied using telemetry. Home range sizes ranged from < 1 km2 to 3 km2 and did not differ between sexes or among seasons. Jackrabbits were inactive during daylight, became active at dusk, and remained active throughout the night. Animals often traversed their home ranges in a few hours. During the breeding season, males were more active than females. Jackrabbits were most active during well-lit nights, and high winds decreased jackrabbit activity.

Management Of Endangered Sonoran Topminnow At Bylas Springs, Arizona: Description, Critique, And Recommendations, Paul C. Marsh, W. L. Minckley Oct 1990

Management Of Endangered Sonoran Topminnow At Bylas Springs, Arizona: Description, Critique, And Recommendations, Paul C. Marsh, W. L. Minckley

Great Basin Naturalist

Efforts between 1982 and 1990 have failed to recover and secure three natural populations of endangered Sonoran topminnow (Poeciliopsis o. occidentalis) at Bylas Springs, Arizona. Flooding in the Gila River in 1977–78 allowed ingress by predatory mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis), and topminnows began to decline. Since that time (1) one stock has been replaced twice and is again nearly gone because of depredations by mosquitofish that resisted two eradication attempts; (2) topminnows at a second spring were extirpated through vegetation encroachment after fencing to protect the habitat from livestock; and (3) a third population was lost to …

Conservation Status Of Threatened Fishes In Warner Basin, Oregon, Jack E. Williams, Mark A. Stern, Alan V. Munhall, Gary A. Anderson Oct 1990

Conservation Status Of Threatened Fishes In Warner Basin, Oregon, Jack E. Williams, Mark A. Stern, Alan V. Munhall, Gary A. Anderson

Great Basin Naturalist

Two federally listed fishes, the Foskett speckled dace and Warner sucker, are endemic to Warner Basin in south central Oregon. The Foskett speckled dace is native only to a single spring in Coleman Valley. A nearby spring was stocked with dace in 1979 and 1980, and now provides a second population. The present numbers of dace probably are at their highest levels since settlement of the region. The Warner sucker historically occurred throughout much of the Warner Valley, but its distribution and abundance have been reduced by construction of reservoirs and irrigation dams and the introduction of predatory game fishes. …

The Exodus Pattern In The Book Of Mormon, S. Kent Brown Jul 1990

The Exodus Pattern In The Book Of Mormon, S. Kent Brown

BYU Studies

S. Kent Brown compares the exodus events that occur in the Book of Mormon to the exodus of the Israelites out of Egypt. He compares the Nephite bondage to the exodus as well, suggesting that the Book of Mormon figure Alma the Elder is a type of Moses. He links the exodus typologically to the effects of Jesus' atonement. Finally, he cites the exodus a proof of the power of God and his ability to fulfill his promises.

Using The Original Land Survey Notes To Reconstruct Presettlement Landscapes In The American West, S. M. Galatowitsch Jun 1990

Using The Original Land Survey Notes To Reconstruct Presettlement Landscapes In The American West, S. M. Galatowitsch

Great Basin Naturalist

Rectangular surveys completed between 1796 and 1925 by the General Land Office have frequently been used in the eastern and central U.S. to determine land cover prior to European settlement. These survey notes are less often used in the western U.S., although they are the only site-specific presettlement records available in many areas. Recent efforts to restore riparian and grassland habitats require an understanding of the conditions of these sites before settlement. General Land Office Survey notes provide a description of each township, including water supplies, timber resources, and agricultural potential. The width and course of rivers and streams were …

Taxonomy And Variation Of The Lopidea Nigridia Complex Of Western North America (Heteroptera: Miridae, Orthotylinae), Adam Asquith Jun 1990

Taxonomy And Variation Of The Lopidea Nigridia Complex Of Western North America (Heteroptera: Miridae, Orthotylinae), Adam Asquith

Great Basin Naturalist

External morphological variation in the Lopidea nigridia "complex" of western North America was examined using principal component analysis and showed continuous variation among populations in most characters. External morphology did not parallel paramere structure and did not substantiate previously recognized species. There was little correlation between dorsal coloration and paramere structure. Cluster analysis (UPGMA) using paramere and color characters failed to group populations coded as the same species and also failed to group all specimens of any one population. The variation in structure of the parameres and vesicae among populations of the nigridia complex was no greater than the interpopulational …

Lower Goshen: Archaeology Of A Mormon Pioneer Town, Dale L. Berge Apr 1990

Lower Goshen: Archaeology Of A Mormon Pioneer Town, Dale L. Berge

BYU Studies

Lower Goshen, three miles northwest of present-day Goshen, Utah, was a Mormon pioneer town. Lower Goshen was settled in 1860 and abandoned by the end of the decade. The town lay undisturbed for nearly 120 years. The article discusses the artifacts found there and attempts to put together an image of life as a pioneer in Utah. Everything from glass bottles and bottle stops to log cabins, jewelry to military buttons, were found in the archaeological dig.

Seed Production And Seedling Establishment Of A Southwest Riparian Tree, Arizona Walnut (Juglans Major), Juliet C. Stromberg, Duncan T. Patten Mar 1990

Seed Production And Seedling Establishment Of A Southwest Riparian Tree, Arizona Walnut (Juglans Major), Juliet C. Stromberg, Duncan T. Patten

Great Basin Naturalist

A four-year study of five populations has revealed influences on seed production and seedling establishment of the Southwest riparian tree Juglans major. Germination is abundant after production of large seed crops (masts), but masts are produced infrequently. Within years, germination is stimulated by summer rains, enabling seedlings to establish on riparian terraces as well as streambanks. Traits such as capacity for dormancy during summer drought allow some seedlings to survive on terraces, but abundant rainfall is essential for high rates of seedling success. Ranges of moisture tolerance vary among seeds collected from different populations, suggesting that ecotypes may exist …

Forage Quality Of Rillscale (Atriplex Suckleyi) Grown On Amended Bentonite Mine Spoil, Marguerite E. Voorhees Mar 1990

Forage Quality Of Rillscale (Atriplex Suckleyi) Grown On Amended Bentonite Mine Spoil, Marguerite E. Voorhees

Great Basin Naturalist

At peak standing crop, rillscale (Atriplex suckleyi) foliage grown on amended bentonite mine spoil contained adequate digestible energy, crude protein, and all mineral elements except phosphorus necessary for cattle, sheep, antelope, and deer. Amendments (sawdust, NPK, gypsum) generally did not affect forage quality. Iron, manganese, aluminum, sodium, and potassium concentrations were high and may have adversely affected forage quality. Forage utility would be limited to a few months during the growing season.

Summer Food Habits Of Coyotes In Idaho's River Of No Return Wilderness Area, Charles L. Elliott, Richard Guetig Mar 1990

Summer Food Habits Of Coyotes In Idaho's River Of No Return Wilderness Area, Charles L. Elliott, Richard Guetig

Great Basin Naturalist

Summer food habits of coyotes (Canis latrans)in the River of No Return Wilderness Area, Idaho, were determined. Analysis of 51 scats (fecal samples) revealed that Columbian ground squirrels (Spermophilus columbianus), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), and deer mice (Peromyscus manniculatus) exhibited the greatest frequency of occurrence for identified food items, being detected in 57%, 27%, and 16%, respectively, of scats examined.

Form And Dispersion Of Mima Mounds In Relation To Slope Steepness And Aspect On The Columbia Plateau, George W. Cox Mar 1990

Form And Dispersion Of Mima Mounds In Relation To Slope Steepness And Aspect On The Columbia Plateau, George W. Cox

Great Basin Naturalist

Patterned ground consisting of Mima-type earth mounds and associated sorted stone circles and nets is widespread on the Columbia Plateau of western North America. Studies of the geometric relationships of mounds and stone nets to slope aspect and steepness were carried out at the Lawrence Memorial Grassland Preserve, north central Oregon in June 1987. Mound and moundfield characteristics were sampled on randomly chosen 1-ha plots on slopes of different aspect and steepness. Mounds were largest, most circular and symmetrical in form, and most fully encircled by beds of size-sorted stones on level sites. On slopes of increasing steepness, mounds decreased …

Esox Lucius (Esocidae) And Stizostedion Vitreum (Percidae) In The Green River Basin, Colorado And Utah, Harold M. Tyus, James M. Beard Mar 1990

Esox Lucius (Esocidae) And Stizostedion Vitreum (Percidae) In The Green River Basin, Colorado And Utah, Harold M. Tyus, James M. Beard

Great Basin Naturalist

Northern pike, Esox lucius, stocked in the Yampa River in 1977, invaded the mainstream Green River by 1981 and subsequently increased in range and abundance. The speed of this invasion is indicated by two recaptured pike that moved 78 and 110 km, respectively, downstream in about one year. Pike stomachs (n = 123) were usually empty (54.5%), but some contained fish (43%) and nonfish items (2.4%). Red shiner, Notropis lutrensis, and fathead minnow, Pimephales promelas, predominated among the 12 fish species eaten. Walleye, Stizostedion vitreum, presumably introduced to the Green River drainage in the 1960s, was …
