Gray Partridge Foraging Ecology In Eastern South Dakota, Jerry W. Hupp, John T. Ratti, Loren M. Smith
Gray Partridge Foraging Ecology In Eastern South Dakota, Jerry W. Hupp, John T. Ratti, Loren M. Smith
Great Basin Naturalist
We examined crop contents of 217 Gray Partridge (Perdix perdix) collected during a two-year period in eastern South Dakota. Row crop grains (corn, sunflowers) dominated late fall, winter, and spring diets. Small grains (oats, barley, wheat, rye) were rarely consumed although fields of small grains were widely available. During a severe winter when waste row crop grains were buried by snow, partridge consumed more leafy vegetation. Insects dominated the early summer diet, while foxtail (Setaria spp.) seeds were a major late summer and early fall food.
Morphological Characteristics Of Dentostomella Translucida, A Nematode (Oxyuroidea) Found In Mongolian Gerbils, Jea Kim Yi, Richard A. Heckmann
Morphological Characteristics Of Dentostomella Translucida, A Nematode (Oxyuroidea) Found In Mongolian Gerbils, Jea Kim Yi, Richard A. Heckmann
Great Basin Naturalist
Dentostomlla translucida Schulz & Krepkorgorskaja (1932) was found in the small intestine of the Mongolian gerbil, Meriones unguicilatus Milne-Edwards, housed at the small animal center at Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah. Pertinent taxonomical characteristics were studied to differentiate D. translucida from D. kuntzi (Myers 1961) D. grundmanni (Chitwood 1963), D. legerae (Quentin 1975), and D. karachiensis (Bilqees 1978). Dentostomella translucida is distinguished by a large, evenly proportioned body, the presence of five unequaled teeth per esophageal sector, and a spicule tip bifid in ventral view in males. This project included the analysis of the structure and histochemistry of the adult …
Selection Of Microhabitat By The Red-Backed Vole, Clethrionomys Gapperi, Alice P. Wywialowski, Graham W. Smith
Selection Of Microhabitat By The Red-Backed Vole, Clethrionomys Gapperi, Alice P. Wywialowski, Graham W. Smith
Great Basin Naturalist
Clethrionomys gapperi were captured in microhabitats with greater densities of overall cover than at noncapture or random sites within the study area. Variables describing cover density and distance from free water were selected in a discriminant function analysis to differentiate between vole capture and noncapture sites. Vole capture sites had greater amounts of cover within 4 dm above ground surface and were further from standing water than noncapture sites. The preferential use by C. gapperi of microhabitats with greater densities of cover is in agreement with laboratory and field assessments of habitat use reported in the literature.
Relationships Of Aspen (Populus Tremuloides) To Foraging Patterns Of Beaver (Castor Canadensis) In The Strawberry Valley Of Central Utah, William J. Masslich, Jack D. Brotherson, Rex G. Cates
Relationships Of Aspen (Populus Tremuloides) To Foraging Patterns Of Beaver (Castor Canadensis) In The Strawberry Valley Of Central Utah, William J. Masslich, Jack D. Brotherson, Rex G. Cates
Great Basin Naturalist
Eight study sites were examined in Strawberry Valley, Utah, to assess the response of aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) to cutting activities of beaver (Castor Canadensis Warren & Hall) and to determine patterns by which the animals utilize aspen stands. Sites utilized by beaver, along with adjacent control plots in mature, uncut aspen stands, were sampled. Age-class profiles of control plots were composed of a broad age distribution with trees ranging from 3 to 108 years old. Age-class profiles for aspen sprouts in areas previously used by beavers were composed of trees averaging seven years of age with a …
Effects Of Livestock Grazing Exlosure On Aquatic Macroinvertebrates In A Montane Stream, New Mexico, John N. Rinne
Effects Of Livestock Grazing Exlosure On Aquatic Macroinvertebrates In A Montane Stream, New Mexico, John N. Rinne
Great Basin Naturalist
Aquatic macroinvertebrate populations inhabiting reaches of a stream within areas excluded from livestock grazing for a decade were markedly different from those in grazed areas when density, biomass, biotic condition indices, and mean chi square indices of the two populations were compared. Increased densities and biomasses of more tolerant forms of macroinvertebrates were observed in grazed reaches. Because pretreatment data were not available, differences in macroinvertebrate populations and relative tolerances of taxa in grazed and ungrazed areas could be as easily attributed to linear changes in stream habitat as to removal of domestic livestock. Results of this study have implications …
Selection Of Big Sagebrush By Sage Grouse, Bruce L. Welch, Jordan C. Pederson, Ronald L. Rodriguez
Selection Of Big Sagebrush By Sage Grouse, Bruce L. Welch, Jordan C. Pederson, Ronald L. Rodriguez
Great Basin Naturalist
Feeding sites of wintering sage grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) were located, one each in stands of three subspecies of big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata: ssp. tridentata, basin; ssp. vaseyana, mountain; and ssp. Wyomingensis, Wyoming). Evidences of differential use of plants within subspecies were observed. Whole leaves from fed-on and nonfed-on big sagebrush plants were examined for intrasubspecies chemical comparisons of crude protein, phosphorus, in vitro digestibility, and monoterpenoids. No significant differences were detected except for in vitro digestibility of Wyoming fed-on and nonfed-on big sagebrush and monoterpenoid content of basin big sagebrush. Nutritive content of …
Time-Activity Budgets Of Drake Gadwall And Northern Shovelers On Industrial Cooling Ponds During Late Winter And Early Spring In Central Utah, G. Merrill Webb, J. D. Brotherson
Time-Activity Budgets Of Drake Gadwall And Northern Shovelers On Industrial Cooling Ponds During Late Winter And Early Spring In Central Utah, G. Merrill Webb, J. D. Brotherson
Great Basin Naturalist
Time-activity budgets of drake Gadwall and Northern Shoveler ducks were studied in the winter of 1985. Total duck numbers peaked in mid-March. Gadwall numbers increased from late January to mid-March and then declined, while Northern Shoveler numbers declined from late January to mid-February and then increased to mid-March before declining. Behavior categories considered in the time-activity budgets were flying, preening, swimming, courtship, feeding, and resting. Time allocated to these different activities varied for both duck species, with feeding being the only behavior pattern wherein differences were significant. Gadwalls spent 58% of their time feeding. Northern Shovelers only 26%. Possible reasons …
A Fourth New Sauropod Dinosaur From The Upper Jurassic Of The Colorado Plateau And Sauropod Bipedalism, James A. Jensen
A Fourth New Sauropod Dinosaur From The Upper Jurassic Of The Colorado Plateau And Sauropod Bipedalism, James A. Jensen
Great Basin Naturalist
The new sauropod, Cathetosaurus lewisi, is named and assigned to the Camarasauridae; it was collected from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation in western Colorado in 1967. Novel structural features of the skeleton in this genus, particularly in the axial skeleton, enabled it to assume and function to an unknown degree in a bipedal posture. Comparisons are made between C. lewisi and previously described sauropods. The following problems of sauropod locomotion are discussed; (1) sauropods lack two elements, sesamoids and patella, present in titanotheres; (2) sauropod limb and foot musculature, lacking leverage, is very inferior to that of titanotheres; (3) …
Mycophagy Of Red-Backed Voles, Clethrionomys Californicus And C. Gapperi, Chris Maser, Zane Maser
Mycophagy Of Red-Backed Voles, Clethrionomys Californicus And C. Gapperi, Chris Maser, Zane Maser
Great Basin Naturalist
We examined stomach contents of 426 Clethrionomys, 217 C. californicus from western Oregon and 209 C. gapperi from widely scattered areas across North America. Clethrionomys californicus consumed fungi of 28 genera. Clethrionomys gapperi from the Rocky Mountains westward consumed fungi of 23 genera, whereas C. gapperi east of the Rocky Mountains consumed fungi of 7 genera. This study supports the conclusions of an earlier study, limited to Oregon and Washington, that food habits of C. californicus and C. gapperi are more closely related to habitat than to species or subspecies of vole.

Migrating Mormon Crickets, Anabrus Simplex (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae), As Food For Stream Fishes, Harold M. Tyus, W. L. Minckley
Migrating Mormon Crickets, Anabrus Simplex (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae), As Food For Stream Fishes, Harold M. Tyus, W. L. Minckley
Great Basin Naturalist
Migrating bands of Mormon crickets (Ananbrus simplex) were observed crossing the Green and Yampa rivers in Dinosaur National Monument, Colorado and Utah, in 1986 and 1987. Swimming crickets were swept downstream and eaten by four endemic and seven introduced fish species. Included were two endangered fishes, Colorado squawfish (Ptychocheilus lucius) and humpback chub (Gila cypha). Direct and indirect effects to aquatic food webs associated with application of pesticides for Mormon cricket control may pose a threat to these fishes and to man.
Influence Of Ponderosa Pine Overstory On Forage Quality In The Black Hills, South Dakota, Kieth E. Severson, Daniel W. Uresk
Influence Of Ponderosa Pine Overstory On Forage Quality In The Black Hills, South Dakota, Kieth E. Severson, Daniel W. Uresk
Great Basin Naturalist
Forage quality was assessed in pole and sapling ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) stands growing at five stocking levels—0, 5, 14, 23, and unthinned (which approximated 40 m2/ha basal area)—in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Crude protein, acid detergent fiber, acid detergent lignin, ash, calcium, and phosphorus were evaluated for cream peavine (Lathyrus ochroleucus), bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), and timber oatgrass (Danthonia intermedia). Acid detergent fiber, acid detergent lignin, and ash showed some significant differences among growing stock levels for cream peavine growing in sapling stands. Crude protein content of timber …
A Review Of Flea Collection Records From Onychomys Leucogaster With Observations On The Role Of Grasshopper Mice In The Epizoology Of Wild Rodent Plaque, Rex E. Thomas
Great Basin Naturalist
Published records of fleas collected from the northern grasshopper mouse, Onychomys leucogaster, indicate that these mice have a great deal of intimate environmental contact with other rodents or their burrows. Fifty-seven species of fleas have been collected from the omnivorous grasshopper mouse. The range of this mouse overlaps much of the distribution of plague, Yersinia pestis, in the western United States; and nearly one-half of the flea species collected from O. leucogaster are known to be of importance in the epizoology of plague. This article discusses the importance of the association of fleas with a hospitable secondary host …

Agonistic Behavior Of The California Ground Squirrel, Spermophilus Beecheyi, At An Artificial Food Source., Pedro Durant, Jim W. Dole, George F. Fisler
Great Basin Naturalist
Occurrence of agonistic behavior patterns in Spermophilus beecheyi at a concentrated artificial food source was studied. Our data from 851 encounters are compared with previously published information from unmanipulated populations. Eight new behavior patterns (rump block, kick, forward shove, pounce, displacement grooming, circle fight, roll fight, and boxing fight) are described.
Danish Perceptions And West Indian Realities: Slavery In The Danish West Indies, Karen Fog Olwig
Danish Perceptions And West Indian Realities: Slavery In The Danish West Indies, Karen Fog Olwig
The Bridge
The year 1987 marked the 70th anniversary of the sale of the Danish West Indies to the United States of America. With the sale of the three small islands of St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John, Denmark had disposed of all her tropical colonies, which at one time had included possessions on the Gold Coast in Africa, the present Ghana, and in southeastern India, most importantly Trankebar.
Identifying Danish-American Folklife, Gregory Hansen
Identifying Danish-American Folklife, Gregory Hansen
The Bridge
Danish-American ethnicity has traditionally been studied by examining the literature, religion, social and educational institutions, and business enterprises of Danes in America. In general researchers have looked to Fine Arts and Culture to understand the Danish ethnic identity. But examining only Culture and Art yields an incomplete understanding of culture and art. Danish ethnic culture in America consists primarily of the non-elitist traditions and arts of individuals' everyday lives rather than the contributions of the elite, and the discipline of folklore can provide a more complete concept of Danish heritage. Folklife studies involve the stages of identifying, documenting, interpreting, and …

Shakespeare's Romance Of Knowing, Maurice Hunt
Quidditas
From time to time literary critics have claimed that Shakespeare's undisputed last plays—Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale, and The Tempest—are, to varying degrees, concerned with the main characters' learning experiences. These claim range, for example, from Stephen Orgel's aargument that adversity schools Alonso and Prospero in humility to Northrop Frye's assertion that education provides the means for the protagonists of the last plays to recover some sort of paradise. In other words, critics over the years have claimed in different ways that the last plays are either educational or epistemological romances. And yet no one, to my …
