Habitat Manipulation For Reestablishment Of Utah Prairie Dogs In Capitol Reef National Park, Rodney L. Player, Philip J. Urness Dec 1982

Habitat Manipulation For Reestablishment Of Utah Prairie Dogs In Capitol Reef National Park, Rodney L. Player, Philip J. Urness

Great Basin Naturalist

Utah prairie dogs were transplanted onto the site of a former colony, located in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah. Shrubs on the site were significantly taller than those found on active colonies in similar habitat located on the Awapa Plateau. Therefore, the transplant site afforded a test of the hypothesis that shrub height is a major inhibitory factor affecting occupation of sites by prairie dogs. Four sites of 5 ha each were used. Vegetation treatments—rotobeating, railing, and 2,4-D herbicide—were carried out on three of the sites and the fourth was used as a control. Shrub height and percent cover were …

The Raccoon, Procyon Iotor, In Wyoming, E. Blake Hart Dec 1982

The Raccoon, Procyon Iotor, In Wyoming, E. Blake Hart

Great Basin Naturalist

Recent distribution maps show raccoon as occupying only the extreme eastern-northeastern portion of Wyoming. However, there is substantial evidence that raccoon are common throughout Wyoming and currently inhabit all the major and many of the minor drainages throughout Wyoming.

Early Development Of The Razorback Sucker, Xyrauchen Texanus (Abbott), W. L. Minckley, Eric S. Gustafson Dec 1982

Early Development Of The Razorback Sucker, Xyrauchen Texanus (Abbott), W. L. Minckley, Eric S. Gustafson

Great Basin Naturalist

Fertilized ova of razorback sucker, Xyrauchen texanus, were adhesive for 3 to 4 hours after fertilization. Cleavage was completed at 24 hours, gastrulation occurred at 34 hours, and blood circulation was established at 117 hours. Hatching occurred from 5.2 to 5.5 days after fertilization. Larvae were from 6.8 to 7.3 mm TL at hatching. Yolk was assimilated at 13 days (10 mm TL). All fins were formed and had ossified rays at 64 days (27 mm TL). The unique nuchal keel appeared about 200 days after fertilization.

Vegetal Responses And Big Game Values After Thinning Regenerating Lodgepole Pine, D. D. Austin, Philip J. Urness Dec 1982

Vegetal Responses And Big Game Values After Thinning Regenerating Lodgepole Pine, D. D. Austin, Philip J. Urness

Great Basin Naturalist

Understory vegetal response was found to significantly increase with the degree of thinning in an early regenerating, dense stand of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta). The value of the increased vegetation for deer and elk was determined to be important through comparisons with known dietary and habitat preferences.

Behavior And Habitat Preferences Of Ring-Necked Pheasants During Late Winter In Central Utah, Jeffrey G. Skousen, Jack D. Brotherson Dec 1982

Behavior And Habitat Preferences Of Ring-Necked Pheasants During Late Winter In Central Utah, Jeffrey G. Skousen, Jack D. Brotherson

Great Basin Naturalist

Ring-necked pheasant behavior and habitat preferences were studied during late February along benches of the Wasatch Mountains in central Utah. Seven behavioral categories were used to classify pheasant activities during three time periods of the day. Eating, alert, and movement behavior were the most frequent activities during all periods of the day. Significant differences (p < .01) were found between morning and midday behavior and between midday and evening behavior. Pheasants fed in open areas during morning hours then retreated into heavy cover during midday periods. The birds remained in heavy cover until late afternoon. Pheasants then moved away from heavy cover into semiopen areas to feed as evening approached.

Toward An Understanding Of The Heart -- A Scriptural And Psychological Perspective, Paul F. Cook Oct 1982

Toward An Understanding Of The Heart -- A Scriptural And Psychological Perspective, Paul F. Cook

Issues in Religion and Psychotherapy

The word heart was used by the Hebrews and Greeks as an equivalent of our modern words of mind, emotion, will and personality. The Lord who revealed his ideas about the heart anciently has continued to use this word in modern revelations, thus raising the possibility that it is still useful to us. This paper defines heart, examines seven ways a treasure is established in the heart, and draws implications for a theory of personality and psychotherapy. Recommendations for research are also included.

Prevalence Of Elaeophora Schneideri And Onchocerca Cervipedis In Mule Deer From Central Utah, Lauritz A. Jensen, Jordan C. Pederson, Ferron L. Andersen Sep 1982

Prevalence Of Elaeophora Schneideri And Onchocerca Cervipedis In Mule Deer From Central Utah, Lauritz A. Jensen, Jordan C. Pederson, Ferron L. Andersen

Great Basin Naturalist

Thirteen of 265 deer (4.9 percent) from central Utah were positive for Elaeophora schneideri, and 180 (67.9 percent) were infected with Onchocerca cervipedis. The rate of infection for E. schneideri and O. cervipedis increased significantly with age of the host (chi-square of 17.5 and 15.5, respectively, p < 0.005). The lack of elaeophorosis in elk from the region is presumably due to the low density of the parasite in mule deer.

Species-Habitat Relationships In An Oregon Cold Desert Lizard Community, David F. Werschkul Sep 1982

Species-Habitat Relationships In An Oregon Cold Desert Lizard Community, David F. Werschkul

Great Basin Naturalist

The abundance and diversity of lizards in nine habitat types from Oregon were studied from May through October 1980. Eight species were from eight habitat types. The most common species were Sceloporous occidentalis, Uta stansburiana, Sceloporous graciosus, and Cnemidophorus tigris. Phynosoma douglassi was uncommon and Eumeces skiltonianus was not observed. Temporary streams in nonbasaltic areas were the most productive habitat in terms of lizard abundance but sagebrush areas were the most productive habitat in terms of species diversity. No lizards were recorded from grassland conversion areas. The conflict between a land management policy that emphasizes both vegetation conversion and conservation …

Buccal Floor Of Reptiles, A Summary, Wilmer W. Tanner, David F. Avery Sep 1982

Buccal Floor Of Reptiles, A Summary, Wilmer W. Tanner, David F. Avery

Great Basin Naturalist

A general survey of the information presently available on the osteology and myology of the hyobranchial apparatus. Included in the survey are examples of the hyobranchial skeleton of the major groups of reptiles, including the Chelonia, Crocodilia, Rhynchocephalia, and Squamata. The myology treats the muscles directly associated with the hyoid as well as those associated with the functioning of the apparatus, but not arising or inserted directly on or from the hyoid. The innervation of the hyobranchial apparatus is reviewed and briefly discussed based on the information available in a few major studies. An attempt is made to cite all …

Nest Site Selection In Raptor Communities Of The Eastern Great Basin Desert, Dwight G. Smith, Joseph R. Murphy Sep 1982

Nest Site Selection In Raptor Communities Of The Eastern Great Basin Desert, Dwight G. Smith, Joseph R. Murphy

Great Basin Naturalist

Measures of niche breadth and overlap were used to compare nest site selection in a community of 10 raptor species and the Raven nesting in the eastern Great Basin Desert. Three variables were examined: nest site type, elevation, and exposure. Results suggest a division of component raptor species into relatively abundant core species that show wide niche breadths and uncommon fringe species with narrow niche breadths. Differences in use of each resource are most pronounced along elevation gradient in which three guilds are evident that correspond to raptor species groupings that nest at higher, middle, and lower elevations. Each guild …

Food Consumption An Distribution: An Overview, Dyaa Abdou, B. Gardner Delworth Aug 1982

Food Consumption An Distribution: An Overview, Dyaa Abdou, B. Gardner Delworth

Faculty Publications

Nearly everyone concedes that Egypt is faced with a serious food problem. The Egyptian agricultural sector is unable to feed the increasing and more affluent population. In 1980, agricultural output was estimated to be increasing by about 2.0 percent annually, whereas the country's annual population growth rate was estimated at about 2.3 percent. If the difference in these growth rates continues, Egypt must increase imports each year just to maintain per capita consumption at the present level [3].

Utah Plant Types—Historical Perspective 1840 To 1981—Annotated List, And Bibliography, Stanley L. Welsh Jun 1982

Utah Plant Types—Historical Perspective 1840 To 1981—Annotated List, And Bibliography, Stanley L. Welsh

Great Basin Naturalist

Reviewed are the 144 collectors and 167 authors of 1073 Utah vascular plant types for the period from 1840 to 1981. Historical perspective yields evidence of geography of collection activities by botanists who penetrated the boundaries of the state, and of shifting centers of emphasis in the study of Utah plants from a classical taxonomic standpoint. Philosophy and influence of contemporary authors and collectors is discussed as they affect taxonomy of Utah plants in our first 142 years. A short biographical account of Marcus Eugene Jones and his interaction with other American botanists is included. The annotated checklist includes bibliographical …

Vegetation Of The Mima Mounds Of Kalsow Prairie, Iowa, Jack D. Brotherson Jun 1982

Vegetation Of The Mima Mounds Of Kalsow Prairie, Iowa, Jack D. Brotherson

Great Basin Naturalist

One hundred and twenty-eight mima mounds were studied relative to their vegetational relationships in a tall grass prairie area of central Iowa. Mound origins are thought to be due to several phenomena but are most likely initiated and maintained by the activity of pocket gophers. Seventy-five percent of the plant species common to the mounds are prairie species. When vegetative composition of the mounds was compared to the adjacent prairie vegetation, however, they were only 35 percent similar. The mounds were shown to alter the original structure and composition of the prairie vegetation. The mounds, once formed, created a new …

Algal Populations In Bottle Hollow Reservoir, Duchesne County, Utah, Jeffrey Johansen, Samuel R. Rushforth, Irena Kaczmarska Jun 1982

Algal Populations In Bottle Hollow Reservoir, Duchesne County, Utah, Jeffrey Johansen, Samuel R. Rushforth, Irena Kaczmarska

Great Basin Naturalist

Bottle Hollow Reservoir contains a diverse algal flora. A total of 289 taxa was observed, 227 of which were diatoms. Both littoral and planktonic communities had high diatom diversity. During summer months filamentous Chlorophyta were diverse and high in biomass in the littoral zone. Phytoplankton collections in Bottle Hollow Reservoir were dominated by four species: Asterionella formosa, Cyclotella comta, Dinobryon divergens, and Fragilaria crotonensis. Plankton samples contained mostly small diatoms in early spring, with larger algae succeeding these as the summer progressed. No blue-green algae were important in this succession. Two peak production periods were observed, one in the fall …

Private Documents And Papers As Sources For Research On Chinese Economy And Society During The Ch'ing Period-- A Report On The Materials Collected In Taiwan, Michael H. Finegan Jun 1982

Private Documents And Papers As Sources For Research On Chinese Economy And Society During The Ch'ing Period-- A Report On The Materials Collected In Taiwan, Michael H. Finegan

Journal of East Asian Libraries

Those interested in studying the society and economy of premodern China on the local level may have difficulty in finding suitable source materials. The information in standard published sources is often not detailed or precise enough to answer all important questions about the livelihood and social relationships of ordinary people. Three types of sources which may help to answer such questions and which may be found in Taiwan today are private documents and papers, popular editions of books from the Ch'ing period, and local government archives. Although discussion here will concentrate on introducing the private papers to be found in …
