Dog Owners And Hydatid Disease In Sanpete County, Utah, Peter M. Schantz, Ferron L. Andersen Sep 1980

Dog Owners And Hydatid Disease In Sanpete County, Utah, Peter M. Schantz, Ferron L. Andersen

Great Basin Naturalist

A questionnaire survey was conducted in Sanpete County, Utah, to determine the knowledge of dog owners concerning hydatid disease and an identification of some basic sheep management practices there. The households surveyed included 21 (Group I) that had one or more dogs infected with Echinococcus granulosus tapeworms at more than one annual field clinic, and 19 others (Group II) that had one or more dogs infected when the study first began in 1971–72, but had not had any infected dogs identified at field clinics during subsequent years. The results showed that 92.5 percent of households knew the cause of the …

Temporal Activity Patterns Of Dipodomys Ordii Population, Clive D. Jorgensen, H. Duane Smith, James R. Garcia Sep 1980

Temporal Activity Patterns Of Dipodomys Ordii Population, Clive D. Jorgensen, H. Duane Smith, James R. Garcia

Great Basin Naturalist

Temporal activity patterns for Dipodomys ordii were generally bimodal during the summer, with the highest peak occurring during early predawn hours when conditions were optimum for water conservation. Removal of dominant members in the population resulted in a substantial shift in the activity pattern to increased activity during the evening hours.

Observations On Seasonal Variation In Desert Arthropods In Central Nevada, Robert D. Pietruszka Sep 1980

Observations On Seasonal Variation In Desert Arthropods In Central Nevada, Robert D. Pietruszka

Great Basin Naturalist

Pitfall and Malaise trap collections from terrestrial arthropod populations in central Nevada were analyzed for four trapping periods during the 1978 growing season. Mites (Acarina) and ants (Formicidae) were the taxa represented by the largest numbers of individuals in pitfall trap collections throughout the season; Malaise collections were composed mainly of aerial taxa (largely Diptera and Hymenoptera). Peak arthropod abundance was recorded during mid-June. Collection diversities for both trapping methods were generally low due to the abundance of a few taxa. Evidence for spatial heterogeneity in arthropod populations was meager; temporal heterogeneity in these populations, however, was more apparent.

A Comparison Of Epiphytic Diatom Assemblages On Living And Dead Stems Of The Common Grass Phragmites Australis, Judith A. Grimes, Larry L. St. Clair, Samuel R. Rushforth Sep 1980

A Comparison Of Epiphytic Diatom Assemblages On Living And Dead Stems Of The Common Grass Phragmites Australis, Judith A. Grimes, Larry L. St. Clair, Samuel R. Rushforth

Great Basin Naturalist

Diatoms epiphytic on Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steaded stems were collected from a single clone at the southern end of Provo Bay, Utah Lake, Utah. Diatom populations from both living and dead stem sections were analyzed. Species diversity in each sample was high, indicating that the stems provide a relatively stable habitat for diatom epiphytes. Of the 23 genera found, only Gomphonema and Navicula showed significant trends toward stem preference. The diatoms in this study support the current view that Utah Lake is a slightly saline, eutrophic system.

Comparative Floral Biology Of Penstemon Eatonii And Penstemon Cyananthus In Central Utah: A Preliminary Study, Lucinda Bateman Sep 1980

Comparative Floral Biology Of Penstemon Eatonii And Penstemon Cyananthus In Central Utah: A Preliminary Study, Lucinda Bateman

Great Basin Naturalist

A comparison of the floral visitors of two closely related plant species, Penstemon cyananthus and P. eatonii suggests that flower shape and color may affect the number and type of pollinators, and the ability of the plant to set fruit. Penstemon cyananthus, which is most attractive to hymenopteran visitors, has a blue flower, large in diameter, that is positioned as a convenient "landing pad." Although many types of insects visit the flower, the transport of pollen directly to flowers of another individual of the same species is somewhat inefficient, since fruiting success is low (66.7 percent). The tubular red flowers …

Recovery Of Gambel Oak After Fire In Central Utah, L. M. Kunzler, K. T. Harper Jun 1980

Recovery Of Gambel Oak After Fire In Central Utah, L. M. Kunzler, K. T. Harper

Great Basin Naturalist

The height of oak (Quercus gambelii Nutt.) stems was measured on several fire scars within the Uinta National Forest and vicinity and compared with the height of oak stems on adjacent, nonburned areas. A significant relationship exists between the recovery rate of oak after fire and elevation, with the recovery rate being greatest at low elevations. A trend also exists showing that recovery tends to be greater on south to westerly exposures than on north to easterly exposures.

Seasonal Activity Pattern Of Columbian Ground Squirrels In The Idaho Primitive Area, Charles L. Elliott, Jerran T. Flinders Jun 1980

Seasonal Activity Pattern Of Columbian Ground Squirrels In The Idaho Primitive Area, Charles L. Elliott, Jerran T. Flinders

Great Basin Naturalist

Data were gathered concerning the seasonal activity pattern of a population of Columbian ground squirrels (Spermophilus columbianus) in the Idaho Primitive Area. Adult females were significantly more active in June of all years than were adult males. A relationship between ground squirrel activity and temperature is postulated in which the squirrels alter their activity so as to avoid high temperatures and possible heat stress.

Stinger Utilization And Predation In The Scorpion Paruroctonus Boreus, Bruce S. Cushing, Anne Matherne Jun 1980

Stinger Utilization And Predation In The Scorpion Paruroctonus Boreus, Bruce S. Cushing, Anne Matherne

Great Basin Naturalist

The utilization of the stinger and the predatory technique of the scorpion, Paruroctonus boreus, was studied under laboratory conditions. During the study, 83 feedings were observed. Age of the scorpions and the percentage of prey stung by them were used to classify the scorpions into groups. The scorpions aged 13–61 days always stung prey. After 62 days the scorpions began to selectively utilize the stinger. Utilization declined until it reached 30 percent in the adult stage. The stinger is apparently necessary for prey capture only in the early life stages.

Short-Term Effects Of Logging On Red-Backed Voles And Deer Mice, Thomas M. Campbell Iii, Tim W. Clark Jun 1980

Short-Term Effects Of Logging On Red-Backed Voles And Deer Mice, Thomas M. Campbell Iii, Tim W. Clark

Great Basin Naturalist

Clearcutting and selective logging effects on red-backed voles (Clethrionomys gapperi) and deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) were studied (September–November, 1975; June–October, 1976) in Bridger–Teton National Forest, Wyoming. Five selective cuts (total 137 ha) removed 57 percent (range 34–74 percent) of the trees. One clearcut (9.6 ha) eliminate 84 percent of the trees. Soils remained mesic in selective cuts, but became xeric in the clearcut. Snap-trapping indicated that voles were most abundant on the unlogged and selectively cut mesic sites (76 percent of 408 captures), whereas deer mice were more common on the xeric clearcut (80 percent of …

The Taxonomic Status Of The Rosy Boa Lichanura Roseofusca (Serpentes: Boidae), John R. Ottley, Robert W. Murphy, Geoffrey V. Smith Mar 1980

The Taxonomic Status Of The Rosy Boa Lichanura Roseofusca (Serpentes: Boidae), John R. Ottley, Robert W. Murphy, Geoffrey V. Smith

Great Basin Naturalist

Evidence is presented indicating that Lichanura roseofusca and Lichanura trivirgata are conspecific. Data include the report of an intermediate specimen from El Arco, Baja California Norte, a site midway between the previously known peninsular ranges of the two species; captive hybridization provides additional support for the conclusion.

The World Of Robert Storm Petersen, Allen E. Hye Jan 1980

The World Of Robert Storm Petersen, Allen E. Hye

The Bridge

Thirty years after his death in March, 1949, Robert Storm Petersen is still regarded as Denmark's greatest humorist; in fact, he is enjoying an astonishing revival in Scandinavian popular culture. T-shirts, advertising campaigns, key chains - all bear his likeness or that of his loveable cartoon characters. Even a museum has been established (Pile Alle 2, 2000 Copenhagen F) to promote his memory and humor. Since its founding in the fall of 1977, the museum, under the direction of Jens Bing, has been sorting and cataloging books, paintings, memorabilia, including the humorist's extensive pipe collection, and the some 60,000 drawings …

The Feilberg Letters: A Danish Family's Reflections On Canadian Prairie Life (Ii), Jorgen Dahlie

The Bridge

Readers of the previous issue of The Bridge (no. 3, 1979) will have made the acquaintance of the Ditlev and Julie Feilberg family. Their arrival in Saskatchewan some seventy years ago and their subsequent experiences in Canada have been documented in a series of letters sent to relatives in Denmark. In eloquent, often poignant language, the letters tell an absorbing story of the immigrant's hopeful expectations - and of the often harsh reality - in a new land.

Bleeding Feet, Humble Hearts: Danish Mormon Migration 1850-1860, Jens Patrick Wilde Jan 1980

Bleeding Feet, Humble Hearts: Danish Mormon Migration 1850-1860, Jens Patrick Wilde

The Bridge

The early history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a chronicle of several migrations. The Mormon migration most familiar to Americans began in New York state, from where Joseph Smith, prophet-founder of the church, moved with his followers in search of a place where they might build a community, a holy land. The way stations on the journey from New York to Salt Lake City, now the headquarters of the church, were Kirtland, Ohio; Independence and Far West, Missouri; and Nauvoo, Illinois. These attempts to found religious communities had their origin in Mormon doctrine, which implied …

Sex, Sickness And Statehood: The Influence Of Victorian Medical Opinion On Self-Government In Utah, E. Victoria Grover-Swank Jan 1980

Sex, Sickness And Statehood: The Influence Of Victorian Medical Opinion On Self-Government In Utah, E. Victoria Grover-Swank

Theses and Dissertations

In the struggle for self-government which occupied the Mormon population of Utah between their entry into the Great Basin in 1847 and statehood in 1896, the issue of polygamy dominated public discussion. The non-Mormon population of the United States generally objected to the practice of polygamy, in large part because of Victorian attitudes towards sexual activity and the presumed physical and mental results of violating Victorian sexual norms. It was assumed by most Americans that polygamy, by violating those norms, caused real physical damage to the Latter-day Saints in Utah; damage that disqualified them from holding full and equal political …

Lewis Warren Shurtliff: "A Great Man In Israel", Paul Miller Hokanson Jan 1980

Lewis Warren Shurtliff: "A Great Man In Israel", Paul Miller Hokanson

Theses and Dissertations

From this thesis we gain new insights into nineteenth and early twentieth century Mormonism. The life of Lewis Warren Shurtliff was typical of other Latter-day Saints in the formative period of the Church and Shurtliff contributed in many ways to Mormonism's growth and development. The New England background of the Shurtliff family is informative in determining the influences of Calvinist New England theology on early Mormons.

Shurtliff's vocations of pioneer, colonizer and freighter contributed to the building of a mountain empire in the Great Basin. His courtship, marriages and families and his attitudes and beliefs concerning plural and eternal marriage …

Water Use In Agriculture Now And For The Future, B. Gardner Delworth Jan 1980

Water Use In Agriculture Now And For The Future, B. Gardner Delworth

Faculty Publications

Water is the primary limiting factor in agriculture in the United States and the world. The western states have gained importance in agricultural production only through extensive use of irrigation from surface and groundwater sources. With the increase in population, these water supplies are facing new pressures for reallocation. Accurate scientific information concerning water availability, behavior, management, and value is essential in optimizing water allocation on farms, in agriculture, and among agriculture and the various other uses. This report is an overview of the physical, institutional, economic, and sociological aspects of the water issue from the standpoint of agriculture. It …
