The Golden Age Of Roman Helvetia, H. Dwight Page Jun 1997

The Golden Age Of Roman Helvetia, H. Dwight Page

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Any traveller who had visited the region of present day Switzerland in the first century before Christ and who could have returned there three centuries later at the end of the second century of the Christian era would have been astonished by the differences between the two periods. Whereas the pre-Roman country of the Helvetii had been a vast forest whose inhabitants had lived in rudimentary hilltop oppida and had spent their lives hunting, fishing and tilling the soil of small farms, the Roman province of Helvetia in the third century after Christ was a prosperous nation whose citizens lived …

A Body Without Organs: Three Approaches- Cage, Bach, And Messiaen, Christian T. Asplund Jun 1997

A Body Without Organs: Three Approaches- Cage, Bach, And Messiaen, Christian T. Asplund

Faculty Publications

Allow me to posit a traditional four-part division of the self into the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and physical/sensual. This may be further simplified to a two-part division, one being the spiritual and the other being a trio of the other selves which collectively may be termed the natural self. Sacred activity in this context would be an effort to achieve communion between the spiritual self and other spiritual entities. Such communion would be, in fact, the self's highest goal and, ultimately, the only one worth all its efforts. True communion with other beings is only possible on this spiritual level, …


Boggy Meadows, Livestock Grazing, And Interspecific Interactions: Influences On The Insular Distribution Of Montane Lincoln's Sparrows (Melospiza Lincolnii Alticola), Carla Cicero May 1997

Boggy Meadows, Livestock Grazing, And Interspecific Interactions: Influences On The Insular Distribution Of Montane Lincoln's Sparrows (Melospiza Lincolnii Alticola), Carla Cicero

Great Basin Naturalist

I surveyed 34 meadows in California and Oregon to count Lincoln's Sparrows (Melospiza lincolnii alticola) and to identify habitat features that might influence their local, insular occurrence. Lincoln's Sparrows were most common in wet meadows with little damage by grazing. Singing males were concentrated in flooded or boggy areas near meadow edges, where pines (Pinus sp.) provided elevated perches for singing and vigilance. Patches of willows (Salix sp.) were often present nearby. Numbers of male Lincoln's Sparrows were strongly and negatively correlated with abundance of sympatric Song Sparrows (M. melodia fisherella). Lincoln's Sparrows breeding …


Variation In Germination Response To Temperature And Water Availability In Blackbrush (Coleogyne Ramosissima) And Its Ecological Significance, Simon A. Lei May 1997

Variation In Germination Response To Temperature And Water Availability In Blackbrush (Coleogyne Ramosissima) And Its Ecological Significance, Simon A. Lei

Great Basin Naturalist

Blackbrush (Coleogyne ramosissima Torr.) is a dominant desert shrub in a distinct mid-elevational vegetation belt between creosote bush–bursage (Larrea tridentata–Ambrosia dumosa) shrubland below and big sagebrush–pinyon pine–Utah juniper (Artemisia tridentata–Pinus monophylla–Juniperus osteosperma) woodland above in the Mojave Desert. Seed germination patterns of blackbrush seeds collected from 2 elevations (1200 and 1550 m) in 5 mountain ranges within the blackbrush shrublands were investigated. Morphological features of blackbrush seeds, including weight, length, and width, were not significantly different (P > 0.05) among elevations and mountain ranges in the Mojave Desert. Germination of blackbrush seeds was optimal when …


Density, Distribution, And Habitat Of Flammulated Owls In Idaho, Craig Groves, Terry Frederick, Glenn Frederick, Eric Atkinson, Melonie Atkinson, Jay Shepherd, Gregg Servheen May 1997

Density, Distribution, And Habitat Of Flammulated Owls In Idaho, Craig Groves, Terry Frederick, Glenn Frederick, Eric Atkinson, Melonie Atkinson, Jay Shepherd, Gregg Servheen

Great Basin Naturalist

From 1990 to 1992 we surveyed for Flammulated Owls (Otus flammeolus) in 3 areas in Idaho: Salmon National Forest (SNF), Payette National Forest and adjacent Hells Canyon National Recreation Area (PNF-HCNRA), and Nez Perce National Forest (NPNF). We also collected and summarized information on all historic and modern records of Flammulated Owls in Idaho. Flammulated Owls were detected on 65% of 68 routes (2–16 km in length) surveyed at densities ranging from 0.04 to 1.25 singing males/40 ha. Owls were detected on survey routes as early as 10 May and as late as 23 July. Mean percent canopy …


Den And Relocation Site Characteristics And Home Ranges Of Peromyscus Truei In The White Mountains Of California, Linnea S. Hall, Michael L. Morrison May 1997

Den And Relocation Site Characteristics And Home Ranges Of Peromyscus Truei In The White Mountains Of California, Linnea S. Hall, Michael L. Morrison

Great Basin Naturalist

We used radio telemetry to describe nighttime movements and daytime den sites of pinyon mice (Peromyscus truei) in the White Mountains of California, 1991–1993. Characteristics of nighttime relocations and den sites for mice concurred with previously reported habitat-use information for the species and supported the claim that pinyon mice use multiple daytime sites. However, males and females were associated with different habitat characteristics at den sites, indicating differential microhabitat selection by the sexes, perhaps related to reproductive constraints on females. Pinyon mice also exhibited high variability in den site habitat use in the summer, but low variability in …


Late Fall And Early Spring Bird Observations For Mulegé, Baja California Sur, Mexico, Robert C. Whitmore, R. Craig Whitmore May 1997

Late Fall And Early Spring Bird Observations For Mulegé, Baja California Sur, Mexico, Robert C. Whitmore, R. Craig Whitmore

Great Basin Naturalist

Observational data from spring and fall 1996 and spring 1997 for the region near Mulegé, Baja California Sur, Mexico, are summarized in tabular form. In addition, new or noteworthy data for 17 species are annotated to provide clarification of previously published records. A uniquely plumaged bird, too far south for a female American Robin (Turdus migratorius) in basic plumage and too far north for the endemic "San Lucas" Robin (Turdus migratorius confinis) and intermediate in coloration between the two, was recorded. Range expansions are documented for several species including the European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris), …


Interannual Abundance Of Nonnative Fathead Minnows (Pimephales Promelas) In Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon, David C. Simon, Douglas F. Markle May 1997

Interannual Abundance Of Nonnative Fathead Minnows (Pimephales Promelas) In Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon, David C. Simon, Douglas F. Markle

Great Basin Naturalist

Since its introduction about 20 yr ago, fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) has become very abundant in Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon. In 1991 mean beach seine catch per unit effort (CPUE) was 214, compared to 25 for native blue chub (Gila coerulea), the next most abundant species. In 45 trap-net samples collected in 1992, fathead minnow constituted 59% of the fishes caught in Agency Lake subbasin, 27% in Upper Klamath Lake, and 17% in tributary inflow habitats. From 1991 to 1995 fathead minnow declined and the abundance of some native fishes increased. Introduction to Klamath Basin was …


Biotic And Abiotic Factors Influencing The Distribution Of Coleogyne Communities In Southern Nevada, Simon A. Lei, Lawrence R. Walker May 1997

Biotic And Abiotic Factors Influencing The Distribution Of Coleogyne Communities In Southern Nevada, Simon A. Lei, Lawrence R. Walker

Great Basin Naturalist

Coleogyne ramosissima is a desert shrub that forms a nearly monospecific shrubland and occupies a well-defined elevational band between approximately 1050 and 2150 m on mountain ranges in southern Nevada. The Coleogyne shrubland shares relatively broad upper and lower ecotones with Pinus-Juniperus and Larrea-Ambrosia plant communites, respectively. We characterized the extent that environmental factors correlate with Coleogyne density and examined variation in biotic and abiotic factors along the lower elevational boundary of Coleogyne in Lucky Strike Canyon near Las Vegas, Nevada. Coleogyne density was positively correlated with gravimetric soil moisture, soil organic matter, Coleogyne water potential, Coleogyne stem and leaf …

Winter Habitat Selection By Reintroduced Pronghorn On Antelope Island, Great Salt Lake, Utah, Melissa J. Kilgore, W. Sue Fairbanks May 1997

Winter Habitat Selection By Reintroduced Pronghorn On Antelope Island, Great Salt Lake, Utah, Melissa J. Kilgore, W. Sue Fairbanks

Great Basin Naturalist

The recent and future introduction of several ungulate species on Antelope Island necessitates knowledge of habitat use by each species. In this study habitat preferences of reintroduced pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) on Antelope Island were evaluated during February–March 1993 and January–March 1994. Elevation, slope, physiography, aspect, and habitat type of sites used by pronghorn were compared to similar data collected from random points. During the severe winter of 1993, pronghorn preferred terrain that was 1281–1380 m in elevation and was relatively flat or at the base of a hill. Slopes greater than 30% were avoided. South-facing slopes were preferred; …
