Arnoldia Kuesii, A New Juvenile Fernlike Plant From The Lower Permian Of New Mexico, William D. Tidwell, Sidney Ash Jun 1986

Arnoldia Kuesii, A New Juvenile Fernlike Plant From The Lower Permian Of New Mexico, William D. Tidwell, Sidney Ash

Faculty Publications

A nearly complete juvenile fernlike plant is described here from Lower Permian rocks of New Mexico. The fossil consists of a horizontal rhizome with roots, a short thick upright aerial branch, and a tuft of dimorphic leaves. It is assigned to Arnodia kuesii gen. et sp. n. and appears to be the first juvenile fernlike plant known from the Upper Paleozoic. Abundant palynomorphs and other plant fossils associated with the fossil indicate that it is Early Permian in age.


Habitat Suitability Index Model For The Black-Footed Ferret: A Method To Locate Transplant Sites, B. R. Houston, Tim W. Clark, S. C. Minta May 1986

Habitat Suitability Index Model For The Black-Footed Ferret: A Method To Locate Transplant Sites, B. R. Houston, Tim W. Clark, S. C. Minta

Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs

A habitat suitability Index Model (HSI), following the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service HSI Model Series, is described for the black-footed ferret. The literature on which the model is based is reviewed, and model assumptions and structure are discussed. A realistic model is specified with variables and their functions that embody the critical spatial and resource heterogeneity characteristic of the broad geographic environment ferrets occupy. It assumes that ferrets can meet year-round habitat requirements within prairie dog colonies providing: (1) prairie dog colonies are large enough, (2) burrows are numerous enough, and (3) adequate numbers of prairie dogs and alternate …


Some Guidelines For Management Of The Black-Footed Ferret, Tim W. Clark May 1986

Some Guidelines For Management Of The Black-Footed Ferret, Tim W. Clark

Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs

Management guidelines are specified for monitoring and protecting the Meeteetse black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) population and habitat and for dealing with a series of special management considerations. The Meeteetse ferret population and habitat status are summarized as background. An annual management schedule is outlined including methods and sources of existing baseline data with which to compare future results. The public support and organizational arrangements needed for successful overall management and recovery of the species are briefly discussed.


Estimating Genetic Variation In The Black-Footed Ferret—A First Attempt, C. William Kilpatrick, Steven C. Forrest, Tim W. Clark May 1986

Estimating Genetic Variation In The Black-Footed Ferret—A First Attempt, C. William Kilpatrick, Steven C. Forrest, Tim W. Clark

Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs

No genetic variation was observed for three proteins examined from samples of saliva from 22 black-footed ferrets (Mustela nigripes). The comparable data concerning levels of genetic variation in other taxa at these loci are too inconclusive to provide a meaningful interpretation of the observed absence of genetic variation. The absence of genetic variation observed in the black-footed ferret population is compatible with the reported levels of genetic variation in terrestrial carnivores and populations that have undergone bottlenecks. Suggestions for additonal studies using different approaches both to increase the number of loci that are used to determine the level …


Descriptive Ethology And Activity Patterns Of Black-Footed Ferrets, Tim W. Clark, Louise Richardson, Steven C. Forrest, Denise E. Casey, Thomas M. Campbell Iii May 1986

Descriptive Ethology And Activity Patterns Of Black-Footed Ferrets, Tim W. Clark, Louise Richardson, Steven C. Forrest, Denise E. Casey, Thomas M. Campbell Iii

Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs

Aspects of the aboveground ethology and activity patterns of the black-footed ferrets (Mustela nigipes) are described for a population in northwestern Wyoming as a first step in building a descriptive ethogram and quantification of activity patterns. We observed at least 237 individual ferrets for 208 hr on 441 occasions from 2 December 1981 through 25 September 1984. Mainenance behaviors (locomotion, alert, grooming, and sunning, defecation and urination, digging, and predation) and social behavior (reproduction, ontogeny, maternal, play, agonistic) are described as well as some ferret-human interactions. Ferret vocalizations are subjectively described. We located ferrets during most months including …

Description And History Of The Meeteetse Black-Footed Ferret Environment, Tim W. Clark, Steven C. Forrest, Louise Richardson, Denise E. Casey, Thomas M. Campbell Iii

Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs

The black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) occupied area lies in the western Big Horn Basin, Park County, Wyoming. Cody, a nearby town, shows a record high temperature of 40.5 C and a low of -43.3 C, with 173 days each year below 0 C. Area geology is dominated by Absaroka volcanics. Soils are shallow (0.5 m) and underlain by unconsolidated gravels; well-drained, medium-textured clay-loams (ca 1 m in depth); or clays derived from shale parent materials. Vegetation is characterized by a wheatgrass-needlegrass shrubsteppe type (Agropyron/Stipa/Artemisia). Prior to white settlement, the area hosted a diverse large mammal community. …


Black-Footed Ferret Recovery: A Discussion Of Some Options And Considerations., Louise Richardson, Tim W. Clark, Steven C. Forrest, Thomas M. Campbell Iii May 1986

Black-Footed Ferret Recovery: A Discussion Of Some Options And Considerations., Louise Richardson, Tim W. Clark, Steven C. Forrest, Thomas M. Campbell Iii

Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs

A framework for recovery planning for the black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) is presented. Current species numbers are probably not sufficient to maintain longterm viability. Three options are presented for increasing ferret numbers: (1) increase available habitat for ferrets where they currently exist, (2) find more wild ferrets elsewhere, and (3) directly manipulate the ferret population through translocation and/ or captive rearing. The first two options are either unlikely or currently unfeasable, making it necessary to initiate the third option to ensure ferret recovery. Even if additional ferret populations are located, option three should still be implemented. Three options …


Determing Minimum Population Size For Recovery Of The Black-Footed Ferret, Craig R. Groves, Tim W. Clark May 1986

Determing Minimum Population Size For Recovery Of The Black-Footed Ferret, Craig R. Groves, Tim W. Clark

Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs

A minimum viable population (MVP) size is estimated for the critically endangered black-footed ferret by examining five basic methods: experiments, biogeographic patterns, theoretical models, simulation models, and genetic considerations. Each method is evaluated for its applicability to the feret and endangered species in general with two criteria in mind: (1) potential research impacts to target species and (2) the value of scientific accuracy and precision in relation to short-term conservation needs. For the black-footed ferret, the genetic method proved to be the most useful, resulting in an MVP estimate of about 200 ferrets for maintenance of short-term fitness. For most …


Vegetation Inventory Of Current And Historic Black-Footed Ferret Habitat In Wyoming, Ellen I. Collins, Robert W. Lichvar May 1986

Vegetation Inventory Of Current And Historic Black-Footed Ferret Habitat In Wyoming, Ellen I. Collins, Robert W. Lichvar

Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs

A vegetation inventory of current and historic black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes, BFF) habitat was completed in the 1983 growing season. White-tail prairie dog (Cynomys Leucurus) colonies near Meeteetse, Wyoming, provide the only known BFF habitat. Four other prairie dog complexes located in Wyoming, documented historic BFF habitat, were also inventoried. Prairie dog burrows occur in two of eight vegetation types present in the current BFF habitat study area. They are junegrass (Koeleria cristata) and sagebrush/junegrass (Artemisia tridentata/ K. cristata; maned for dominant species). In historic BFF habitat, prairie dog burrows occur in …


Activity Of Radio-Tagged Black-Footed Ferrets, Dean E. Biggins, Max H. Shroeder, Steven C. Forrest, Louise Richardson May 1986

Activity Of Radio-Tagged Black-Footed Ferrets, Dean E. Biggins, Max H. Shroeder, Steven C. Forrest, Louise Richardson

Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs

Activity of two radio-tagged black-footed ferrets (Mustela nigripes) was investigated during October–November 1981 (an adult male monitored for 16 days), and during August–November 1982 (a young female monitored for 101 days). Aboveground activity of the male averaged 2.95 hr/night, 15% of the total time monitored. From 22 September to 5 November, aboveground activity of the female averaged 1.69 hours; 26% of the time she was stationary and 74% of the time she was moving. During August the juvenile female emerged at least once on 93% of the nights. She was least active in November. Both animals were primarily …


Biology Of Red-Necked Phalaropes (Phalaropus Lobatus) At The Western Edge Of The Great Basin In Fall Migration, Joseph R. Jehl Jr. Apr 1986

Biology Of Red-Necked Phalaropes (Phalaropus Lobatus) At The Western Edge Of The Great Basin In Fall Migration, Joseph R. Jehl Jr.

Great Basin Naturalist

Large numbers of Red-necked Phalaropes migrate overland across the Great Basin in fall, occurring commonly at highly saline lakes. Migrants occur at Mono Lake, California, from mid-July to mid-October. The earliest migrants are adult females, followed several weeks later by adult males, and finally by juveniles. Adults make up ca 75% of the population, with males outnumbering females by 5:4. From 1980 through 1984 an estimated 52,000–65,000 birds passed through the area each year, except in 1983, when only 36,000 were recorded. The low number might be attributable to high mortality on oceanic wintering grounds in the Southern Hemisphere in …

Montane Insular Butterfly Biogeography: Fauna Of Ball Mountain, Siskiyou County, California, Arthur M. Shapiro

Great Basin Naturalist

Ball Mountain is an isolated, mostly heavily forested peak reaching the subalpine zone (2,330 m) in eastern Siskiyou County north of Mt. Shasta, California. It supports a rich fauna of at least 68 butterfly species showing affinities to the faunas of the Trinity Alps and Eddies, the Warners, and the Cascades. Rare or endemic entities include Speyeria monnonia, Lycaena heteronea gravenotata, and melanic forms of Speyeria atlantis and Agriades "glandon."Several zones of intergradation or hybridization impinge on the fauna as well.
