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 …

Taxonomic Studies Of Dwarf Mistletoes (Arceuthobium Ssp.) Parasitizing Pinus Strobiformis, Robert L. Mathiasen Mar 1982

Taxonomic Studies Of Dwarf Mistletoes (Arceuthobium Ssp.) Parasitizing Pinus Strobiformis, Robert L. Mathiasen

Great Basin Naturalist

Analysis of morphological characters of Arceuthobium apachecum and A. blumeri indicates there are several geographically consistent differences between these taxa, which supports their current classification at the specific level. Shoot height and perianth lobe number exhibited considerable geographic variation, and some morphological characters examined were continuous. Peak flowering and seed dispersal periods for these species differed slightly Altitudinal, seasonal, and latitudinal variations in flowering and seed dispersal were detected and may be responsible for the differences in phenology between these taxa.

Acquisition Of The Mitsui Collection By The East Asiatic Library, University Of California, Berkeley, Roger Sherman Feb 1982

Acquisition Of The Mitsui Collection By The East Asiatic Library, University Of California, Berkeley, Roger Sherman

Journal of East Asian Libraries

Not long after World War II came to a close, there was a burgeoning of interest in area studies, which prompted many academic libraries in the United States to embark on extensive acquisitions programs to obtain foreign books for their universities. At the Berkeley campus of the University of California, it was recognized that there was a need on the West Coast for a strong collection of East Asian research materials. This led to the establishment of the East Asiatic Library (EAL) in 1947 as a separate branch on campus. The first few years at the Library were a period …

The Elizabethan Clerk Of The Privy Council, F. J. Platt Jan 1982

The Elizabethan Clerk Of The Privy Council, F. J. Platt

Quidditas

One of the least understood facts of Elizabethan administrative history is the importance of the clerkship of the Privy Council. Considered a position of "no small esteem," this "office was singularly rich in men of distinction." Indeed, with the exception of a select few privy councilors, it was the Council clerks who handled the lion's share of the day-to-day business of English government.

Danish Farmers In The Middle West, Erik Helmer Pedersen Jan 1982

Danish Farmers In The Middle West, Erik Helmer Pedersen

The Bridge

A former Danish carpenter and farmer, Niels Madsen, his wife, Anna, and their six children, aged 15 to 3 years, were among the passengers on board the America wooden paddle-steamer "Northern Light" when the ship on May 1, 1869, left Copenhagen. It was bound for New York, but enroute it had to call at Gothenburg in Sweden and Christiana in Norway. The Madsen family had left their native village of Klippinge at Stevns, in the company of about 30 other emigrants, headed by a so-called "yankee," Mr. A. Clausen, who during the spring of 1869 had formed an emigration group. …

Antonio Possevino, S.J. As A Counter-Reformation Critic Of The Arts, John Patrick Donnelly S.J. Jan 1982

Antonio Possevino, S.J. As A Counter-Reformation Critic Of The Arts, John Patrick Donnelly S.J.

Quidditas

The Protestant Reformation called into question many traditions and practices of the Church, including the traditional relation of art to religion. Many Protestant theologians, for instance Calvin and especially Zwingli, condemned religious statues and art as idolatrous or superstitious, partly on the basis of Old Testament prohibitions. Luther and Lutherans approved of religious paintings but rejected the cult of the saints that had figured so largely in medieval and Renaissance religious art. In the Lutheran tradition religious art was more closely tied to the Bible, another manifestation fo the sola scriptura principle. In Catholic circles as well there arose lively …

Albert Gallatin, 176101849, A Genevan In The American Enlightenment: An Essay In Interpretation, Leo Schelbert Jan 1982

Albert Gallatin, 176101849, A Genevan In The American Enlightenment: An Essay In Interpretation, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Albert Gallatin has been called "America's Forgotten Statesman."1 A review of scholarly and public endeavors shows, however, that he has received serious attention, especially in recent decades. Best known is, perhaps, the excellent biography by Raymond Walters Jr. of 1957, a concise, learned, and balanced portrait.2 In 1958 Rutgers University Press published Alexander Balinky's Albert Gallatin Fiscal Theories and Policies, a comprehensive study. Although Balinky profoundly misunderstood .Gallatin in favor of Hamiltonian programs, he offered nevertheless a scholarly treatise to be reckoned with.3 In 1963 Gayle Thornbrough edited the Correspondence of John Badollet and Albert Gallatin …

Seed Dispersal In Hybrid Salsola, M. A. B. Lee, Timothy Brothers Sep 1981

Seed Dispersal In Hybrid Salsola, M. A. B. Lee, Timothy Brothers

Great Basin Naturalist

The study population is a group of hybrids of Salsola iberica × S. paulsenii. The plants show great variation in phenotypic characteristics, and the character complexes of the parent species seem to have largely disappeared. Seeds are dispersed both locally, from intact plants, and by tumbling. Tumbling is the dominant form of dispersal in most individuals studied. Most locally dispersed seeds fall between .5 and 1.5 m from the parent plant. Despite the dominance of tumbling, large numbers of seeds are dispersed locally and probably serve to maintain the population while those dispersed by tumbling introduce the plants into …

Evaluating The Relationship Between Mule Deer Pellet-Group Data And Available Winter Range, Using Landsat Imagery, John W. Wyckoff Jun 1981

Evaluating The Relationship Between Mule Deer Pellet-Group Data And Available Winter Range, Using Landsat Imagery, John W. Wyckoff

Great Basin Naturalist

In this study, mule deer population trend data (deer-days-use/hectare) were statistically analyzed with range area data that were extracted from LANDSAT satellite imagery. The remote sensing techniques developed use multidate, winter images of an area in central Utah. Snow-covered areas and vegetational areas mapped from the imagery were composited into 26 maps representing the approximate winter range available to mule deer on 26 dates over a five-year period (1972–1977). Utah State Division of Wildlife Resources pellet-group transect data were statistically analyzed with range data measured from the satellite imagery. Range area accounted for a fairly large proportion of the variation …

A Checklist Of The Alpine Vascular Flora Of The Teton Range, Wyoming, With Notes On Biology And Habitat Preferences, John R. Spence, Richard J. Shaw Jun 1981

A Checklist Of The Alpine Vascular Flora Of The Teton Range, Wyoming, With Notes On Biology And Habitat Preferences, John R. Spence, Richard J. Shaw

Great Basin Naturalist

A checklist of the vascular flora of the alpine zone (treeless vegetation above 9500 feet or 2900 m) of the Teton Range is presented. For each of the 216 species, six attributes are listed: flower color and shape, pollination mode, life form, habitat preference, and whether each species is found in the Arctic. White and yellow flowered species are most common, and zoophilous species greatly predominate over anemophilous and apomictic species. Perennial/biennial herbs are the most common life form. Common habitats in the alpine zone include dry and wet meadows, bogs, debris accumulations, and cliffs and rock faces. Arctic species …

Some Spatial And Behavioral Features Of The Thirteen-Lined Ground Squirrel, Tim W. Clark Jun 1981

Some Spatial And Behavioral Features Of The Thirteen-Lined Ground Squirrel, Tim W. Clark

Great Basin Naturalist

Some relationships between home range, agonistic behavior, and reproductive patterns in thirteen-lined ground squirrels were investigated in Laramie Plains, Wyoming (August 1966–April 1969). Population size and densities fluctuated seasonally and annually. Adult male (N = 7) home ranges averaged 0.24 ha and were smaller than those of the female (N = 9), which averaged 0.35 ha. Agonistic interactions were more frequent during the natal period (late May–June) than during the breeding-gestation period (mid April–May). Most squirrels (86 percent) shared capture sites and had overlapping home ranges. However, a certain degree of spacing existed because of agonistic behavior.
