Size, Age, And Density Relationships To Curlleaf Mahogany (Cercocarpus Ledifolus) Populations In Western And Central Nevada: Competitive Implications, Brad W. Schultz, R. J. Tausch, Paul T. Tueller Jun 1991

Size, Age, And Density Relationships To Curlleaf Mahogany (Cercocarpus Ledifolus) Populations In Western And Central Nevada: Competitive Implications, Brad W. Schultz, R. J. Tausch, Paul T. Tueller

Great Basin Naturalist

Size-density-age relationships in curlleaf mountain mahogany communities were studied in 25 study plots, each 30 × 30 m, in western and central Nevada. The influence of total vegetation cover (site potential) and relative mahogany cover (mahogany dominance) on the observed size-density-age relationships was investigated. A positive linear relationship was found between mean mahogany height and mean mahogany age. A positive nonlinear relationship was found between mean mahogany crown volume and mean mahogany age. Negative nonlinear relationships were found between mean mahogany density and mean mahogany age, and mean mahogany density and mean mahogany crown volume. Strong negative relationships were found …

Evolutionary Differentiation Within The Northern Great Basin Pocket Gopher, Thomomys Townsendii. Ii. Genetic Variation And Biogeographic Considerations, Mary Anne Rogers Jun 1991

Evolutionary Differentiation Within The Northern Great Basin Pocket Gopher, Thomomys Townsendii. Ii. Genetic Variation And Biogeographic Considerations, Mary Anne Rogers

Great Basin Naturalist

Genetic variation across the known geographic range of Thomomys townsendii was examined by starch gel electrophoresis and nondifferentially stained karyotypes. All specimens examined had a diploid number of76, but some populations possessed one pair of acrocentric chromosomes in an otherwise biarmed karyotype. Electrophoretic analyses of 16 populations revealed Thomomys townsendii to be among the least variable of pocket gopher species studied. Of 27 loci examined, 17 were monomorphic and heterozygosity values were low (H = .000–.028, H¯ = .012). Genic differentiation between populations was also low (S = .896–.998, S¯ = .956) and revealed little concordance with current …


Site Characteristics And Habitat Requirements Of The Endangered Dwarf Bear-Claw Poppy (Arctomecon Humilis Coville, Papaveraceae), Deanna R. Nelson, Kimball T. Harper Jun 1991

Site Characteristics And Habitat Requirements Of The Endangered Dwarf Bear-Claw Poppy (Arctomecon Humilis Coville, Papaveraceae), Deanna R. Nelson, Kimball T. Harper

Great Basin Naturalist

Arctomecon humilis Cov. is a narrow endemic, confined to gypsiferous substrates derived from the Shnabkaib Member of the Moenkopi Formation in southwestern Utah. The characteristics of seven A. humilis sites were studied to define habitat requirements of the species. Both physical and biotic aspects of the habitat were analyzed; geology, soil chemistry, and physical properties, as well as vascular and nonvascular plant communities, were studied. Chemical and physical properties of these soils vary considerably from those supporting adjacent desert-shrub communities. The dominant vascular species on A. humilis sites are shadscale and Mormon tea. It was found that A. humilis occurred …


Evolutionary Differentiation Within The Northern Great Basin Pocket Gopher, Thomomys Townsendii. I. Morphological Variation, Mary Anne Rogers Jun 1991

Evolutionary Differentiation Within The Northern Great Basin Pocket Gopher, Thomomys Townsendii. I. Morphological Variation, Mary Anne Rogers

Great Basin Naturalist

Geographic and nongeographic variation in morphology was examined in Thomomys townsendii. A univariate analysis of external and cranial characters from a large population sample (66 adults; fusion of cranial sutures used as aging criteria) was used to assess variation among three adult age classes and between sexes. Only minor variation is apparent among age classes; however, sexual dimorphism is pronounced. Univariate and multivariate techniques were used to analyze external and cranial measurements and pelage characters for adults throughout the species range. These analyses show little to support the seven subspecific designations recognized by Davis (1937). The general pattern is …

Bromus Invasions On The Nevada Test Site: Present Status Of B. Rubens And B. Tectorum With Notes On Their Relationship To Disturbance And Altitude, Richard Hunter Jun 1991

Bromus Invasions On The Nevada Test Site: Present Status Of B. Rubens And B. Tectorum With Notes On Their Relationship To Disturbance And Altitude, Richard Hunter

Great Basin Naturalist

Bromus rubens and Bromus tectorum are now nearly ubiquitous components of the Nevada Test Site (NTS) flora. Introduced to the western United States in the late 1800s, they spread through the Mojave and Great Basin deserts in the early twentieth century. Since quantitative studies began on the NTS in 1957; Bromus spp. have greatly increased in frequency and density. By 1988 both species occurred in many places at densities exceeding 1000 individuals per square meter. They may significantly increase flammability of the vegetation and reduce success of native ephemeral species.


Field Acetylene Reduction Rates Of Lupinus Argenteus Along An Elevational Gradient, M. D. Rumbaugh, D. A. Johnson Jun 1991

Field Acetylene Reduction Rates Of Lupinus Argenteus Along An Elevational Gradient, M. D. Rumbaugh, D. A. Johnson

Great Basin Naturalist

The effects of elevation and environmental parameters associated with elevation on the dinitrogen fixation rates, N2[C2H2], of a North American lupine species were evaluated. Lupinus argenteus Pursh plants growing at five elevations on Francis Peak, Utah, were sampled weekly throughout the growing season. The highest elevation site had the greatest frequency of nodulated plants. Influence of the environmental and physiological variables on fixation activity varied with elevation and the mean time of sampling. Soil moisture, nodule dry weight, and air temperature were important. Less than one-half of the observed variation in fixation rates, N …

The Psychological Foundations Of The Mormon Client In Counseling And Psychotherapy, Mark Edward Koltko Apr 1991

The Psychological Foundations Of The Mormon Client In Counseling And Psychotherapy, Mark Edward Koltko

Issues in Religion and Psychotherapy

This paper comprises an analysis of selected psychotherapeutically relevant aspects of Mormonism, the religion of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Consideration is given to beliefs about religion, one's relationship to God, marriage and sexuality, grace and works, and personal inspiration, and the relevance of these beliefs for counseling and psychotherapy with Latter-day Saint clients. In addition, this paper considers the therapeutic relevance of religious history, demographics, community structure and policy, life style, and characteristic gender issues arising from the social structure.

Danish Artists Of The American West: Olaf Seltzer And Olaf Wieghorst, Cecilia Ibsen Larsen Jan 1991

Danish Artists Of The American West: Olaf Seltzer And Olaf Wieghorst, Cecilia Ibsen Larsen

The Bridge

If you mix cowboys, Indians, Danes and paint, you come up with two remarkable artists, Olaf Seltzer and Olaf Wieghorst. These two men came to America from Denmark and, after living and working here for numbers of years, produced art that is as American as American art can get. Their subject was the Old West. Although their trips were 27 years apart, both Seltzer and Wieghorst came to America in their teens. Both worked at other occupations until they had developed the skills necessary to survive as artists. Both chose the West as their subject matter; both were named Olaf; …


Effects Of Prairie Dog Rodenticides On Deer Mice In Western South Dakota, Michele S. Deisch, Daniel W. Uresk, Raymond L. Linder Dec 1990

Effects Of Prairie Dog Rodenticides On Deer Mice In Western South Dakota, Michele S. Deisch, Daniel W. Uresk, Raymond L. Linder

Great Basin Naturalist

Mortality of nontarget small mammals was determined after application of three black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) rodenticide treatments (prebaited zinc phosphide, prebaited strychnine, and strychnine alone) in western South Dakota. Immediate (September 1983) and long-term (September 1983 through August 1984) impacts on deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus) relative densities were evaluated and the three rodenticide treatments were compared for efficacy. The three treatments had no significant (α < .10) immediate impacts on deer mouse relative densities, although zinc phosphide did lower them; that impact was not, however, long term. Long-term impacts of the two strychnine treatments were variable, with an increase in deer mouse densities with the strychnine only treatment. Overall, comparisons among the three treatments indicated that zinc phosphide was more effective than either strychnine treatment in reducing deer mouse densities.


Reproduction Of Three Species Of Pocket Mice (Perognathus) In The Bonneville Basin, Utah, Kenneth L. Cramer, Joseph A. Chapman Dec 1990

Reproduction Of Three Species Of Pocket Mice (Perognathus) In The Bonneville Basin, Utah, Kenneth L. Cramer, Joseph A. Chapman

Great Basin Naturalist

Data on reproduction of three species of pocket mice (Perognathus) occurring in northern Utah are summarized. Perognathus parvus and P. formosus bred in spring but not the remainder of the year. This occurred despite mild fall and winter temperatures and shallow snowcover. Litter sizes for P. parvus and P. formosus were similar to those reported by previous investigators. A small sample of P. longimembris indicated they may have much larger litters (averaging 5.78 young) than previously reported for laboratory populations. Adult body mass was positively correlated with testis mass in all species, and with litter size in P. …


Ecological Review Of Black-Tailed Prairie Dogs And Associated Species In Western South Dakota, Jon C. Sharps, Daniel W. Uresk Dec 1990

Ecological Review Of Black-Tailed Prairie Dogs And Associated Species In Western South Dakota, Jon C. Sharps, Daniel W. Uresk

Great Basin Naturalist

Black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) once occupied extensive areas throughout the Great Plains. In recent years massive control programs have been initiated to reduce prairie dog populations, primarily to benefit the livestock grazing industry. Currently in western South Dakota most prairie dogs are found on public lands. Control programs using toxicants for prairie dogs have been found to be economically unfeasible when not combined with reductions in livestock grazing. Control programs also have negatively impacted some nontarget species of birds and small mammals. Livestock grazing is directly related to prairie dog densities. Prairie dog and livestock grazing activities …
