Beyond Teaching Correct Principles (Some Thoughts On Mormon Youth And The Development Of Free Agency), Grant Owen
Issues in Religion and Psychotherapy
It is alleged that families that have not made adequate preparation for coping with the developing agency of their teenage children seek to contain that growth. As in other religious families under similar stress, LDS parents may attempt to enhance their power and credibility by aligning their authority with that of the church. The natural movement of the adolescent away from parental control may thus be complicated and result in the unnecessary disruption of church ties as well as familial bonds by the confused and frustrated youth. Measures intended to foster parental confidence and adolscent competence are discussed.

Inscape
I didn't want to go home, but the nagging beeps sounding from my wristwatch reminded me l could delay it no longer. Flicking the switch on the terminal I had stared at all afternoon, I reluctantly broke away from my research. A part of my mind seemed connected to the computer, for when I turned it off, the stacks of equations broke apart and drifted away into some dark corner of my memory. I dropped a few papers into the briefcase on the floor, then donning my coat, headed for the door beneath the green glow of the exit sign. …
Political Vs. Economic Incentives, B. Delworth Gardner
Political Vs. Economic Incentives, B. Delworth Gardner
Faculty Publications
H this paper is the best challenge that can be brought against the New Resource Economics (NRE) and its advocacy for privatization of the public lands, we are likely to see both around for a long time. If there is fallacy in the idea of privatization, it is not illuminated in the arguments of this article. The paper misrepresents what the NRE is, shows little comprehension of the basic concepts on which it rests, and completely reverses the basic nature of the privatization solution. I hope to demonstrate as much in this critique.
The Incidence Of Obesity In Lds College Women: The Effect Of Selected Physical Socio-Environmental Variables On Total Percent Body Fat In Two Populations Of Lds Women, Carrie Tanner Summers
The Incidence Of Obesity In Lds College Women: The Effect Of Selected Physical Socio-Environmental Variables On Total Percent Body Fat In Two Populations Of Lds Women, Carrie Tanner Summers
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of selected physical socio-environmental variables on total percent body fat. The sample population consisted of single, LDS, white women attending Brigham Young University (BYU) and California State University at Fullerton (CSUF). Significant data as well as trends that appeared were included in this paper.
From the data collected, it was concluded that the sample populations at BYU and CSUF were the same. The incidence of obesity was determined only among individuals attending both universities. The entire sample population mean was 22.19 percent. This percentage did not meet the obesity criteria. …
Alpine And Subalpine Wetland Plant Communities Of The Uinta Mountains, Utah, George M. Briggs, James A. Macmahon
Alpine And Subalpine Wetland Plant Communities Of The Uinta Mountains, Utah, George M. Briggs, James A. Macmahon
Great Basin Naturalist
Seven wetland areas in the subalpine and alpine regions of the Uinta Mountains are described. Most areas have a mosaic vegetation structure, comprised of several patches that are usually sharply demarcated from one another. Each patch has a distinct species composition, usually with only one or two species. Water level is associated with some of the vegetation patterns found in these sites. Standing crop varied from 28 to 360 g/m2. Sites show considerable variation in standing crop that could not be explained by elevation differences between sites. Sites with water flowing over them have substantially greater standing crops …
Reproductive Attributes Of Some Rocky Mountain Subalpine Herbs In Successional Context, David J. Schimpf, Robert L. Bayn Jr.
Reproductive Attributes Of Some Rocky Mountain Subalpine Herbs In Successional Context, David J. Schimpf, Robert L. Bayn Jr.
Great Basin Naturalist
Selected reproductive attributes of herbaceous plant species were compared among three stages of a sere in the subalpine zone of Utah's Wasatch Mountains: herbaceous meadow, aspen grove, spruce-fir forest. No successional trends in seed size or inferred mode of seed dispersal were detected. We ascribe the deviation of these findings from those of most other studies to differences in climate, life-form composition, or community age between our sere and those of other studies. A variety of flower colors were found in the meadow stage, grading into a predominance of white flowers under conifers. Animal vectors of pollen, capable of effecting …
Vegetative Types And Endemic Plants Of The Bryce Canyon Breaks, Robert A. Graybosch, Hayle Buchanan
Vegetative Types And Endemic Plants Of The Bryce Canyon Breaks, Robert A. Graybosch, Hayle Buchanan
Great Basin Naturalist
The scenic Bryce Canyon "breaks" constitute harsh and inhospitable habitats for plant life. The eroded pink cliffs and talus slopes are sites of some of the most rapid natural erosion on earth. This paper divides the plant life on the breaks of the main Bryce Canyon amphitheater into four vegetative types. A checklist of all plant species found in the main amphitheater is included. Many of the rare and endangered endemic species of the park are found in the Pinus longaeva vegetative type. Recommendations for managing the breaks to protect endemics are presented.

The preferred habitat, season of use, breeding status, and relative abundance of each species are given.
Range Extensions For Two Dwarf Mistletoes (Arceuthobium Spp.) In The Southwest, Robert L. Mathiasen, Kenneth H. Jones
Range Extensions For Two Dwarf Mistletoes (Arceuthobium Spp.) In The Southwest, Robert L. Mathiasen, Kenneth H. Jones
Great Basin Naturalist
A second small population of white fir dwarf mistletoe, Arceuthobium abietinum f. sp. concoloris, is reported from the Santa Catalina Mountains in southern Arizona. The discovery of a second population of this mistletoe in southern Arizona supports the contention that it once had a more southern distribution but has survived past climatic changes in only a few locations in the southwestern United States. The distribution of the Western spruce dwarf mistletoe, Arceuthobium microcarpum, is extended to the Sacramento Mountains of south central New Mexico, a range extension of approximately 170 miles. The mistletoe is restricted to an area …

Daily And Yearly Movement Of The Devil's Hole Pupfish Cyprinodon Diabolis Wales In Devil's Hole, Nevada, Thomas M. Baugh, James E. Deacon
Daily And Yearly Movement Of The Devil's Hole Pupfish Cyprinodon Diabolis Wales In Devil's Hole, Nevada, Thomas M. Baugh, James E. Deacon
Great Basin Naturalist
Past observations and ongoing population surveys indicate daily and yearly vertical movement of the Devil's Hole pupfish, Cyprinodon diabolis Wales, within the upper 27 m of the water column in Devil's Hole, Nevada. This movement involves occupying and leaving a 5 by 3.5 m rock shelf during daily and yearly periods of maximum light intensity.
A Revision Of The Genus Microrhopala (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) In America North Of Mexico, Shawn M. Clark
A Revision Of The Genus Microrhopala (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) In America North Of Mexico, Shawn M. Clark
Great Basin Naturalist
The eight known North American species of Microrhopala infest Solidago, Aster, and other compositaceous plants. Descriptions and keys to species and subspecies are given. Microrhopala rileyi is named as a new species from Missouri, M. hecate (Newman) is removed from synonymy with M. cyanea (Say), and M. cyanea is reduced to a subspecies of M. excavata (Olivier). Lectotypes are designated for taxa described originally in the genus Hispa, i.e., Hispa vittata, H. xerene, and H. erebus, and neotypes are designated for H. excavata and H. cyanea. Phylogenetic relationships are discussed.

New Generic Concepts In The Triticeae Of The Intermountain Region: Key And Comments, Mary E. Barkworth, Douglas R. Dewey, Riley J. Atkins
Great Basin Naturalist
Revision of the perennial genera of North American Triticeae requires recognition of seven new genera in the Intermountain Region: Elytrigia, Leymus, Psathyrostachys, Pseudoroegneria, Thinopyrum, and the hybrid genera × Elyleymus and × Pseudelymus. One previously recognized genus, Sitanion, is included in Elymus. Several new combinations are presented to accommodate the taxonomic changes. Elymus trachycaulus is treated as a widespread, polymorphic species with three subspecies in the region: subsp. trachycaulus, subsecundus, and latiglumis. Agropyron dasystachyum and A. albicans are treated as conspecific subspecies of Elymus lanceolatus. A key to the genera of the Triticeae occurring in the Intermountain Region is …
Plant Community Variability On A Small Area In Southeastern Montana, James G. Maccracken, Daniel W. Uresk, Richard M. Hansen
Plant Community Variability On A Small Area In Southeastern Montana, James G. Maccracken, Daniel W. Uresk, Richard M. Hansen
Great Basin Naturalist
Plant communities are inherently variable due to a number of environmental and biological forces. Canopy cover and aboveground biomass were determined for understory vegetation in plant communities of a prairie grassland–forest ecotone in southeastern Montana. Vegetation units were described using polar ordination and stepwise discriminant analysis. Nine of a total of 88 plant species encountered and cover of litter were the most useful variables in distinguishing among vegetation units on the study area and accounted for nearly 100 percent of the variation in the data. Seven vegetation units were different (P < 0.05) after all 10 variables had been entered into the analysis. Some plant communities were represented by two or three different vegetation units, indicating that some plant communities were variable and nonuniform in botanical composition over a relatively small area. This variability will influence management practices for these areas. Multiple-use management will benefit by recognition of inherent plant community variation.
Patterns Of Morphology And Resource Use In North American Desert Rodent Communities, M. V. Price, J. H. Brown
Patterns Of Morphology And Resource Use In North American Desert Rodent Communities, M. V. Price, J. H. Brown
Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs
As is true of many assemblages of ecologically similar organisms, coexisting heteromyid rodent species differ conspicuously in morphology and in microhabitat affinity. These patterns are so common that their explanation represents a central problem of community ecology. In the case of desert rodents, two very different factors, predation and competition, have been advanced as the ultimate cause of the patterns. We outline the way in which each of these factors could produce observed community-level patterns and review the evidence for the action of each factor. We conclude that the "competition" hypothesis has more support at the moment, but that this …
Morphological Structure And Function In The Desert Heteromyid Rodents, Joyce C. Nikolai, Dennis M. Bramble
Morphological Structure And Function In The Desert Heteromyid Rodents, Joyce C. Nikolai, Dennis M. Bramble
Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs
The functional morphology of desert heteromyid rodents (Perognathus, Dipodomys, Microdipodops) is reviewed with considerable new information provided. Specific attention is given to the interaction of anatomical structure and the behavioral and ecological patterns of these rodents.
Inflation of the auditory bullae, although apparently related to improving hearing, is also shown to directly impact the structure and function of the feeding apparatus in desert heteromyids. The mechanics of high speed pouching behavior is Dipodomys deserti as well as the rates of digging activities of various heteromyids are described using data from slow motion films. The biomechanical consequences of cheek …
Evolutionary Relationships Of Heteromyid Rodents, John C. Hafner, Mark S. Hafner
Evolutionary Relationships Of Heteromyid Rodents, John C. Hafner, Mark S. Hafner
Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs
The rodent superfamily Geomyoidea is an old, undoubtedly monophyletic lineage having only obscure affinities with other rodent groups. Geomyoid rodents, autochthonous in North America, experienced major evolutionary diversification in the Mio-Pliocene coincident with the development of the Madro-Tertiary Geoflora and the climatic trend toward increasing aridity and coolness. Extant geomyoids are divisible into two groups: (1) the Geomyidae, all members of which are fossorial, and (2) the Heteromyidae, whose members display an adaptive continuum from bipedal, xeric-adapted forms to scansorial, mesic-adapted forms. These moieties, although recognizable on biochemical criteria, become particularly difficult to distinguish when paleontological data are considered. Nevertheless, …

Desert Rodent Adaptation And Community Structure, Michael A. Mares
Desert Rodent Adaptation And Community Structure, Michael A. Mares
Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs
Desert rodent communities are compared for evidence of convergent evolution at various levels of organization, including the systemic (physiological, anatomical, etc.), autecological, and synecological. Convergence is quite pronounced at the systemic level, less pronounced at the autecological level, and even less detectable at the synecological level. This is not to imply that community convergence does not occur, but rather that our current abilities to quantify and detect convergence at the community level are rudimentary-and our data base is still far from adequate to the task of rigorously comparing community attributes. Most research on the ecology, behavior, physiology, and community structure …
Behavior Of Desert Heteromyids, O. J. Reichman
Behavior Of Desert Heteromyids, O. J. Reichman
Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs
Activity patterns of desert heteromyids are characteristic of many nocturnal rodents, with a peak of activity near dusk and a second prior to dawn. Seasonal activity varies with environmental conditions, going from activity throughout the winter in larger species to extended periods of torpor by smaller pocket mice. The rodents forage primarily for seeds, with pocket mice tending to feed under shrubs and on relatively low-density seed patches and kangaroo rats frequently foraging in the open for relatively high-density seed patches. The animals are usually solitary, with aggression exhibited between and within species. Burrow construction can be simple to extensive. …
Desert Rodent Populations: Factors Affecting Abundance, Distribution, And Genetic Structure, James C. Munger, Michael A. Bowers, W. Thomas Jones
Desert Rodent Populations: Factors Affecting Abundance, Distribution, And Genetic Structure, James C. Munger, Michael A. Bowers, W. Thomas Jones
Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs
Literature concerning North American nocturnal desert rodents is reviewed to delimit current knowledge of the importance of various factors to abundance, distribution, and genetic structure. In addition, strategies for further study are suggested. Abundance: That increased rodent abundance often follows flushes of annual plant growth that follow favorable rains is well established. The ultimate reason for this pattern has not been established. Competition is important as well, but predation and parasitism have received little consideration. Distribution: Patterns of distribution have been shown to correspond to temperature, moisture, substrate, or vegetative parameters. An important question that remains is to …
Adaptive Physiology Of Heteromyid Rodents, Richard E. Macmillen
Adaptive Physiology Of Heteromyid Rodents, Richard E. Macmillen
Great Basin Naturalist Memoirs
Heteromyid rodents are distributed from the New World tropics to the deserts of North America, but their habitation of deserts is relatively recent. Their evolutionary history, though, is associated with progressive aridity, with larger quadrupedal taxa being more mesic (and primitive), and smaller quadrupeds and all bipeds more xeric. The correlation between water regulatory efficiency and body mass is strongly negative in heteromyids; bipedal Dipodomys spp. have water regulatory efficiency fixed at an intermediate level independent of mass. Heteroymids generally have basal metabolic rates reduced below the eutherian level, with the greatest reductions occurring in desert species. The use of …
