Insular Biogeography Of Mammals In The Great Salt Lake, Michael A. Bowers Dec 1982

Insular Biogeography Of Mammals In The Great Salt Lake, Michael A. Bowers

Great Basin Naturalist

The distribution of 21 species of nonvolant mammals among nine islands in the Great Salt Lake was analyzed for biogeographic patterns. The number of species inhabiting an island is closely correlated with island area That the slope of the regression line describing this relationship (z or b) is relatively shallow compared to (1) totally isolated island systems or (2) island systems where an equilibrium between rates of colonization and extinction have been attained suggests that isolation plays little role in accounting for the variation in mammalian species diversity among islands. Stepwise multiple regression confirms this, while demonstrating that area alone …

Observations On Woundfin Spawning And Growth In An Outdoor Experimental Stream, Paul Greger, James E. Deacon Dec 1982

Observations On Woundfin Spawning And Growth In An Outdoor Experimental Stream, Paul Greger, James E. Deacon

Great Basin Naturalist

The response of woundfin to different substrates and current speeds was investigated in an outdoor experimental stream. Fish spawned in groups of 15–20 over 5–10 cm rock substrate in a .06 to .09 m/sec current at a depth of 10 cm. Eggs were adhesive on the undersides of the rocks. Fish spawned under these conditions grew to approximately 55–60 mm TL in 5 months.

Effects Of Defoliation On Reproduction Of A Toxic Range Plant, Zigadenus Paniculatus, V. J. Tepedino Dec 1982

Effects Of Defoliation On Reproduction Of A Toxic Range Plant, Zigadenus Paniculatus, V. J. Tepedino

Great Basin Naturalist

The effect of complete defoliation, prior to flower stalk appearance, on the reproductive success of foothill deathcamas, a toxic range plant, was studied in northern Utah. Defoliated plants did not replace their leaves. Defoliation had no effect on total number of flower stalks produced but did significantly slow the rate of stalk emergence and reduce the number of plants that produced open flowers. The number of leaves produced by control plants was also positively associated with the probability of producing a flowering stalk. Few plants in either defoliated or control treatments set seed, probably because of inactivity of pollinators during …

The Raccoon, Procyon Iotor, In Wyoming, E. Blake Hart Dec 1982

The Raccoon, Procyon Iotor, In Wyoming, E. Blake Hart

Great Basin Naturalist

Recent distribution maps show raccoon as occupying only the extreme eastern-northeastern portion of Wyoming. However, there is substantial evidence that raccoon are common throughout Wyoming and currently inhabit all the major and many of the minor drainages throughout Wyoming.

Early Development Of The Razorback Sucker, Xyrauchen Texanus (Abbott), W. L. Minckley, Eric S. Gustafson Dec 1982

Early Development Of The Razorback Sucker, Xyrauchen Texanus (Abbott), W. L. Minckley, Eric S. Gustafson

Great Basin Naturalist

Fertilized ova of razorback sucker, Xyrauchen texanus, were adhesive for 3 to 4 hours after fertilization. Cleavage was completed at 24 hours, gastrulation occurred at 34 hours, and blood circulation was established at 117 hours. Hatching occurred from 5.2 to 5.5 days after fertilization. Larvae were from 6.8 to 7.3 mm TL at hatching. Yolk was assimilated at 13 days (10 mm TL). All fins were formed and had ossified rays at 64 days (27 mm TL). The unique nuchal keel appeared about 200 days after fertilization.

Vegetal Responses And Big Game Values After Thinning Regenerating Lodgepole Pine, D. D. Austin, Philip J. Urness Dec 1982

Vegetal Responses And Big Game Values After Thinning Regenerating Lodgepole Pine, D. D. Austin, Philip J. Urness

Great Basin Naturalist

Understory vegetal response was found to significantly increase with the degree of thinning in an early regenerating, dense stand of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta). The value of the increased vegetation for deer and elk was determined to be important through comparisons with known dietary and habitat preferences.

Behavior And Habitat Preferences Of Ring-Necked Pheasants During Late Winter In Central Utah, Jeffrey G. Skousen, Jack D. Brotherson Dec 1982

Behavior And Habitat Preferences Of Ring-Necked Pheasants During Late Winter In Central Utah, Jeffrey G. Skousen, Jack D. Brotherson

Great Basin Naturalist

Ring-necked pheasant behavior and habitat preferences were studied during late February along benches of the Wasatch Mountains in central Utah. Seven behavioral categories were used to classify pheasant activities during three time periods of the day. Eating, alert, and movement behavior were the most frequent activities during all periods of the day. Significant differences (p < .01) were found between morning and midday behavior and between midday and evening behavior. Pheasants fed in open areas during morning hours then retreated into heavy cover during midday periods. The birds remained in heavy cover until late afternoon. Pheasants then moved away from heavy cover into semiopen areas to feed as evening approached.

Dorsal Hair Length And Coat Color In Abert's Squirrel (Sciurus Aberti), Denis C. Hancock Jr., Donald J. Nash Dec 1982

Dorsal Hair Length And Coat Color In Abert's Squirrel (Sciurus Aberti), Denis C. Hancock Jr., Donald J. Nash

Great Basin Naturalist

Sciurus aberti, like many other sciurids including Sciurus vulgaris and Sciurus carolinensis, shows a coat color polymorphism. Like Sciurus vulgaris, Sciurus aberti shows a correlation between coat color phase and dorsal hair length. Both squirrels show an increased frequency of dark morphs in the northern portions of their respective ranges.

Intercanine Crown Distances In Red Foxes And Badgers, E. Blake Hart Dec 1982

Intercanine Crown Distances In Red Foxes And Badgers, E. Blake Hart

Great Basin Naturalist

Intercanine crown distances of 605 wild South Dakota red foxes and 249 badgers of unknown age were measured; adults and juveniles were diagnosed by radiographs of canine teeth. In foxes, T-tests between similar age, between similar sex, and between combined age groups were significant at .01. In badgers, significance was found only between adult males and juvenile males and between adult males and adult females at .05.

Distribution And Relative Abundance Of Fish In Ruth Reservoir, California, In Relation To Environmental Variables, Steven Vigg, Thomas J. Hassler Dec 1982

Distribution And Relative Abundance Of Fish In Ruth Reservoir, California, In Relation To Environmental Variables, Steven Vigg, Thomas J. Hassler

Great Basin Naturalist

The fish population of Ruth Reservoir, California, was sampled every two weeks with variable mesh gill nets from May 1974 through May 1975. Fish were captured in the following order of numerical abundance: Humboldt sucker (Catostomus humboldtianus), golden shiner (Notemigonus crysoleucus), brown bullhead (Ictalurus nebulosus), white catfish (I. catus), rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri), and largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). The three most abundant species made up about 95 percent of total numbers and weight. All species exhibited a similar cyclic temporal availability pattern: catch rates increased to a maximum …

Iii. Switzerland And The Era, Hanna Widrig Nov 1982

Iii. Switzerland And The Era, Hanna Widrig

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

A little over a year ago the Swiss voters surprised the world with the acceptance of a referendum that added an equal rights amendment to the Swiss Federal Constitution. Is there an explanation for this sudden change of the rather conservative Swiss heart? Why was it that the Swiss equal rights amendment passed within the short span of ten years after Swiss women got the right to vote, when American women who have been enfranchised since 1921 were unsuccessful in the same pursuit? What was the Swiss strategy for this outcome, and what has been done in the past year …

Ii. Karl Herzog, The Historian As Activist: An Episode From The Time Of The Sonderbund, Sabine Jessner Nov 1982

Ii. Karl Herzog, The Historian As Activist: An Episode From The Time Of The Sonderbund, Sabine Jessner

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

The Swiss historian Karl Herzog was one of the innumerable middle-class intellectuals who exercised an influential role on European liberal politics in the first half of the nineteenth century. Many scholars have analyzed the participation of the bourgeoisie in political life, and they reach novel definitions concerning membership of this intellectual group within the middle class. Historians such as Robert R. Palmer, Alfred Cobban, L.C.B. Seaman and Lenore O'Boyle have devoted particular attention to this concern. For example, the British historian Seaman has cautioned his readers to substitute the expression "professional classes" or "liberal professions" wherever he encounters the word, …

A Mathematical Contraction And Automated Analysis Of Internal Controls, Andrew D. Bailey Jr, Gordon Leon Duke, James Gerlach, Chen-En Ko, Rayman D. Meservy, Andrew B. Whinton Nov 1982

A Mathematical Contraction And Automated Analysis Of Internal Controls, Andrew D. Bailey Jr, Gordon Leon Duke, James Gerlach, Chen-En Ko, Rayman D. Meservy, Andrew B. Whinton

Faculty Publications

This paper presents a precedent oriented computer assisted method of designing, analyzing and evaluating systems of internal controls. The ..!..nternal Control _!iodel, TICOM III, is fundamentally a design and analysis tool useful in the context of Automated Office Information Systems (AOIS's). Traditional analysis and evaluation tools, such as flowcharting, written narratives and questionnaires, are inefficient, if not insufficient, to support the design and control analysis of these new systems. The advantages of TICOM III over traditional methods such as narrative description, questionnaires and flowcharts are: (1) the evaluation can be more rigorous and exhaustive because of the speed, accuracy and …
