Utah Flora: Rosaceae, Stanley L. Welsh Mar 1982

Utah Flora: Rosaceae, Stanley L. Welsh

Great Basin Naturalist

A revision of the rose family, Rosaceae, is presented for the state of Utah. Included are 115 species and 9 varieties of indigenous and introduced plants in 35 genera. A key to the genera and species is provided, along with detailed descriptions, distributional data, and pertinent comments. Proposed as a new taxon is Crataegus douglasii Lindl. var. duchesnensis Welsh. New combinations include Potentilla concinna Richards var. bicrenata (Rydb.) Welsh & Johnston; P. concinna var. modesta (Rydb.) Welsh & Johnston; P. concinna var. proxima (Rydb.) Welsh & Johnston; P. glandulosa Lindl. var. micropetala (Rydb.) Welsh & Johnston; P. ovina J. M. …

The Prevalence Of Echinococcus Granulosus And Other Taeniid Cestodes In Sheep Dogs Of Central Utah, Lauritz A. Jensen, Ferron L. Andersen, Peter M. Schantz Mar 1982

The Prevalence Of Echinococcus Granulosus And Other Taeniid Cestodes In Sheep Dogs Of Central Utah, Lauritz A. Jensen, Ferron L. Andersen, Peter M. Schantz

Great Basin Naturalist

Fifty-one of 62 sheep dogs in central Utah were successfully purged for diagnosis of cestodes in 1981. Tapeworms were identified in the purged fecal samples of 33 (64.7 percent) animals. Minimum infection rates in the dogs which were purged were: 9.8 percent for Echinococcus granulosus, 29.4 percent for Taenia pisiformis, 27.5 percent for T. ovis krabbei, 27.5 percent for T. hydatigena, and 2.0 percent for T. serialis. The prevalence of E. granulosus decreased from 27 percent in 1971 to 9.8 percent in 1981.


Growth Of Juvenile American Lobsters In Semiopen And Closed Culture Systems Using Formulated Diets, S. R. Wadley, R. A. Heckmann, R. C. Infanger, R. W. Mickelsen Mar 1982

Growth Of Juvenile American Lobsters In Semiopen And Closed Culture Systems Using Formulated Diets, S. R. Wadley, R. A. Heckmann, R. C. Infanger, R. W. Mickelsen

Great Basin Naturalist

Growth of juvenile American lobsters, Homarus americanus, raised in four semiopen culture systems, with daily water exchange rates ranging from 29 percent to 3.3 percent, was compared with growth in a completely closed system. Animals were fed a formulated pelleted ration, water quality factors were measured daily, and changes in concentration of nitrate, orthophosphate, and total organic carbon were monitored. Results of two 90-day trials indicate that growth increased in the system with the lower water exchange rates. Maximum growth occurred in the closed system.


Diameter-Weight Relationships For Juniper From Wet And Dry Sites, T. Weaver, R. Lund Mar 1982

Diameter-Weight Relationships For Juniper From Wet And Dry Sites, T. Weaver, R. Lund

Great Basin Naturalist

Height-diameter (basal or canopy) relationships for Juniperus scopulorum trees taken from wet and dry sites were quite different, but total aboveground weight-diameter relationships for trees taken from the two sites did not differ. It is shown that log total weight (kg) = approximately 1.7 + 2.26 log basal diameter (cm) =−2.55 + 2.98 log canopy diameter (cm). Though the first relationship (r2 = 0.98) is stronger than the second (r2 = 0.80), the canopy diameter-weight relationship may be useful for estimating tree weights from aerial photos. Root-shoot ratios for wet site trees 5, 12, and 31 cm in …

Seasonal Foods Of Coyotes In Southeastern Idaho: A Multivariate Analysis, James G. Maccracken, Richard M. Hansen Mar 1982

Seasonal Foods Of Coyotes In Southeastern Idaho: A Multivariate Analysis, James G. Maccracken, Richard M. Hansen

Great Basin Naturalist

Seasonal foods of coyotes (Canis latrans) inhabiting the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory site were examined using step-wise discriminant analysis. Significant differences (P < 0.01) were detected among seasons in food consumption by coyotes, where univariate statistical analysis failed to recognize differences. Recognition of seasonal changes in foods consumed by coyotes is essential to understanding coyote feeding strategies. The role opportunistic behavior plays in coyote food selection on the study area is questioned.


Structure Of Alpine Plant Communities Near King's Peak, Uinta Mountains, Utah, George M. Briggs, James A. Macmahon Mar 1982

Structure Of Alpine Plant Communities Near King's Peak, Uinta Mountains, Utah, George M. Briggs, James A. Macmahon

Great Basin Naturalist

A study was made at 18 sites with elevations between 3512 and 3768 m in the Uinta Mountains, Utah. Sites were small in extent but typified vegetation patterns found in the Uintas. Standing crop, species composition (based on dry weight), and values for several physical parameters were determined at each site. Simple linear regressions performed between the various biotic and abiotic characters revealed significant relationships between the characteristics of rocks visible at the surface (the number, size, and variation in size) and vegetation cover. This relationship was probably due to the burial of rocks as a region became vegetated. Bray …


Description Of The Female Of Phalacropsylla Hamata (Siphonaptera: Hystrichopsyllidae), R. B. Eads, G. O. Maupin Mar 1982

Description Of The Female Of Phalacropsylla Hamata (Siphonaptera: Hystrichopsyllidae), R. B. Eads, G. O. Maupin

Great Basin Naturalist

The previously unknown female of Phalacropsylla hamata Tipton & Mendez is described and an allotype is designated. A key is provided to aid in distinguishing females of this genus.

Observations On The Reproduction And Embryology Of The Lahontan Tui Chub, Gila Bicolor, In Walker Lake, Nevada, James J. Cooper Mar 1982

Observations On The Reproduction And Embryology Of The Lahontan Tui Chub, Gila Bicolor, In Walker Lake, Nevada, James J. Cooper

Great Basin Naturalist

Various aspects of the reproduction and embryology of Walker Lake Lahontan tui chub, Gila bicolor, were investigated during the spring–summer period of 1976, 1977, and 1981. Tui chub were found to spawn in littoral regions of the lake beginning in late May or early June. Early in the season male chub substantially outnumbered females over the spawning grounds, with a normal 1:1 sex ratio gradually approached as the season progressed. The developmental period between fertilization to hatch-out was shortened by increases in water temperature. Selected stages of embryonic development are described from egg fertilization through post-hatch.


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.


Paspalum Distichum L. Var. Indutum Shinners (Poaceae), Kelly Wayne Allred Mar 1982

Paspalum Distichum L. Var. Indutum Shinners (Poaceae), Kelly Wayne Allred

Great Basin Naturalist

Glabrous Paspalum distichum, pubescent var. indutum, and pubescent plants of P. distichum from the western United States were compared. No morphological differences other than pubescence exist between the three forms. Plants from the eastern United States are generally more glabrous than those from western regions. The var. indutum represents an extreme pubescent form and is reduced to synonymy under P. distichum.
