Long-Term Plant Survival And Density Data From Reclaimed Southwestern Coal Mine Spoils, Earl F. Aldon

Great Basin Naturalist

Plantings on northwestern New Mexico raw mine spoils from 1973, examined for establishment (1975) and survival (1979), showed 75 percent survival of fourwing saltbush (Atriplex canescens (Pursh) Nutt.), each plant occupying 2.32 m² (1.52  × 1.52 m). Alkali sacaton (Sporobolus airoides (Torr.) Torr.) cover was 4 percent and had a density of 0.05 plant per m².

Coyote-Badger Associations, Philip N. Lehner

Great Basin Naturalist

Four observations made in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, indicate that coyote–badger associations are best considered as phoretic (accidental and nonobligatory) rather than a form of social symbiosis as has been previously suggested.

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 …

Additional Records Of The Dark Kangaroo Mouse (Microdipodops Megacephalus Nasutus), With A New Maximum Altitude, Harold J. Egoscue

Great Basin Naturalist

Three specimens of Microdipodops megacephalus nasutus were captured in the Wassuk Mountains of western Mineral County, Nevada, which provide a second place of occurrence for the subspecies and a new altitudinal record of 2455 m for the genus. This is the first time this species has been found in the pinyon-juniper belt.

Adapting Salt Creek Pupfish (Cyprinodon Salinus) To Fresh Water, Thomas M. Baugh

Great Basin Naturalist

The Salt Creek pupfish, Cyprinodon salinus, is adapted to fresh water in aquaria.

Pocket Gophers (Thomomys Talpoides) In Successional Stages Of Spruce-Fir Forest In Idaho, Jerry H. Scrivner, H. Duane Smith

Great Basin Naturalist

This study examined (1) the relative abundance of the pocket gopher (Thomomys talpoides) in four successive stages (1–10, 11–39, 40–79, and 80+ years following disturbance) of spruce-fir forest; (2) the relationship between number of gopher sign (mounds and earth plugs) with gopher density; and (3) a method of sampling pocket gopher populations using a 500 by 4 m strip transect. The number of gopher mounds was significantly correlated with the number of earth plugs. Data were pooled and a categorical log linear analysis used to test for significant differences in pocket gopher sign between the four successive stages. …

Unusual Tooth Wear In Elk At Glacier National Park, Montana, Keith Shaw

Great Basin Naturalist

An unusual wear pattern in the cheek teeth of elk-wapiti, in which the third premolars and first molars of the upper jaw wear excessively into corresponding teeth in the lower jaw, was found in a Glacier National Park, Montana, elk skull. This unusual wear pattern was previously reported from elk of the Yellowstone-Jackson, Wyoming, herd.

Viability Of Seed From Thirty-Two Shrub And Forb Species Through Fifteen Years Of Warehouse Storage, Richard Stevens, Kent R. Jorgensen, James N. Davis

Great Basin Naturalist

Germination results were obtained from seed stored in an open warehouse in Sanpete County, Utah, over a 15-year period for 18 shrub and 14 forb species. Seed viability was not appreciably affected for 14 species stored at least 15 years. Seed viability did, however, significantly decrease for two species stored 10 years, for five species stored 7 years, for seven species stored 5 years, for three species stored 4 years, and for one species stored only 3 years.

Bird Community Composition In Relation To Habitat And Season In Betatakin Canyon, Navajo National Monument, Arizona, Jack D. Brotherson, Lee A. Szyska, William E. Evenson

Great Basin Naturalist

Bird species density, diversity, and species richness in relation to habitat and seasonal variations were studied in the Betatakin Canyon area of Navajo National Monument, Arizona. The two most prominent habitat types are a riparian forest deep in the canyon bottom and a mature pinyon-juniper woodland on the mesas and slopes above the canyon. One hundred thirty-five species of birds were encountered during the study and recorded by season and habitat. The avifauna assemblages demonstrate definite habitat selection into groups associated with the riparian and pinyon-juniper woodland communities. Diversity, density, and species richness were greatest in the riparian habitat during …

Attitudes Of Clog Dancers Regarding The Formation Of A National Association, Dennis H. Cobia

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to investigate the attitudes of Clog Dancers in regards to forming one unified National Clog Dancing Association.

The study found the following results: 1) the majority of clog dancers and leaders want one unified National Association, 2) competition and exhibition festivals should be continued, 3) dance terminology should be standardized, and 4) the more number of years a person is involved in clog dancing the more they want a unified National _Organization.
