Alarm Call Of The Pygmy Rabbit (Brachylagus Idahoensis), Jeffrey S. Green, Jerran T. Flinders Mar 1981

Alarm Call Of The Pygmy Rabbit (Brachylagus Idahoensis), Jeffrey S. Green, Jerran T. Flinders

Great Basin Naturalist

An alarm vocalization was identified in the pygmy rabbit. The call was composed of from one to seven syllables uttered in rapid succession. The syllables were complex tones with many overlying frequencies; the strongest occurred close to harmonic intervals at 4000 and 6000 Hz. In both laboratory and field conditions, the call seemed to be elicited by a potential predator and its use may be unique among leporids.

Compositional Similarity Within The Oakbrush Type In Central And Northern Utah, L. M. Kunzler, K. T. Harper, D. B. Kunzler Mar 1981

Compositional Similarity Within The Oakbrush Type In Central And Northern Utah, L. M. Kunzler, K. T. Harper, D. B. Kunzler

Great Basin Naturalist

Indices of similarity were used to evaluate the similarity of oakbrush stands throughout the Uinta National Forest and to compare oak communities in central and northern Utah. Results show that Gambel oak stands in central Utah differ significantly among themselves in respect to quantitative aspects of the vegetation. Those differences can be correlated with elevation, slope exposure, and fire history. Nevertheless, there is currently inadequate justification for recognizing more than one habitat type for the species in the study area. There is a need to develop a model capable of predicting growth rate of oak on specific sites.


Reptile Population Changes With Manipulation Of Sonoran Desert Shrub, David J. Germano, C. Roger Hungerford Mar 1981

Reptile Population Changes With Manipulation Of Sonoran Desert Shrub, David J. Germano, C. Roger Hungerford

Great Basin Naturalist

The diversity and abundance of reptiles were studied in three vegetation types on the Santa Rita Experimental Range, Arizona. Total reptile sightings were greatest in undisturbed mesquite and mesquite with irregularly shaped clearings. No zebra-tailed lizards (Callisaurus draconoides) or desert spiny lizards (Sceloporus magister) were seen, and significantly fewer western whiptails (Cnemidophorus tigris) were in the mesquite-free area. Only the Sonora spotted whiptail (Cnemidophorus sonorae) was significantly more abundant in the mesquite-free area than in the undisturbed mesquite. In an effort to increase grass production for cattle in mesquite grasslands, it is …


Eriogonum Divaricatum Hook (Polygonaceae), An Intermountain Species In Argentina, James L. Reveal Mar 1981

Eriogonum Divaricatum Hook (Polygonaceae), An Intermountain Species In Argentina, James L. Reveal

Great Basin Naturalist

Erogonum divaricatum, an annual herb of clay slopes and flats in the Green and Colorado river drainage basin of the western United States, was found at the turn of the century in three locations in southern Argentina. The South American material was described in 1902 as a new species of Erogonum, E. ameghinoi Speg., and this name was the basionym for a new monotypic genus, Sanmartinia M. Buchinger, proposed in 1950. The species has not been rediscovered in Argentina, and the presence of the species in South America was probably the result of a long-distance dispersal event involving shore birds.


Ultrastructure Of Eocene Fossil Plants, E. M. V. Nambudiri, W. D. Tidwell, W. M. Hess Mar 1981

Ultrastructure Of Eocene Fossil Plants, E. M. V. Nambudiri, W. D. Tidwell, W. M. Hess

Great Basin Naturalist

Petrified leaf and pericarpic tissues from the Eocene Deccan Intertrappean beds of India were studied using light and transmission electron microscopy. Degradated cytoplasm with organellelike bodies are present in cells of the leaf tissues. TEM of these cells revealed wall structure and cytoplasmic residues. Microfibril distribution of pericarpic cells resembles fiber cells in extant angiosperms.


Revised Checklist Of The Vascular Plants Of Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah, Hayle Buchanan, Robert Graybosch Mar 1981

Revised Checklist Of The Vascular Plants Of Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah, Hayle Buchanan, Robert Graybosch

Great Basin Naturalist

Prior to 1960, when the senior author wrote a dissertation on the plant ecology of the Paunsaugunt Plateau forests of Bryce Canyon National Park, relatively little plant taxonomic work had been done in the area. A checklist was prepared in 1971 that included 218 species of higher plants. During the field seasons 1978, 1979, and 1980, additional plants were collected during a second plant community study of the forests. The junior author spent the summer of 1980 at the park collecting plants in additional plant communities and organizing the herbarium collection. This checklist includes the additional species collected and updates …


Preliminary Index Of Utah Vascular Plant Names, S. L. Welsh, N. D. Atwood, S. Goodrich, E. Neese, K. H. Thome, Beverly Albee Mar 1981

Preliminary Index Of Utah Vascular Plant Names, S. L. Welsh, N. D. Atwood, S. Goodrich, E. Neese, K. H. Thome, Beverly Albee

Great Basin Naturalist

Presented herein is an index to vascular plant names of Utah. The names are arranged in alphabetical order by genus, species, and infraspecific taxa. Each entry is followed by a bibliographic citation, family name, rarity (whether endemic, rare, or endemic-rare), and origin (whether indigenous, adventive, or adventive-cultivated). Pertinent synonyms are cited beneath appropriate entries. An index of synonyms and a comprehensive bibliography are included.
