Recovery Of Gambel Oak After Fire In Central Utah, L. M. Kunzler, K. T. Harper Jun 1980

Recovery Of Gambel Oak After Fire In Central Utah, L. M. Kunzler, K. T. Harper

Great Basin Naturalist

The height of oak (Quercus gambelii Nutt.) stems was measured on several fire scars within the Uinta National Forest and vicinity and compared with the height of oak stems on adjacent, nonburned areas. A significant relationship exists between the recovery rate of oak after fire and elevation, with the recovery rate being greatest at low elevations. A trend also exists showing that recovery tends to be greater on south to westerly exposures than on north to easterly exposures.

Relationships Among Total Dissolved Solids, Conductivity, And Osmosity For Five Artemia Habitats (Anostraca: Artemiidae), Nicholas C. Collins, Gray Stirling Jun 1980

Relationships Among Total Dissolved Solids, Conductivity, And Osmosity For Five Artemia Habitats (Anostraca: Artemiidae), Nicholas C. Collins, Gray Stirling

Great Basin Naturalist

Graphs allowing interconversion between various physical chemical parameters are presented for five Artemia habitats in the western USA. Both the mean osmosity and its typical yearly range differ greatly among habitats. Consequently, Artemia populations provide an interesting opportunity to study physiological and life history adaptations to differing degrees of habitat stability.

Terminal Bud Formation In Limber Pine, Ronald M. Lanner, James A. Bryan Jun 1980

Terminal Bud Formation In Limber Pine, Ronald M. Lanner, James A. Bryan

Great Basin Naturalist

The progress of bud development was studied in limber pines growing in the mountains of northeastern Utah. Initiation of new bud scales began in mid-June, several weeks after elongation of the current shoot had begun. Needle primordia first appeared in September and continued to form through the winter, until all were present in May. This winter activity is believed to be fostered by surface temperatures on the terminal buds considerably higher than ambient air temperatures.

The Genus Eriogonum Michx. (Polygonaceae) And Michel Gandoger, James L. Reveal Jun 1980

The Genus Eriogonum Michx. (Polygonaceae) And Michel Gandoger, James L. Reveal

Great Basin Naturalist

Michel Gandoger, a notorious "splitter," proposed several new entities in the plant genus Eriogonum (Polygonaceae) in a 1906 paper published in Belgium. Because he used the term species at two different ranks, in violation of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, many of his names are invalid. Unlike his papers published in France, this one was apparently edited so that some names were validly published and some are invalid. A review of the 1906 Eriogonum paper shows that a majority of both specific and infraspecific entities proposed are valid, but some names, long in use and assumed to be valid, …

Habitat And Plant Distributions In Hanging Gardens Of The Narrows, Zion National Park, Utah, George P. Malanson Jun 1980

Habitat And Plant Distributions In Hanging Gardens Of The Narrows, Zion National Park, Utah, George P. Malanson

Great Basin Naturalist

Hanging gardens are insular plant communities of the Colorado Plateau. This study examines hanging gardens in the Narrows, Zion National Park, Utah. The floristic similarity of gardens and the presence of species in classes of variables which characterize the habitat are disclosed. Although the gardens are isolated and dissimilar, the individual species are not restricted in the range of habitat found. Floristic dissimilarity cannot be attributed to differences in habitat. These results are compared to studies of hanging gardens in eastern Utah.

Identity Of Narrow-Leaved Chysothamnus Viscidiflorus (Asteraceae), Loran C. Anderson Jun 1980

Identity Of Narrow-Leaved Chysothamnus Viscidiflorus (Asteraceae), Loran C. Anderson

Great Basin Naturalist

Two groups of glabrous, narrow-leaved Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus (Asteraceae) are perceived, and appropriate taxonomic combinations are made, i.e., C. v. ssp. viscidiflorus var. stenophyllus and C. v. ssp. axillaris. The two are fairly distinct geographically, and they can be separated by floral morphology. A key to all species of section Chrysothamnus (to which C. viscidiflorus belongs) is given.

Relationship Between Environmental And Vegetational Parameters For Understory And Open-Area Communities, William E. Evenson, Jack D. Brotherson, Richard B. Wilcox Jun 1980

Relationship Between Environmental And Vegetational Parameters For Understory And Open-Area Communities, William E. Evenson, Jack D. Brotherson, Richard B. Wilcox

Great Basin Naturalist

Ten individuals from each of four tree species were selected, and their associated understory and adjacent open-area communities were sampled for both environmental and vegetational parameters, including light intensity, pH, litter depth, soil depth, and percentages of exposed rock, litter cover, living cover, shrubs, forbs, grasses, and annuals. The four tree species were ponderosa pine, Rocky Mountain juniper, Gambel oak, and snowbrush ceanothus. The study site was in the lower Uinta Mountains about 10 miles east of Kamas, Utah. Correlations among the various biotic and abiotic parameters were examined. The interplay of these factors in differentiating the understory and open-area …

Feeding Ecology Of Gila Boraxobius (Osteichthyes: Cyprinidae) Endemic To A Thermal Lake In Southeastern Oregon, Jack E. Williams, Cynthia D. Williams Jun 1980

Feeding Ecology Of Gila Boraxobius (Osteichthyes: Cyprinidae) Endemic To A Thermal Lake In Southeastern Oregon, Jack E. Williams, Cynthia D. Williams

Great Basin Naturalist

Gila boraxobius is a dwarf species of cyprinid endemic to a thermal lake in southeastern Oregon. Despite a relatively depauperate fauna and flora in the lake, 24 food items were found in intestines of G. boraxobius. Ten of the 24 foods, including six insects, were of terrestrial origin. The relative importance of food items fluctuated seasonally. Diatoms, chironomid larvae, microcrustaceans, and dipteran adults were the primary foods during spring. In summer, diatoms decreased and terrestrial insects increased in importance. During autumn important foods were terrestrial insects, chironomid larvae, and diatoms. Diatoms and microcrustaceans increased in importance during winter. Chironomid larvae …

Parasites From Two Species Of Suckers (Catostomidae) From Southern Utah, J. Craig Brienholt, Richard A. Heckmann Jun 1980

Parasites From Two Species Of Suckers (Catostomidae) From Southern Utah, J. Craig Brienholt, Richard A. Heckmann

Great Basin Naturalist

Twenty Catostomus latipinnis and 50 Catostomus discobolis from La Verkin Creek and the Fremont River in southern Utah were collected and surveyed for parasites. Data from the survey indicated that 83 percent of the fish were infected with at least one parasite, with the fish from La Verkin Creek harboring more parasites. Twelve genera and 12 species of parasites were identified from these fish. A monogenetic trematode, Gyrodactylus elegans, which was found in 90 percent of the fish, was the most common parasite. Comments are included on habitat and host variations for the parasitofauna from suckers taken from the two …

Seasonal Activity Pattern Of Columbian Ground Squirrels In The Idaho Primitive Area, Charles L. Elliott, Jerran T. Flinders Jun 1980

Seasonal Activity Pattern Of Columbian Ground Squirrels In The Idaho Primitive Area, Charles L. Elliott, Jerran T. Flinders

Great Basin Naturalist

Data were gathered concerning the seasonal activity pattern of a population of Columbian ground squirrels (Spermophilus columbianus) in the Idaho Primitive Area. Adult females were significantly more active in June of all years than were adult males. A relationship between ground squirrel activity and temperature is postulated in which the squirrels alter their activity so as to avoid high temperatures and possible heat stress.

Stinger Utilization And Predation In The Scorpion Paruroctonus Boreus, Bruce S. Cushing, Anne Matherne Jun 1980

Stinger Utilization And Predation In The Scorpion Paruroctonus Boreus, Bruce S. Cushing, Anne Matherne

Great Basin Naturalist

The utilization of the stinger and the predatory technique of the scorpion, Paruroctonus boreus, was studied under laboratory conditions. During the study, 83 feedings were observed. Age of the scorpions and the percentage of prey stung by them were used to classify the scorpions into groups. The scorpions aged 13–61 days always stung prey. After 62 days the scorpions began to selectively utilize the stinger. Utilization declined until it reached 30 percent in the adult stage. The stinger is apparently necessary for prey capture only in the early life stages.

Soil Water Withdrawal And Root Distribution Under Grubbed, Sprayed, And Undisturbed Big Sagebrush Vegetation, David L. Sturges Jun 1980

Soil Water Withdrawal And Root Distribution Under Grubbed, Sprayed, And Undisturbed Big Sagebrush Vegetation, David L. Sturges

Great Basin Naturalist

Seasonal depletion by vegetation where sagebrush was selectively removed by grubbing and where sagebrush was sprayed with 2,4-D was 33 and 12 percent less, respectively, than that for undisturbed big sagebrush vegetation in the surface 122 cm of soil. Differences were located primarily below 61 cm in vegetation grubbed the previous fall and below 91 cm in vegetation sprayed three years previously. Total root weights under grubbed and sprayed vegetation were 29 and 16 percent less, respectively, than for undisturbed big sagebrush vegetation. Total herbaceous production by grubbed and sprayed vegetation was 69 and 43 percent less, respectively, than production …

Short-Term Effects Of Logging On Red-Backed Voles And Deer Mice, Thomas M. Campbell Iii, Tim W. Clark Jun 1980

Short-Term Effects Of Logging On Red-Backed Voles And Deer Mice, Thomas M. Campbell Iii, Tim W. Clark

Great Basin Naturalist

Clearcutting and selective logging effects on red-backed voles (Clethrionomys gapperi) and deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) were studied (September–November, 1975; June–October, 1976) in Bridger–Teton National Forest, Wyoming. Five selective cuts (total 137 ha) removed 57 percent (range 34–74 percent) of the trees. One clearcut (9.6 ha) eliminate 84 percent of the trees. Soils remained mesic in selective cuts, but became xeric in the clearcut. Snap-trapping indicated that voles were most abundant on the unlogged and selectively cut mesic sites (76 percent of 408 captures), whereas deer mice were more common on the xeric clearcut (80 percent of …

Tracing Your Swiss Roots. By Maralyn A. Wellauer., Sandra H. Luebking Jun 1980

Tracing Your Swiss Roots. By Maralyn A. Wellauer., Sandra H. Luebking

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

These three works offer a pleasantly optimistic view of Swiss research. The disadvantages of not one, but four, national languages, (German, French, Italian , and Romansh), and a lack of federal census schedules or military pension files are more than offset by the availability of records relatively untouched by war, political instability, or extensive civil boundary changes. Particularly reassuring is Mr. Nielson's observation that, with few exceptions, one can trace his lineage in Switzerland to about the time of the Reformation. However, success is not synonymous with simplicity. All three authors stress the inability of one publica tion to deal …
