New Synonymy And New Species Of American Bark Beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), Part Viii, Stephen L. Wood

Great Basin Naturalist

New synonymy of American Scolytidae is proposed as follows: Acacacis, Lea ( = Neodiamerus Schedl), Gnatholeptus panamensis Blackman ( = Pityophthorus epistomalis Schedl), Gnatholeptus shannoni (Blackman) ( = Gnatholeptus mandibularis Blackman, Pityophthorus gentilis Schedl), Gymnochilus reitteri Eichhoff ( = Problechilus striatus Eggers, Problechilus bicolor Eggers), Hylastes scabripennis (Zimmermann) ( = Hylastes salebrosus Eichhoff), Hylurgopinus opaculus (LeConte) ( = Hylastes rufipes Eichhoff), Ips perturbatus (Eichhoff) ( = Tomicus interpunctus Eichhoff), Monarthrum dimidiatum (Ferrari) ( = Pterocyclon moritzi Eichhoff), Pityophthorus subcribratus Schedl ( = Pityophthorus zeteki Blackman), Scolytodes trispinosus Eggers ( = Scolytodes elongatus Schedl), Xyleborus costaricensis Blandford ( = Xyleborus nevermanni …

Bee Visitation Of Phlox Bryoides (Polemoniaceae), V. J. Tepedino

Great Basin Naturalist

Collections of diurnal insects from a population of Phlox bryoides on shortgrass prairie in southeastern Wyoming showed the flowers to be visited predominantly by Synhalonia fulvitarsis, a long-tongued bee. Analysis of pollen loads carried by captured bees revealed that almost all individuals were collecting Phlox pollen. P. bryoides may be an exception to the generalization that the genus Phlox is exclusively pollinated by Lepidoptera.

Preliminary Survey Of Raptor Species In The Manti Division, Manti–Lasal National Forest, Stephen G. Jones

Great Basin Naturalist

A preliminary survey of raptor species and habitat in the Manti Division, Manti-LaSal National Forest, was conducted during May 1977. Eight species of raptors were recorded, the most common being the Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) and American Kestrel (Falco sparverius). Nine additional nesting and migratory species were reported by cooperating observers and based on habitat analysis another two species are expected. Eleven Golden Eagles, representing at least eight pairs, were observed and it is estimated that from 15 to 20 pairs of eagles inhabit the division. The Manti Division provides habitat for two endangered species, the …

Chemical Composition Of Some Important Plants Of Southeastern Utah Summer Ranges Related To Mule Deer Reproduction, Jordan C. Pederson, K. T. Harper

Great Basin Naturalist

Chemical composition of some major forage plants of mountain summer ranges of southeastern Utah is reported. Grasses are shown to contain significantly less nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium than either forbs or shrubs. Forbs and shrubs are demonstrated to differ significantly only in potassium content; forbs tested contained more potassium than shrubs. The chemical composition of the forage plants is discussed in relation to mule deer reproductive rates. It is concluded that protein and mineral content of the forage of the two ranges considered (the LaSal and Henry mountains) is less likely to affect reproductive rates than is the …

Ecological And Community Relationships Of Eriogonum Corymbosum (Polygonaceae) In The Uinta Basin, Utah, Jack D. Brotherson, Karen J. Brotherson

Great Basin Naturalist

Ecological and community relationships of 10 different plant communities in the Uinta Basin, Utah, where Eriogonum corymbosum was found to grow were studied and described. Each community was sampled to determine the amount of ground cover, percent composition, frequency, and density of participating species. Physical site factors, viz., soil texture, total soluble salts, pH, cation exchange capacity, and amounts of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium were determined. The 10 communities were compared to determine the degree of similarity between them. Correlations between individual plant species and measurable characteristics of the community were attempted. Evidence is presented that the distributional patterns …

Emergence Data And Artificial Rearing Media For An Aspen Bark Beetle, Trypophloeus Populi (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), David A. Stewart, Gary M. Booth, Jerold L. Petty

Great Basin Naturalist

The aspen bark beetle, Trypophloeus populi Hopkins, was studied in nature to determine the number of larvae emerging from galleries. Fifty-five percent of the larvae in aspen galleries in the field developed into adults. An artificial rearing medium for third instar larvae of the beetles was also developed from aspen bark sawdust and nutrient agar. The optimum medium contained a ratio of 1:2 parts of agar to sawdust which gave 70 percent emergence of the beetles and less than 10 percent of adult mortality over the 36 days following emergence.

Review Of Tularemia In Utah And The Great Basin, Harold E. Stark

Great Basin Naturalist

This is a compilation of tularemia research conducted in Utah, particularly at U.S. Army Dugway Proving Ground (DPG), Utah, and an evaluation of this information in relation to the current status of tularemia studies. A brief history of tularemia in Utah and a review of field and laboratory studies are included.

Human cases of tularemia occur throughout Utah during all seasons of the year. An analysis of recent human disease reveals a concentration of cases in rural areas, with a greater seasonal occurrence in late summer and early fall.

Vegetation Response To A Moisture Gradient On An Ephemeral Stream In Central Arizona, Deborah Ann Bloss, Jack D. Brotherson

Great Basin Naturalist

Ecological aspects of desert vegetation in relation to a moisture gradient along an ephemeral stream in central Arizona were investigated. The stream channel, flood plain, and north-, west-, south-, east-facing slopes represent a moisture gradient going from mesic to xeric conditions. Vegetation in some areas of the stream channel intergraded into flood plain vegetation, which in turn intergraded into slope vegetation types. In other areas there were sharp delineations between stream channel and flood plain and between flood plain and slope. Trees and legume species preferred midmoisture habitats, but forbs, shrubs, and succulents preferred dryer areas. Family groups like the …

Annual Energy Budgets For Three Common Rodent Species In The Northern Great Basin, R. Kent Schreiber

Great Basin Naturalist

Annual energy budgets were calculated for three species of small mammals (Peromyscus maniculatus, Onychomys leucogaster, Reithrodontomys megalotis) from the northern Great Basin, Benton County, Washington. Individual ingestion rates were based on species activity, microclimate regime, coefficient of digestibility, caloric diet, and the cost for reproduction. For males and females, the estimated energy expenditures were: P. maniculatus, 6080, 5891; O. leucogaster, 5714, 6587; and R. megalotis, 4057, 3791 kcal/yr. By comparison, each species on an individual basis processes more energy annually than the more abundant species in the community, Perognathus parvus, but their total contribution to community energy flow …

Ecological Distribution Of Rodents In Canyonlands National Park, Utah, David M. Armstrong

Great Basin Naturalist

Studies of microhabitat of 14 species of rodents by cluster analysis suggested that the diverse landscapes of Canyonlands National Park, Utah, include six broad "habitat-types": (1) rimrock; (2) desert shrublands; (3) saxicoline woodland and sagebrush; (4) oakbrush; (5) riparian deciduous woodland; and (6) grasslands. Perognathus parvus and Neotoma cinerea were the species most strongly associated with single "habitat-types," desert shrub and saxicoline woodland, respectively. Peromyscus maniculatus and P. truei were the species associated with the broadest ranges of habitats. The rodents with the most similar habitats were Neotoma mexicana and Peromyscus boylii; Eutamias quadrivittatus, P. truei, and P. crinitus; Ammospermophilus …

Variation In Hemoglobin Types In The Deer Mouse (Peromyscus Maniculatus) Along An Altitudinal Gradient, David Wasserman, Donald J. Nash

Great Basin Naturalist

Deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) were captured along an altitudinal gradient that extended from 5,000 feet (1524 m) up to 11,000 feet (3353 m) in central Colorado during August and early September, 1976. Starch gel electrophoresis of deer mouse hemoglobin followed no clear trend that would indicate that slight biochemical differences in the molecule help facilitate adaptation to the decreased pO₂ that exists at that altitude.
