Current Status Of Cutthroat Trout Subspecies In The Western Bonneville Basin, Terry J. Hickman, Donald A. Duff

Great Basin Naturalist

Recent discoveries of native cutthroat trout populations in desert mountain ranges on the western fringe of the Bonneville Basin have prompted intensified management efforts by state and federal agencies. Analysis of Snake Valley cutthroat specimens in Trout Creek, Deep Creek Mountain Range, Utah, indicate this is a pure strain of the trout which once inhabited Pleistocene Lake Bonneville and which was thought to be extinct in Utah. The Snake Valley cutthroat is similar to Salmo clarki utah of the eastern Bonneville Basin; however, electrophoretic and morphomeristic analysis show unique genetic differences brought about by long-term isolation (8,000 years) from the …

Similarity Between Pronghorn And Mule Deer Fecal Pellets, Mark K. Johnson, James G. Maccracken

Great Basin Naturalist

Botanical compositions and pH values for pronghorn (Antelocapra americana) and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) fecal pellets from the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory Site were different. As there was no overlap between ranges of the herbivores fecal pH values, the fecal pH technique is a valuable tool for distinguishing between fecal pellets of pronghorn and mule deer on the study area.

Distributional Records For The Colorado Flora, D. Wilken, W. Harmon, C. Feddema, H. Harrington

Great Basin Naturalist

Nine new records of vascular plants indigenous to western North America, six new records of adventive taxa, and six significant range extensions are reported for the flora of Colorado.

Growth Of Dipodomys Ordii (Rodentia: Heteromyidae), H. Duane Smith, Gary H. Richins, Clive D. Jorgensen

Great Basin Naturalist

Growth rates were determined for laboratory-reared Dipodomys ordii pallidus Durrant & Setzer. Instantaneous growth rates were used to express increase of body weight, total length, tail length, ear length and hind foot length as rates between times of measurements and the instantaneous percentage of maximum size. Data were analyzed for growth periods of 1–3, 4–15, 16–29 and 30–70 days. All five parameters provided significant correlations of growth with age during all growth periods. Even though all of the growth parameters correlate with age, these parameters cannot be reliably used to predict age.

Range Extension Of Onychomys Torridus Longicaudus (Rodentia: Cricetidae) In Northwestern Nevada, Mark D. Engstrom, Eugene D. Fleharty

Great Basin Naturalist

Two Onychomys torridus longicaudus Merriam were captured at a site 22 miles W Winnemucca, Humbolt Co., Nevada. This record extends the known range of O. torridus 165 km to the northeast.

The Reproductive Ecology Of The Tahoe Sucker, Catostomus Tahoensis, In Pyramid Lake, Nevada, Joseph L. Kennedy, Paul A. Kucera

Great Basin Naturalist

The Tahoe sucker spawns in Pyramid Lake from April to August at lake temperatures of 11.7 to 22.7 C. The spawning population is comprised of a large lake spawning group and a numerically smaller river running group. The river running group is smaller in length and was not considered during this study.

The sex ratio of sampled suckers significantly favored the females. This is the result of the longer life of females and greater mortality of males during spawning.

Pyramid Lake Tahoe suckers reach sexual maturity at two to three years of age; however, those in Lake Tahoe do not …

Primary Productivity In Meromictic Big Soda Lake, Nevada, R. P. Axler, R. M. Gersberg, L. J. Paulson

Great Basin Naturalist

In situ radiocarbon uptake measurements conducted at Big Soda Lake, Nevada, indicate that (i) bacterial photosynthesis comprises an important fraction (30 percent) of the lake's total primary production and (ii) bacterial chemosynthesis contributes significantly to organic particle production. The results of nutrient enrichment bioassay experiments support Hutchinson's prediction that availability of inorganic nitrogen, rather than phosphorus, limits primary production in the mixolimnion. Nutrient additions of NO₃–N with Fe⁺³ most stimulated ¹⁴C uptake.

A Comparative Analysis Of The Diatom Flora On The Snail Ampullaria Cuprina From The Goshen Ponds, Utah, Larry L. St.Clair, Lorin E. Squires, Samuel R. Rushforth

Great Basin Naturalist

Seventeen genera and 60 species of diatoms were identified from four different substrates in a warm spring-fed pond near Goshen, Utah. The diatom forms sampled included both plankton and periphyton. A minimum of 400 individuals were counted from each sample. Diversity and similarity indices were calculated, and substrate relationships were identified on their basis.

Reproductive Biology Of The Tui Chub, Gila Bicolor, In Pyramid Lake, Nevada, Paul A. Kucera

Great Basin Naturalist

Sex ratios for tui chubs (Gila bicolor), obtained from a sample of 3,384 fish, deviated significantly from the expected 1:1 ratio (chi-square, P < 0.05). Spawning occurred from June to August, with estimated fecundities ranging from 6,110 to 68,933 ova. Females spawned after attaining a maximum (average) gonadal somatic index (GSI–percent gonad weight/total body weight) of 9.1 percent and between surface water temperatures of 15.5 to 22.2 C. Males reached sexual maturity at age two, with most females maturing at age three. Consistent increases in fecundity were apparent with increasing length, weight, and age. Linear regressions between fork length and fecundity and weight and fecundity were highly significant (P < 0.05).

To emigrate to the United States today does not seem to be the great adventure anymore that it once was. The material inconveniences of the move are negligible, the problems of psychological adjustment trivial compared to the physical hardships and culture shocks endured by the immigrants in the eighteenth and nineteenth century.

Peter Mansbendel was born in Basel in 1883 and came to the United States in his early twenties. In New York he met a well-to-do Texan beauty. They married and eventually settled in Austin, Texas. From 1915 to his death, in 1940, Mansbendel pursued his calling of woodcarver by doing pieces of furniture, fireplace mantels, portrait plaques and busts and other kinds of decorative works for individual patrons and institutions such as the University of Texas.
