Swiss Mennonite Family Names: An Annotated Checklist, Leo Schelbert, Sandra Luebking Jun 1978

Swiss Mennonite Family Names: An Annotated Checklist, Leo Schelbert, Sandra Luebking

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

In the decades after 1520 the people of Western Europe experienced a thorough religious transformation. Instead of one Western Christendom centered in Rome a variety of competing interpretations of true Christianity emerged that were able to translate their assumptions into viable and enduring institutions. Among the emerging persuasions one group was unique, however: its members, scornfully called "catabaptists" or " anabaptists" - re-baptizers - by their opponents, rejected the millennia-old idea of the corpus christianum which postulates the unity between the ecclesiastical and political domain. For the Brethren, as they called themselves, the secular world was not an aspect of …

Introductory Remarks, Heinz K. Meier Jun 1978

Introductory Remarks, Heinz K. Meier

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

This issue of the SAHS Newsletter is given almost entirely to a genealogical article by Leo Schelbert and Sandra Luebking that has previously been published in the Summer 1977 issue of Pennsylvania Folklife (Vol. XXVI, No. 5). We are grateful to Dr. Don Yoder, editor of Pennsylvania Folklife, for permission to copy the article in its entirety. Schelbert and S. Luebking, a teacher and genealogist in Chicago, have added an index of the names in all their spelling variations that should prove helpful to users of the annotated checklist.


The Institute Of Texan Cultures, The Swiss Texans1978, Heinz K. Meier Jun 1978

The Institute Of Texan Cultures, The Swiss Texans1978, Heinz K. Meier

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

This is an illustrated, indexed brochure, 26 double-columned pages in length. The Swiss are introduced as "The most cosmopolitan immigrants to come to Texas with the least reason for coming ... " This statement contains important clues about the nature of Swiss emigration and the difficulties of writing about it. Due to the absence of strong outside determining factors such as "ideological oppression, economic depressions and natural catastrophes," decisions to leave Switzerland were almost always individually colored. There were no more or less uniform mass emigrations and very few large-scale settlement enterprises. The phrase "most cosmopolitan" in the introductory quotation …

Endangered And Threatened Plants Of Utah: A Reevaluation, Stanley L. Welsh Mar 1978

Endangered And Threatened Plants Of Utah: A Reevaluation, Stanley L. Welsh

Great Basin Naturalist

Endangered and threatened plants of Utah are reevaluated. The lists are brought up to date, and species now known to be common are recommended to be removed from the proposed lists. Additional species are proposed to be added, including the new species, Astragalus montii Welsh.


Plants Of Navajo National Monument, J. D. Brotherson, G. Nebeker, M. Skougard, J. Fairchild Mar 1978

Plants Of Navajo National Monument, J. D. Brotherson, G. Nebeker, M. Skougard, J. Fairchild

Great Basin Naturalist

The floristic composition of Navajo National Monument is presented. The flora of the monument consists of 293 species of vascular plants, representing 177 genera and 66 families. The species are scattered throughout 12 plant communities found within the monument. The flora is dominated by forbs (60 percent), followed by shrubs (16 percent), grasses (12 percent) and trees (5 percent). Betatakin canyon exhibits the greatest floristic richness with 223 species being represented and 123 species found only in that area. This is due primarily to two factors: (1) the greater variety of habitats available in the area, and (2) the much …


Environmental Interaction In Summer Algal Communities Of Utah Lake, Mark C. Whiting, Jack D. Brotherson, Samuel R. Rushforth Mar 1978

Environmental Interaction In Summer Algal Communities Of Utah Lake, Mark C. Whiting, Jack D. Brotherson, Samuel R. Rushforth

Great Basin Naturalist

Utah Lake is a shallow eutrophic lake in central Utah. It is characterized by high nutrient and silt loads and by large algal blooms in late summer and early fall. Phytoplankton samples and environmental data were taken from June through August 1974. Phytoplankton species were identified and then quantified in a Palmer counting cell. Environmental continuum theory was employed to describe algal succession, and regression analysis was used to discover interactions between algal communities and the environment. Phytoplankton communities in June were characterized by high species diversity. As the lake environment became stressed in late summer due to higher turbidity, …


Observations On The Prey And Nests Of Seven Species Of Cerceris (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae), Howard E. Evans, William L. Rubink Mar 1978

Observations On The Prey And Nests Of Seven Species Of Cerceris (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae), Howard E. Evans, William L. Rubink

Great Basin Naturalist

Cerceris species are remarkably constant in their prey preferences. Records are presented from diverse localities that confirm prey constancy in five species. An apparent exception is noted in the case of C. crotonella Viereck & Cockerell. A mixed aggregation of C. fumipennis Say and C. californica Cresson is reported, both preying upon Buprestidae and using some of the same species. Nest and prey of C. conifrons Mickel are reported for the first time.


Vertebrate Fauna Of A Radioactive Leaching Pond Complex In Southeastem Idaho, Douglas K. Halford, Jere B. Millard Mar 1978

Vertebrate Fauna Of A Radioactive Leaching Pond Complex In Southeastem Idaho, Douglas K. Halford, Jere B. Millard

Great Basin Naturalist

An inventory of the terrestrial vertebrate fauna and the seasonal occurrence of each species was determined for a man-made radioactive leaching pond complex in southeastern Idaho. Three reptile, 11 mammal, and 94 bird species were identified from February 1974 through January 1978. Fewest species were observed during the winter and most during the summer. Eight bird species nested at the pond complex, while 19 species of birds were common or seasonally abundant. It appears that the Test Reactor Area radioactive leaching pond complex is an important water source and provides habitat for some species of wildlife.

An Annotated List Of The Aquatic Insects Of Southeastern Idaho, Part Iii. Ephemeroptera, Robert L. Newell, G. Wayne Minshall

Great Basin Naturalist

The study revealed representatives of 9 families, 22 genera, and 59 species occurring within the study area. No new species and no new state records were collected, but a number of new localities have been added.


Differential Parasitism Of Peromyscus Maniculatus And Peromyscus Truei By Cuterebra Larvae, Jeffrey B. Llewellyn Mar 1978

Differential Parasitism Of Peromyscus Maniculatus And Peromyscus Truei By Cuterebra Larvae, Jeffrey B. Llewellyn

Great Basin Naturalist

During a 2-month field study of sympatric Peromyscus maniculatus (Deer Mouse) and Peromyscus truei (pinyon mouse), 12/152 (7.9 percent) P. maniculatus and 1/45 (2.2 percent) P. truei were parasitized by Cuterebra larvae. Both parasitized P. maniculatus and P. truei and nonparasitized P. maniculatus selected different habitats in the community. Differential parasitism of P. maniculatus and P. truei was possibly caused by host specificity of Cuterebra, whereas differential parasitism of P. maniculatus may have been due to habitat selection.

Hosts Of Juniper Mistletoe At Walnut Canyon National Monument, Arizona, Frank G. Hawksworth, Robert L. Mathiasen Mar 1978

Hosts Of Juniper Mistletoe At Walnut Canyon National Monument, Arizona, Frank G. Hawksworth, Robert L. Mathiasen

Great Basin Naturalist

Four species of junipers, Juniperus osteosperma, J. scopulorum, J. monosperma, and J. deppeana, occur in mixed stands at Walnut Canyon National Monument, Arizona. All are parasitized by Phoradendron juniperinum, but the mistletoe was most common on J. osteosperma and least common on J. scopulorum. Fernbush (Chamaebatiaria millefolium, Rosaceae) was a very rare host.
