Stable Hydrogen Isotopic Composition Of Fishes Reflects That Of Their Environment, Gregory Whitledge, Brett Johnson, Patrick Martinez
Stable Hydrogen Isotopic Composition Of Fishes Reflects That Of Their Environment, Gregory Whitledge, Brett Johnson, Patrick Martinez
Publications
Otolith microchemistry and isotopic analyses have emerged as effective techniques for providing insights into fish environmental history that are difficult to obtain by other means. Stable hydrogen isotope ratio (2H/1H or D/H, expressed as δD) is a possible environmental marker that has not been employed in fish provenance research, although it has been applied as a natural tracer of terrestrial organism migrations. We illustrate the potential of δD to serve as a new natural marker of fish environmental history by demonstrating that significant linear relationships (r2 >= 0.97) exist between fish otolith and muscle δD and δD of waters that …

The Impacts Of Land Use Change On Water Resources And Traditional Acequia Culture In Northern New Mexico, Marquita Ortiz Et Al.
2006
Rural areas throughout the western United States are undergoing rapid and far-reaching land use changes that impact water management, riparian ecosystems, and traditional cultures. Impacts to water resource use and management include: potential risks of groundwater contamination due to increased numbers of single household septic systems, potential overdraft of groundwater resources, surface water quality impacts, and changes in the distribution of water supplies from agricultural to municipal/industrial uses. In northern New Mexico, the acequia water use regime and attendant acequia-related cultural values are at particular risk due to increasing urbanization pressures and the potential impacts on actual water use, water …
Water Reduction Using Ww-B. Dahl Pastures To Produce Beef: Potential To Reduce Aquifer Irrigation And Sustain More Intensive Agriculture For Diverse Western Rangeland Conditions, Carlos Ortega-Ochoa
Water Reduction Using Ww-B. Dahl Pastures To Produce Beef: Potential To Reduce Aquifer Irrigation And Sustain More Intensive Agriculture For Diverse Western Rangeland Conditions, Carlos Ortega-Ochoa
2006
High rates of water withdrawal from the Ogallala aquifer threatens sustainability of various agricultural uses. Since rainfall patterns differ across many Western regions where beef grazing and combined beef and crop rotation practices prevail, locating grasses that meet high nutrition standards for beef while dramatically reducing water requirements (from irrigation of rainfall) under normal and drought conditions rises in importance. We present results of a two year study on 54 hectares using WW-B.Dahl [Bothriochloa bladhii (Retz) S.T. Blake] pasture. For two consecutive summers, we evaluated forage standing crops and the quality of WW-B.Dahl grass under summer grazing conditions subject to …

Cost Comparisons Of Water Treatment Systems To Improve Water Quality For Municipal Use, Lal K. Almas
2006
Drinking water quality is the key factor for sustainability of life and well being of the human population. The quality of water in Texas High Plains generally is suitable for irrigation but doesn’t meet the drinking water standards with respect to certain dissolved constituents (dissolved solids/salinity, fluorides, chlorides and sulfate). Water treatment systems are costly and local communities have financial limitation to afford the required technology. Affordable water treatment facilities with low operating costs are needed to be introduced with an aim to implement cost effective solutions to water management problems. This study focuses on comparing operating costs and cost …

We stocked phase-III sunshine bass (white bass Morone chrysops ♀ × striped bass M. saxatilis ♂) at a rate of 6,188 fingerlings/ha into twelve 0.04-ha earthen ponds supplied with continuous aeration. Three dietary treatments were randomly assigned to quadruplicate ponds. Sunshine bass were fed to apparent satiation once daily after average initial weight (mean ± SE = 214 ± 5 g) and total length (245 ± 1.6 mm) were determined. Diets were formulated to conserve the estimated digestible energy:crude protein (CP) ratio (9.3 kcal/g protein) and represented the following CP and energy values fed to fish: 32% CP (3,000 kcal/kg), …
Simple Sequence Repeats As Advantageous Mutators In Evolution, Yechezkel Kashi, David G. King
Simple Sequence Repeats As Advantageous Mutators In Evolution, Yechezkel Kashi, David G. King
Publications
Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) often serve to modify genes with which they are associated. The influence of SSRs on gene regulation, transcription and protein function typically depends on the number of repeats, while mutations that add or subtract repeat units are both frequent and reversible. SSRs thus provide a prolific source of quantitative and qualitative variation. Over the past decade, researchers have found that this spontaneous variation has been tapped by natural and artificial selection to adjust almost every aspect of gene function. These studies support the hypothesis that SSRs, by virtue of their special mutational and functional qualities, have …
