Between A Rock And A Hard Place: Opuntia Fragilis (Nutt.) Haw. (Cactaceae) In Stearns County, Minnesota, Eric Ribbens, Jeremy Myrom

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

We surveyed the distribution of Opuntia fragilis ( Nutt.) Haw. in Steam County, MN, where it is restricted to a few rock outcrops. To compare the populations within three sites, we mapped clusters of pads and measured each individual pad within each cluster. Pads tended to be located in a narrow band of shallow soil between the bare rock and the angiosperm-dominated plant communities growing on adjacent deeper soils. Significant differences existed between the three populations in pad widths, average pad cluster sizes, and pad appearances. Although several pads flowered, none of the flower set seed, indicating that persistence of …

McNair Scholars Journal

A subclinical dose of broad-spectrum antibiotics (Bactrim and Clavarnox) we re given to one-half of nestling Tree Swallow (Tacbycineta bicolor) brood s on nestling day (ND) 3 and 4 while the other half of the brood received a placebo.

Battle For The Ballot Essays On Woman Suffrage In Utah, 1870- 1896, Carol Cornwall Madsen

All USU Press Publications

Exercising a right that their peers throughout the United States were denied, Utah women voted in 1870 elections. At the time, the only other American women who could vote were in Wyoming territory, and they had not yet had the chance to go to the polls. The more numerous women of Utah would lose the vote as a result of subsequent conflicts between mormons and the federal government over polygamy. However, they regained woman suffrage in the 1896 Utah state constitution, after a hard fought struggle that involved national figures such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony and …

Environment And Sex Ratios Among Alaska Natives: An Historical Perspective, Lawrence C. Hamilton, Carole L. Seyfrit, Christina Bellinger

Sociology

Human-environment interactions can affect the sex ratios of resource-dependent societies in a variety of ways. Historical and contemporary data on Alaska Native populations illustrate such effects. Some eighteenth and early nineteenth century observers noted an excess of females, which they attributed to high mortality among hunters. Population counts in the later nineteenth century and well into the twentieth found instead an excess of men in many communities. Female infanticide was credited as the explanation: since family survival depended upon hunting success, males were more valued. Although infanticide explanations for the excess of males have been widely believed, available demographic data …
