Suitability Of Shrub Establishment On Wyoming Mined Lands Reclaimed For Wildlife Habitat, Richard A. Olson, James K. Gores, D. Terrance Booth, Gerald E. Schuman Jan 2000

Suitability Of Shrub Establishment On Wyoming Mined Lands Reclaimed For Wildlife Habitat, Richard A. Olson, James K. Gores, D. Terrance Booth, Gerald E. Schuman

Western North American Naturalist

Restoring coal mined land to pre-mining shrub cover, density, height, community composition, and diversity to renew wildlife habitat quality is a priority for reclamation specialists. Long-term shrub reestablishment success on reclaimed mined land in Wyoming and suitability of these lands for wildlife habitat are unknown. Fourteen reclaimed study sites, 10 yr old or older, were selected on 8 mines in Wyoming to evaluate shrub reestablishment and wildlife habitat value for antelope (Antilocapra americana) and sage grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). Five sites were categorized as fourwing saltbush (Atriplex canescens) sites and 9 as fourwing saltbush/big sagebrush …

Wood And Understory Production Under A Range Of Ponderosa Pine Stocking Levels, Black Hills, South Dakota, Daniel W. Uresk, Carleton B. Edminster, Kieth E. Severson Jan 2000

Wood And Understory Production Under A Range Of Ponderosa Pine Stocking Levels, Black Hills, South Dakota, Daniel W. Uresk, Carleton B. Edminster, Kieth E. Severson

Western North American Naturalist

Stemwood and understory production (kg ha−1) were estimated during 3 nonconsecutive years on 5 growing stock levels of ponderosa pine including clearcuts and unthinned stands. Stemwood production was consistently greater at mid- and higher pine stocking levels, and understory production was greater in stands with less pine; however, there were no differences in total (stemwood + understory) production. Based on loss of productivity, there is no argument that small clearcuts and unthinned stands should not be included in site plans. They contribute significantly to community structure, particularly to plant and animal species richness.

The New Performer, Sheila A. Malone Jan 2000

The New Performer, Sheila A. Malone

SWITCH

This article presents a discussion of the broadening definitions of performer and performance and the ways in which technology contributes to that flexibility through this intermix of the real world and its interaction with virtual reality. The author then details how the nature of this relationship not only shifts the role of performer but redefines performance as both real and virtual. She argues how new media in the age of technology has opened the doors for its visual, aural and textual information to both mimic and record reality.

The Influence Of Body Weight And Marbling Epd On The Relationship Of Intramuscular Fat Content And The Value Of Lean Retail Product In Serially Slaughtered Angus Steers, K. W. Bruns, R. H. Pritchard, D. L. Boggs Jan 2000

The Influence Of Body Weight And Marbling Epd On The Relationship Of Intramuscular Fat Content And The Value Of Lean Retail Product In Serially Slaughtered Angus Steers, K. W. Bruns, R. H. Pritchard, D. L. Boggs

South Dakota Beef Report, 2000

It is unclear how age, physiological maturity, and genetics affect intramuscular fat (IM) desposition in cattle. The study used beef cattle of known age and parentage to study the development of primal cuts, total carcass fat and IM fat depots as part of the growth process. Selecting cattle for marbling with the use of paternal grandsire's EPD for marbling was not indicative of differences in the onset or the rate, of development of marbling. Greater differences in EPD for marbling may be needed to observe phenotypic differences. Harvest group affected the level and extent of marbling (P<.10), however there was no harvest group x marbling group interactions indicating no differences occurred in the pattern of marbling development due to marbling EPD. Carcasses expressed a Small degree of marbling between the hot carcass weights of 550 and 650 Ibs. and at a back fat depth of approximately .30 in. In this study utilizing non-implanted steers of the same breed, we found that as days on feed increased, hot carcass weights, back fat depth, and percent carcass fat increased along with marbling score as well as percent 12th rib lipid content. No differences were observed in the weight of the primal cuts when expressed as a percentage of the chilled carcass between marbling groups at each of the five end points. As HCW increased across harvest groups, primal weight increased without a change in the percentage of the carcass represented by the middle meats (sirloin, shortloin, rib).

Effects Of Breed-Type And Breeding System On Efficiency Of Weaned Calf Production, D. M. Marshall Jan 2000

Effects Of Breed-Type And Breeding System On Efficiency Of Weaned Calf Production, D. M. Marshall

South Dakota Beef Report, 2000

The objective of this study was to evaluate effects of cow breed-type (two-breed rotations of Simmental x Hereford, Angus x Hereford, and Tarentaise x Hereford) and breeding system (rotational vs terminal sires) on production efficiency to weaning. Cows were limit fed in drylot for one year to simulate weight change of range cows. Both cow breed-type and sire type significantly affected efficiency of weaned calf production (weaning weight divided by cow and calf creep feed ME intake). However, there was an interaction of cow breed-type with breeding system for efficiency of weaned calf production. In particular, Hereford-sired Simmental-Hereford cows had …

Integrated Management Tactics For Predicting And Alleviating Pocket Gopher (Thomomys Spp.) Damage To Conifer Reforestation Plantings, Richard M. Engeman, Gary W. Witmer Jan 2000

Integrated Management Tactics For Predicting And Alleviating Pocket Gopher (Thomomys Spp.) Damage To Conifer Reforestation Plantings, Richard M. Engeman, Gary W. Witmer

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

Pocket gophers cause extensive damage to reforestation plantings in the western United States, and pose acute and chronic problems for forest managers. We examine the components of an integrated pest management strategy for reducing pocket gopher damage to conifers: the predictive factors for assessing the risk for damage, techniques for monitoring gopher populations and assessing efficacy of control methods, and damage control strategies and methods. The information in each component is reviewed and presented so that an optimal damage reduction plan can be developed in a logical, cost-effective, environmentally responsible fashion.

Overview Of A Passive Tracking Index For Monitoring Wild Canids And Associated Species, Richard M. Engeman, Lee Allen Jan 2000

Overview Of A Passive Tracking Index For Monitoring Wild Canids And Associated Species, Richard M. Engeman, Lee Allen

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

Population density estimates for many animal species are often difficult or expensive to obtain, and they rely on assumptions that, if violated, result in unmeasurable estimation errors. Density estimates also may be unnecessary for research or management purposes, because an index that tracks changes in a population within appropriate time and geographic constraints could provide the information necessary to make management decisions or to evaluate the impact of a control program. We review research on a passive tracking index where observations are made on a series of tracking plots placed on lightly used dirt roads. The number of sets of …

Standardizing The Evaluation Of Brown Tree Snake Trap Designs, Richard M. Engeman, Daniel S. Vice Jan 2000

Standardizing The Evaluation Of Brown Tree Snake Trap Designs, Richard M. Engeman, Daniel S. Vice

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

The introduced brown tree snake has had devastating impacts on the native vertebrate fauna of Guam. Trapping is the primary means by which brown tree snakes are removed, either in support of reintroduction of endangered species or to deter their movement from Guam in cargo. Traps used to control brown tree snake populations have been continually evolving since the 1980s. Before general operational implementation of a new design, the efficacy of new trap developments must be demonstrated. In this paper we combine the current knowledge about brown tree snake control objectives and practicalities, the information gained from a variety of …

Associations Of Beef Production Traits With Polymorphisms In The Growth Hormone Gene And Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Gene, D. M. Marshall, J. Kim Jan 2000

Associations Of Beef Production Traits With Polymorphisms In The Growth Hormone Gene And Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Gene, D. M. Marshall, J. Kim

South Dakota Beef Report, 2000

The effects of cow and (or) calf genotype for two candidate gene markers [growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-1) genes] on production traits were evaluated in a beef cattle herd. The GH polymorphism is located in exon V of the GH gene and is associated with a leucine/valine amino acid substitution. The IGF-1 polymorphism is located in the 5' flanking region of the IGF-1 gene. Cow GH genotype was not significantly associated with cow production traits (milk yield, average weight, hip height, and condition score) or progeny weight at birth or weaning. The regression of weaning weight on …

Comparison Of Estradiol-Trenbolone Acetate Implant Programs For Yearling Steers Of Two Genotypes, Robbi H. Pritchard Jan 2000

Comparison Of Estradiol-Trenbolone Acetate Implant Programs For Yearling Steers Of Two Genotypes, Robbi H. Pritchard

South Dakota Beef Report, 2000

Yearling steers (n = 400) were used to evaluate relative payout periods for implants when feeding high grain content diets. Implant treatments included (1) control (nonimplanted), (2) Synovex Plus, (3) revalor-S, and (4) Ralgrorevalor-S. The Synovex Plus (2), revalor-S (3) and Ralgro (4) were administered on day 1. The reimplant with revalor-s (4) was administered after 56 d on feed. Steers were managed in two groups. Initial BW and days fed were 782 Ib, 131 d (Group I), and 661 Ib, 145 d (Group 11). Implants increased production rates and efficiencies, increased carcass size and reduced marbling when compared to …
