Temperature Responses And Habitat Sharing In Two Sympatric Species Of Okanagana (Homoptera: Cicadoidea), Allen F. Sanborn, Jessica H. Breitbarth, James E. Heath, Maxine S. Heath Oct 2002

Temperature Responses And Habitat Sharing In Two Sympatric Species Of Okanagana (Homoptera: Cicadoidea), Allen F. Sanborn, Jessica H. Breitbarth, James E. Heath, Maxine S. Heath

Western North American Naturalist

Okanagana striatipes and O. utahensis are species synchronous in location of activity and utilization of host plants. They possess similar acoustic behavior. Analysis of calling songs shows that calls overlap in frequency but differ in temporal pattern. Based on characteristics of the cicada auditory system and the species recognition mechanism, the potential for acoustic interference exists. Both species are ectothermic behavioral thermoregulators. Measurements of thermal preference and body temperature during singing show that although thermal preferences are similar, O. utahensis sings at a significantly higher body temperature. Differences in body temperature required to coordinate singing in the 2 species provide …

Oreohelices Of Utah, Ii. Extant Status Of The Brian Head Mountainsnail, Oreohelix Parawanensis Gregg, 1941 (Stylommatophora: Oreohelicidae), George V. Oliver, William R. Bosworth Iii Oct 2002

Oreohelices Of Utah, Ii. Extant Status Of The Brian Head Mountainsnail, Oreohelix Parawanensis Gregg, 1941 (Stylommatophora: Oreohelicidae), George V. Oliver, William R. Bosworth Iii

Western North American Naturalist

The Brian Head mountainsnail, Oreohelix parawanensis, is reported for the 1st time as a living species, and for the 1st time its habitat is described. Preliminary determination of the very limited distribution of this species (≤2.3 ha inhabited in ~11 ha overall area) is presented. Morphometric data previously had been reported only for the holotype and for 1 topotype; measurements from 37 new specimens as well as 20 paratypes are provided here, and these data show that the lost holotype was not typical of the species. Sizes of reproductive snails and of embryos are also reported.

Geographic Variation In Pelage Color Of Piñon Mice (Peromyscus Truei) In The Northern Great Basin And Environs, Leslie N. Carraway, B. J. Verts Oct 2002

Geographic Variation In Pelage Color Of Piñon Mice (Peromyscus Truei) In The Northern Great Basin And Environs, Leslie N. Carraway, B. J. Verts

Western North American Naturalist

Cluster analyses of values for hue, value, and chroma (based on Munsell soil-color charts) obtained at 6 points on pelages of 202 adult piñon mice (Peromyscus truei) from the northern Great Basin and environs produced dendrograms with specimens grouped into 5 clusters. In most instances distribution of specimens forming clusters reflected those published for nominal races. In instances in which previous distributions of nominal races were not supported and for specimens previously unclassified, geographic distribution of groups of color morphs was logical and suggested avenues for additional research on geographic variation in the species.

A Heterotrophic Desert Stream? The Role Of Sediment Stability, Urs Uehlinger, Markus Naegeli, Stuart G. Fisher Oct 2002

A Heterotrophic Desert Stream? The Role Of Sediment Stability, Urs Uehlinger, Markus Naegeli, Stuart G. Fisher

Western North American Naturalist

In autumn 1998 stream metabolism was measured in the Hassayampa River, Arizona, a Sonoran Desert stream, using single-station diel oxygen curves and an oxygen mass balance model. Oxygen consumption rates of parafluvial and channel sediments were determined with respiration chambers. Bedload of channel sediments (sand) prevented significant primary production by benthic autotrophs, despite favorable nutrient, light, and temperature conditions. Ecosystem respiration was relatively low (1.50 g O2 m−2d−1) and presumably fueled by production in the riparian zone and riverine marshes. Respiration rates in the parafluvial zone and in channel sediments ranged from 0.6 to 1.4 …

A Seed Chalcid (Eurytoma Squamosa Bugbee) Parasitizes Buckbrush (Ceanothus Fendleri Gray) Seeds In A Ponderosa Pine Forest Of Arizona, David W. Huffman Oct 2002

A Seed Chalcid (Eurytoma Squamosa Bugbee) Parasitizes Buckbrush (Ceanothus Fendleri Gray) Seeds In A Ponderosa Pine Forest Of Arizona, David W. Huffman

Western North American Naturalist

Predispersal seed parasitism rates were quantified for buckbrush (Ceanothus fendleri Gray) in 3 Arizona ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.) forest units that had been thinned for ecological restoration objectives. The chalcidoid wasp Eurytoma squamosa Bugbee (Eurytomidae) was responsible for 35% of total seed loss in a single year. These findings represent an expansion of the known range and host list for E. squamosa and increase our understanding of factors that may constrain regeneration of C. fendleri in Southwest ponderosa pine forests.

A 4000-Year Record Of Woodland Vegetation From Wind River Canyon, Central Wyoming, Stephen T. Jackson, Mark E. Lyford, Julio L. Betancourt Oct 2002

A 4000-Year Record Of Woodland Vegetation From Wind River Canyon, Central Wyoming, Stephen T. Jackson, Mark E. Lyford, Julio L. Betancourt

Western North American Naturalist

Plant macrofossil analyses of 16 radiocarbon-dated woodrat middens spanning the past 4000 years from the Wind River Canyon region in central Wyoming provide information concerning late Holocene development of juniper woodlands. The study sites are currently dominated by Juniperus osteosperma, with J. scopulorum present locally. Woodlands in the region were dominated by J. scopulorum from ca 4000 yr BP until at least 2800 yr BP. Juniperus osteosperma invaded and expanded before 2000 yr BP. This expansion fits a regional pattern of J. osteosperma colonization and expansion in north central Wyoming during a relatively dry period between 2800 and 1000 …

Nest Site Characteristics And Reproductive Success Of The Western Tanager (Piranga Ludoviciana) On The Colorado Front Range, Karen N. Fischer, John W. Prather, Alexander Cruz Oct 2002

Nest Site Characteristics And Reproductive Success Of The Western Tanager (Piranga Ludoviciana) On The Colorado Front Range, Karen N. Fischer, John W. Prather, Alexander Cruz

Western North American Naturalist

From 1999 through 2001 we located and monitored Western Tanager (Piranga ludoviciana) nests in public open-space properties in Boulder County, Colorado. Fifty-four of 58 nests were located in ponderosa pine and the remainder in Douglas-fir. Nests were generally placed near the midpoint of branches in areas of high canopy cover (>50%) in the middle section of nest trees. Nest height varied as a function of nest tree height, and nests were oriented randomly in relation to trunks of nest trees. Tanager nesting success varied annually, with estimates using the Mayfield method ranging from 11.3% in 2000 to …

Capnia Caryi, An Interesting New Species Of Winter Stonefly From The American Southwest (Plecoptera: Capniidae), R. W. Baumann, G. Z. Jacobi Oct 2002

Capnia Caryi, An Interesting New Species Of Winter Stonefly From The American Southwest (Plecoptera: Capniidae), R. W. Baumann, G. Z. Jacobi

Western North American Naturalist

Capnia caryi, a new species of Nearctic Capniidae, is described from adults collected from high-elevation locations in the Southern Rocky Mountains of southern New Mexico and Arizona. Males are distinguished by their rounded club-shaped epiproct and sclerotized knobs on abdominal terga 8 and 9. Females possess a darkly sclerotized subgenital plate that covers most of tergum 8 and is produced posteriorly as a pair of broadly rounded lobes.

The Future Of Wireless Spam, Evan Cramer Oct 2002

The Future Of Wireless Spam, Evan Cramer

Duke Law & Technology Review

Though US cellular networks currently lack the capacity for widespread distribution of unsolicited wireless advertising (wireless spam), these advertisements are already well known in Japan and Europe, where they have proven to be a significant burden on cellular users. This iBrief examines the recently ratified legislation in Japan and Asia that have attempted to stop the glut of wireless advertisements, as a foreshadowing of the problems and questions that will soon have to be addressed in the United States.
