Environmental Indicator Report: Species And Habitats, Phil Trowbridge Apr 2003

Environmental Indicator Report: Species And Habitats, Phil Trowbridge

PREP Reports & Publications

During the fall and winter of 2001-2002, the New Hampshire Estuaries Project’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) developed a suite of environmental indicators to track progress toward the NHEP’s management goals and objectives. These indicators were fully described in terms of their performance criteria, statistical methods, and measurable goals in the NHEP’s Monitoring Plan, which was most recently updated in March 2003 (NHEP, 2003). The next step is to use these indicators to produce an updated “State of the Estuaries” report by mid-2003. The TAC decided to break this task into three sections: shellfish indicators in the fall of 2002; water …


Changes In The Distribution And Status Of Sage-Grouse In Utah, Jeffrey L. Beck, Dean L. Mitchell, Brian D. Maxfield Apr 2003

Changes In The Distribution And Status Of Sage-Grouse In Utah, Jeffrey L. Beck, Dean L. Mitchell, Brian D. Maxfield

Western North American Naturalist

Sage-grouse (Centrocercus spp.) were abundant in all of Utah's 29 counties at the time of European settlement wherever sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) occurred. Greater Sage-Grouse (C. urophasianus) inhabited areas north and west of the Colorado River, and Gunnison Sage-Grouse (C. minimus) occupied suitable habitat south and east of the Colorado River. The largest Greater Sage-Grouse populations in Utah are currently restricted to suitable habitats in Box Elder, Garfield, Rich, Uintah, and Wayne Counties. A remnant breeding population of Gunnison Sage-Grouse occurs in eastern San Juan County. We stratified Greater Sage-Grouse populations (1971–2000) by counties where …

How Does Hiv-1 Infect A Susceptible Human Cell? : Current Thinking, Ali A. Al-Jabri Apr 2003

How Does Hiv-1 Infect A Susceptible Human Cell? : Current Thinking, Ali A. Al-Jabri

Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal

To insure its survival, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), utilises more than one gate to enter a target cell. This strategy makes it more difficult for the immune system to defeat the virus. This has also made it difficult for scientists working in the HIV research to understand how exactly HIV infects a susceptible human cell. Such understanding will no doubt open many gates for scientists to vanquish the virus by designing agents that can block HIV entry into target cells, thus rendering the virus vulnerable to immune destruction. This will also …

Distribution Of Arylamine N-Acetyltransferase 2 (Nat2) Genotypes Among Omanis, Musbah Om Tanira, Mehmet Simsek, Khalid Al Lawatia, Khulood, Hameedah Al Barawani, Riad A. Bayoumi

Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal

Objective: to determine the genotypes of arylamine N-acetyltransferase (NAT2) among 127 unrelated apparently healthy Omanis. Method: Identify the most common known polymorphisms of NAT*2 gene namely, G191A, C282T, C341T, C481T, G590A, A803G and G857A using PCR-RFLP analysis. Results: Eleven allele variants (3 alternative) and 30 different genotypes were determined. The commonest alleles were found to be NAT*5B, NAT2*6A and NAT*4 with corresponding frequencies of 0.362, 0.248 and 0.189 respectively. The overall frequency of rapid acetylator alleles was 0.25. Conclusion: A new allele variant containing G590A, C282T and T341C polymorphisms was found in one subject (was named NAT2*5J). The commonest genotypes …


Pinyon-Juniper Woodlands In Zion National Park, Utah, Kimball T. Harper, Stewart C. Sanderson, E. Durant Mcarthur Apr 2003

Pinyon-Juniper Woodlands In Zion National Park, Utah, Kimball T. Harper, Stewart C. Sanderson, E. Durant Mcarthur

Western North American Naturalist

Juniperus osteosperma–Pinus monophylla or P. edulis (P-J) woodlands are the most widespread plant community in Zion National Park (ZNP), southwestern Utah. These woodlands dominate nearly half of the park's land area. Our study of this vegetational complex is based on a sample consisting of 115 macroplots (each 0.01 ha in area) objectively distributed across the entire area of ZNP. We recognize 3 subtypes within the P-J complex: Juniperus osteosperma(Utah juniper) alone, juniper with P. monophylla (single-leaf pinyon), and juniper with P. edulis (two-leaf pinyon). The 2 pinyon pines rarely occur together, and thus the foregoing subtypes do not overlap …


Genetically Effective And Adult Population Sizes In The Apache Silverspot Butterfly, Speyeria Nokomis Apacheana (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae), Hugh B. Britten, Erica Fleishman, George T. Austin, Dennis D. Murphy Apr 2003

Genetically Effective And Adult Population Sizes In The Apache Silverspot Butterfly, Speyeria Nokomis Apacheana (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae), Hugh B. Britten, Erica Fleishman, George T. Austin, Dennis D. Murphy

Western North American Naturalist

Genetically effective and adult population sizes of the Apache silverspot butterfly (Speyeria nokomiis apacheana) from the Great Basin of North America were tracked from 1991 to 1997. Speyeria nokomis inhabits mesic habitats in the Great Basin, and its recent declines in abundance have raised concerns about its future persistence. Adult population size estimates determined from mark-recapture methods ranged from 100 to 1900 individuals from 1993 through 1997. Genetically effective population sizes based on temporal changes in allozyme frequencies ranged from less tha 1 individual to 20 individuals between 1991 and 1995. Despite these small annual estimates, it is …


Burrowing Owl Nest Success And Burrow Longevity In North Central Oregon, Aaron L. Holmes, Gregory A. Green, Russell L. Morgan, Kent B. Livezey Apr 2003

Burrowing Owl Nest Success And Burrow Longevity In North Central Oregon, Aaron L. Holmes, Gregory A. Green, Russell L. Morgan, Kent B. Livezey

Western North American Naturalist

We studied nest success, burrow longevity, and rates of burrow reuse for a migratory population of Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) in north central Oregon from 1995 to 1997. Nest success varied annually from 50% to 67%. Principal causes of nest failure were desertion (26%) and depredation by badgers (Taxidea taxus; 13%). Reuse of available nest and satellite burrows in subsequent years was 87% in 1996 and 57% in 1997. Reuse was highest at burrows in sandy soils, which may indicate that nest-site availability is a limiting factor in sandier soil types. Trampling by livestock resulted in …

A Simple Reason For A Big Difference: Wolves Do Not Look Back At Humans, But Dogs Do, Ádám Miklósi, Eniko Kubinyi, József Topál, Márta Gácsi, Zsófia Virányi, Vilmos Csányi

Communication Skills Collection

The present investigations were undertaken to compare interspecific communicative abilities of dogs and wolves, which were socialized to humans at comparable levels. The first study demonstrated that socialized wolves were able to locate the place of hidden food indicated by the touching and, to some extent, pointing cues provided by the familiar human experimenter, but their performance remained inferior to that of dogs. In the second study, we have found that, after undergoing training to solve a simple manipulation task, dogs that are faced with an insoluble version of the same problem look/gaze at the human, while socialized wolves do …

Quorum Sensing In Plant-Pathogenic Bacteria, Susanne B. Von Bodman, W. Dietz Bauer, David L. Coplin Apr 2003

Quorum Sensing In Plant-Pathogenic Bacteria, Susanne B. Von Bodman, W. Dietz Bauer, David L. Coplin

Plant Science Articles

Quorum sensing (QS) allows bacteria to assess their local population density and/or physical confinement via the secretion and detection of small, diffusible signal molecules. This review describes how phytopathogenic bacteria have incorporated QS mechanisms into complex regulatory cascades that control genes for pathogenicity and colonization of host surfaces. Traits regulated by QS include the production of extracellular polysaccharides, degradative enzymes, antibiotics, siderophores, and pigments, as well as Hrp protein secretion, Ti plasmid transfer, motility, biofilm formation, and epiphytic fitness. Since QS regulatory systems are often required for pathogenesis, interference with QS signaling may offer a means of controlling bacterial diseases …


Funding And Implementing A Sixth Grade Environmental Camping Trip, Stewart Potter Apr 2003

Funding And Implementing A Sixth Grade Environmental Camping Trip, Stewart Potter

Theses and Dissertations

The focus of this study was to research methods to fund a sixth grade camping trip to Mt. Misery in Browns Mills, New Jersey. The local school budget was defeated, so a group of parent volunteers formed a group called P.A.N.T.H.E.R. (Parents And Neighbors Together Helping with Educational Resources) and began to think of ways to raise $32,498.10 so their children would enjoy the same experience as those students before them. The parent committee created a distributed a survey to all of the upcoming sixth grade parents on June 10, 2002. A total of 59.3% of the surveys were returned. …

Evidence For Survival Of Pleistocene Climatic Changes In Northern Refugia By The Land Snail Trochoidea Geyeri, David Posada, Markus Pfenninger, Frederic Magnin Apr 2003

Evidence For Survival Of Pleistocene Climatic Changes In Northern Refugia By The Land Snail Trochoidea Geyeri, David Posada, Markus Pfenninger, Frederic Magnin

Faculty Publications

The study of organisms with restricted dispersal abilities and presence in the fossil record is particularly adequate to understand the impact of climate changes on the distribution and genetic structure of species. Trochoidea geyeri (Soos 1926) is a land snail restricted to a patchy, insular distribution in Germany and France. Fossil evidence suggests that current populations of T. geyeri are relicts of a much more widespread distribution during more favourable climatic periods in the Pleistocene. Results: Phylogeographic analysis of the mitochondrial 16S rDNA and nuclear ITS-1 sequence variation was used to infer the history of the remnant populations of T. …
