Population Structure And Paternity In An American Black Bear (Ursus Americanus) Population Using Microsatellite Dna, Elizabeth A. Sinclair, Hal L. Black, Keith A. Crandall Dec 2003

Population Structure And Paternity In An American Black Bear (Ursus Americanus) Population Using Microsatellite Dna, Elizabeth A. Sinclair, Hal L. Black, Keith A. Crandall

Western North American Naturalist

We report genetic microsatellite data from analysis of 71 American black bears (Ursus americanus) from the East Tavaputs Plateau in eastern Utah. Heterozygosity was 52.9%, which is lower than other mainland North American populations and possibly reflects low recruitment into the study area. We used a combination of known pedigrees (mother/cubs), relatedness estimates, and paternity estimation using CERVUS to infer single and possible multiple paternity within litters, breeding by pairs over consecutive years, and the possibility of a single male successfully breeding with multiple females in a single year. Estimates of inbreeding effective population size indicate the East …


Beaver Herbivory Of Willow Under Two Flow Regimes: A Comparative Study On The Green And Yampa Rivers, Stewart W. Breck, Kenneth R. Wilson, Douglas C. Andersen Dec 2003

Beaver Herbivory Of Willow Under Two Flow Regimes: A Comparative Study On The Green And Yampa Rivers, Stewart W. Breck, Kenneth R. Wilson, Douglas C. Andersen

Western North American Naturalist

The effect of flow regulation on plant-herbivore ecology has received very little attention, despite the fact that flow regulation can alter both plant and animal abundance and environmental factors that mediate interactions between them. To determine how regulated flows have impacted beaver (Castor Canadensis) and sandbar willow (Salix exigua) ecology, we first quantified the abundance and mapped the spatial distribution of sandbar willow on alluvial sections of the flow-regulated Green River and free-flowing Yampa River in northwestern Colorado. We then established 16 and 15 plots (1 m x 2.7 m) in patches of willow on the …

The Anchor, Volume 117.13: December 3, 2003, Hope College

The Anchor: 2003

The Anchor began in 1887 and was first issued weekly in 1914. Covering national and campus news alike, Hope College’s student-run newspaper has grown over the years to encompass over two-dozen editors, reporters, and staff. For much of The Anchor's history, the latest issue was distributed across campus each Wednesday throughout the academic school year (with few exceptions). In recent years The Anchor moved to monthly print issues and a more frequently updated website. The Anchor is now published in print twice per academic semester. Occasionally, the volume and/or issue numbering is irregular.

Nesting And Brood-Rearing Characteristics Of Chukars In West Central Idaho, Andrew J. Lindbloom, Kerry P. Reese, Peter Zager Dec 2003

Nesting And Brood-Rearing Characteristics Of Chukars In West Central Idaho, Andrew J. Lindbloom, Kerry P. Reese, Peter Zager

Western North American Naturalist

We analyzed attributes from 23 nests (10 renests) and 46 brood locations of radio-marked Chukars (Alectoris chukar) in the lower Salmon River canyon of west central Idaho in 1995 and 1996. Nesting effort was 100%, apparent nest success was 45%, and estimated time from destruction or abandonment of a nest to initiation of laying a subsequent nest averaged 13 ± 5 days sx. Average clutch size for 1st nests (14.5 ± 1.0) was greater (P = 0.017) than renests (10.4 ± 1.1). Cover types used by nesting Chukars included grass/forb (48% of nests), rock (43%), …


Attributes Associated With Probability Of Infestation By The Piñon Ips, Ips Confusus (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), In Piñon Pine, Pinus Edulis, José F. Negrón, Jill L. Wilson Dec 2003

Attributes Associated With Probability Of Infestation By The Piñon Ips, Ips Confusus (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), In Piñon Pine, Pinus Edulis, José F. Negrón, Jill L. Wilson

Western North American Naturalist

We examined attributes of piñon pine (Pinus edulis) associated with the probability of infestation by piñon ips (Ips confuses) in an outbreak in the Coconino National Forest, Arizona. We used data collected from 87 plots, 59 infested and 28 uninfested, and a logistic regression approach to estimate the probability of infestation based on plot and tree-level attributes. Piñon pine stand density index was a good predictor of the likelihood of infestation by piñon ips at the plot level, and a cross-validation analysis confirmed that the model correctly classified 82% of the cases. Diameter at root collar …


Soil Properties Associated With Vegetation Patches In A Pinus Ponderosa–Bunchgrass Mosaic, Becky K. Kerns, Margaret M. Moore, Michael E. Timpson, Stephen C. Hart Dec 2003

Soil Properties Associated With Vegetation Patches In A Pinus Ponderosa–Bunchgrass Mosaic, Becky K. Kerns, Margaret M. Moore, Michael E. Timpson, Stephen C. Hart

Western North American Naturalist

Since Euro-American settlement, fire exclusion and other factors have dramatically altered interior western coniferous forests. Once open and parklike, present-day structure in many southwestern Pinus ponderosa forests consists of dense stands of young, small-diameter trees, with small patches of larger, old trees, and relict open bunchgrass areas. Our objectives were to assess differences in soil properties associated with these different vegetation patches. We examined soil morphological characteristics, pH, organic C concentration, total N concentration, C:N ratio, and phytolith concentration from profiles within 6 transects (18 soil pedons) crossing patches of dense stands of small diameter trees, patches of old-growth trees, …


Habitat Features And Predictive Habitat Modeling For The Colorado Chipmunk In Southern New Mexico, Marina Rivieccio, Bruce C. Thompson, William R. Gould, Kenneth G. Boykin Dec 2003

Habitat Features And Predictive Habitat Modeling For The Colorado Chipmunk In Southern New Mexico, Marina Rivieccio, Bruce C. Thompson, William R. Gould, Kenneth G. Boykin

Western North American Naturalist

Two subspecies of Colorado chipmunk (state threatened and federal species of concern) occur in southern New MeXico: Tamias quadrivittatus australis in the Organ Mountains and T. q. oscuraensis in the Oscura Mountains. We developed a GIS model of potentially suitable habitat based on vegetation and elevation features, evaluated site classifications of the GIS model, and determined vegetation and terrain features associated with chipmunk occurrence. We compared GIS model classifications with actual vegetation and elevation features measured at 37 sites. At 60 sites we measured 18 habitat variables regarding slope, aspect, tree species, shrub species, and ground cover. We used logistic …

Analysis Of The Role Of The Active Site Residue Arg98 In The Flavoprotein Tryptophan 2-Monooxygenase, A Member Of The L-Amino Oxidase Family, Pablo Sobrado, Paul F. Fitzpatrick Dec 2003

Analysis Of The Role Of The Active Site Residue Arg98 In The Flavoprotein Tryptophan 2-Monooxygenase, A Member Of The L-Amino Oxidase Family, Pablo Sobrado, Paul F. Fitzpatrick

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

The flavoprotein tryptophan 2-monooxygenase catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of tryptophan to indole acetamide. We have previously identified tryptophan 2-monooxygenase as a homologue of L-amino acid oxidase [Sobrado, P., and Fitzpatrick, P. F. (2002) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 402, 24-30]. On the basis of the sequence comparisons of the different LAAO family members, Arg98 of tryptophan 2-monooxygenase can be identified as an active site residue which interacts with the carboxylate of the amino acid substrate. The catalytic properties of R98K and R98A tryptophan 2-monooxygenase have been characterized to evaluate the role of this residue. Mutation of Arg98 to lysine decreases the first-order …
