Reports
Sagebrush steppe ecosystems in the United States currently occur on only about one-half of their historical land area because of changes in land use, urban growth, and degradation of land, including invasions of non-native plants. The existence of many animal species depends on the existence of sagebrush steppe habitat. The greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) is a landscape-dependent bird that requires intact habitat and combinations of sagebrush and perennial grasses to exist. In addition, other sagebrush-obligate animals also have similar requirements and restoration of landscapes for greater sage-grouse also will benefit these animals. Once sagebrush lands are degraded, they may require …

Use Of External Characteristics For Rapid Identification Of Gender Of Pocket Gophers, Roger A. Baldwin, Ryan Meinerz
Use Of External Characteristics For Rapid Identification Of Gender Of Pocket Gophers, Roger A. Baldwin, Ryan Meinerz
Western North American Naturalist
Pocket gophers are of great importance both for their function in ecological systems and for their impact on anthropogenic environments. Managing pocket gopher populations requires a fundamental understanding of population demographics, specifically sex ratios; yet quick and reliable techniques for visually identifying gender of pocket gophers are lacking. We developed a visual identification method based on external characteristics of genitalia and mammae that allows for rapid, yet correct assessment of gender in pocket gophers. This approach was particularly accurate (>99%) for visual identifications in the field. Our approach was also accurate (>98%) for frozen specimens, although care must …
An Irrigation Canal As A Lotic Mesocosm: Examining The Relationship Between Macroinvertebrate Benthos And Drift, Peter Koetsier, Luana M. M. Mccauley
An Irrigation Canal As A Lotic Mesocosm: Examining The Relationship Between Macroinvertebrate Benthos And Drift, Peter Koetsier, Luana M. M. Mccauley
Western North American Naturalist
We explored the notion that small canals could be good experimental proxies of streams by documenting physiochemical parameters and macroinvertebrate community development in an aridland irrigation canal. Further, we tested the production-compensation hypothesis between benthic invertebrates and invertebrates in the water column (drift). If the hypothesis held, invertebrates in the drift would be low until the benthic carrying capacity was reached; then organisms in the drift would increase as individuals avoided overcrowded conditions in the substrate. In a small, naturalized freshwater canal, we sampled macroinvertebrates in the substrate and those in the drift once every 2 weeks over 170 days …

Ectopic calcification is associated with various human diseases, including atherosclerosis, cancer, chronic kidney disease, and diabetes mellitus. Although mineral nanoparticles have been detected in calcified blood vessels, the nature and role of these particles in the human body remain unclear. Here we show for the first time that human kidney tissues obtained from end-stage chronic kidney disease or renal cancer patients contain round, multilamellar mineral particles of 50 to 1,500 nm, whereas no particles are observed in healthy controls. The mineral particles are found mainly in the extracellular matrix surrounding the convoluted tubules, collecting ducts and loops of Henle as …

All Dugoni School of Dentistry Faculty Articles
Hirsutella sinensis mycelium (HSM), the anamorph of Cordyceps sinensis, is a traditional Chinese medicine that has been shown to possess various pharmacological properties. We previously reported that this fungus suppresses interleukin-1β and IL-18 secretion by inhibiting both canonical and non-canonical inflammasomes in human macrophages. However, whether HSM may be used to prevent lung fibrosis and the mechanism underlying this activity remain unclear. Our results show that pretreatment with HSM inhibits TGF-β1–induced expression of fibronectin and α-SMA in lung fibroblasts. HSM also restores superoxide dismutase expression in TGF-β1–treated lung fibroblasts and inhibits reactive oxygen species production in lung epithelial cells. Furthermore, …
Self-Reflexivity As An Ethical Instrument To Give Full Play To Our Explicit And Implicit Subjectivity As Qualitative Researchers, Lorena Cruz
The Qualitative Report
Being a qualitative researcher involves, mainly, assuming the subjective dimension of the research process. This article reflects the process through which I am going through as a junior qualitative researcher within the educative field. If we are immersed in social or humanistic knowledge construction as researchers, we are part of a complex process of relations, we influence and we are influenced, as well. It is an ethical assumption which implies taking responsibility. In this article, I try to reveal how I dealt with my explicit and implicit subjectivity, developing self-reflexivity strategies that allowed me to expand the understanding of the …

Microhabitat Selection Of Brood-Rearing Sites By Greater Sage-Grouse In Carbon County, Wyoming, Leslie A. Schreiber, Christopher P. Hansen, Mark A. Rumble, Joshua J. Millspaugh, R. Scott Gamo, Jon W. Kehmeier, Nate Wojcik
Western North American Naturalist
Declines in Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus, hereafter sage-grouse) populations could be attributed to low chick survival, which may be influenced by the availability of food and cover at sites used by females rearing broods. Habitat attributes important to broods may vary regionally; thus, it is necessary to understand factors affecting regional sage-grouse brood-rearing site selection, especially when estimating the impacts of development. We monitored brood-rearing female sage-grouse equipped with solar Argos Global Positioning System Platform Transmitter Terminals from 2011 to 2013 to assess microhabitat selection by broods in Carbon County, Wyoming. We measured vegetation and arthropod characteristics at diurnal …
A Note On The Observable Bark Coloration Of Quaking Aspen (Populus Tremuloides), Oren Rabinowitz, Erin A. Tripp
A Note On The Observable Bark Coloration Of Quaking Aspen (Populus Tremuloides), Oren Rabinowitz, Erin A. Tripp
Western North American Naturalist
The bark of quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides), a clonal hardwood that is dominant in many Rocky Mountain forests, varies from white to orange to green among both ramets and populations. The proximate causes of this color variation remain controversial. We collected 72 samples of aspen bark from 11 locations in Boulder County, Colorado, and used microscopy, dissection, and thin layer chromatography to assess the structural and biochemical basis for the color gradient. Our study shows that the cork cells closest to the cork cambium of the aspen were consistently orange and conglutinated. Outward from this layer, the cork …

Reproductive Notes On Shrews (Family Soricidae) In Louisiana, Leann Lucas, Justin D. Hoffman
Reproductive Notes On Shrews (Family Soricidae) In Louisiana, Leann Lucas, Justin D. Hoffman
Western North American Naturalist
Little information is known about reproduction in the 3 species of shrews in Louisiana. We examined reproductive notes from specimen records for the southern short-tailed shrew (Blarina carolinensis), least shrew (Cryptotis parva), and southeastern shrew (Sorex longirostris). Most breeding activity occurred from March to December for B. carolinensis and C. parva. Average number of embryos was 3.75 for B. carolinensis and 5.5 for C. parva. The average length of testes was 5.2 mm for B. carolinensis and 3.8 mm for C. parva. One male S. longirostris possessed a testis length of 3 …
Notes On The Ecology Of Reithrodontomys Microdon Based On New Records In The Eje Neovolcánico, México, Francisco X. González-Cózatl, Elizabeth Arellano
Notes On The Ecology Of Reithrodontomys Microdon Based On New Records In The Eje Neovolcánico, México, Francisco X. González-Cózatl, Elizabeth Arellano
Western North American Naturalist
Based on the first record in the state of Morelos and a new record for the Estado de México, we suggest that Reithrodontomys microdon preferentially uses an arboreal habitat. Specimens described here, for the most part (75%), were captured >4 m above ground on trees. Although historical records indicate that R. microdon is rare, our data may suggest otherwise. Assuming this species is preferably arboreal and that most inventories of rodents have focused on the ground, it is evident that, historically, this species has not been surveyed in its preferred habitat.

Microhabitat And House Use By Dusky-Footed Woodrats (Neotoma Fuscipes) In Northwestern California: Insight From Trapping Data, Ted J. Slowik
Microhabitat And House Use By Dusky-Footed Woodrats (Neotoma Fuscipes) In Northwestern California: Insight From Trapping Data, Ted J. Slowik
Western North American Naturalist
Capture data differed at woodrat houses associated with selected microhabitats in a chaparral-oak woodland site in the foothills of northwestern California. Mean trapping success was significantly higher at houses located under dense tree canopy (and in low scrub cover) compared with houses in high scrub cover (and under less tree canopy), as was trapping success at houses found in non-edge versus edge habitat. Woodrats trapped at houses under dense canopy also were significantly heavier than those captured in high scrub cover; however, mean body masses at edge- and non-edge houses were similar. Broadly, our results mirror existing research but indicate …
Stream Macroinvertebrates And Habitat Below And Above Two Wilderness Fords Used By Mules, Horses, And Hikers In Yosemite National Park, Jeffrey G. Holmquist, Jutta Schmidt-Gengenbach, James W. Roche
Stream Macroinvertebrates And Habitat Below And Above Two Wilderness Fords Used By Mules, Horses, And Hikers In Yosemite National Park, Jeffrey G. Holmquist, Jutta Schmidt-Gengenbach, James W. Roche
Western North American Naturalist
Wilderness stream crossings used by mules, horses, and hikers are localized disturbances that may affect habitat immediately downstream, but the potential influence of fords on streams has received little investigation, particularly in terms of possible effects on fauna. Our overall null hypothesis was absence of below-above differences for either benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages or habitat characteristics at such fords. We further sought to determine (1) whether any such differences were present prior to annual use, suggesting longer-term effects, and (2) whether differences were present in late season, after annual use. We examined macroinvertebrates and habitat immediately below and above 2 fords …

Food Habits Of Coyotes, Gray Foxes, And Bobcats In A Coastal Southern California Urban Landscape, Rachel N. Larson, Dana J. Morin, Izabela A. Wierzbowska, Kevin R. Crooks
Western North American Naturalist
Many carnivores are sensitive to habitat fragmentation, and the capacity to shift diets may improve their ability to persist in urban areas. We collected and identified contents of a total of 119 scats from coyotes (Canis latrans), 58 scats from gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus), and 31 scats from bobcats (Lynx rufus) within habitat fragments ofvarying size in the San Diego area in coastal southern California. Coyote diet was generalist, composed of mostly mammals but also anthropogenic items, fruit and seeds, birds, and invertebrates. Dietary breadth of coyotes was similar in small urban habitat fragments and …
