An Ecological History Of Tintic Valley, Juab County, Utah, Jeffrey A. Creque
An Ecological History Of Tintic Valley, Juab County, Utah, Jeffrey A. Creque
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
This work was a case study of historical ecological change in Tintic Valley, Juab County, Utah, an area historically impacted by mining and ranching activities common to much of the American West. The temporal framework for the study was approximately 120 years, the period of direct Euroamerican influence. In recognition of the ecological implications of cultural change, however, the impacts of prehistoric and protohistoric human activity on study area landscape patterns and processes were also explicitly addressed.
The study included a narrative description of historic land uses and ecological change in Tintic Valley, and examined the changes in landscape patterns …

Assessment Of Kokanee Salmon, Oncorhynchus Nerka, Genetic Stocks In Flaming Gorge Reservoir, Utah-Wyoming, Michael F. Canning
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
I investigated the relative abundance, spatial distributions, return to the creel, and growth rates of two genetic stocks of kokanee salmon, Oncorhynchus nerka, in Flaming Gorge Reservoir, Utah-Wyoming. The two genetic stocks consist of fish from the two major spawning populations of kokanee in the reservoir. One population, Shore Spawners, spawns along the eastern shoreline of the Open Hills area of the reservoir. The other population, Sheep Creek, spawns in Sheep Creek, a tributary located in the Canyon area of the reservoir.
Mitochondrial DNA of kokanee from each population was analyzed to determine haplotype differences between stocks. These haplotype …
