A Comparison Of Meteorologic Measurements From Irrigated And Non-Irrigated Plots, Provo, Ut, 1970–1972, Ferron L. Andersen, Phil D. Wright, J. Carl Fox Apr 1974

A Comparison Of Meteorologic Measurements From Irrigated And Non-Irrigated Plots, Provo, Ut, 1970–1972, Ferron L. Andersen, Phil D. Wright, J. Carl Fox

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

A comparative study of micrometeorologic conditions on irrigated and non-irrigated pasture plots was conducted at Provo, Utah, from 1970 to 1972. Daily measurements were taken of the following: precipitation cither as rain or snow, new snowfall and total snow depth during the winter; relative humidity in a standard weather shelter; number of hours at maximum relative humidity; cloud cover each morning; potential evaporation; total wind 1 m above ground level; temperature extremes in a standard weather shelter; and temperatures both on irrigated and non-irrigated plots with sensing devices located 5 cm beneath soil surface under grass cover, at soil surface …


A Taxonomic Study Of The Western Collared Lizards, Crotaphytus Collaris And Crotaphytus Insularis, Nathan M. Smith, Wilmer W. Tanner Apr 1974

A Taxonomic Study Of The Western Collared Lizards, Crotaphytus Collaris And Crotaphytus Insularis, Nathan M. Smith, Wilmer W. Tanner

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

The heterogeneous nature of the collared lizards west of the Colorado River prompted this study. Samples from known populations of C. c. auriceps, C. c. baileyi, and C. c. fruscus were used as a base for defining the western populations. External morphology and cranial morphology were compared by cluster, canonical, and discriminant analyses.

Results of these analyses show a western complex of four populations which are distinct from the three base populations of the collaris complex. Members within the western complex are distinguishable with at least 90 percent reliability by discriminant analysis. Because of intergradation patterns seen in western Sonora, …

This study is a worldwide taxonomic treatment utilizing endomorphic characters such as cytology, histology, and embryology, in addition to the traditional exomorphic features. New chromosome numbers and histological information are reported. Relationships between Chloris and other genera in the Chlorideae are discussed. A total of 56 species is recognized in the genus; each is described and illustrated. Complete synonymies are included as well as a list of unidentified or rejected names. Distributions and maps are given for each species, along with lists of specimens examined during studies at various herbaria. Reports of field studies involving introgression among certain species are …

Effects Of A Nuclear Detonation On Arthropods At The Nevada Test Site, Dorald M. Allred Jul 1973

Effects Of A Nuclear Detonation On Arthropods At The Nevada Test Site, Dorald M. Allred

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

Fifty-three arthropod species were studied in an area affected by an underground nuclear detonation. These were represented by 10 species of ants, 17 beetles, 5 orthopterans, 4 scorpions, 6 solpugids, and 11 spiders (Table 16). Relative populations were determined prior to the detonation and at three periods after the detonation–(1) one and two months after (August and September 1962), (2) 11 months after (June 1963), and (3) 13 months after (August 1963). One and two months after the detonation, the number of species was reduced from the expected by 48 percent, by 52 percent after 11 months, and by 66 …


An Ecological Survey Of The Algae Of Huntington Canyon, Utah, Lorin E. Squires, Samuel R. Rushforth, Carol J. Endsley Jun 1973

An Ecological Survey Of The Algae Of Huntington Canyon, Utah, Lorin E. Squires, Samuel R. Rushforth, Carol J. Endsley

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

A quantitative and ecological study of the algae of Huntington Canyon, Emery County, Utah, was conducted from March 1971 to April 1972. Net plankton, nannoplankton, periphyton, and visible attached algae were studied. Certain physical and chemical parameters in the waters of Huntington Creek and a small pond along its course were also measured.

Huntington Creek contains a wide diversity of genera and species of algae. Diatoms are the main constituent of the flora of this stream throughout the year. Hydrurus foetidus is prevalent in Huntington Creek from late winter to early summer, and filamentous blue green algae abound in the …

The Peregrine Falcon In Utah, Emphasizing Ecology And Competition With The Prairie Falcon, Richard D. Porter, Clayton M. White Jun 1973

The Peregrine Falcon In Utah, Emphasizing Ecology And Competition With The Prairie Falcon, Richard D. Porter, Clayton M. White

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

This study was undertaken to record the known history of the Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) in Utah as we have been able to construct it from both the literature and from our original research that extends over about a 30-year period in the state. The present total population of the peregrine in Utah is possibly only 10 percent of what it has been in historic times. In an effort to find explanations for the decline, we have explored hypotheses of climatic changes, impact of pesticides, disease, and human disturbances. We conclude that pesticide contamination and climatic changes may …

Breeding Ecology Of Raptors In The Eastern Great Basin Of Utah, Dwight G. Smith, Joseph R. Murphy Jun 1973

Breeding Ecology Of Raptors In The Eastern Great Basin Of Utah, Dwight G. Smith, Joseph R. Murphy

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

A comparative study of the breeding ecology of 12 raptor species was conducted in the eastern Great Basin from 1967-1970. The project was designed to determine the composition and densities, habitat selection, territoriality and predatory habits of raptorial birds in a semiarid environment. All topics were analyzed comparatively, relating the requirements and activities of the 12 raptor species.

Average yearly population densities of all species approximated 0.5 pairs per square mile, but much of the available habitat was not utilized. Predominant raptors were the Ferruginous Hawk and Great Horned Owl. Other important raptors included the Golden Eagle, Red-tailed Hawk and …

Fleas Of Venezuela, Vernon J. Tipton, Carlos E. Machado-Allison

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

Forty-three species of fleas were collected in Venezuela by personnel of the Smithsonian Venezuelan Project. Currently there are fifty-two species of fleas known from Venezuela. Four new taxa are described: Hormopsylla cryptica, Ctenidiosomus perplexus, Adoratopsylla antiquorum rara and Adoratopsylla antiquorum recta. The females of Adoratopsylla antiquorum discreta Jordan and Rothschildopsylla noctilionis (Costa Lima) are described. The families Stephanocircidae (Cleopsylla, Craneopsylla, Plocopsylla, Sphinctopsylla) and Pygiopsyllidae (Ctenidiosomus) are reported from Venezuela for the first time. Two male specimens of the genus Orchopeas constitute the first record of this genus in South America and records of species of the …
