This study aimed to connect habitat and landscape scale variation, through
time and space, to wildlife population dynamics. I studied African buffalo (Syncerus
caffer) group size according to habitat structure, landscape heterogeneity, forage
quality, and water availability in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve, South Africa. I
used two approaches to study grouping...
The thesis area includes 54 square miles of the southeastern
Cuddy Mountains in west-central Idaho. The oldest rocks within the
area are plutonic phases of the Jurassic Cuddy Mountain complex.
These and Cretaceous (?) intrusive and associated (?) extrusive rocks
and nearby Triassic to Early Jurassic metasedimentary and metavolcanic
rocks...
Although terrestrial lichens and bryophytes are common in upland plant communities of the Blue
Mountains in northeast Oregon, research on cryptogam communities in this region is wanting. Studies have
shown that lichens and bryophytes can reduce soil erosion and increase soil fertility in other semiarid
habitats of North America. Understanding...
One of the crucial components of marine and coastal resource management is
using the best available data for decision-making. There are many facets however,
to what makes data available and useable. Even though data may exist for many
natural resource and marine resource issues, they don't always come in accessible...
Approximately 4,210 feet of Late Cretaceous and 1,440 feet of Tertiary sedimentary rocks are exposed in the Salt Wells Anticline area of southcentral Sweetwater County, Wyoming. Late Cretaceous units include the Blair, Rock Springs, Ericson, and Almond Formations of the Mesaverde Group and the Lewis Shale; Tertiary units include the...
The Bethlehem Copper Mine, a porphyry copper deposit, is
situated near the geographical center of the Guichon Creek batholith.
The Guichon Creek batholith is located on the east flank of the
Canadian Coast Range in south central British Columbia approximately
250 miles northeast of Vancouver, B. C. The batholith
trends...
The Coyote Hills are located about 46 kilometers north-northwest
of Lakeview, Oregon, within the Basin and Range physiographic province.
These hills represent a complex volcanic center of bimodal
calc-alkaline igneous activity.
The oldest rocks recorded in the Tertiary succession are horn-blende-
bearing andesite and aphanitic basalt flows, laharic breccias,
conglomerates,...
The purpose of this book is to
provide you with a bit more information about the organisms maintained at the ASLC so that you
may deepen your understanding and appreciation of them.
However, as a prelude to the more species-specific information contained in this document, there
are three short chapters...
