Systematic studies of the genus Siphateles (Ostariophysi: Cyprinidae) from western North America

Creator:: Harris, Phillip M.
Abstract:: The minnow genus Siphateles is distributed throughout the Great Basin and adjacent drainages of western North America. Three species are currently recognized in the genus: S. alvordensis, Alvord chub, S. boraxobius, Borax Lake chub, and S. bicolor, the tui chub. S. bicolor has long been recognized as a widespread species...

The relationship between individualism vs. collectivism and the culturally intelligent behavior of counselor trainees

Creator:: James, Gene M.
Abstract:: Multicultural competency has been established as important component of communicating within a cross-cultural ecology. Yet, there is evidence that many counselors struggle to communicate and interact outside of their own cultural communication norms. Until this study, no one has attempted to integrate culture and intelligence as a unitary counseling construct....

A framework for the determination of the suitability of undeveloped land in the intermountain west for use as cropland

Creator:: Rathburn, Arthur Cristen
Abstract:: The "Framework for Determining the Suitability of Undeveloped Land for Use as Cropland" is a decision-making format to assist private and governmental agency decision makers in categorizing undeveloped lands, which have been identified as having potential for conversion to cropland, as to their suitability for use as cropland. The Framework...

Human influences on historical and current wildlife distributions from Lewis & Clark to today

Creator:: Laliberte, Andrea S.
Abstract:: Although it is well known that humans are strong modifiers of their environment, there is a need for greater understanding of human-wildlife interactions, both historically as well as currently. Historical journals can help shed light on early human-wildlife interactions, and the Lewis & Clark journals contain some of the earliest...

Forest Response to Water Availability and Disturbance in the Western United States

Creator:: Berner, Logan T.
Abstract:: Earth’s atmosphere is unequivocally warming due to CO₂ and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human activities and this is having widespread impacts on forest ecosystems that provide important services to human societies. Forest ecosystems help regulate atmospheric CO2 concentrations by sequestering carbon in tree biomass and soils, which is...

Population Genetics of American Pika (Ochotona princeps) : Investigating Gene Flow and Genetic Diversity Across Multiple, Complex Landscapes

Creator:: Castillo, Jessica A.
Abstract:: American pikas (Ochotona princeps) are considered an indicator species of climate change. Adaptations for cold climates and active winters make pikas particularly sensitive to increasing temperatures. This, combined with evidence that multiple historically occupied populations have been extirpated within the past century, contributed to American pikas becoming a focal species...

Bioterrorism : a survey of western United States hospital response readiness

Creator:: Phillips, Margaret J.
Abstract:: A study to evaluate the level of hospital preparedness to respond to a bioterrorist attack such as smallpox or anthrax, in the western United States (Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon and Washington) was conducted from May to September 2000. A survey questionnaire was mailed to 300 randomly selected hospitals. A...

Directing ecological succession : the role of competition in restoring semi-arid grasslands dominated by invasive plants

Creator:: Mangla, Seema
Abstract:: Successful ecosystem restoration requires an understanding of the ecological processes directing succession. One of the challenges in the semi-arid grasslands of western United States is replacement of native species by invasive annual grasses. Solutions to this problem require identifying and manipulating ecological processes that direct succession to favor desired vegetation....

Semi-volatile organic compounds as molecular markers for atmospheric and ecosystem transport

Creator:: Genualdi, Susan A.
Abstract:: The use of semi-volatile organic compounds (SOCs) as molecular markers to identify the contributions of regional and long-range atmospheric transport, as well as current and historic sources, and contaminant deposition in remote ecosystems of the Western U.S. was investigated. Trans-Pacific air masses influenced by Siberian biomass burning events had elevated...
