1995, Conference Paper, International Water Resources Engineering Conference - Proceedings
To document the changes in runoff characteristics of basins subject to urbanization, streamflow and precipitation data were collected at eight small basins in Antelope Valley, California, for the period 1990-93. The data collected at U.S. Geological Survey stations were supplemented by data collected at 35 long-term precipitation stations. These data...

1995, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the third Glacier Bay science symposium
As part of an ongoing, multi-agency study to determine the effects of closure of the commercial fishery for Dungeness crabs, Cancer magister, on crab population structure we examined patterns of distribution and abundance of crabs in nearshore habitats at five locations in and near Glacier Bay National Park. Sampling was...

1995, Journal of Geochemical Exploration (52) 351-371
Ground-water, alluvium, and bedrock samples were collected from drill holes near the Chimney Creek, Preble, Summer Camp, and Rabbit Creek disseminated gold deposits in northern Nevada to determine if Au and ore-related metals, such as As, Sb, and W, are being...
Are red-tailed hawks and great horned owls diurnal-nocturnal dietary counterparts?
C.D. Marti, Michael N. Kochert
1995, The Wilson Bulletin (107) 615-628
Red-tailed Hawks (Buteo jamaicensis) and Great Homed Owls (Bubo virginianus)are common in North America where they occupy a wide range of habitats, often sympatrically. The two species are similar in size and have been portrayed as ecological counterparts, eating the same prey by day and night. We tested the trophic...
Habitat correlates of Pacific halibut and other groundfish species in Glacier Bay National Park

Daniel R. Engstrom, editor(s)
1995, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the third Glacier Bay science symposium
Originally conceived as a modified Schnabel (1938) design mark-recapture study, the unique random sampling regime of this long line tagging study has allowed us to describe habitat correlates of Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) and other demersal fishes. Pacific halibut and other fish were captured by longline sets of constant length...
Fluctuating asymmetry and fractal dimension of the sagittal suture as indicators of inbreeding depression in dama and dorcas gazelles
Concepcion L. Alados, Juan Escos, John M. Emlen
1995, Canadian Journal of Zoology (73) 1967-1974
The effects of inbreeding on the developmental instability of skulls of dorcas (Gazella dorcas) and dama (G. dama) gazelles were investigated. In total, 132 dorcas gazelle skulls and 74 dama gazelle skulls from the Estación Experimental de Zonas Aridas in Almera, Spain, were measured. The fluctuating asymmetry of 9 meristic...

Skin reflectance as a non-lethal measure of smoltification for juvenile salmonids
Philip V. Haner, Joyce C. Faler, Robin M. Schrock, Dennis W. Rondorf, Alec G. Maule
1995, North American Journal of Fisheries Management (15) 814-822
Our efforts to find nonlethal methods of assessing the parr-smoll transformation of juvenile steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss and spring and fall chinook salmon O. tshawytscha led to the development of a video system for quantitatively measuring skin silvering using skin reflectance. Gill Na'.K'-ATPase activity, skin guanine concentration, and skin reflectance were...
Heterogeneity in pepper isolates of cucumber mosaic virus
G. Rodriguez-Alvarado, G. Kurath, J.A. Dodds
1995, Plant Disease (79) 450-455
Twenty-four cucumber mosaic cucumovirus (CMV) field isolates from pepper crops in Cali-fornia were characterized and compared by nucleic acid hybridization subgrouping, virion electrophoresis, and biological effects in several hosts. Isolates, belonging to subgroup I or subgroup II, were found that induced severe symptoms in mechanically inoculated bell pep-pers. Only two...
Endangered cui-ui of Pyramid Lake, Nevada

Cui-ui (Chasmistes cujus) is a large plankton-feeding fish that only occurs in Pyramid Lake, Nevada. It was put on the federal endangered list in 1967 based on declining population and absence of reproduction. A lake dweller, cui-ui is a stream spawner. Most of this century, this sucker species was unable...
Mutational analyses of molecularly cloned satellite tobacco mosaic virus during serial passage in plants: Evidence for hotspots of genetic change
Gael Kurath, J.A. Dodds
1995, RNA (1) 491-500
The high level of genetic diversity and rapid evolution of viral RNA genomes are well documented, but few studies have characterized the rate and nature of ongoing genetic change over time under controlled experimental conditions, especially in plant hosts. The RNA genome of satellite tobacco mosaic virus (STMV) was used...

Flowing-recirculated water system for inducing spawning phase sea lampreys to spawn in the laboratory
Kim T. Fredricks, James G. Seelye
1995, Progressive Fish-Culturist 297-301
We describe a water-recirculating system for inducing spawning of sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) held under laboratory conditions. Water temperature in the system was gradually increased to and maintained at 18 ± 2°C, the optimal temperature for spawning. About 10% freshwater was added daily to prevent buildup of waste products. Sea...
Assessment of interspecific interactions in plant communities: an illustration from the cold desert saltbush grasslands of North America
Carl D. Freeman, John M. Emlen
1995, Journal of Arid Environments (31) 179-198
Interspecific interactions influence both the productivity and composition of plant communities. Here, we propose new field procedures and analytical approaches for assessing interspecific interactions in nature and apply these procedures to the salt desert shrub grasslands of western Utah. Data were collected from two grazing treatments over a period of...

Prerelease disease treatment with potassium permanganate for Fall Chinook salmon smolts
Stanley D. Smith, Rowan W. Gould, Wally S. Zaugg, Lee W. Harrell, Conrad Mahnken
1995, Progressive Fish-Culturist (57) 102-106
Standard potassium permanganate treatment (2 mg KMnO4/L freshwater for 1 h on three consecutive days) was applied to presmolts (parr) and smolts of fall chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). Smoltification was determined by gill Na+,K+-ATPase activity. Treatments were conducted 73, 59, 45, 31, 16, and 2 d prior to full-strength seawater...
Index of predation on juvenile salmonids by northern squawfish in the lower and middle Columbia River and in the lower Snake River
David L. Ward, James H. Petersen, John J. Loch
1995, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (124) 321-334
We developed a predation index to describe the relative magnitude of predation on juvenile salmonids by northern squawfish Ptychocheilus oregonensis throughout the lower and middle Columbia River and lower Snake River. The predation index was the product of an abundance index and a consumption index. We evaluated various catch indices...

1995, Book chapter, Our living resources: A report to the nation on the distribution, abundance, and health of U.S. plants, animals, and ecosystems
White sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus), the largest freshwater fish in North America, live along the west coast from the Aleutian Islands to central California (Scott and Crossman 1973). Genetically similar reproducing populations inhabit three major river basins: Sacramento-San Joaquin, Columbia, and Fraser. The greatest number of white sturgeon are in the...
