Predators of the Whitetail
Daniel B. Fagre
1994, Book chapter, Deer
white-tailed deer have long been important prey for large predators. Before Europeans colonized North America, deer roaming the forested region east of the Great Plains and areas along the Gulf of Mexico were hunted by wolves and mountain lions, and by Native Americans for food and clothing materials. Today, wolves...
Niche relationships within a guild of ungulate species in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, following release from artificial controls
Francis J. Singer, Jack E. Norland
1994, Canadian Journal of Zoology (72) 1383-1394
Niche relationships and diet overlaps were compared among elk (Cervus elaphus), bison (Bison bison), bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), and pronghorn antelope (Antilocapra americana) between 1967–1970 and 1986–1988, a period when total ungulate numbers nearly tripled on Yellowstone's northern range. Ungulate species ratios on Yellowstone's northern winter...

B. Miller, D. Biggins, L. Hanebury, A. Vargas
1994, Book chapter, Creative Conservation: Interactive management of wild and captive animals
The black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) (Figure 27.1) is a small, secretive, nocturnal member of the family Mustelidae (Hall, 1981; Honacki, Kurman and Koeppl, 1982). Ferrets have an obligate dependence on the prairie dog (Cynomys spp.) community, utilizing the prairie dog for food and its burrows for shelter (Campbell et al.,...
Effects of mesoscale vegetation distributions in mountainous terrain on local climate
R. A. Pielke, T. J. Lee, Timothy G.F. Kittel, T. N. Chase, J. M. Cram, Jill Baron
1994, Book chapter, Mountain environments in changing climates
Even a casual observer from an aircraft will note the varied landscape of mountainous terrain. These variations in land surface include the terrain features themselves as well as patchiness from different vegetation types, surface geology, urbanization, etc. There are two major questions related to climate system dynamics that need to...
Recent trends of desert tortoise populations in the Mojave Desert
Paul Stephen Corn
1994, Report, Biology of North American tortoises
The desert tortoise, Gopherus agassizii (Cooper), was listed as threatened in the Mojave Desert in 1990. Important factors for the listing were severe recent mortality in tortoise populations and a general decline throughout this century. Recent trends in tortoise populations were examined by plotting total captures of adult...
Avian assemblages on altered grasslands
Fritz L. Knopf
1994, Studies in Avian Biology (15) 247-257
Grasslands comprise 17% of the North American landscape but provide primary habitat for only 5% of native bird species. On the Great Plains, grasslands include an eastern component of tall grasses and a western component of short grasses, both of which have been regionally altered by removing native grazers, plowing...
Effects of major storms on Pacific Islands
Bruce Richmond
1994, Report
Tropical storms of various kinds are as much a depositional event as an erosional event. Much attention is given to the destructive aspects of major storms because of the loss of life and property, but little is known about their beneficial effects to coastal accretion. While we can usually measure...
Maps of the World
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1994, Report
Because a map conveys information visually, it is often the best way for presenting facts about the size, shape, and appearance of our world and about the changes that people have imposed on the world. Some world maps show the mountains, rivers, oceans, and plains that make up the face...
Using maps in genealogy
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1994, Report
In genealogy, maps are most often used as clues to where public or other records about an ancestor are likely to be found. Searching for maps seldom begins until a newcomer to genealogy has mastered basic genealogical routines...
