1 | Green, Austin | Measuring occupancy and occurrence of medium and large mammals in Red Butte Canyon Research Natural Area using motion-activated camera traps | With expanding urbanization and development, human encroachment on wilderness areas continues to increase. In Utah, much of the once pristine and untouched mountain ecosystems of the Wasatch Front have been developed for recreation and other human use, and this increasing human-wildlife interaction... | Red Butte Canyon (Salt Lake County, Utah); Wilderness area monitoring - United States; Wildlife conservation - Utah | ||
2 | Bell, Anthony W. | The expansion of pinyon-juniper woodland and the appearance of peromyscus truel in the Toiyabe range of central Nevada | In the early twentieth century field biologists from the University of California Museum of Vertebrate Zoology conducted vertebrate faunal surveys throughout the Great Basin region. Over the past several years we have been conducting resurveys of many of the localities visited by MVZ scientists. Our... | Piñon mouse -- Nevada -- Toiyabe Range; Piñon mouse -- Habitat -- Nevada -- Toiyabe Range; Piñon mouse -- Climatic factors -- Nevada -- Toiyabe Range | 2012-05 | |
3 | Beseris, Ethan | Biological impact protection in human facial hair | Our study investigated selective mechanisms that influenced the evolution of facial hair in human males (Homo sapiens). Beards are often perceived as an indicator of masculinity and social dominance in men, suggesting that they may play a role in male contest competition. Some authors propose that t... | 2018 | ||
4 | Fernandez, Florence | Evaluation of environmental education in high school science courses across Salt Lake City, Utah | While the effects of pollution become Incredibly more evident in the air of the Salt Lake Valley, many Utah high school students still lack the knowledge and information necessary to take preventative and immediate actions to protect their health and their environment. In this study, the reasons for... | Environmental education -- Utah -- Salt Lake City; Science -- Study and teaching -- Utah -- Salt Lake City; Air -- Pollution -- Utah -- Salt Lake City | 2015-05 | |
5 | Guernsey, Michael | Mclr is not solely responsible for pigmentation variation among domestic pigeons | Feather pigmentation in the domesticated rock pigeon, Columba livia, is stunningly diverse. Plumage pigmentation in this, and other, columbid (pigeon and dove) species plays an important role in mate choice and thus is a driving factor in the process of sexual selection. To study the genetic basis o... | 2012 | ||
6 | Skedros, Gregory Athanasios | Structural and material changes in the sheep radius from newborn to adult: Functional adaptation versus developmental constraint | Bones that exhibit marked changes in structural and material characteristics during ontogeny are potentially useful for studying the mechanisms that produce functional adaptations. The diaphyseal region of the sheep radius was examined because it is relatively simply loaded in cranial-caudal bending... | Functional adaptations - Sheep; Developmental constraint - Sheep; Ontogeny | 2015-08 |
