Clayton, Dale H. | Nocturnal foraging of yellow-crowned night herons in the Bahamas | Detailed observations of nocturnal foraging of the Yellow-crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax violacevs) are not to be found in the literature, though this species commonly feeds at night (Kushlan 1978, Riegner 1982a). I observed several Yellow-crowned Night Herons foraging during November and December... | Nocturnal foraging; Bahamas; Nycticorax violacevs | 1985 |

Bilginsoy, Cihan | Prevailing wage regulations and school construction costs: evidence from British Columbia | The stock of public school buildings constructed during the baby boom is aging along with that generation of Americans. Soon much of this building stock will have to be replaced.(FN1) The financing of this rebuilding of America's schools is an emergent political issue of considerable importance. Giv... | 2000-01-01 | |

DeTar, Carleton | Topological susceptibility with the improved Asqtad action | Chiral perturbation theory predicts that in quantum chromodynamics light dynamical quarks suppress the topological (instanton) susceptibility.We investigate this suppression through direct numerical simulation using the Asqtad improved lattice fermion action. This action holds promise for carrying... | Chiral perturbation; Staggered fermions | 2003-12 |

Sekercioglu, Cagan | Impacts of birdwatching on human and avian communities | Ecotourism can be a vehicle for community-based conservation if it is conducted with an emphasis on the well-being of local ecosystems and human communities. Birdwatchers form the largest group of ecotourists, and are, on average, well-educated, wealthy and committed. This makes them ideal ecotouris... | 2002-01-01 | |

Coley, Phyllis D.; Kursar, Thomas A. | Effects of weather on fungal abundance and richness among 25 communities in the Intermountain West | Because moisture and temperature influence the growth of fungi, characterizing weather conditions favorable for fungi may be used to predict the abundance and richness of fungi in habitats with different climate conditions. To estimate habitat favorability to fungi, we examined the relationship of f... | Intermountain West; Utah; Microclimate; Fungal prevalence | 2002 |

Ehleringer, James R. | Patterns of local and nonlocal water resource use across the western U.S. determined via stable isotope intercomparisons | In the western U.S., the mismatch between public water demands and natural water availability necessitates large interbasin transfers of water as well as groundwater mining of fossil aquifers. Here we identify probable situations of nonlocal water use in both space and time based on isotopic compari... | 2014-01-01 | |

Ehleringer, James R.; Negus, Norman C. | Red Butte Canyon Research Natural Area: history, flora, geology, climate, and ecology | Red Butte Canyon is a protected, near pristine canyon entering Salt Lake Valley, Utah. It contains a well-developed riparian zone and a perennial stream; hillside vegetation ranges from grasslands on the lower limits to Douglas-fir and aspen stands at the upper elevations. In this paper we describe ... | Intermountain West; Grassland; Oak-maple; Plant adaptation; Red Butte Canyon Research Natural Area; Human impact | 1992 |
