Niche relationships and diet overlaps were compared among elk (Cervus elaphus), bison (Bison bison), bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), pronghorn antelope (Antilocapra americana) between 1967–1970 1986–1988, a period when total ungulate numbers nearly tripled on Yellowstone's northern range. Ungulate species ratios winter range during the latter 100 : 10 3 2 pronghorns 1 bighorns. Elk positively correlated to bison, deer, (r = 0.76, 0.97, 0.48, respectively, P...
Abstract Plant blindness, the inability of people to notice plants, is current interest in natural sciences community. It has been hypothesized that communities varying cultures may have improved plant sight. Researchers used an online survey assess citizens ability identify plants. The also intended address concern elders from Turtle Mountain Band Chippewa Indians (TMBCI) who seen reduced abundance traditional species. assessed knowledge local wetland, grassland, and forest habitats; names...
Abstract Since 1999, plant blindness, now known as awareness disparity (PAD), has gained great awareness. However, no study to date explored the impact of multiple demographic factors, including those an indigenous population, in understanding knowledge. Specifically, this assessed how race, gender, rurality, and college type general biology students influenced their self‐perceived knowledge where that was learned. A total 702 across six different colleges, three tribal non‐tribal completed...
Abstract Kabetogama Lake in Voyageurs National Park, Minnesota, USA suffers from recurring late summer algal blooms that often contain toxin-producing cyanobacteria. Previous research identified the toxin microcystin blooms, but we wanted to better understand how and cyanobacterial community changed throughout an open water season changes structure were related production. Therefore, sampled one bloom location entire season. The uniqueness of this study is absence urban agricultural nutrient...

Core Ideas Human figure drawing protocols were modified to assess children's plant drawings. When plants in situ, students unable accurately represent characteristics. Drawings lacked detail and only contained prominent features, some inaccurate features. Students had over-simplified mental models of plants, indicating blindness. It has been speculated that most people have blindness, meaning go unnoticed by the majority population. This study sought combine knowledge multiple disciplines...
In the northern Great Plains (United States), sites with less than 20% of native species are difficult to restore. We have experimented a restoration method that shows some promise. It consists systematically installing simulated small‐scale patches (8.0 m 2 in size) over 25% an old field and then seeding these species. The working hypothesis is will generate constant source propagules which time lead increases diversity within surrounding grass matrix. objective this paper was determine...
Abstract Questions How are plant species richness and diversity related to spatial autocorrelation under grazed ungrazed conditions in grassland communities? Is dissimilar within different Location The grasslands of southeast N orth D akota, USA . Methods study was conducted during the summer 2009 six management (grazed vs with fire) along a moisture gradient. Spatial at each site measured 50‐m transects among three landscape positions representing levels. Dissimogram multivariate analysis...
Abstract Restoring forb richness to the northern tallgrass prairie (U.S.A.) is often problematic. A potential solution establishment of native forb‐seeded patches that can serve as colonization sites. This study was designed determine following: (1) success at which forbs sown in small colonize surrounding vegetation matrix and (2) whether soil amendments (C additions, P fertilization, seed bank reduction) applied seeded sites facilitate such (patch quality). Colonization investigated...
