Reconciling Western toad phylogeography with Great Basin prehistory
… geographic distribution and phylogeny of Great Basin Western toads (Anaxyrus boreas spp.). The dynamic aquatic history of the Great Basin was evaluated as a potential model for early toad dispersal into regions which would later become arid and isolated, affecting gene flow and eventually …

Paleoindian technological provisioning in the western Great Basin
… contrast, "Paleoarchaic" hunter-gatherers of the Great Basin are thought to have become increasingly sedentary through time, specially adapted and tethered to diverse lacustrine/marsh resources; My research project aims to understand human adaptation during the early Holocene through …

Geochemical interpretation on groundwater flow in the Southern Great Basin
The study of geochemical processes and integrated water flow can help identify groundwater sources and improve predictions of contaminant fate and transport in groundwater systems. Understanding groundwater flow paths in and around the Nevada Test Site (NTS) is important due to the possible …

Steward's southern Great Basin research validated through obsidian artifact sources
Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) analysis of obsidian artifacts collected from ethnohistoric sites in southern Nevada revealed patterns consistent with Julian Steward's documentation of Western Shoshone socioeconomics. Specific obsidian sources were predicted to be present in artifact …

Estimating effective discharge at Lehman Creek, Great Basin National Park, Nevada
… as a response to tectonic uplift in the Basin and Range province. WL-1 also sits on resistant glacial debris (quartzite), which may cause Lehman Creek difficulty in shaping and maintaining its stream channel.

Systematics and biogeography of the Great Basin pocket mouse, Perognathus parvus
The Great Basin pocket mouse, Perognathus parvus, has a distribution that extends across three geological regions: Columbia Plateau, Great Basin and Colorado Plateau. Limited ability of P. parvus to disperse over large areas and across areas of unsuitable habitat provide a foundation for studying …

Ecosystem Consequences of Post-Fire Invasive Species in the Great Basin Desert
… adjacent post-fire communities in the northern Great Basin Desert using a gas-exchange chamber and micrometeorological techniques. Temporal and spatial patterns of NCE and ET were correlated with changes in leaf area. Net C exchange and ET in post-fire communities dominated by perennial …

Insights in plant ecology from Bromus tectorum invasion in the Great Basin, USA
… examines Bromus tectorum invasion in the Great Basin to increase scientific understanding of invasion dynamics and to provide rigorous information to enhance land management. First, a conceptual model of invasion, the Triangle Model for Evaluating Species Invasion, is presented. Components …
