Abstract:

Managing water (e.g., catchments) to increase the abundance and distribution of game is popular in arid regions, especially throughout the southwest United States, where biologists often manage water year-round for desert bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni). Bighorn may visit water when predators (e.g., mountain lions [Puma concolor], coyotes [Canis latrans]) do not, suggesting that differences in species ecology or their surface water requirements influence visit timing. Alternatively, visits by desert bighorn sheep and predators may align. The former outcome identifies opportunities to i

Abstract In 2014 the largest dairy company in the Middle East, Almarai, purchased a farm near Vicksburg, Arizona, to grow alfalfa as feed for cattle in Saudi Arabia. Almarai is headquartered at Al Kharj farms, just outside of Riyadh, where it has a herd of more than 93,000 milk cows. Given that dairy and alfalfa farms both require an immense amount of water to maintain, what explains these developments in the deserts of Arizona and Arabia? The answers are historical and contemporary, demanding an approach to “desert geopolitics” that explains how environmental and political narratives bind exp

Abstract:

A collection of 79 bacterial isolates was obtained by plating scrapings and swabs from five rock varnish samples of the Negev Desert, Israel. Of the bacterial isolates which were obtained, 74 were able to oxidize manganese (MnII→MnIV) under laboratory conditions. The manganese-oxidizing bacteria were characterized and identified, when possible, to genus. The predominant genera were Bacillus, Geodermatophilus, Arthrobacter, and Micrococcus. Examples of all of these genera were found from more than one rock. These same genera have been reported from manganese-rich rock varnish samples from the S

Abstract Though mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) persist in robust populations throughout most of their North American distribution, habitat loss, unregulated hunting, and other factors have reduced their historical range in México. Two of the 6 putative subspecies inhabiting México’s deserts and Baja California peninsula are of conservation concern, occupying islands in the Pacific Ocean (Odocoileus hemionus cerrosensis on Cedros Island: endangered) and Sea of Cortés (Odocoileus hemionus sheldoni on Tiburón Island: threatened).

Abstract:

Drainage systems for the desert Southwest are currently designed without much consideration for the climatological or surficial conditions of the region. The "100 year" flood has become the design standard throughout the United States due to misunderstandings about requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program. The effect of larger floods is virtually ignored, seasonal variations of rainfall patterns and intensities are neglected, and hydrologic data collection is extremely limited in watersheds of the urbanizing Southwest. The laws of nature are obscured by the rules of man during the

Abstract:

I evaluated methods of preventing desert mule deer from drowning in the concrete-lined Mohawk Canal, southwest Arizona, and monitored the movements of deer using this canal. A 15 km study section of the Mohawk Canal where most previous drownings occurred was checked 478 times from June 1982 through September 1985 and 5,307 deer-canal interactions (DCI) were recorded. Ninety-eight percent of the DCI were recorded from April through September. Deer fell into this canal ≥ 279 times: 116 escaped via steps, 79 via ramps, and 50 escaped unaided. Only 5 deer drowned in sections of the Mohawk Canal wi

Intake of forage differed significantly (P < 0.05) between sexes in every season. Intake of digestible protein for both sexes was highest in fall, lowest in the spring and summer for males and females, respectively. Significant (P < 0.05) differences of forage biomass were recorded among all vegetation associations and seasons in the Belmont Mountains.

Abstract:

Many plants are not commercially produced due to a lack of accessible information on their horticultural requirements and landscape potential. Members of the Legume Family (Leguminosae) are often conspicuous components of the vegetation of arid and semi-arid subtropical regions. Many of these plants are suitable for landscaping use in areas suited to their cultivation. Coursetia glandulosa, Erythrina flabelliformis, Eysenhardtia orthocarpa, Haematoxylon brasiletto, Lysiloma watsonii, Pithecellobium mexicanum, and Sophora arizonica are woody legumes native to the Sonoran Desert region which off
