It's great that they are being pro-active and have learned from the previous wildfire (s). - Jenny H - -

"The $7.7 million Hazardous Fuels Reduction project, funded by the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act, covered more than 2,000 total acres throughout seven communities in the Spring Mountains. Prevention efforts focused on thinning the forest and cutting away low branches near about 1,000 homes and roads. The project is meant to increase firefighter safety and slow the spread of any blaze. "It's safe to say that since the project, that extreme danger level has gone down," said Michael Frank, a fuel specialist and the prevention project manager with the U.S. Forest Service. "But there's always an inherent risk. There's still lots of the area that hasn't been treated." Kyle Canyon is considered an extreme fire danger because the forest is dense and there is only one main road in and out of the area. Mount Charleston is also particularly dry, Frank said." - Jenny H - -

Squeaking Up A Storm: Yes, That Mouse Is Singing : NPR - http://www.npr.org/2011...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

"The mice Pasch studies are called Alston's singing mice. They're easy to find if you're willing to spend days on end crawling around in the cloud forests of Latin America. Pasch says it's mostly males that sing. Their song consists mainly of a rapidly repeated note, like a trill. To see which songs are most attractive to females, he changes the frequency and rate of this trill. In one study that he reports in the current issue of Animal Behaviour, he put female mice in a mouse-sized arena with two speakers at opposite ends. Then he played them male songs with different note rates or trill rates, and watched what happened. The females showed a clear preference. "They approached the speakers that were emitting the faster trill. They approach that side more quickly, and spent more time there," says Pasch. Pasch thinks the faster trillers probably have other qualities that make them better mate material." - Jenny H - -

I love it! It hurts like hell sometimes and you feel like you're going to die and then you reach the summit and it's a high like I can't describe. And you bask in the glory until you realize you have to get back down to the bottom. That downhill can be *brutal*. ;) - Jenny H - -

Tracing the Fox Family Tree: The North American Red Fox Has a Diverse Ancestry Forged During Successive Ice Ages

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

"Based on fossil, archeological, historical, and ecological evidence, he hypothesized that contrary to prevailing theory, native red foxes arose from two distinct lineages that had been isolated from each other during the last glaciation. Using modern molecular genetics, a team of researchers led by Aubry has confirmed his hypothesis and revealed important new details about the evolutionary history of North American red foxes. Their analyses provide the foundation for revealing the red fox’s genealogy at finer levels, and aids conservation efforts by making it possible to distinguish native from nonnative populations, and identify those that may be threatened." - Jenny H - -

"The red fox is one of the most widespread and adaptable mammals on Earth. In the American West, however, there are populations of native red foxes that occur only in alpine and subalpine habitats, which may be at risk from human-caused and natural pressures. One potential threat is global climate change, which is likely to reduce both the amount and connectivity of suitable habitat for these unique red foxes. Until recently, the evolutionary history of native North American red foxes, which also occur in the boreal forests of Canada and Alaska, was largely speculative." - Jenny H - -

Antelope as indicators — High Country News - http://www.hcn.org/blogs...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

"One strategy that's helped them prosper for so long is migration, the ability to seasonally cross huge distances of country to seek better climate and habitat. Some of the antelope this winter traversed 250 miles of Montana before they found adequate range south of the reservoir, near the town of Jordan and along Highway 200. When Johnson went there in February, he noticed something strange: the antelope's legs were dark gray rather than the usual white. He found they were scabby and bloodstained with the hair worn off from traveling through brush and crusty snow. Making this difficult journey south of the worst snow paid off at first. The antelope fared well for the rest of the winter and were in good health when spring started to soften Montana, while those that stayed north of the Missouri River died by the thousands from freezing, starvation and collisions with trains when they went up on the tracks to escape deep snow. However, for those that did migrate, their main trial was still ahead, and like the trains, it was something for which evolution did not prepare them." - Jenny H - -

"This is not the first time antelope have faced extreme weather. The last record floods on the Milk River happened just 50 years ago, a mere blink in antelope evolutionary history. But recent landscape changes such as dams, fences and subdivisions threaten migration as a survival strategy for the pronghorn. Add to that, the record 391 parts per million of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and dire predictions for more extreme weather to come. In an angry Washington Post op-ed responding to flooding throughout the Missouri River watershed plus recent wildfires and tornadoes, climate change activist Bill McKibben wrote, "you might find your thoughts wandering to, oh, global warming, and to the fact that climatologists have been predicting for years that as we flood the atmosphere with carbon we will also start both drying and flooding the planet, since warm air holds more water vapor than cold air." (I recommend listening to a reading of the letter here.) It's this dual threat of human-built obstacles like reservoirs and fences blocking migration on the ground and a shifting climate pushing wildlife to cover more distance in their search for suitable habitat that puts migrating pronghorn in danger. They survived the die-off of prehistoric species and a brush with extinction from overhunting a century ago. Now the landscape these animals evolved with for millions of years is deteriorating. If we can't protect the climate and habitat enough to enable this long-term survivor to continue its ancient journeys, I have to wonder if we're doing enough to protect the land for our own fledgling species." - Jenny H - -
