The genetic relationship of American plains bison (Bison bison bison) and wood bison (Bison bison athabascae) was quantified and compared with that among breeds and subspecies of cattle. Plains bison from 9 herds (N = 136), wood bison from 3 herds (N = 65), taurine cattle (Bos taurus taurus) from 14 breeds (N = 244), and indicine cattle (Bos taurus indicus) from 2 breeds (N = 53) were genotyped...

At present the latrine in India is, as usuallymet with, a most insanitary arrangement; dark, airless and evil smelling. In the Indian Medical Gazette * I have already described a type of latrine for hill stations which has proved extremely satisfactory. The latrine here described is intended for the plains and is a distinct improvement on the usual model. i My object is to expose the whole inte...

39 Throughout the history of Great Plains grasslands, North American bison (Bos bison, also known as Bison bison; Jones et al. 1992) and other large herbivores were abundant and conspicuous components of the biota (Wedel 1961, Stebbins 1981). Many of the earliest herbivores, particularly those that were primarily browsers, are now extinct, but their consumption of woody vegetation is thought to...

[1] A 1 km vertical section of etched terrain and hematite-bearing plains materials and nearby cratered terrain surfaces was mapped in the northern portion of Meridiani Planum using MOC, THEMIS, MOLA, and OMEGA data. The oldest materials are the cratered plains, which have 0.4 to 2.5 mm spectral reflectance dominated by a mix of low and high calcium pyroxenes. Etched plains materials overlie th...

Ultra-early wheat growing systems based on soil temperature triggers for planting instead of arbitrary calendar dates can increase grain yield and overall system stability spring (Triticum aestivum L.) the northern Great Plains. We conducted field trials at three sites in western Canada from 2017 to 2019 evaluate suitability Canadian hexaploid cultivars market classes use within ultra-early sys...
