    Gaits and Their Development in the Infraorder Pecora by Anne Innis Dagg, M.A. THESIS Presented to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of the University of Waterloo in partial ful­ fillmenc of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosopty in Biolog The University of Waterloo February, 1967 The University of Waterloo requires the signature of all persons using this thesis. Please sign below, and give address and date. I hereby declare that I am the sole a�thor of this thesis. I authorize the University of Waterloo to lend it to other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. Signature Abstract The gaits of twenty-eight species of the Infraorder Pecora are analyzed from motion picture sequences comprising over 45,000 frames. For each gait the percentage time spent on the various supporting legs during each stride and the order in which the combinations of supporting legs were used are tabulated. When possible the times for the strides are calculated. The walk patterns of each of the four families studied are shown to be statistically distinctive. Within each family, those members that live where the vegetation is so dense that they must rely on hearing to warn them of danger use a more stable walk than those species that inhabit open grasslands. A stable walk is that in which diagonal legs are used in·preference to lateral legs and three or four supporting legs are used rather than two. With a more stable walk, 4 species is able to pause quickly and to flee instantly if danger thr�atens.

    2016 Report to the Governor and the Minnesota State Legislature On

    2016 Report to the Governor and the Minnesota State Legislature on Funding for Minnesota Zoo Programs supported by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund Introduction The Minnesota Zoo was established by the State Legislature to foster a partnership between the private sector and the state for the purpose of operating a zoological garden. The “New Zoo” opened to the public in 1978 and has grown into a world-leading zoo and recognized leader in family recreation, environmental education, and conservation. The mission of the Minnesota Zoo is to connect people, animals and the natural world to save wildlife. Today, more than 4,700 animals representing 400+ species (many of which are endangered or threatened) reside at the Zoo. Funding from the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment has propelled the expansion of the Zoo’s conservation, conservation education, Minnesota farm heritage, Minnesota natural heritage, and Zoo site habitat and landscape programs for the benefit of the citizens of our state. A Statewide Resource The Minnesota Zoo is of one of two state-run zoos in the country and provides programs and services that reach every corner of the state. Legacy appropriations have provided critical funds that have been used toward programs that expand and enhance this service and bring our conservation efforts into Greater Minnesota. In FY15, the Zoo’s service to the state included: 1.2 million guests, including 41,100 member households from 83 Minnesota counties Minnesota’s #1 environmental education center, serving 500,000+ participants each year 120,000 free admission passes distributed through 87 county agencies and dozens Field conservation activities in Northwestern, Northeastern and Southwestern Minnesota Appropriation Summary This report highlights projects paid for with Legacy appropriations in FY16 and provides updates on projects funded in FY15, for which funds are available through June 30, 2016.

    Moose Are One of Minnesota's Most Prized Wildlife Species. in Less Than

    2010 Project Abstract For the Period Ending June 30, 2012 PROJECT TITLE: Identifying Critical Habitats for Moose in Northeastern Minnesota PROJECT MANAGER: Ronald A. Moen AFFILIATION: Natural Resources Research Institute, University of Minnesota Duluth MAILING ADDRESS: 5013 Miller Trunk Highway CITY/STATE/ZIP: Duluth, MN 55811-1442 PHONE: (218) 720-7372 E-MAIL: [email protected] WEBSITE: http://www.nrri.umn.edu/moose FUNDING SOURCE: Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund LEGAL CITATION: ML 2010, Chap. 362, Sec. 2, Subd. 3(k) APPROPRIATION AMOUNT: $507,000 Overall Project Outcome and Results Moose are one of Minnesota’s most prized wildlife species. In less than 20 years moose in northwestern Minnesota declined from over 4,000 to fewer than 100. The northeastern Minnesota moose population, which had over 7,000 moose until 2009, is in the middle of what appears to be a similar decline. Higher mortality in radiocollared moose is correlated with warmer temperatures. We used satellite collars to track moose in northeastern Minnesota and collected GPS locations day and night 365 days a year. Over 2 million moose locations and activity data were obtained. Specific habitats needed by moose were identified using the satellite collars. Spatial distribution and availability of habitat types has guided identification of specific sites for enhancement, protection, or acquisition. Habitat guidelines and recommendations help private and public land managers provide the best possible habitat for moose. The project was part of a coordinated effort involving many resource management agencies to determine if it is possible to slow or prevent a decline in the northeastern MN moose population.

  • Casa Del Prado in Balboa Park

    Casa Del Prado in Balboa Park

    Chapter 19 HISTORY OF THE CASA DEL PRADO IN BALBOA PARK Of buildings remaining from the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, exhibit buildings north of El Prado in the agricultural section survived for many years. They were eventually absorbed by the San Diego Zoo. Buildings south of El Prado were gone by 1933, except for the New Mexico and Kansas Buildings. These survive today as the Balboa Park Club and the House of Italy. This left intact the Spanish-Colonial complex along El Prado, the main east-west avenue that separated north from south sections The Sacramento Valley Building, at the head of the Plaza de Panama in the approximate center of El Prado, was demolished in 1923 to make way for the Fine Arts Gallery. The Southern California Counties Building burned down in 1925. The San Joaquin Valley and the Kern-Tulare Counties Building, on the promenade south of the Plaza de Panama, were torn down in 1933. When the Science and Education and Home Economy buildings were razed in 1962, the only 1915 Exposition buildings on El Prado were the California Building and its annexes, the House of Charm, the House of Hospitality, the Botanical Building, the Electric Building, and the Food and Beverage Building. This paper will describe the ups and downs of the 1915 Varied Industries and Food Products Building (1935 Food and Beverage Building), today the Casa del Prado. When first conceived the Varied Industries and Food Products Building was called the Agriculture and Horticulture Building. The name was changed to conform to exhibits inside the building.
