Short Title : Invertebrates in freshwater wetlands of North America ecology and management

Abstract : The presence of sublacustrine geothermal activity in Yellowstone Lake , Yellowstone National Park , WY has resulted in an interesting freshwater ecosystem . Analyses of bulk lake

and hydrothermal vent water have indicated that vent emanations contain increased levels of mineral nutrients and gases , which , similar to marine hydrothermal emanations , are capable of supporting diverse microbial communities . The data presented in this dissertation pertains to the distribution and concentration of methane in the hydrothermal features and water columns of Yellowstone Lake and the relative size and distribution of methanotroph communities within these features of geothermally active Mary Bay . Additionally , the methanotrophic community structure of selected vents within this basin will be discussed

Short Title : The Ice-Age history of national parks in the Rocky Mountains

Abstract : During the last ice age , glaciers formed high in the Rocky Mountains and carved out the peaks and valleys visible today . Recreating the landscape and life forms of this era of the last great glaciations (from 10 ,000 to 125 ,000 years ago , this guidebook describes a little-known yet pivotal period in the ecological history of four western national parks : Glacier , Yellowstone , Grand Teton , and Rocky Mountain . Scott A . Elias describes how great sheets of ice spread over and changed the shape of the land - forming the steep-walled valleys and braided rivers of Glacier National Park , the chain of so-called "pater noster " lakes in the lower Rockies , and the end moraines that dammed Jenny , Bradley , Taggart , and Phelps lakes in the Grand Teton park Drawing on fossil evidence , he also introduces the large animals that thrived 21 ,000 years ago - dire wolves , short-faced bears , American cheetahs , and mammoths - and that quickly died off at...
