Salmo Clarki

Yellowstone cutthroat trout (Salmo clarki bouvieri) have 64 chromosomes, without any subtelocentric chromosomes, while west-slope cutthroat trout (S. c. lewisi) have 66 chromosomes, including 12 subtelocentrics. Both subspecies have 104 chromosome arms. Chromosomal similarities are apparent between the Yellowstone cutthroat and Great Basin cutthroat subspecies, and between west-slope cutthroat trout and coastal cutthroat trout. These results demonstrate that at least two distinct evolutionary lines of cutthroat trout are present in the northern Rocky Mountain region. Key words: Salmo clarki, karyotypes, Yellowstone cutthroat trout, west-slope cutthroat trout, evolutionary relationships

Tent Caterpillar

The great basin tent-caterpillar is the most abundant form of Malacosoma found in the Rocky Mountain region of the United States. In Colorado, the species is often a serious pest of the aspen. It feeds upon a wide variety of deciduous trees and shrubs. In the foothills, Rhus trilobata and Prunus melanocarpa are frequently attacked. Whole aspen groves at higher altitudes are often defoliated by this species. In the mountains, the migrating larvae have occasionally been so numerous as to stop locomotives by greasing the rails with their crushed bodies.
