- Biology
- 15 March 1973
Twig girdler larvae may compete for space and food with other cerambycids and several species of bostrichids, and are attacked by parasites in the families Chalcedectidae, Pteromalidae, Eupelmidae, and Eurytomidae, as well as by predators in the family Cleridae.

Redberry juniper-herbaceous understory interactions.
- K. Dye, D. Ueckert, S. Whisenant
- Biology
- 1 March 1995
The juniper-driven successional processes of tree dominance, debilitation of understory dominants, influx of subsidiary species, and the general reduction in diversity, density, and biomass of the herbaceous species were evident on all 3 sites.

Fruit from 9 species of native plants were the most important food for coyotes, mainly as rainfall in May-and September, and there is usually a dry making up 46% of the annual diet, while the winters are relatively mild.
Germination of fourwing saltbush seeds: interaction of temperature, osmotic potential, and pH.
- R. L. Potter, D. Ueckert, Joseph L. Petersen, M. McFarland
- Biology
- 1986
The interactive effects of temperature, osmotic potential, and pH on germination were evaluated with seed from 4 populations of fourwing saltbush from western Texas, suggesting that its seed may be adapted for germinating under conditions of limited moisture.
