  Western North American Naturalist
From northernmost Canada and Alaska to southern Mexico, and from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean, western North America encompasses land of incomparable variety and habitat diversity: hot deserts and cold deserts, lush valleys, towering mountains, rivers and streams, sandy beaches, frozen tundra, windswept ridges, alkali flats, tranquil forests, and seemingly endless space.
The Western North American Naturalist places neither restriction nor preference on manuscripts within the disciplines of the biological sciences.
The Western North American Naturalist is published quarterly.

The American Naturalist is the oldest biology journal in the United States, having been established in 1867.
In the 1970s, the Naturalist was probably a leading outlet for theoretical developments in population genetics, and in the ‘80s and early ‘90s, for behavioral ecology.

 Study Explores Plant Phenotypic Plasticity Belowground
Underlying the theory is the idea that large, dominant plants forage over large distances ("foraging scale") but are unable to place their roots precisely ("foraging precision"), while small, subordinate plants are able to coexist with the dominants, in part, because they exhibit greater foraging precision.
In an article in the August 2005 issue of The American Naturalist, Steven Kembel and James Cahill test the validity of this foraging trade-off theory using a data set of more than 100 species, compiled from previously published studies.
Sponsored by the American Society of Naturalists, The American Naturalist is a leading journal in the fields of ecology and evolutionary biology and animal behavior.

 American Naturalist (Reason): American Treasures of the Library of Congress
The drawings were done either by Say himself, or, as in this case, by Titian Ramsay Peale (1799-1885), the youngest son of Charles Wilson Peale, based on observations taken from nature in the course of various expeditions to the South, the Rocky Mountains, the Minnesota River Basin, and Mexico.
As he wrote, "It is an enterprise that may be compared to that of a pioneer or early settler in a strange land," and he did much to advance Americans' understanding of the natural world they encountered as they moved inexorably across the continent.
Son of a wealthy Quaker merchant, Say himself chose to sacrifice material comforts for the sake of science and was chronically ill from the malnutrition he experienced as a young man. In the 1830s he followed British philosopher Robert Owen to Indiana, where Owen established the utopian community of New Harmony.

 Sierra: John Burroughs: An American Naturalist. - book reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
He shows how Burroughs' years away from the farm not only afforded the essayist the leisure to develop his descriptive powers and the chance to befriend Walt Whitman (his future guru), but also convinced him to return to his rural roots.
Sizing up Burroughs' fit with his times, he shows how easy it was for a naturalist awed by Charles Darwin's genius to get caught up in the late 19th century's gathering tidal wave of social Darwinism.
He tracks Burroughs' myth-busting role in a hot debate (since cooled by the advent of documentary films) over conflicting notions of animal behavior.

Then, although I'd never heard of John Burroughs, I moved onto this excellent biography of a fascinating but neglected figure of American history, and am glad I did.
Edward Renehan has restored John Burroughs to his rightful place in the history of American literature and conservation.
