ABSTRACT Kentucky, Missouri, and West Virginia occupy a unique place on the American political landscape. They have never been fully embraced as Southern by most observers, but at the same time they are not necessarily considered purely Northern or Midwestern states. As the intersection of North and South in the United States, these states present a unique opportunity to study the impact of regional identity on public opinion. Utilizing data from 2018 surveys of a random sample of these states residents, we demonstrate that Southern regional identification is fairly high in these states, and that this identification has a significant influence on opinion regarding politicians and policy preferences.

ABSTRACT Objective: Driving after drinking is a major concern among college students. The present study examined the association between interventionist use of positively valenced words and intervention outcomes in the context of a text-messaging based intervention aimed at reducing drinking after driving behaviors among college students. Method: Data analyzed in this manuscript come from a previously published randomized controlled trial of a brief intervention aimed at reducing alcohol-impaired driving. Participants were 25 college students who reported driving after drinking 2 or more drinks at least twice in the past three months. After completing baseline measures, participants were provided a brief personalized driving after drinking feedback intervention via text-messaging. Results: A moderation analysis revealed that the relationship between the number of drinks consumed prior to driving at baseline and the number of drinks consumed prior to driving at 3-month follow-up was moderated by the interventionist's use of positively valenced words during the intervention. Conclusions: These findings provide evidence that the use of positively valenced words by an interventionist during a text message-based intervention moderates intervention outcomes.

ABSTRACT The Red River Gorge Geological Area (RRGGA) and Clifty Wilderness (CW) are two gems of biodiversity in eastern Kentucky which draw over 40,000 visitors annually. Vascular floras of two wetlands (Booth Pond and Fish Trap) within the RRGGA and CW were conducted during the 2018 growing season. This project utilized 106 vouchers from 2016–2018, and documented 35 families, 49 genera, and 61 species. The most taxon-rich families include Cyperaceae (10 spp.), Fagaceae (four spp.), and Rubiaceae (four spp.). Rosa multiflora Thunb. ex Murr., an invasive species classified as a severe threat by the Kentucky Invasive Plant Council, was found at both sites. This study investigated two different ecological systems – Central Interior Highlands and Appalachian Sinkhole and Depression Pond with the upland sweetgum-red maple pond association (Booth Pond), and a Cumberland Seepage Forest with a forested swamp bog association (Fish Trap). Both associations are listed as imperiled (G2) by NatureServe. A Floristic Quality Assessment was also conducted for each site. Booth Pond had a Floristic Quality Index (FQI) score of 23.88 and a mean Coefficient of Conservatism (C) of 4.88 and Fish Trap had an FQI score of 23.57 and a mean C of 5.14.

ABSTRACT The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) is a Species of Greatest Conservation Need in Kentucky's State Wildlife Action Plan. The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources has monitored Kentucky's peregrine falcon population since 1997. However, research on the movements, habitat use, and breeding and non-breeding home range of Kentucky's nesting peregrine falcons is lacking. In this study, we used a solar-powered platform transmitter terminal (PTT) with global positioning system (GPS) and Argos capabilities to monitor the movements of a single adult, breeding female, peregrine falcon from 7 June 2015 to 4 May 2018. We found that the female falcon spent the majority of her time in close proximity to the nest site throughout the breeding and non-breeding season. Seasonal home range varied significantly with the largest home range size estimated during the post-fledging period, followed by the non-breeding season, and the smallest home range occurring during the pre-fledge period of the breeding season. We suspect that the increase in home range size observed during the post-fledging period can be attributed to parental care and post-fledge dependency of young.
