Beetles were captured using speed nets, marked with tungsten needle dot codes on elytra, and released for recapture monitoring to estimate population sizes and dispersal patterns. Elytral condition wa...

Comprehensive measurement of leaf morphological, physiological, and chemical traits including stomatal conductance, leaf mass per area, nitrogen content, and spectral properties to characterize plant ...

Daily monitoring of individual female butterflies including artificial feeding with sucrose solution and daily egg collection. Measures lifetime reproductive output and adult lifespan under controlled...

Pooled whole genome sequencing approach using DNA from multiple individuals per population to identify SNPs associated with environmental variables and population differentiation patterns.

Integration of field GPS coordinates with multiple spatial datasets (elevation, slope, land cover, climate) to characterize environmental conditions at population locations. Uses established spatial d...

Long-term monitoring of subsurface temperatures in pika habitat using buried data loggers to characterize thermal stress and microclimate conditions.

Statistical modeling of capture-recapture data to estimate seasonal survival probabilities across age classes using program MARK with model selection via AICc.

Population counting and demographic data collection of plant species.

Trapping animals to record age, sex, locality, reproductive status, location changes, fate, and genetic information. Data collected across 37 years at 12 sites.
