The effect of climate change on the germination and growth rates of young subalpine fir (<i>Abies lasiocarpa</i>)
Comparing the level of human disturbance in 2009 and 2018 at yellow-bellied marmot (<i>Marmota flaviventer</i>) colonies
Natural areas and the animal communities within them are inevitably affected by human disturbance. Human disturbance can occur through tourism, ecotourism, and simply human presence. The effect of a human on an animal can be detrimental, and has even been shown to cause increases of stress response,

Determining the Effects of Climate-Induced Range Shifts on Caddisfly Population Dynamics
The geographic distribution of many freshwater insects is restricted in part by timing of snowmelt and the temperature of the water. Because of this, climate change is having a significant effect on the distribution of aquatic species around Gothic, Colorado. Scientists have documented that species

The impacts of early snowmelt and summer precipitation on the physiology and leaf morphology of <i>Ipomopsis aggregata</i>
Climate change is occurring, and the effects will be visible all over the planet. In a subalpine ecosystem, earlier snowmelt and changes in summer precipitation are predicted to occur due to an increase in air temperature. During the summertime, this variation may lead to changes in traits, a proces

An integrative study of marmot responses to ecotourism
Human disturbance in the form of ecotourism alters behavior many species and may impact fitness but few studies take an integrative approach to quantify impact in various ways to test for variation in physiological, behavioral, and consequential life history and demographic traits. We extended a pre

What abiotic and biotic factors predict the shapes of plant diversity-productivity relationships?
Anthropogenic influence over biodiversity has altered ecosystem functions. One important ecosystem function related to diversity is productivity. Plant richness has long been considered for determining productivity. Despite the importance of the relationships between diversity and productivity, thei

Behavioral correlates of innovation success in facultatively social marmots (<i>Marmota flaviventer</i>)
Innovation has transformed ecology and evolution, and understanding behaviors that lead to innovation success can have profound implications and applications in animal populations and human society. In past research, persistence, behavioral selectivity, and neophobia have influenced an individual’s
