These data were converted from the originally delivered Microsoft Access PLOTs database from the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. These comma-delimited data tables contain(s) vegetation mapping plot classification and accuracy assessment data, as we

The purpose of this study was to track year-to-year variation in aphid abundance on the host plant Ligusticum porteri (Apiaceae). We censused arthropod abundance on the flowering stalks of L. porteri weekly in June-August from 2012 to 2020. The censuses took place in ten L. porteri populations near

Data were collected as part of a study of population dynamics of solitary, cavity-nesting Hymenoptera. Nesting structures (“trap-nests”) were established at five study sites along an elevational gradient around the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in 2013. Two additional study sites were added i

Abstract Fear and anxiety may be adaptive responses to life-threatening situations, and animals may communicate fear to others vocally. A fundamental understanding of fear inducing sounds is important for both wildlife conservation and management because it helps us understand how to design repellen

Abstract Ranchettes are low-density, rural parcels typically from thirty-five to seventy acres that have proliferated across the Rocky Mountain West. They consume large amounts of land and increase fragmentation, leading to potentially negative impacts on the ecology and cultural identity of local p

A survey of granitic rock surfaces, talus and outcrops, at 25 sites in Rocky Mountain National Park yielded 81 saxicolous lichen species. Fifteen species in 11 genera, or 19% of the total species, were dominant. Observed only once were 31% or 25 species. No new species were reported. Our results sho

This presentation reviews the experiences of a meteorology-inspired infectious disease forecast station operating within a rural community. The forecast station promoted routine communication of a broader array of infectious disease activity than that monitored by public health; facilitated proactiv

Key Points Projected Gunnison River Basin hydrology is fitted to a gamma distribution Changes to wet and dry regime characteristics under climate change are expected Changing regime characteristics may influence future reservoir operations

Beaver can be important regulators of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, with effects far beyond their food and space requirements'. Beaver have the potential to modify stream morphology and hydrology by cutting significant amounts of wood and building dams. This in turn influences a variety of bio

The relatively cool, relatively dry interior of the North American continent might be almost too favorable a climate for both trees and people. Both thrive in a climate that lacks some of the natural controls — diseases, parasites, et cetera — that enforce a life-death balance in hotter, wetter clim
