Characterizing the factors that determine the geographic range limits of species is a major goal of ecology. Historically, abiotic factors (e.g. light environment) have been the focus of research of species geographical distributions. While recent work has shown that pairwise species interactions (e

Pollinators are extremely important in the global ecosystem. Flowers have evolved attractive traits in order to draw these pollinators. Traits like colorful petals draw in pollinators to metabolic rewards such as nectar and pollen, and in return, pollinators transfer pollen between plants. Plants wi

Across all species, biparental care is an atypical and intriguing adaptation. Burying beetles, (Coleptera: Silphidae) exhibit a large range of biparental care to offspring, involving the upkeep of their sole food source, direct feeding to larvae, and protection of the brood from a wide variety of in

Over the next century the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other contributing greenhouse gases is predicted to generate an average increase in temperature 1-6˚C (Saavedra et al., 2003; Cleland et al., 2012). The proposed warming climate suggests a common myth of global warming th

Competition and habitat selection have been great topics for ecologists for decades and play a vital role in the study of ecology. In order to avoid competition, organisms partition their niches. Burying beetles (genus: Nicrophorus) occupy the small carrion niche and use carcasses as their primary r

! Gynodioecity is prolific within some angiosperm populations. These coexisting individuals within the same population will either be females that canʼt produce pollen, or hermaphrodites which can. Our study attempted to peer into the reasoning behind female persistence in Polemonium foliosissimum,

Nearly every aspect of a butterfly’s life is dependent on flight. Flight metabolic rate (FMR), which is the amount of CO2 produced during flight, serves as an indicator of flight capacity and performance. High flight metabolic rate has been found to be correlated with greater dispersal distance, and

Community ecology has recently begun to focus on using plant functional traits to understand community processes. In this experiment, I reduced specific leaf area (SLA) variance to determine how a reduced trait variance would affect plant production in a sub-alpine meadow community. The SLA was comp

Defining the mechanisms that enable species to coexist is a fundamental goal of community ecology. Attention to this question has traditionally focused on antagonistic species interactions, namely competition and predation, as controls on species coexistence. However, positive species interactions m

Animals that experience fear or stress may produce alarm calls, fear screams and mobbing calls and by doing so communicate their current state to conspecifics. These sounds are created by often easily identified because they contain nonlinear acoustic attributes that are somewhat acoustically unpred
