The effects of natural sun exposure on the intensity and distribution of salamander biofluorescence
Salamanders have been used in a variety of different experiments to determine the health of various ecosystems. Biofluorescence was recently studied in amphibians in a study done in 2020. Not much is known about all its functions, more studies are needed to fully understand how it works and how it c

Temperature and relative humidity effects on nectar quantity, nectar quality, and plant-pollinator interactions
Nectar plays a critical role in attracting pollinators, thereby facilitating pollination and the spread of pollen. Nectar traits like volume and sugar concentration are strongly influenced by environmental factors such as temperature and relative humidity. Yet, there is little understanding of how t
Effects of <i>Didymosphenia germinata</i> on American Dipper (<i>Cinclus mexicanus</i>) Territory Size
The American dipper (Cinclus mexicanus) is a medium-sized passerine that forages predominantly in

Does Road Dust Affect Hylemya Oviposition in Scarlet Gilia (<i>Ipomopsis aggregata</i>)?
A previous study conducted at RMBL has found that road dust affects wildflower pollination and reproduction, this study included Ipomopsis aggregata. In 19 of 20 independent tests wildflowers carried less pollen on their stigmas in dusty conditions, but their seed sets were not consistently affected

Out of sight, out of mind: The role of carcass burial and maintenance in reducing competition in Nicrophorus investigator
Competition for ephemeral resources like carrion is intense among necrophagous insects, particularly burying beetles (Nicrophorus spp.), where reproductive success is limited by access to carcasses. Burial and post-burial maintenance behaviors are hypothesized to reduce carcass detection by competit
Comparing detritus breakdown rates with and without detritivores in subalpine ponds with different hydroperiods
It is widely accepted that in stream systems, detritivores accelerate the breakdown of detritus that has been “conditioned” by microbial decomposers. By accelerating the breakdown of dead plant material, detritivores release nutrients and smaller food particles that are used by downstream plants and
