Does Floral Nectar Depth Correlate With Pollinator Proboscis Length?
Pollination is essential for maintaining global biodiversity and our world’s food supply. Climate change is causing inefficiencies in plant-pollinator networks, so understanding the factors that determine which pollinators visit which plants will be exceedingly important for a sustainable future.

The effects of elevation on flower abundance and pollinator visits on Helianthella quinquenervis
Spatial-temporal variation in pollinator populations can have an impact in plant reproduction. This study assessed the effects of elevation on flower abundance, pollinator visitation, and types of pollinators visiting the Helianthella quinquenervis This flower species was chosen due to its vast abun

Reciprocal effects among the ant <i>Formica obscuripes</i> and the asters <i>Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus</i> and <i>Artemisia tridentata</i>
Variation in the structure and dynamics of bee assemblages across distinct montane meadows
Across different landscapes, plant abundance and richness change. Bee distributions may vary spatially in accordance to these differences in floral diversity. I used a habitat-based approach to investigate this hypothesis across three distinct meadow types: dry meadow, wet meadow-Veratrum and wet me

Aquatic invertebrate communities in old, new, and re-formed beaver ponds in the Trail Creek watershed
1. Beavers are ecosystem engineers. They alter the structure of their habitats when they cut woody vegetative material to create dams that result in ponds. Ponding slows water flow, resulting in fine sediment deposition. A wetland is created as the sediment continues to deposit. 2. The formation of

Investigating the potential mechanism behind bumble bee preference for Corydalis flowers inhabited by nectar specialist yeast
Flowering plants are in an evolutionary battle for the attention of pollinators to increase their fitness. However, microbes are increasingly recognized as key players in mediating interactions between plants and pollinators. Most studies of floral microbes have focused on the role of obligate necta

Stem and canopy growth analysis in Picea Engelmannii with UAVs and field measurements
Forests play a crucial role in mitigating climate change by sequestering large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, so it is critical to evaluate their capacity to store carbon over time. Existing research on forest carbon sequestration relies on field methods that do not allow for samplin
