Digital Data from Mineral Investigation of Sangre de Cristo Wilderness Study Area, Alamosa, Custer, Fremont, Huerfano, and Saguache Counties, Colorado, USA
This Data Release provides tabular and geospatial data digitized by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) from a U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBoM) report titled Mineral Investigation of Sangre de Cristo Wilderness Study Area, Alamosa, Custer, Fremont, Huerfano, and Saguache Counties, Colorado. The original p
Plant–Pollinator interactions in a changing climate
Climate change is expected to alter patterns of species co-occurrence, in both space and time. Species-specific shifts in reproductive phenology may alter the assemblages of plant species in flower at any given time during the growing season. Temporal overlap in the flowering periods (co-flowering)
Patterns of natural avalanche activity associated with new snow water equivalence and upper atmospheric wind direction and speed in the mountains surrounding Gothic, Colorado
Snowfall, temperature and wind are three factors that quickly change avalanche conditions. Ridge-top winds have been used to assess avalanche conditions with mixed success due to high variability. Few analyses have tested the effect upper atmospheric winds have on avalanche conditions. This study at
Predicting climate-induced shifts in burying beetle distributions: integrating niche partitioning, competition, and thermal performance
Global change implications of adaption to climatic variability
Willow branch selection by the red-naped sapsucker (<i>Sphyrapicus nuchalis</i>): The effects of branch characteristics on foraging behavior in Gothic, CO
Foraging Red-naped sapsuckers (Sphyrapicus nuchalis) displayed a clear preference for interior willow branches branches (80% of all total wells) over exterior branches, and for east-facing branches (62% of all total wells) over west-facing ones. Interior branches were most likely favored because of
Proximity to mountain big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata var. vaseyana) negatively affects performance of two shallow rooted forbs, low larkspur (Delphinium nuttallianum, syn. D. nelsonii) and aspen fleabane (Erigeron speciousus).
Dispersal, phenology and habitat preference of subalpine whirligig beetles (Coleoptera: Gyrinidae: Gyrinus)
Whirligig beetle populations from five temporary kettle ponds and one marsh near the Rocky Mountain Biological laboratory, Gunnison County, western Colorado U.S.A. were studied during summer 2010. The purpose of the study was to measure the effects of extreme fluctuating environmental conditions inc
The Landscape of Fear and Trophic Cascades: Does Human Presence at RMBL Affect Deer Behavior?
Testing the predictions of the Maximum Information Entropy Theory for abundance and energy distributions on the Gothic earthflow
Maximum Information Entropy theory, or MaxEnt, has been shown in many cases to accurately predict relationships between macroecological variables in ecosystems in a state of equilibrium. However, little testing has been performed on MaxEnt in disturbed sites. This study evaluated the accuracy of pre
Testing the oviposition cues that drive preference of <i></i>Hylemya<i></i> for different sexes of <i></i>Polemonium foliosissimum<i></i>
This investigation focused on how mutualists and antagonists affect the flowers of different sexes within the same species. My study examined plant and insect interactions in Polemonium foliosissimum to better understand the selective pressures that influenced the evolution of gynodioecy in this pla
Does breeding bird density drive vocal individuality?
Many species produce individually specific vocalizations and sociality is a hypothesized driver of individuality. Previous studies of social variation focused on species that were colonial nesters or not, and social group size in sciurid rodents. If sociality is an important driver of individuality,
Nectar and pollen rewards of invasive plants and their native congeners
Many invasive plants are equipped with a suite of mechanisms that can allow them to out-compete native plants. Recently, there has been growing recognition that invasive plants may affect native plants by luring away shared pollinators. The goal of this research was to explore the properties that ma
