Optimal reproductive strategy in yellow-bellied marmots: Unveiling the consequences of age at first reproduction on survival and lifetime reproductive success
When to reproduce for the first time is a key question in evolutionary ecology.
Gender specialization of flowers within inflorescences of hermaphroditic plants
Evolution of alternative life histories in the tiger salamander, <i>Ambystoma tigrinum nebulosum</i>
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)
Snowmelt affects aphid (<i>Aphis asclepladis</i>) populations through soil moisture and host plant phenology
Plant-insect interactions are ecologically important relationships that are greatly affected by climate change. Previous research concerning an aphid species (Aphis asclepiadis) and its host plant (Ligusticum porteri) has shown that aphid abundances correlate significantly with snowmelt date in the
Hydrologic connectivity shapes watershed response to climate variability from local to global scales
Gynodioecy is a mode of sex expression where male sterlie (hereafter female) plants and hermaphroditic plants coexist within a population. In order for the females to be maintained by natural selection, they must have experienced an increased fitness. Fitness is defined as the ability of genotype or

Climate Change, Phenological Shifts, and Species Interactions:
Propagating climate and vegetation change through the hydrologic cycle in a mountain headwaters catchment.
Prediction of hydrologic response to global climate change is paramount for regions that rely upon snowpack for their dominant water supply. Temperature increases are anticipated to be greater at higher elevations perturbing headwaters systems that provide water to millions of downstream users. In t
