Global Bee Interaction Data
Last modified: January 09, 2025 IntroductionThis dataset comprises all bee interactions indexed by Global Biotic Interactions (GloBI; Poelen et al. 2014). It is published quarterly by the Big Bee Project (Seltmann et al. 2021) to summarize all available knowledge about bee interactions from natural
Airborne Magnetic and Radiometric Survey, Colorado Mineral Belt, Mid Block, 2023
This data release provides digital flight-line and gridded data for a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the central portion of the Colorado Mineral Belt, central Colorado. The Colorado Mineral Belt is a broad, northeast-southwest trending alignment of historic mining dist
Recreational trail traffic counts and trail proximity as a driver of ungulate landscape utilization
With continual growth in recreational trail use, it is becoming increasingly complicated to balance demands for outdoor recreation opportunities with wildlife conservation. To better understand how mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus canadensis) respond to trail-based recr
Data for: Predicting the contribution of single trait evolution to rescuing a plant population from demographic impacts of climate change
Evolutionary adaptation can allow a population to persist in the face of a new environmental challenge. With many populations now threatened by environmental change, it is important to understand whether this process of evolutionary rescue is feasible under natural conditions, yet work on this topic
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. Ou
Does current weather or seasonality influence antipredator vigilance in a hibernating mammal?
Feral Hues & Invasive Pigments: Examining Nature-Based Solutions through Ecosocial Art Engaging Spontaneous Urban Vegetation and Informal Greenspace
The project Feral Hues and Invasive Pigments (FH&IP) addresses the role of spontaneous urban plants (aka weeds) through ecosocial art, with the goal of reducing human alienation from plant life and land in urban and disturbed habitats. Hands-on work with spontaneous urban plants through ecosocial ar
Changes in insect population dynamics due to climate change
Abstract Climate change can modify the population dynamics of insects. In this instance, “climate” encompasses temperature and precipitation patterns, including dry season or snow cover duration and timing. Also included are changes in both climate means and variances. Insect declines in response to
Hydrological control of rock carbon fluxes from shale weathering
Shale bedrocks hold Earth’s largest carbon inventory. Although water is recognized for cycling elements through terrestrial environments, understanding how hydrology controls ancient rock carbon (Crock) release is limited. Here we measured depth- and season-dependent subsurface water fluxes and pore
Model and remote-sensing-guided experimental design and hypothesis generation for monitoring snow-soil–plant interactions
In this study, we develop a machine-learning (ML)-enabled strategy for selecting hillslope-scale ecohydrological monitoring sites within snow-dominated mountainous watersheds, with a particular focus on snow-soil–plant interactions. Data layers rely on spatial data layers from both remote sensing an
Sodium enriched nectar shapes plant–pollinator interactions in a subalpine meadow
Many plants have evolved nutrient rewards to attract pollinators to flowers, but most research has focused on the sugar content of floral nectar resources. Concentrations of sodium in floral nectar (a micronutrient in low concentrations in nectar) can vary substantially both among and within co-occu
Variations in bedrock and vegetation cover modulate subsurface water flow dynamics of a mountainous hillslope
Abstract Predicting the hydrological response of watersheds to climate disturbances requires a detailed understanding of the processes connecting hillslopes and streams. Using a network of soil moisture and temperature sensors, electrical resistivity tomography monitoring, and a weather station we a
Old-Aged groundwater contributes to mountain hillslope hydrologic dynamics
Understanding connectivity between the soil and deeper bedrock groundwater is needed to accurately predict a watershed’s response to perturbation, such as drought. Yet, the bedrock groundwater dynamics in mountainous environments are typically under-constrained and excluded from watershed hydrologic
Social security: Does social position influence flight initiation distance?
A variety of factors can influence an individual’s antipredator behavior including their group size because simply being around conspecifics may reduce predation risk. Recent work has shown that it is not just being around others, but rather the specific social relationships that individuals have wi
Climate forcing controls on carbon terrestrial fluxes during shale weathering
Climate influences near-surface biogeochemical processes and thereby determines the partitioning of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in shale, and yet the controls on carbon (C) weathering fluxes remain poorly constrained. Using a dataset that characterizes biogeochemical responses to climate forcing in shale
Bee phenological distributions predicted by inferring vital rates
AbstractHow bees shift the timing of their seasonal activity (phenology) to track favorable conditions influences the degree to which bee foraging and flowering plant reproduction overlap. While bee phenology is known to shift due to interannual climatic variation and experimental temperature manipu

The Belittled Beaver
The webfooted rodent deserves some praise, claim two scientists B= are pretty scarce in the Beaver State these days, but it wasn’t always that way. It’s estimated that in the mid-nineteenth century there were nearly a million beavers in Oregon. Today, there are an estimated 68,000. Reasons for the d
