The Influence of Forest Structure and Composition on Transpiration Rates Among Drought-Stressed Conifer Species in the Upper East River Watershed
Despite the ecological significance of prominent coniferous forests surrounding RMBL, there are few comprehensive studies on these systems, particularly regarding transpiration dynamics. Their critical role in carbon sequestration, microclimate dynamics, and water resource management in the Upper Co

New Record of Banana Yucca Leafminer, Prodoxus phylloryctus1 in Mesa County, Colorado
Una polilla minadora de Yucca baccata, Prodoxus phylloryctus (Wagner y Powell), fue documentada por primera vez en el condado Mesa, Colorado. Prodoxus phylloryctus recientemente recibió el nombre común de minador de hojas de Yucca baccata por parte de la Sociedad Entomológica de América. La primera
The Effect of Climate Change on Soil Organic Carbon over an Elevational Gradient
Climate change will increasingly impact ecosystem functioning due to shifts in species distributions as they seek their optimal climatic conditions. Plants rely on phenotypic plasticity of leaf traits to tolerate a change in their climate. Plant leaf traits also affect the carbon cycle of the local
The importance of parasitism and body condition in explaining variation in anti-predator vigilance in the yellow bellied marmot (<i>Marmota flaviventris</i>)
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).
Differential response of three large mammal species to human recreation in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, USA
Outdoor recreation benefits local economies, environmental education, and public health and wellbeing, but it can also adversely affect local ecosystems. Human presence in natural areas alters feeding and reproductive behaviors, physiology, and population structure in many wildlife species, often re
