Predictors and Strength of Microclimate Buffering in the Gunnison Valley
Microclimate is an incredibly important factor in understanding how organisms behave and interact with their environment. Microclimate is defined as climate on a very small spatial resolution, referring to areas that may have differing climates than their surrounding macroclimate. Depending on the c

What is the nature of the ant-aphid relationship?
Many aphid species, on a wide variety of plants, are tended by ants. We tested whether the relationship between the ant species Formica obscuripes and an aphid species on rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus) was a mutualism and, if so, whether it was obligate or facultative. Using a fully facto

Effects of Light Availability on Aspen Understory Species
Trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) is a keystone species found throughout North America. P. tremuloides is a successional species which aids the regeneration of ecosystems after disturbance. However, climate change is altering aspen forest dynamics. Aspen forest die- off in the American Southwest
A Bayesian record linkage approach to applications in tree demography using overlapping LiDAR scans
In the information age, it has become increasingly common for data containing records about overlapping individuals to be distributed across multiple sources, making it necessary to identify which records refer to the same individual. The goal of record linkage is to estimate this unknown structure

Does stigma-anther separation prevent sexual interference in dwarf bluebells (<i>Mertensia fusiformis</i>)?
Innumerable floral traits have been ascribed adaptive significance via a variety of mechanisms. One such trait is herkogamy, the spatial separation of the stigma and anthers. In self-incompatible plants, herkogamy is thought to reduce sexual interference, defined as any situation in which one sex fu

Celebrating Creation on the Colorado River
Ancient figures and symbols are carved into a high rock wall beside the Colorado River, just south of where a traditional Native American geotrail crosses the river near Moab, Utah, USA. Based on ethnographic interviews with tribal and pueblo representatives, the rock peckings identify an ancient ce
