RMBL 2020 Current Research sites
This data set is created and updated yearly based on scientist, researcher, and student GPS mapping throughout the year. All of the current research sites from each summer are combined as polygons in one feature layer. This dataset is for public use and does not contain any private researcher name o
Comparing pollen presentation in bee and hummingbird pollinated penstemons
Spatial distribution and nest site selection in a Colorado cavity-nesting bird community
Effect of parasite load on song characteristics and response to aggression in male mountain white-crowned sparrows (<i>Zonotrichia leucophrys oriantha</i>)
The foraging behavior of bees in response to the floral biology of <i>Frasera speciosa</i> (Gentianaceae)
Effect of case removal and increased nutrition on larval development, pupation, emergence time, and sexual selection in a caddisfly (Agrypnia deflata, order Trichoptera)
Effects of herbivory on visitation rates of pollinators and antagonists to <i>Ipomopsis aggregtata</i>
The effects of ungulate herbivory and nutrient variation on pollen reciept in Ipomopsis aggregata
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ungulate herbivory (clipped, unclipped) and nutrient variation (ambient, water added, fertilizer and water added) on conspecific and heterospecific pollen receipt to Ipomopsis aggregata. I found that both clipping and adding nutrients influ
Rock glaciers in southwestern Colorado as indicators of late-Holocene climate change: A lichenometric study using Rhizocarpon subgenus Rizocarpon
Relative survival rate of <i>Pieris napi</i> larvae in the field on different host (Cruciferae) plants
Biotic and abiotic effects on ant community structure
Previous studies have shown that plant species diversity, habitat type, elevation, and temperature affect ant community structure. In this study, I examined the roles of these factors at 10 sites in and around Gothic, CO in aspen stands and meadows. Data gathered through baiting experiments and pitf
The effect of protozoan parasitism on the variation of song characteristics of male mountain white-crowned sparrows (Zonotrichia leucophrys oriantha)
Effects of nectar availability, floral display, and herbivore damage on pollinator visitation rates in <i>Castilleja miniata</i> and <i>Castilleja linariifolia</i>
Predicting patterns of mating and potential hybridization from pollinator behavior
Hybridization in flowering plants is determined in part by the rate at which animal pollinators move between species and by the effectiveness of such movements in transferring pollen. Pollinator behavior can also influence hybrid fitness by determining receipt and export of pollen. We incorporated i
Resistance to pre-dispersal seed predators in a natural hybrid zone
The effect of nest box temperature on nestlings growth rate and parental feeding rates in a montane population of house wrens, Troglodytes aedon
The effect of hermaphrodite density and frequency at three spatial scales on the polen receipt and seed set of gynodioecious Geranium richardsonii (Geraniaceae)
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
