Data associated with Quaternary Research manuscript Latest Pleistocene glacial chronology and paleoclimate reconstruction for the East River watershed, Colorado, USA
The data here are associated with Quaternary Research manuscript Latest Pleistocene glacial chronology and paleoclimate reconstruction for the East River watershed, Colorado, USA and include data associated with cosmogenic exposure and depth profile dating as well as glacier-climate numerical modeli
Gunnison sage-grouse predicted gene flow (conductance) surfaces, Colorado, United States
Habitat fragmentation and degradation impacts an organism's ability to navigate the landscape, ultimately resulting in decreased gene flow and increased extinction risk. Understanding how landscape composition impacts gene flow (i.e., connectivity) and interacts with scale is essential to conservati
Potentilla demographic and environmental data for Rainbow Meadows, Elk Meadows, and Cabin Clearing, 2018 - 2020.
To understand parent-hybrid dynamics in cinquefoil (Potentilla) species in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, I am estimating environmental overlap among parents and hybrids, interbreeding among parents and hybrids, and hybrid population growth in multiple natural populations at NWT and (not included her
Potentilla flowering phenology for Cabin Clearing, Elk Meadows and Rainbow Meadows, 2019.
To understand parent-hybrid dynamics in cinquefoil (Potentilla) species in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, I am estimating environmental overlap among parents and hybrids, interbreeding among parents and hybrids, and hybrid population growth in multiple natural populations at NWT and (not included her

Data from: Individual life histories: Neither slow nor fast, just diverse
The slow-fast continuum is known to structure variation in life-history strategies across species. Within populations, it is also assumed to structure individual life histories, yet evidence of its existence remains unclear. We formally assessed the presence of a slow-fast continuum of life historie
Raw soil carbon dioxide, moisture, and temperature data from a mixed conifer and aspen forest stands in the East River Watershed of Colorado June 2011-December 2021.
These datasets contain raw data from adjacent mixed-conifer (Abies lasiocarpa and Picea engelmannii) and deciduous (Populus tremuloides) forest stands in the Elk Mountains at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in Gothic, Colorado (38.9592◦ N, longitude: 106.9898◦ W and elevation of 2880 m). Ea
Community-level flowering & fitness data across an elevational gradient, Rocky Mountain Biological Lab, 2021-2022
We collected data at three sites in Washington Gulch near the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL, Gothic, Colorado, USA) from June to August 2021 and 2022. RMBL is located in the East River valley of the West Elk mountains, approximately 10 kilometers from Crested Butte, Colorado. Study site
Maternal survival costs in an asocial mammal: Data and analysis
Maternal characteristics, social dynamics, and environmental factors can all influence reproduction and survival as well as shape trade-offs that might arise between these components of fitness. Short-lived mammals like the golden-mantled ground squirrel (GMGS; Callospermophilus lateralis) tend to m
Temperature, floral density, and Osmia pollen usage data from seven study sites around the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, Colorado: 2013-2022.
Data were collected as part of a study of population dynamics of solitary, cavity-nesting Hymenoptera. Nesting structures ("trap-nests") were established at five study sites along an elevational gradient around the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in 2013. Two additional study sites were added i
Mammalian herbivores restrict the altitudinal range limits of three alpine grass species
Though rarely experimentally tested, biotic interactions have long been hypothesized to limit low-elevation range boundaries of species. We tested the effects of herbivory on three alpine-restricted plant species by transplanting plants below (novel), at the edge (limit), or in the center (core) of
