Functional importance of plumage badges as intraspecific signals in White-crowned sparrows (<i>Zonotrichia leucophrys oriantha</i>).
Status badges, such as bird plumage colors, are important parts of animal communication; they mediate intra- as well as intersexual interactions. Reliability of avian plumage badges is thought to be maintained by selective pressures, including social punishment. Costs, benefits, and resultant fitnes

Effects of climate change on growth and seedling establishment of young lodgepole pine
Anthropogenically induced climate change is expected to effect numerous climatic alterations pertinent to ecosystems, including increased mean global temperature and altered precipitation regimes. High-elevation ecosystems are especially sensitive to climatic changes because slight fluctuations in f
Red-naped Sapsucker nest tree selection and effects on the willow breeding bird community
The Red-naped sapsucker creates a nest cavity in aspen woodlands each year, required by other bird spp. for nesting, and spends much of its foraging time in willow wetlands. This study attempted to determine a) how does proximity of potential nest trees to forest edge and willows affect the sapsucke

Environmental and Genetic Effects of Elevation on Plant Defense
Plant communities are shaped by their interactions with biotic and abiotic factors in their environment, including herbivores. In response to pressures from herbivores, plants develop a variety of physical and chemical defenses to protect themselves. The investment that plants make in these defenses

Lateralized Function Without Lateralization
In many vertebrates, the right hemisphere/left visual field is used to process information about threats while the left hemisphere/right visual field is used to process information about conspecifics. This is referred to as hemispheric lateralization. But prey that are too predictable in their respo
