Survey of Reproducing Populations Containing Neotenic Morphs of the Salamander, <i>Ambystoma Tigrinum nebulosum</i>, in the Gunnison Basin of Colorado
Observing the effects of a nectar-inhabiting bacterium, Pantoea sp., and nectar robbing on male fitness in Ipomopsis aggregata
There is still much unknown about how microbes within flower nectars, specifically bacteria, impact pollinators. Hummingbirds use gustatory and visual cues to determine which flowers are most rewarding. The diversity in colonization of nectar-inhabiting microbes, such as bacteria, can alter the scen
Climate change disrupts local adaptation and favours upslope migration
Jill T. Anderson1,2* and Contemporary climate change is proceeding at an unprecedented rate. The question remains Susana M. Wadgymar3 whether populations adapted to historical conditions can persist under rapid environmental 1 change. We tested whether climate change will disrupt local adaptation an

Evaluating Critical Thermal Tolerances of Solitary Bees
Climate change is predicted to impact pollinators through both direct and indirect mechanisms: by altering physiological stress through warming temperatures and by changing species interactions through the altered phenology and abundance of food sources and competitors. While research has been done
Biotic and abiotic drivers of plant symbionts determine plant performance, the maintenance of diversity, and response to global change
Interactions among organisms regulate the structure and function of ecosystems and the response of ecosystems to global change. The outcome of species interactions is shaped by the partners involved in the interaction and the climate contexts of the systems in which they reside. Global change is alt
Density dependence and colony growth in the ant species <i>Formica neorufibarbis</i>
Frenemies: conflict and cooperation in burying beetle (<i>Nicrophorus investigator</i>) parental care
Conflict and cooperation can drive how unrelated individuals interact, while illustrating whether the interests of two individuals converge or diverge. The subsocial, biparental beetle Nicrophorus investigator provides an excellent model to study these two interactions because researchers can manipu
Factors that affect the repeatability of personality in yellow-bellied marmots, <i>Marmota flaviventris</i>
Animal personality is becoming increasingly relevant behavioral ecology because of its potential impact on reproductive success. Measuring personality however can be difficult because many factors, such as microhabitat variation and habituation, affect how an animal responds to a given test. Using n

Indirect effect of black bears on sunflowers in nitrogen-polluted and pristine steppe
Both antagonistic and mutualistic types of interactions between species occur in most ecosystems, and these different types of interactions can contribute to indirect effects between species, such as trophic cascades. These interactions can be altered by humans, and one major way this is occurring i
