Optimizing Field-linked simulations of dry season uptake and monsoon infiltration within an aspen-mixed conifer forest
Climate models forecast that headwater catchments in the western U.S. will undergo a reduction in snowpack, early season snowmelt, and increases in evapotranspiration. The resulting extended dry season will stress vegetation in mountainous watersheds throughout the Upper Colorado River Basin. We inv
Differences in gene expression and genetic variation underlying preference-performance mismatches: insights from a specialized native herbivore on an invasive toxic plant
The causes for preference-performance mismatches in a specialist native herbivore laying eggs on an invasive toxic plant are investigated, and genes related to successful detoxification and adaptive feeding were enriched in larvae feeding on native plants and toxic plants.

Spatial and Temporal Variation in Phylogenetic Diversity in Rocky Mountain Plant Communities
Phylogenetic diversity is an axis of biodiversity that captures the variation in evolutionary relationships present in a community, and is associated with important ecosystem functions. Interestingly, recent work has shown that phylogenetic diversity is often decoupled from other biodiversity metric

Assessing anthropogenic effects on golden-mantled ground squirrel and least chipmunk flight initiation distances
Species who commonly occupy territories within human settlements are exposed to frequent human disturbance, which has been linked to significant shifts in wildlife behavior in past studies. As urbanization and rural development continue to increase, we can anticipate cohabitation between humans and
Modeling spatial distribution of snow water equivalent using transfer learning across mountainous basins
Abstract Accurately estimating snow water equivalent (SWE) is crucial for understanding the impacts of climate change, urbanization, and population growth on water resources. High operational costs of lidar observations limit the frequency and coverage of SWE estimates at high spatial resolutions, l
