Elevation difference (snow depth estimate for exposed ground surfaces) between co-registered WorldView-3 optical stereo DSM products from 2016-09-25 (snow-off) and 2017-02-01 (snow-on). These are preliminary products from the Stereo2SWE workflow, used to derive snow depth estimates from time series

Many pathogens infect multiple hosts, and spillover from domestic to wild species poses a significant risk for spread of diseases that threaten wildlife and humans. Documentation of cross-species transmission, and unravelling the mechanisms that drive it, remains a challenge. Focusing on co-occurrin

Geologic mapping, characterization of geologic structures, and sampling for geochronology was completed in two areas of the northwestern Sangre de Cristo Mountains from 2011 through 2017. This data release provides the raw analytical data, metadata and sample information for 20 zircon U-Pb age analy

Experiments were conducted to determine whether overlap between microhabitat preferences and activity periodicities of four mayfly species and their stonefly predators could explain species-specific differences in predator-prey encounter frequencies. Preferences for rock type (slate or granite), flo

Field experiments and surveys were canied out in a Rocky Mountain alpine stream during the summers of 1990 and 1992 to estimate the proportion of nat

We used overhead infrared radiators to add a constant increment of °15 W/m2, over 2 yr, to the downward heat flux on five 30‐m2 montane meadow plots in Gunnison County, Colorado, USA. Heating advanced snowmelt by °1 wk, increased summer soil temperatures by up to 3°C, and reduced summer soil moistur

In experimentally heated plots that each span a soil moisture gradient in a Rocky Mountain meadow, aboveground biomass of Artemisia tridentata (a sagebrush) increased in the drier habitat and that of Pentaphylloides floribunda (a shrub cinquefoil) increased in the wetter habitat relative to control

Larvae of 17 Lycaenidae butterfly species from Europe, North America, South East Asia and Australia were observed to retain at least some of their adaptations related to myrmecophily even after parasitic braconid larvae have emerged from them. The myrmecophilous glandular organs and vibratory muscle

The genetic relationships of colony members in the ant Myrmica tahoensis were determined on the basis of highly polymorphic microsatellite DNA loci. These analyses show that colonies fall into one of two classes. In roughly half of the sampled colonies, workers and female offspring appear to be full

It is found that, after over 100 years, these disturbed plant communities remained distinct from similar surrounding undisturbed areas, suggesting that biotic factors structure vegetation communities even hundreds of years following disturbance.

In plants whose flowers develop in a sequence, different flowers may exhibit temporal variation in pollen donation and receipt such that the fitness contributions through male and female functions can vary among flowers. Dichogamy, or directional pollinator movements within inflorescences, can creat
