Integral projection models from natural populations
This folder contains the data file and R scripts necessary to model population growth rates (lambda) of a natural population, based on data from five transects from 2010-2012. Please contact Jill Anderson (jta24@uga.edu) with questions.
Data from: Optimal multisensory integration
Animals are often confronted with potentially informative stimuli from a variety of sensory modalities. While there is a large proximate literature demonstrating multisensory integration, no general framework explains why animals integrate. We developed and tested a quantitative model that explains
Data from: Early snowmelt projected to cause population decline in a subalpine plant
How climate change influences the dynamics of plant populations is not well understood, as few plant studies have measured responses of vital rates to climatic variables and modeled the impact on population growth. I used 25 years of demographic data to analyze how survival, growth, and fecundity re
Data from: Climate change shifts natural selection and the adaptive potential of the perennial forb Boechera stricta in the Rocky Mountains
Heritable genetic variation is necessary for populations to evolve in response to anthropogenic climate change. However, antagonistic genetic correlations among traits may constrain the rate of adaptation, even if substantial genetic variation exists. We examine potential genetic responses to select
Effects of floral traits, pollinator visitation, and plant size on Ipomopsis aggregata fruit production
Current understanding of reproduction for animal-pollinated plant species is based on the premise that traits of flowers and inflorescences influence reproductive success by affecting pollinator behavior. This implies that within-population variation in such traits should affect reproductive success

Pollen discounting in Erythronium grandiflorum: mass-action estimates from pollen transfer dynamics
Pollen discounting, a reduction in success as an outcross pollen parent as a result of selfing, can reduce or eliminate the reproductive advantage commonly attributed to selfing. Previous estimates of pollen discounting have been based on segregation analysis of progeny from open-pollinated plants.

Categorization of food types enhances foraging performance of bumble bees
Time-dependent averaging of foraging information in least chipmunks and golden-mantled ground squirrels
Behavioural adaptations to resource variability were examined in field experiments with least chipmunks, Tamias minimus, and golden-mantled ground squirrels and were predicted by a dynamic patch assessment model that weights patch information according to its reliability.
Non-visual communication in freshwater benthos: an overview
This overview of non-visual communication in freshwater benthic animals emphasizes recent studies of the effect of chemical and mechanical signals on predator-prey interactions of benthic macroinvertebrates and amphibians. Prey species use chemical signals to modify their morphological development,

The Gothic earthflow revisited: a chronosequence examination of colonization on a subalpine earthflow
A chronosequence study of permanent plots spanning 45 years on a 70-year-old subalpine earthflow in south-western Colorado suggests that it is the severe microclimate of the earthflow which is limiting further colonization of the site.
Diel feeding and positioning periodicity of a grazing mayfly in a trout stream and a fishless stream
We studied the feeding and positioning periodicity on natural substrates of the overwintering and fast-growing summer generations of a grazing mayfly, Baetis bicaudatus, in a third-order trout stream and a fishless, first-order tributary in western Colorado. At 4-h intervals over 24-h, we recorded t
