Assessing Plant Community Assembly Along an Elevational Gradient: A Functional Niche Hypervolume Approach
Niche-based processes, such as environmental filtering and niche differentiation, have been proposed to contribute to the assembly of ecological communities. While functional traits can be useful for testing hypotheses regarding niche-based community assembly, most studies utilizing functional trait
Rock glaciers in southwestern Colorado as indicators of late-Holocene climate change: A lichenometric study using Rhizocarpon subgenus Rizocarpon
Tricopter density under rocks in different velocities of the East River, Gothic, Colorado
Habitat diversity study of the ground beetles and bugs at Gothic, Colorado (Coleoptera and Hemiptera)
Plant community composition with respect to species richness along an altitudinal gradient in gunnison county, co
Does Floral Nectar Depth Correlate With Pollinator Proboscis Length?
Pollination is essential for maintaining global biodiversity and our world’s food supply. Climate change is causing inefficiencies in plant-pollinator networks, so understanding the factors that determine which pollinators visit which plants will be exceedingly important for a sustainable future. Ou
Tracking changes in montane butterfly populations through the lens of climate change
Age and sex variations in homing behavior of <i>Peromyscus maniculatus rufinus</i>
The effects of elevation on flower abundance and pollinator visits on Helianthella quinquenervis
Spatial-temporal variation in pollinator populations can have an impact in plant reproduction. This study assessed the effects of elevation on flower abundance, pollinator visitation, and types of pollinators visiting the Helianthella quinquenervis This flower species was chosen due to its vast abun
Reciprocal effects among the ant <i>Formica obscuripes</i> and the asters <i>Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus</i> and <i>Artemisia tridentata</i>
Variation in the structure and dynamics of bee assemblages across distinct montane meadows
Across different landscapes, plant abundance and richness change. Bee distributions may vary spatially in accordance to these differences in floral diversity. I used a habitat-based approach to investigate this hypothesis across three distinct meadow types: dry meadow, wet meadow-Veratrum and wet me
Study of a mounds-grassland on Black Mesa, Colorado
Aquatic invertebrate communities in old, new, and re-formed beaver ponds in the Trail Creek watershed
1. Beavers are ecosystem engineers. They alter the structure of their habitats when they cut woody vegetative material to create dams that result in ponds. Ponding slows water flow, resulting in fine sediment deposition. A wetland is created as the sediment continues to deposit. 2. The formation of
Investigating the potential mechanism behind bumble bee preference for Corydalis flowers inhabited by nectar specialist yeast
Flowering plants are in an evolutionary battle for the attention of pollinators to increase their fitness. However, microbes are increasingly recognized as key players in mediating interactions between plants and pollinators. Most studies of floral microbes have focused on the role of obligate necta
