Cross-Section Geometry and Sediment-Size Distribution Data from Muddy Creek and North Fork Gunnison River below Paonia Reservoir, western Colorado, 2017
This data set contains cross-section geometry and sediment-size distribution data collected in the fall of 2017 from Muddy Creek and North Fork Gunnison River below Paonia Reservoir, western Colorado. Six cross-sections were surveyed using Real-Time Kinematic Global Navigation Satellite System (RTK-
Data from: Evolutionary radiations of Proteaceae are triggered by the interaction between traits and climates in open habitats
Aim: Ecologically driven diversification can create spectacular diversity in both species numbers and form. However, the prediction that the match between intrinsic (e.g. functional trait) and extrinsic (e.g. climatic niche) variables may lead to evolutionary radiation has not been critically tested
Data from: How persistent are the impacts of logging roads on Central African forest vegetation?
1. Logging roads can trigger tropical forest degradation by reducing the integrity of the ecosystem and providing access for encroachment. Therefore, road-management is crucial in reconciling selective logging and biodiversity conservation. Most logging roads are abandoned after timber harvesting, h
Data from: Growth and carbon relations of mature Picea abies trees under 5 years of free-air CO2 enrichment
Are mature forests carbon limited? To explore this question, we exposed ca. 110-year-old, 40-m tall Picea abies trees to a 550-ppm CO2 concentration in a mixed lowland forest in NW Switzerland. The site receives substantial soluble nitrogen (N) via atmospheric deposition, and thus, trees are unlikel
Discovery of sexual reproduction in an unusual new species of Stachylina (Trichomycetes)
Pollination biology in the Snowy Mountains of Australia, with comparisons with montane Colorado, USA
AbstractVarious aspects of the pollination biology of the alpine flora of Kosciusko National Park, NSW, were examined from late December 1983 until the end of March 1984, including flowering phenology, corolla tube lengths, flower colour, ultraviolet reflectance patterns, visitation rates to the flo
Male body size and mating success in swarms of the mayfly <i>Epeorus longimanus</i>
Spatial and temporal patterns of floral inconstancy in plants and populations of Ipomopsis aggregata (Polemoniaceae)
To determine whether floral part numbers (merism) vary over time within inflorescences, we scored merism of the petals, sepals, stamens, and carpels of all flowers on the same 10 plants of Ipomopsis aggregata in three Colorado populations weekly through most of the 1984 flowering season. At least on
Red-naped sapsuckers feeding at willows: possible keystone herbivores
Herbivory by leaf miners in response to experimental shading of a native crucifer
Adaptation at specific loci. V. Metabolically adjacent enzyme loci may have very distinct experiences of selective pressures
Abstract The polymorphic phosphoglucomutase (PGM) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) loci have been studied in parallel to experimental work on the phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) polymorphism in Colias butterflies. PGI, PGM and G6PD are also autosomal in Colias. PGM and G6PD are loosely li
Rates of nectar feeding in butterflies: effects of sex, size, age, and sugar concentration
Rates of ingestion of sucrose varied with sucrose concentration and butterfly sex, age and size for Speyeria mormonia Edwards (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae). Peak rates of ingestion occurred between sucrose concentrations of 30% and 40%, as predicted by previous theory. Males fed at a faster rate than d
Spatial segregation of the sexes of dioecious plants
Several recent studies have shown that males and females in some populations of dioecious plants are spatially segregated with respect to an environmental gradient. The inference is often made that such spatial segregation of the sexes (SSS) is favored by selection because it reduces competition bet
Habitat selection and colony survival of Microsiphum valeriana Clarke (Homoptera: Aphidae)
Some thoughts on the identification of Gunnison's Red-backed Hawk (Buteo polyosoma) and why it's not a natural vagrant
Prey preference in stoneflies: a comparative analysis of prey vulnerability
Values increased with increasing size of the predator, and inclusion of the C/A term indicated that predators would obtain greater reward from small relative to large prey, and from dipterans relative to mayflies.
