Altered precipitation patterns associated with anthropogenic climate change are expected to have many effects on plants and insect pollinators, but it is unknown if effects on pollination are mediated by changes in water availability. We tested the hypothesis that impacts of climate on plant pollina

Many biotic interactions influence community structure, yet most distribution models for plants have focused on plant competition or used only abiotic variables to predict plant abundance. Furthermore, biotic interactions are commonly context-dependent across abiotic gradients. For example, plant-pl

The objective of this study is to understand how climate cues affect the abundance and phenology of aphids and the arthropods with which they interact. These data were collected in 20 populations of the host plant (Ligusticum porteri) along an elevation gradient near Gothic, CO, USA. We randomly-sel

Site 5GN2404, situated on a south-facing slope overlooking the Gunnison River Valley, was examined as part of work on the Blue Mesa-Skito Transmission Line. This large scatter of flaked lithic and ground stone artifacts also includes several thermal pits (Barb Lockwood, personal communication, Augus

The Chance Gulch site, 5GN817, is an 8000 year old camp located about 2.5 miles southeast of the town of Gunnison, Colorado. The site is situated within the sagebrush community, though pine and aspen trees are within view. Nine stratigraphic samples were analyzed to determine paleovegetation and pal

Six bulk soil samples and seventeen detrital charcoal samples from sites TRCR1, TRCR2, TRCR4, TRCR5, and TRCR6 along Taylor River in Gunnison County, central Colorado, were analyzed to recover organic remains suitable for radiocarbon age determination. Samples were collected from Holocene terraces a

Data come from fourteen sites in the West Elk Mountains of Colorado, USA. The study aimed to identify the factors regulating phenology of plants and cavity-nesting insects, and to determine the likelihood of asynchrony between flowering and pollinator emergence under climate change. Numbers of flowe

This dataset involves analysis of sediment samples collected in the East River watershed and Rifle floodplain sites, CO. Samples were collected and analyzed as part of two student MS theses at Colorado School of Mines (Kenwell and Prugue) over a time period ranging from 2012 to 2015. Analyses includ

This data package contains simulation results of daily evapotranspiration for 17 locations of meteorological stations with different precipitation, air temperature and vegetation within the East River Watershed, Colorado (CLMResult.csv). Daily precipitation data is included for reference. These are

The data package consolidates water year 2016 stream, rain, snow and groundwater data used by Carroll et al. (2018) for end-member mixing analysis to isolate seasonal stream source within the East River, CO. Stream concentration and daily discharge are provided for the 11 sub-basins of the East Rive

Heat was used as a tracer to quantify seasonal changes in vertical Darcy velocity through the streambed at three different locations about Meander A of East River, Colorado. The file Raw_Temp.csv represents raw temperature data (in degrees Celsius) collected from the three locations, A, B, and C, at

Status of the Colorado River population of the endangered Colorado squawfish Ptychocheilus lucius (recently renamed the Colorado pikeminnow) was investigated by (1) estimating adult numbers, (2) evaluating frequency of reproduction and recruitment, (3) identifying trends via changes in size structur

AbstractDissolved‐solids data collected in the Upper Colorado River Basin upstream from Cameo, Colorado, and in the Gunnison River Basin were analyzed for trends in flow‐adjusted dissolved‐solids concentrations and loads for water years 1970 to 1993, 1980 to 1993, and 1986 to 1993. Trend results for

The data suggest that selection pressures determining body size at metamorphosis may operate independently on males and females, resulting in evolution of sexual size dimorphism, protandry, and mating early in the adult stage.
