Data from: Spatiotemporal fire dynamics in mixed-conifer and aspen forests in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado, USA
Mixed-severity fire regimes may be the most extensive yet poorly understood fire regimes of western North America. Understanding their long-term spatiotemporal dynamics is central to debates regarding altered fire regimes and the need for restoration in the context of changing climate and nearly a c
Experimental frost damage data for eight subalpine plant species
This file contains data on the frost damage of eight subalpine plant species from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado (USA). These frost damage data can be used to calculate frost sensitivity for each species. Frost damage of plant tissue was determined after specimen were exposed to experimental temper
Data from: Microgeographic patterns of genetic divergence and adaptation across environmental gradients in Boechera stricta (Brassicaceae)
Abiotic and biotic conditions often vary continuously across the landscape, imposing divergent selection on local populations. We used a provenance trial approach to examine microgeographic variation in local adaptation in Boechera stricta (Brassicaceae), a perennial forb native to the Rocky Mountai
21 MHC Class II DRB alleles from Microtus montanus
FASTA file of 21 MHC Class II Mimo-DRB alleles recovered from a wild population of montane vole (Microtus montanus). Samples were obtained between 2008-2010 near the Rocky Mountain biological Laboratory, located in the Upper East River Valley, CO (39N, 107W).
Data from: Duplication and population dynamics shape historic patterns of selection and genetic variation at the major histocompatibility complex in rodents
Genetic variation at the MHC is vitally important for wildlife populations to respond to pathogen threats. Because natural populations can fluctuate greatly in size, a key issue concerns how population cycles and bottlenecks that could reduce genetic diversity will influence MHC genes. Using 454 seq
Carpenter_Meadow_transect_2010
This file contains phenotypic and fitness data on naturally-recruiting Boechera stricta plants in 5 transects. Jill Anderson collected these data at the Carpenter Meadow site in 2010. The data file was created in Text Wrangler.

Size differences in <i>Baetis</i>
Emergence patterns of the subalpine dragonfly Somatochlora semicircularis (Odonata: Corduliidae)
Strategies of nesting in a high-altitude temperate hummingbird
Site development for Big Meadow Lake, Mineral County, Colorado

Variations in montane meadow flora (especially <i>Poa interior</i>) with moisture
Effect of altitude on <i>Frasera speciosa</i> populations
Color variance among flowers in a mountain meadow
Reproductive efforts of plants along an altitudinal gradient
Density, size and clutch of two high altitude diaptomid copepods
Population characteristics of two copepod species, Diaptomus shoshone Forbes and Diaptomus coloradensis Marsh, and both interspecific and intraspecific interactions are examined. Both species vary in size among years and among several high altitude ponds in Colorado. Larger individuals with larger c
