The ecology of pollination and nectar robbing in Linaria vulgaris in the Colorado Rocky Mountains
Cheaters affect most mutualisms, but their effects remain misunderstood. This thesis
Parental investment in burying beetles (<i>Nicrophorus investigator</i>): influence of seasonal timing and prior experience and efficacy of minimally guided instructional strategies in K-12 and undergraduate science classrooms: a meta-analysis
My research investigates parental investment into offspring during reproduction in an invertebrate species that exhibits a unique combination of two life history traits, iteroparity (multiple reproductive bouts) and extended biparental care. I present a brief
Factors influencing host plant range in two lycaenid butterflies
Metapopulation dynamics of yellow-bellied marmots
Precambrian geology of the northern Sangre De Cristo Range, Chaffee, Fremont, and Saguache counties, Colorado
Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks, Paleozoic sedimentary rocks, and Tertiary igneous and sedimentary rocks crop out in the northern Sangre de Cristo Range. Miocene (?) age normal faults, Late Cretaceous or Early Tertiary thrust faults, and Paleozoic (?) reverse faults have displaced Precambr

The organic geochemistry and water-rock system across a contact metamorphic profile in the Mancos shale near Crested Butte, Colorado
A Mid-Tertiary igneous intrusion into the Upper Cretaceous Mancos Shale provides an excellent natural laboratory to study the thermal effects of an intrusion on the organic geochemistry and water-rock system across a contact metamorphic profile. The intrusion, is believed to have established a high
Forest carbon cycling along an elevation gradient: the influence of species and climate
Bee foraging in space and time: linking individual behaviour to pollination
Analysis of temporal change in high-elevation plant community composition, East River Basin, Colorado, USA.
Vascular Flora of the Powderhorn & La Garita Wilderness Areas and Adjacent Lands
In the northeast San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado lie the Powderhorn and La Garita Wilderness Areas, full of high peaks and alpine plateaus bordered by volcanic hoodoos, vast forests, and arid steppe. A floristic inventory was performed to describe and catalog the vascular plant diversity of
