Recent Upper Colorado River Streamflow Declines Driven by Loss of Spring Precipitation
The dataset accompanying the manuscript titled "Recent Upper Colorado River Streamflow Declines Driven by Loss of Spring Precipitation" provides comprehensive information on streamflow patterns in the Colorado River since 2000. The dataset is needed to run the analysis available on GitHub available
Decomposing an elevational gradient in predation by insectivorous birds
Insectivorous birds have ecologically important effects on prey abundance, behavior, and evolution, and through top-down control birds indirectly reduce herbivory and promote plant growth. While several studies sought to characterize biogeographic patterns in top-down control by birds, variation in
Upper Colorado River Basin: Monitoring sites and water chemistry data used to develop a specific conductance - salinity proxy model
Salinity levels in streams and tributaries of the Colorado River Basin have been a major concern for years. Recently, the United States Geological Survey’s (USGS) Next Generation Water Observing System (NGWOS) program expanded stream monitoring networks including the number of sites where continuous
Argon ages near Parker, AZ, and Needles, CA
Reported here are argon age data for samples collected to better understand lower Colorado River corridor landscape evolution, the history of the Colorado River, and define the age of geologic units being mapped. Samples of basalts, ashes, and sand were collected in the Cactus Plain southeast of Par
More social female yellow-bellied marmots, <i>Marmota flaviventer</i>, have enhanced summer survival
Resource availability alters fitness trade-offs: implications for evolution in stressful environments
PremiseIndustrialization and human activities have elevated temperatures and caused novel precipitation patterns, altering soil moisture and nutrient availability. Predicting evolutionary responses to climate change requires information on the agents of selection that drive local adaptation and infl
Automated Cloud Based Long Short-Term Memory Neural Network Based SWE Prediction
Snow derived water is a critical component of a large part of the US water supply. Measurements of the Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) and associated predictions of peak SWE and snowmelt onset are essential inputs for water management efforts. This paper aims to develop a data-driven approach for estima
Competition for nectar resources does not affect bee foraging tactic constancy
1. Competition alters animal foraging, including promoting the use of alternative resources. It may also impact how animals feed when they are able to handle the same food with more than one tactic. Competition likely impacts both consumers and their resources through its effects on food handling, b
Bumble bees are constant to nectar-robbing behaviour despite low switching costs
Individuals sometimes exhibit striking constancy to a single behaviour even when they are capable of short-term behavioural flexibility. Constancy enables animals to avoid costs such as memory constraints, but can also inflict significant opportunity costs through behaviour–environment mismatch. It
Accelerated snowmelt protocol to simulate climate change induced impacts on snowpack dependent ecosystems
Field studies that simulate the effects of climate change are important for a predictive understanding of ecosystem responses to a changing environment. Among many concerns, regional warming can result in advanced timing of spring snowmelt in snowpack dependent ecosystems, which could lead to longer
A comparison of lodgepole and spruce needle chemistry impacts on terrestrial biogeochemical processes during isolated decomposition
This study investigates the isolated decomposition of spruce and lodgepole conifer needles to enhance our understanding of how needle litter impacts near-surface terrestrial biogeochemical processes. Harvested needles were exported to a subalpine meadow to enable a discrete analysis of the decomposi
Older mothers produce more successful daughters.
Annual reproductive success and senescence patterns vary substantially among individuals in the wild. However, it is still seldom considered that senescence may not only affect an individual but also affect age-specific reproductive success in its offspring, generating transgenerational reproductive
Nonconsumptive effects of Brook Trout predators reduce secondary production of mayfly prey
The nonconsumptive effects of predators on prey include behavioral, physiological, and life-history changes that reduce the risk of predation but have associated energetic or fitness costs to prey individuals and populations. Biologists have documented such changes for a wide array of predator–prey
TRY plant trait database - enhanced coverage and open access
Plant traits-the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants-determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus
The East River Community Observatory Data Collection: Diverse, multiscale data from a mountainous watershed in the East River, Colorado
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) East River community observatory (ER) in the Upper Colorado River Basin was established in 2015 as a representative mountainous, snow-dominated watershed to study hydrobiogeochemical responses to hydrological perturbations in headwater systems. Led by the Waters
Support early-career field researchers
Pandemic-induced restrictions on research are now ubiquitous. We urge administrators and policy-makers to recognize that field researchers—especially those early in their careers—face unique challenges, even if restrictions last only a month or two. Bans on travel, hiring, and facility use are forci
