This dataset represents geolocation data associated with field observations and sampling from the Colorado Headwaters Ecological Spectroscopy Study (CHESS) during June and July of 2025. Location data were collected using Trimble DA2 Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers with Trimble Ca

Humans manage microbes in their built environments by lowering humidity, filtering outside air, and applying antimicrobials that together fosters the selective dominance of microorganisms that can tolerate these harsh conditions and selects for antimicrobial resistance. Other species, however, regul

There is still much unknown about how microbes within flower nectars, specifically bacteria, impact pollinators. Hummingbirds use gustatory and visual cues to determine which flowers are most rewarding. The diversity in colonization of nectar-inhabiting microbes, such as bacteria, can alter the scen

Biofluorescence, the emission of visible light by organisms following the absorption of shorter wavelengths of light, has been identified recently in various amphibians but remains poorly understood in salamanders. This study investigates the potential relationship between biofluorescence and sexual

The caddisfly L. externus has been observed to have a decline in population density over the summer months as the larvae develop. However this pattern has not been formally tested, so collecting population density data is important for future research and understanding changes in densities over time

Plant-pollinator networks shape the populations of flowering plants across the world. Ecosystems face increasing challenges that decrease floral density and threaten to restructure plant-pollinator networks. The responses of these networks will play a critical role in the fates of plant species, bec

Understanding plant reproductive strategies is important for interpreting population dynamics and species resilience. We investigated the mating system, pollen limitation, and pollinator interactions of Geum triflorum (prairie smoke), a subalpine wildflower. Experiments took place at the Rokcky Moun

Beaver Dam Analogues (BDAs) are human-made structures mimicking beaver dams and are implemented in restoration projects to slow flow, aggrade sediment, and reconnect streams to floodplains or create wetland conditions. Despite the recent popularity of this technique, very little monitoring occurs at

The summer is a peak tourism season in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, but is also the breeding season for many montane bird species, resulting in an increase in bird-human interactions and coexistence. I measured the effect that human activity has on the flight initiation behavior of two montane bird

Plant-pathogen interactions act as a selective pressure on both parties involved. Changes in their environment can cause these relationships to shift in favor of either party. Subalpine ecosystems are experiencing increased drought, early snowmelt, and advancing phenology as a result of climate chan

Hummingbirds are known to select which floral resource to utilize based on visual and olfactory cues. The role that microbes play in mediating the mutualism between hummingbirds and flowers is mostly unexplored in the field of microbial and pollination ecology. Bee pollinators are known to be deterr

Pathogens can have strong negative effects on individual fitness that scale up to influence population dynamics. Because of this, understanding the ecological contexts that shape pathogen transmission and prevalence is critical for understanding community dynamics and ecosystem function. Puccinia mo

Molybdenum, the metallic element which is the object of AMAX Inc. exploration activities at Mt. Emmons in Gunnison County, Colo., was discovered in 1778 by Carl Wilhelm Scheele, a Swedish scientist who earlier had been the first man to isolate oxygen, fluorine and chlorine. Its name was derived from
