This data set consists of results from soil nutrient profile, untargeted metabolomics, mass spec imaging, and amplicon sequencing. Data for soil nutrient profile includes common cations (Ca, Mg, Na, and K etc.) extracted from 3 digesting steps – ammonia acetate (for exchangeable cations), nitric aci

This data release documents seismic data collected immediately adjacent to beaver ponds and in their surrounding floodplain environments using active and passive seismic measurements at three sites. These sites are located in the University of Connecticut (UConn) Forest in Storrs, Connecticut; Fento

A regression-based analysis quantifies how basin characteristics modulate the snow-to-streamflow signal. First, we use the ERA5-Land reanalysis gridded product (European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts reanalysis 5 -Land component) for 4,655 hydrologic unit code - 10 (HUC10) mountain basin

This dataset includes data collected from the race sailing vessel HOLCIM during the Vendée Globe 2024 race. A flow-through membrane pCO2 sensor is integrated with the SubCTech Ocean pack. The vessel sailed around the world, from and back to Les Sables D'Olonnes (France), sampling in the Atlantic Oce

This paper will focus on Syrphidae, an understudied but potentially impactful pollinator. Specifically, I will investigate how the density of the pile (hair) affects the amount of pollen grains carried. This research has the potential to significantly contribute to the field of entomology, as it add

​ Watershed degradation in the Western United States is a continuing issue under climate change. The headwaters to the Colorado River in the Rocky Mountains are experiencing dryness, altered chemistry, and flashiness due to climate change. Management practices involving artificial beaver dams (BDAs)

Subalpine ecosystems are home to hundreds of species of wildflowers, many of which are endemic and very vulnerable to climate change. Megachilidae are a family of primarily solitary bees that are very efficient pollinators, making them crucial components of subalpine ecosystems. Some Megachilidae sp

Competition for ephemeral resources like carrion is intense among necrophagous insects, particularly burying beetles (Nicrophorus spp.), where reproductive success is limited by access to carcasses. Burial and post-burial maintenance behaviors are hypothesized to reduce carcass detection by competit

Salamanders have been used in a variety of different experiments to determine the health of various ecosystems. Biofluorescence was recently studied in amphibians in a study done in 2020. Not much is known about all its functions, more studies are needed to fully understand how it works and how it c

Ethanol is a natural byproduct of yeast fermentation of plant sugars. In flowering plants, yeasts often form mutualistic relationships by inhabiting nectar, where they benefit from access to sugar and confer antimicrobial protection through the production of ethanol. Ethanol in nectar not only shape

The Arizona Tiger Salamander (Ambystoma mavortium nebulosa) is a keystone species in the Rocky Mountains. Depending on how well they grow as larvae, these salamanders can either metamorphose to have terrestrial traits at maturity or retain their juvenile aquatic traits as adults. We expect that pond

Climate change is currently shifting the ranges of plant species, and while climate-based variables trigger migration, sessile plants may reach an expansion limit due to variations in the characteristics of local soils. To better understand the effects of soil on plant performance, we paired 13 year

Social relationships have important fitness consequences in many taxa. Much of the prior literature on the adaptive value of social relationships has looked for associations between social network position, or social structure, and fitness correlates during a single period of time–often a year. Howe

Mountain White-crowned Sparrows and Wilson’s Warblers rely on foraging microhabitats in montane wet meadows during the breeding season to find food for themselves and their offspring. The microhabitats are comprised of vegetation, which can be food itself, but it can also be a substrate for inverteb

Aquatic insects play many critical ecological roles in their environments. Anthropogenic changes in these environments, particularly those already under stress, leave the insect community more prone to stochastic disturbances. Despite widespread efforts by conservationists, many projects fail to inc

Utility-Scale Energy Storage Will Enable a Renewable Grid A roadblock to sustainable energy solutions is coming unstuck By Andrea Thompson on July 1, 2019 Credit: Vanessa Branchi The Away D V E the R T I Sworld E M E N Tgets its electricity is undergoing a rapid transition, driven by both the increa

The Gunnison City Planning Commission has finished reviewing the environmental assessment study recently completed by the Department of Energy. The D.O.E. seems to be biased in much of the report toward using the Highway 50 route because of the possible endangerment to the mating habitat of the sage
