Phylogeny does not predict the outcome of heterospecific pollen–pistil interactions in a species-rich alpine plant community
Our results show that even in communities where HPT is common, pre-zygotic post-pollination mechanisms do not provide strong barriers to interspecific fertilization. HPT can result in the loss of ovules even between highly diverged plant species.
Extending the social cohesion hypothesis: is group social structure associated with dispersal in yellow-bellied marmots (Marmota flaviventer)?
Dispersal is an important individual decision which may influence individual fitness as well as population viability. The social cohesion hypothesis posits more social individuals remain at home, which is supported by prior work across taxa. However, how the sociality and connectivity of the group a
Shepherding Compact Security Water in the Upper Colorado River Basin
Differences in gut microbes across age and sex linked to metabolism and microbial stability in a wild hibernating mammal
The gut microbiome has a well-documented relationship with host fitness, physiology, and behavior. However, most of what is known comes from captive animals where diets and environments are more homogeneous or controlled. Studies in wild populations that experience dynamic environments and have natu

Changing the Law-Science Paradigm for Colorado River Restoration
Reactivation of a Cretaceous Thrust Surface by Basin-and-Range Extension, Southwestern Gunnison Plateau, Central Utah
Recent work in central Utah has outlined the broader features of the area's thrust geometry. Although individual interpretations differ, most models indicate the region is similar to better understood segments of the Cordilleran thrust belt. Poor and limited seismic data and the paucity of drill-hol
Species Composition and Hybridization among Native and Nonnative Catostomid Fishes in Two Streams of the Gunnison River Basin, Colorado
We report results from a 3-year field investigation to limit hybridization between native and nonnative suckers in 2 small tributaries of the Gunnison River basin, Delta County, Colorado. Upstream movement to spawning habitat was selectively impeded by picket weir in intermittent Cottonwood Creek. T

Community College Students in the Field: A review of a Community Conversation on Successful Programs and Strategies
To explore how field experiences can be designed to engage more community college students, the Undergraduate Field Experience Research Network (UFERN) held a "community conversation" (Community Colleges in the Field: Successful Programs and Strategies) on 15 October 2021. The hour-long virtual meet
Material culture, social networks, and the Chinese of Ouray, Colorado, 1880-1920
This study examines a sample of artifacts recovered from the Vanoli Site (5OR30) encompassing a privy and trash midden located directly behind an historic Chinese laundry. Previous research in Overseas Chinese archaeology has focused on historically large Chinese communities and processes of accultu

Contrasting depth dependencies of plant root presence and mass across biomes underscore prolific root-regolith interactions
Snow Depth Distribution Patterns and Consistency from Airborne Lidar Time Series
Snow provides fresh meltwater to over a billion people worldwide. Snow dominated watersheds drive western US water supply and are increasingly important as demand depletes reservoir and groundwater recharge capabilities. This motivates our inter- and intra-annual investigation of snow distribution p
The core of the Black Canyon Computer Corporation
The author discusses his experiences with the GEC computer department, starting with the M236, a high speed 36-bit minicomputer. He discusses the GE 600 lineage, the GE 600/645 and paging, tape transport problems, and the end of the department.
