This dataset includes characterization data collected on sediment samples from Meander C as part of the Watershed Function Scientific Focus Area (SFA) located in the Upper Colorado River Basin. The data were collected to investigate the nature of mineral-organic associations across the meander trans

The data package contains model input files and executables for the East River, Colorado (750 km2) located in the headwaters of the Upper Colorado River Basin. The code applied is the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Groundwater and Surface Water Flow (GSFLOW) model. A Readme.txt file provides instruct

Our goal was to understand how range shifts in detrivorous larval caddisflies could affect nutrient storage along a pond permanence gradient in the Mexican Cut Preserve (Gunnison County, Colorado). As part of a larger project quantifying other ecological impacts and interactions arising from the cad

The Rocky Mountains are one of the world’s most diverse areas in all of Western United States. Like most wonders of the world, the Rocky Mountains are also subjected to unpaved roads, and these roads often produce fine particulates of dirt that are able to rise into the air with ease. In this study,

Male songbirds sing on the edge of their territory to warn away competing males. The mountain white-crowned sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys oriantha) prefers to sing on the edge of willows and spruce trees. High quality territory is determined by the availability of food, water and shelter. Meanwhil

Didymosphenia geminata cells, when secreting excessive exopolysaccharide stalks, can coalesce and form blooms that affect their local community. It is unknown what causes D. geminata cells to produce stalk, as not all D. geminata cells do produce stalk. Natural growth patterns and the potential for

Mutualistic interactions between flowering plants and bees are a pairwise interaction, but exist in a network of similar interactions (Bronstein, 2001). The outcomes of these interactions differ, for example, the costs and benefits for flowering plants caused by floral visitors (Bronstein, 2001). Lu

This study utilizes apatite (U-Th)/He, or AHe, to produce a vertical transect of cooling histories along the height of the partially exhumed Crystal Pluton in the Elk Mountains of west/central Colorado. These cooling histories are interpreted to reflect exhumation controlled by the incision of the C

1. Compensatory growth is well-studied and exhibited across a variety of taxa, including plants, invertebrates, and a variety of vertebrates. Compensatory mechanisms allow individuals to recover from adverse conditions, potentially enhancing survival and fitness. However, to compensate for a low bod

Niche-based processes, such as environmental filtering and niche differentiation, have been proposed to contribute to the assembly of ecological communities. While functional traits can be useful for testing hypotheses regarding niche-based community assembly, most studies utilizing functional trait

Thlaspi arvense, a non-native plant in the Brassicaceae family, was first introduced to the Gunnison valley of Colorado in the 1800s (Chew 1975). Long-term studies done at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory suggest the presence of T. arvense has negative impacts on the fitness of native Pieris

Nectar robbing is a process used by various insects to retrieve nectar from flowers that would otherwise be inaccessible. The community-level consequences of nectar robbing have not been widely studied, and the differences between primary and secondary robbing have been studied even less. Fitness co

In order to understand the ecological and evolutionary significance of plant-pollinator mutualisms, it is critical to first comprehend the fluctuating and complex nature of plant- pollinator interactions. Specifically, it is important to realize how these interactions respond to changes in factors s

Battery Storage in the United States: An Update on Market Trends Release date: July 15, 2020 Large-scale battery storage systems are increasingly being used across the power grid in the United States. In 2010, 7 battery storage systems accounted for only 59 megawatts (MW) of power capacity, the maxi
