Water Level Data from Wells PLM1 and PLM6 for the East River Watershed, Colorado
This dataset (Williams et al., 2020) contains the original un-QA/QC-ed water level data for PLM1 and PLM6 and has been obsoleted. The data contained within this dataset is not to be used. Refer to Faybishenko et al., 2022 (DOI: 10.15485/1866836) for the latest QA/QC-ed data available via ESS-DIVE.Th
Dissolved Oxygen and Temperature Data from the Hyporheic Zone of the East River Watershed July 2017 to October 2018
Dissolved oxygen (DO) is critical for aquatic ecosystems. Our focus is on the long-term DO dynamics in hyporheic zone of rivers, which are a function of both transport (hydrologic exchange between river and hyporheic zone) and uptake by biogeochemical reactions or respiration. The study site is the
Total metals, carbon, nitrogen & anion concentration data; Slate River & East River floodplains, Crested Butte, CO; May 2022-October 2022
This data package includes processed and undiluted measurements for metal, total carbon, total nitrogen, and anion concentrations from pore water (groundwater) and surface water samples from the Slate River and East River floodplains of Crested Butte, CO, focus field sites for the SLAC Floodplain Hy
Community-level flowering & fitness data across an elevational gradient, Rocky Mountain Biological Lab, 2021-2022
We collected data at three sites in Washington Gulch near the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL, Gothic, Colorado, USA) from June to August 2021 and 2022. RMBL is located in the East River valley of the West Elk mountains, approximately 10 kilometers from Crested Butte, Colorado. Study site
Interannual bumble bee abundance is driven by indirect climate effects on floral resource phenology
Jane E. Ogilvie,1,2* Climate change can influence consumer populations both directly, by affecting survival and repro- Sean R. Griffin,1,3 duction, and indirectly, by altering resources. However, little is known about the relative impor- Zachariah J. Gezon,1,4,5 tance of direct and indirect effects,
Plant-pollinator interactions under climate change: the use of spatial and temporal transplants
Climate change is affecting both the timing of life history events and the spatial distributions of many species, including plants and pollinators. Shifts in phenology and range affect not only individual plant and pollinator species but also interactions among them, with possible negative consequen
Interactions between bee foraging and floral resource phenology shape bee populations and communities
The interactions between floral resource phenology, bee foraging behaviour, and traits such as diet breadth, sociality, and body size are discussed and greater use of information contained in museum collections on bee phenologies and floral hosts is encouraged.
Distribution of native and nonnative ancestry in red foxes along an elevational gradient in central Colorado
The red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) indigenous to the mountains of the western United States are high-elevation specialists that could face range reduction due to climatic warming, as well as potential encroachment, loss of adaptive alleles, and displacement by introduced nonnative red foxes. We investiga
Modeling the population dynamics and community impacts of <i>Ambystoma tigrinum</i>: A case study of phenotype plasticity
Elevation alters ecosystem properties across temperate treelines globally
Evaluated treeline ecotones in seven temperate regions of the world find that declining temperatures with increasing elevation did not affect tree leaf nutrient concentrations, but did reduce ground-layer community-weighted plant nitrogen, leading to the strong stoichiometric convergence of ground-
Genetic basis of between-individual and within-individual variance of docility
AbstractBetween‐individual variation in phenotypes within a population is the basis of evolution. However, evolutionary and behavioural ecologists have mainly focused on estimating between‐individual variance in mean trait and neglected variation in within‐individual variance, or predictability of a
Can individual variation in phenotypic plasticity enhance population viability?
It is found that compensatory growth plays an important role in decreasing the probability of extinction under both less favorable colder and random climate scenarios and the importance of trade-offs in population dynamics.
Social security: are socially connected individuals less vigilant?
Group size effects, whereby animals allocate less time to antipredator vigilance as a function of increasing group sizes are widely reported in many taxa, but group size is but one of many social attributes that could increase a individual’s sense of security. Indeed, meta-analyses suggest that grou
Young inversion with multiple linked QTLs under selection in a hybrid zone
AbstractFixed chromosomal inversions can reduce gene flow and promote speciation in two ways: by suppressing recombination and by carrying locally favoured alleles at multiple loci. However, it is unknown whether favoured mutations slowly accumulate on older inversions or if young inversions spread
Biogeography of plant-associated fungal symbionts in mountain ecosystems: A meta-analysis
AbstractAimPredicting the potential for climate change to disrupt host–microbe symbioses requires basic knowledge of the biogeography of these consortia. In plants, fungal symbionts can ameliorate the abiotic stressors that accompany climate warming and thus could influence plants under a changing c
Detrending phenological time series improves climate-phenology analyses and reveals evidence of plasticity
AbstractTime series have played a critical role in documenting how phenology responds to climate change. However, regressing phenological responses against climatic predictors involves the risk of finding potentially spurious climate–phenology relationships simply because both variables also change
