The BLM has adopted a two-phase procedure for the integration of geological, energy and minerals (GEM) resources data for suitable/nonsuitable decisions for wilderness study areas (WSA's).

A variety of factors can influence an individual’s antipredator behavior including their group size because simply being around conspecifics may reduce predation risk. Recent work has shown that it is not just being around others, but rather the specific social relationships that individuals have wi

The first objective for this problem in lieu of thesis project was to gather, identify to the lowest practical taxonomic level and organize all available aquatic insects collected from high altitude Colorado aquatic systems during the summers of 1994, 1996, 1998, and 2002 for the University of North

Pseudomonas sp. strains 29A and 43A were originally isolated from the phyllosphere of individual plants of Cardamine cordifolia (Brassicaceae). Here, we report complete genome sequences for these two closely related strains, assembled using a hybrid approach combining Illumina paired-end reads and l

Seismic, well, field and gravity data are used to further understand the Uncompahgre fault near Nucla, Colorado, Paradox Basin, USA. The data help explain the complex sedimen- tary and structural history associated with faulting and salt flowage along the eastern margin of the Paradox Basin. Near Nu

Circadian rhythms of body temperature were evident during deep torpor in 11 of 12 individuals. The mean period was 23.94 hours. Circadian cycles of oxygen consumption were apparent in Jive of 14 marmots. Arousal tended to occur during the increase phase of the cycle. This report may be the Jirst to

Climate models forecast that headwater catchments in the western U.S. will undergo a reduction in snowpack, early season snowmelt, and increases in evapotranspiration. The resulting extended dry season will stress vegetation in mountainous watersheds throughout the Upper Colorado River Basin. We inv

The causes for preference-performance mismatches in a specialist native herbivore laying eggs on an invasive toxic plant are investigated, and genes related to successful detoxification and adaptive feeding were enriched in larvae feeding on native plants and toxic plants.

The Green River Formation in Piceance Creek basin is estimated to have the largest oil shale deposits in the world today, and it also provides a classic model for lacustrine source rock deposition.Based on study of facies associations, depositional trends, and basin-scale correlations, a sequence st

Abstract The afterword offers an additional discussion related to the initial debate posed by the new developments in Russian Gothic as a special kind of literary genre. This article reviews, contextualizes and traces connections between the essays on Russian Gothic in this edition by Jeffrey Brooks
