Radon Isotopes and Stable Water Isotopes from Coal Creek Watershed, Colorado (2021)
The radon isotope and stable water isotope data for Coal Creek Watershed, Colorado, consists of d2H, d18O, and 222Rn values from samples collected at 8 stream location along Coal Creek, samples from 7 groundwater springs within the watershed, and precipitation isotope samples collected by Next Gener
Snowpack Persistence Day of Year Standard Deviation (1993-2022)
This dataset represents an estimate of interannual variability in the day of year (i.e., "Julian Day") of the persistence of the seasonal snowpack. Specifically these are estimates of the first day of bare ground derived from long-term time-series of Landsat, and OLI imagery starting in 1993. These
Snowpack Persistence Day of Year Mean (1993 - 2022)
This dataset represents an estimate of the mean day of year (i.e., "Julian Day") of the persistence of the seasonal snowpack from 1993 - 2022. Specifically these are estimates of the first day of bare ground derived from long-term time-series of Landsat, and OLI imagery starting in 1993. These maps
Snowpack Onset Day of Year Standard Deviation (1993-2022)
This dataset represents an estimate of interannual variability in the day of year (i.e., "Julian Day") of the onset of the seasonal snowpack. Specifically these are estimates of the last day of bare ground derived from long-term time-series of Landsat, and OLI imagery starting in 1993. To facilitate
Consistently inconsistent drivers of patterns of microbial diversity and abundance at macroecological scales
AbstractMacroecology seeks to understand broad‐scale patterns in the diversity and abundance of organisms, but macroecologists typically study aboveground macroorganisms. Belowground organisms regulate numerous ecosystem functions, yet we lack understanding of what drives their diversity. Here, we e
Metabolic Partitioning across Individuals in Ecological Communities
AbstractThe mechanistic origin and shape of body‐size distributions within communities are of considerable interest in ecology. A recently proposed light‐limitation model provides a good fit to the distribution of tree sizes in a tropical forest plot. The maximum entropy theory of ecology (METE) als
Shifts in water availability mediate plant–pollinator interactions
SummaryAltered precipitation patterns associated with anthropogenic climate change are expected to have many effects on plants and insect pollinators, but it is unknown if effects on pollination are mediated by changes in water availability. We tested the hypothesis that impacts of climate on plant–
Direct benefits and indirect costs of warm temperatures for high-elevation populations of a solitary bee
AbstractWarm temperatures are required for insect flight. Consequently, warming could benefit many high‐latitude and high‐altitude insects by increasing opportunities for foraging or oviposition. However, warming can also alter species interactions, including interactions with natural enemies, makin
Impact of intra-meander hyporheic flow on nitrogen cycling
Redox gradients within hyporheic zones significantly impact the biogeochemical cycling of carbon and nitrogen. To investigate the effect of these redox gradients on nitrogen transformation in the subsurface, we integrated a genome-informed complex reaction network into PFLOTRAN, which is an open sou
Confounding effects of spatial variation on shifts in phenology
Shifts in the timing of life history events have become an important source of information about how organisms are responding to climate change. Phenological data have generally been treated as purely temporal, with scant attention to the inherent spatial aspects of such data. However, phenological

Is Plant Fitness Proportional to Seed Set? An Experiment and a Spatial Model
Individual differences in fecundity often serve as proxies for differences in overall fitness, especially when it is difficult to track the fate of an individual's offspring to reproductive maturity. Using fecundity may be biased, however, if density-dependent interactions between siblings affect su
Experimental species removals impact the architecture of pollination networks
Mutualistic networks are key for the creation and maintenance of biodiversity, yet are threatened by global environmental change. Most simulation models assume that network structure remains static after species losses, despite theoretical and empirical reasons to expect dynamic responses. We assess
The behavioral ecology of nectar robbing: why be tactic constant?
It is documented that even though individuals can switch foraging tactics, they often do not, and hypotheses of floral constancy are extended to understand when and why visitors exhibit tactic constancy and raise questions for future research.
Blooms of benthic diatoms in phosphorus-poor streams
During the past 50 years, freshwater ecologists have mostly attributed massive accumulations of algal biomass in lakes and rivers to high nutrient inputs. While researching the role that phosphorus (P) plays in increasing diatom biomass in rocky-bottomed rivers, I (MLB) was puzzled by the presence o
