An Equation of State Unifies Diversity, Productivity, Abundance and Biomass (data sets)
Macroecological data sets, their state variables, and various calculated metabolic quantities for tests of the Maximum Entropy Theory of Ecology. These data sets are used with all relevant permissions, as detailed in the main publication. The raw data files are: data_statevariables_only.txt - This f
Supplementary material from "Current and lagged climate affects phenology across diverse taxonomic groups"
The timing of life events (phenology) can be influenced by climate. Studies from around the world tell us that climate cues and species' responses can vary greatly. If variation in climate effects on phenology is strong within a single ecosystem, climate change could lead to ecological disruption, b
Data for “Herbivory damage but not plant disease under experimental warming is dependent on weather for three subalpine grass species”, Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, Gothic, Colorado, 2015-2017.
Both theory and prior studies predict that climate warming should increase attack rates by herbivores and pathogens on plants. However, past work has often assumed that variation in abiotic conditions other than temperature (e.g., precipitation) do not alter warming responses of plant damage by natu
Data used in Wainwright, H.M. et al. 2021, “Watershed zonation through hillslope clustering for tractably quantifying above- and belowground watershed heterogeneity and functions”
This data package contains spatial data layers and processing scripts used in Wainwright, H.M. et al. 2021, “Watershed zonation approach for tractably quantifying above-and- belowground watershed heterogeneity and functions”. The purpose of the data and paper is to develop a watershed zonation appro

Experimental examination of early snowmelt-induced water stress in Helianthella quinquenervis: effects on demographic vital rates
The flush early and avoid the rush hypothesis holds after accounting for spontaneous behavior
When approached by a predator, prey make economic decisions between remaining where they are and obtaining benefits from their current activity or leaving and enhancing their safety. The "flush early and avoid the rush" hypothesis suggests that animals that flee to escape approaching threats flee so
Flies and flowers II: Floral attractants and rewards
This paper comprises Part II of a review of flower visitation and pollination by Diptera (myiophily or myophily). While Part I examined taxonomic diversity of anthophilous flies, here we consider the rewards and attractants used by flowers to procure visits by flies, and their importance in the live
Coyotes, deer, and wildflowers: diverse evidence points to a trophic cascade
Judging from two palatable wildflower species whose seed crop and seedling recruitment were greatly reduced near the field station, the coyote–deer–wildflower trophic cascade has the potential to influence plant community composition.
Bringing the male side of plant sex into focus
When the editor-in-chief solicited historical perspective pieces based on old articles from The American Naturalist, the choice became easy because it let me focus on two 1970s articles that transformed the field I work in, realigned my own thinking, and showed me the direction of the next 30 years
Pollen allelopathy: Taraxacum officinale pollen depresses seed set of montane wildflowers
Revisiting Darwin's hypothesis: Does greater intraspecific variability increase species' ecological breadth?
• Premise of the study: Darwin first proposed that species with larger ecological breadth have greater phenotypic variation. We tested this hypothesis by comparing intraspecific variation in specific leaf area (SLA) to species’ local elevational range and by assessing how external (abiotic) filters
The Origin of Invasive Microorganisms Matters for Science, Policy, and Management: The Case of <i>Didymosphenia geminata</i>
Nectar Yeasts in the Tall Larkspur <i>Delphinium barbeyi</i> (Ranunculaceae) and Effects on Components of Pollinator Foraging Behavior
Microorganisms frequently colonize the nectar of angiosperm species. Though capable of altering a suite of traits important for pollinator attraction, few studies exist that test the degree to which they mediate pollinator foraging behavior. The objective of our study was to fill this gap by assessi
Responses of high-altitude graminoids and fungal fungi to 20 years of experimental warming
Yeasts in nectar enhance male fitness in a montane perennial herb
Floral nectar of many plant species is prone to colonization by microbial organisms such as yeasts. Their presence and metabolism of nectar chemical components have the potential to modify a suite of floral traits important for pollinator attraction, including nectar quality and scent. However, stud
