The historical role of fire in sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) landscapes remains poorly understood, yet is important to inform management and conservation of obligate species such as the threatened Gunnison Sage-grouse (GUSG; Centrocercus minimus).

Variation in species’ responses to abiotic phenological cues under climate change may cause changes in temporal overlap among interacting taxa, with potential demographic consequences. Here, we examine associations between the abiotic environment and plant–pollinator phenological synchrony using a l

• Premise of the study: Climate change threatens to alter the timing and magnitude of abiotic cues that synchronize mast flowering, such as temperature and precipitation. Climate change may therefore alter the frequency of masting, in turn affecting species in the community that use pulsed resources

• Premise of the study: Plants are flowering earlier in response to climate change. However, substantial interannual variation in phenology may make it difficult to discern and compare long‐term trends. In addition to providing insight on data requirements for discerning such trends, phenological sh

Many alpine and subalpine plant species exhibit phenological advancements in association with earlier snowmelt. While the phenology of some plant species does not advance beyond a threshold snowmelt date, the prevalence of such threshold phenological responses within plant communities is largely unk

A theory of macroecology based on the maximum information entropy (MaxEnt) inference procedure predicts that the log-log slope of the species-area relationship (SAR) at any spatial scale is a specified function of the ratio of abundance, N(A), to species richness, S(A), at that scale. The theory thu

We investigated the impacts of an unpaved road on the distribution, reproduction, and stress physiology of Mountain White-crowned Sparrows (Zonotrichia leucophrys oriantha) in a high-elevation subalpine ecosystem. We found and monitored 152 sparrow nests over 3 years and captured 123 sparrows over 2

It is suggested that nectar with low alkaloid concentrations may be beneficial to plant fitness by limiting adverse effects on pollinator activity and optimal defense theory.

Levels of hybridization between related species can vary in response to evolutionary history or local environmental conditions, such as pollinators and abiotic factors, that affect reproductive isolation. Contact sites between the herbs Ipomopsis aggregata and Ipomopsis tenuituba vary in habitat typ

It is found that plant traits had little effect on damage and pollination, but damage andpollination affected plant traits in both the treatment year and the subsequent year, and evidence of indirect effects between leaf herbivores and pollinators in both directions has not been previously demonstra
