Effects of soil moisture on <i>Lupinus spp</i> growth and root nodulation
Climate change and anti-herbivory resistance communication in <i>Artemisia tridentata</i>
It has been suggested that anthropogenic climate change may greatly influence plant communities, particularly at high elevations. We asked whether climate change and/or elevation gradient influence volatile intra-plant communication for purposes of anti- herbivory resistance and whether air contact
(308) The Mesa County Colorado Irrigation Audit Program
Seven and one-half square miles, or 4864 acres, of the Grand Valley in Western Colorado consists of high water-using landscapes. Overirrigation of Grand Valley soils flushes 580,000 tons of salt into the Colorado River each year. These salts negatively impact plant and animal health throughout the C
Community assembly and food web interactions across pond permanence gradients
Changing distributions, changing climate: Using <i>Bombus</i> as an indicator of global warming near Crested Butte, Colorado
As well-studied, annual species inhabiting an environment with a short growing season, the bumble bees (Bombus spp.) in the area around the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL) near Crested Butte, Colorado, provide an ideal system for monitoring climate change. In 1974, Graham Pyke conducted
Ouzel-watch: the behavior of dippers
Predicting the effects of climate change on the cross? scale epidemiological dynamics of a fungal plant pathogen
Effects of a range-shifting caddisfly on life histories of a top predator in high elevation ponds
Climate change is creating the opportunity for various species to undertake range expansion, both geographically and elevationally. There has been relatively little research into the ecological effects of these climate-driven range expansions on predators, particularly when the new species to a comm
Intraspecific trait variation affects community distributions of alpine meadow plant communities
Differences between individuals are often not accounted for in studies using plant functional trait data. Variation due to biotic and abiotic conditions is common for many plant traits that are crucial for fitness and survival. However, functional trait methods usually do not account for differences

Recognizing the contribution art has had in the Mayo Clinic environment since the original Mayo Clinic Building was finished in 1914, Mayo Clinic Proceedings features some of the numerous works of art displayed throughout the buildings and grounds on Mayo Clinic campuses.

The effect of sampling effort on species richness estimates of flower visitors
Estimates of species richness, while useful and common to many subdisciplines of biology, are problematic in their reliance on adequate sampling effort. How much sampling is required for an accurate estimate of species richness, and what levels of sampling will render communities comparable? This st

Activity of American pikas, <i></i>Ochotona princeps<i></i> with respect to temperature along an elevational gradient
Assessing Two Plant Leaf Functional Traits across a Temperature Gradient
In this study we attempted to discover some of the possible plant responses to global climate change, to assess plant responses we used two plant leaf functional traits: leaf maximum assimilation rate of CO2 (Amax) and Specific Leaf Area (SLA). To evaluate increasing temperature we used a natural el
