How does incorporating microclimate data into ecological niche models change our estimates of the climatic niche of vascular plant species?
Stridulation in <i>Nicrophorus investigator</i> as a Possible Means of Cooperation during Carcass Sequestration
Burying beetle stridulation has been observed and documented when caring for their young, as well as among agonistic beetles competing for carrion. Burying beetles in the genus Nicrophorus require a small carcass, typically 16-50 grams, in order to reproduce. Once located, the carcass is buried by t

Conditional Exploitation and Context-Dependent Fitness Consequences of Pollination Mutualisms
The aboveground primary productivity within each of four areas, differing in length of the snow-free season, was determined in a high subalpine (3380 m) herbaceous meadow in Colorado. Net productivity, minus losses to herbivores, ranged from 114 g -m™ - yr“ in the area with the shortest snow-free pe

Age effects on yellow-bellied marmot <i> (Marmota flaviventris)</i> maximum running speed
Age effects on maximum running speed (MRS) in yellow-bellied marmots (Marmota flaviventris) were examined to see whether this performance trait varied with age. Individuals were trapped in Tomahawk livetraps, then released and encouraged to run to burrows by yelling and chasing over varying distance

Impacts of brood parasites, floral abundance, and bee age on maternal investment in a solitary bee, <i> Osmia iridis </i>
Parents can adjust both the size and number of offspring they produce in order to maximize their own fitness payoff (Smith & Fretwell 1974). Optimal parental investment is dependent in part on likelihood of offspring survival, which is impacted by predation and parasitism. When risk of predation or
