THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON THE TIMING AND ABUNDANCE OF DIPTERA IN A SUBALPINE MEADOW
Diptera play a critical role in alpine and subalpine ecosytems, though they are little studied in terms of what guides their timing and abundance. In order to reveal what cues dipteran timing this study was conducted for 24 years, using a Malaise trap to capture the insects, dipteran distributions w

The Impact of Environmental Factors on Arizona Tiger Salamander Larval Growth
Amphibians have been hit particularly hard by the recent era of biodiversity loss (Collins 2009). Understanding the factors that influence their growth and development can help us understand their global decline as well as the dynamics of populations in widely different habitats. Growth rates have b

Limnephilus externus Case Grazing
The subalpine region of Colorado hosts a variety of aquatic habitats. The organisms that inhabit these ecosystems are presented with many ecological adversities and differing predator guilds. Limnephilus externus caddisfly larvae native to montane and subalpine ponds of the Elk Mountains of Colorado
