The growth rate of <i>Veratrum californica</i>
Testing Nutrient Limitation Status Along a Subalpine Pond Hydroperiod Gradient
Investigating the air temperatures of different taxa in an alpine plant community
1. Ecology, like most science, is a rapidly progressing field in which new technologies are constantly being implemented in order to gain a wider and more holistic perspective on plant dynamics. 2. Plants can modulate their temperature via the process of transpiration and shading, which can also lea
Behavioral notes on a single beaver family
Take only pictures, leave only… Cameras influence marmot vigilance but not perceptions of risk
Ecotourism promotes conservation efforts while also allowing for low impact observation of
Energy Fluxes of Terrestrial and Aquatic Invertebrates in the East River
Climate change is increasing temperatures globally including aquatic habitats like rivers, directly affecting the biology of many invertebrate species. In freshwater ecosystems, snow melt drives rivers in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Increasing river temperatures can result in increasing metabol
Dispersion of offspring in <i>Spermophilus lateralis</i>
Bio-fluorescence in Cannibalism Interactions in MCNP Ambystoma mavortium nebulosum Population
Many animals bio-fluoresce. Various amphibians have recently been identified as bio-
Variation of Pollen Mass Across Species, Habitat Types, and Time
Bumble bees are crucial pollinators in both agricultural and wild ecosystems, and as pollinators they rely almost exclusively on floral resources as a source of food. However, in many natural and agricultural areas there has been a decrease in floral diversity and abundance, which in turn has caused
Development of Keras image classification model for use with a study on the effects of recreational trail use on small mammal species richness and activity
The recreational trails near the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL) are an important resource for the community. They generate tourist income for the surrounding area. However, human activity can lead to behavioral and ecological changes in wildlife communities. Utilizing triggered camera t
Characterizing nectar content in wet and dry subalpine meadows during an extreme summer drought
Pollinating bees visit flowers in order to forage for nectar and pollen, their major sources of nutrition. The plant communities that a bee interacts with vary across time and space, as different flower species dominate different habitats. One key driver of the spatial variation in plant communities
Are Hylemya avoiding dusted <i>Ipomopsis aggregata</i> for good reason?
Waser et al. (2016) found that road dust consistently reduces the pollen received by Ipomopsis aggregata flowers but does not consistently reduce seed set. Over three years we tested the hypothesis that the reason undusted plants do not have higher seed sets is that more of their fruits are eaten by
Intraspecific flower color variation along elevation gradients

Effect of Keystone Mine runoff on vegetation
Effects of nectar robbing on the volatile organic compounds and nectar chemistry of intraindividual flowers in <i> Corydalis caseana </i> ssp. <i> brandegeei </i>
Plants are able to change volatile organic compounds in response to herbivory, and these chemicals can communicate with other parts of the same plant and with other plants. Nectar robbers like Bombus mixtus introduce a new microbial community to a flower’s nectar that is different from the one intro
Does the seedbank reflect the composition of the metacommunity for alpine plants?
Community ecology and dynamics are often only thought of in terms of the processes selection and speciation. Likewise, plants are often only considered in their immobile, germinated form. However, when it comes to plant community dynamics, seeds and the seedbank are often critical in predicting comm
