<i>Didymosphenia geminata</i> blooms are not exclusively driven by low phosphorus under experimental conditions
Using Apatite (U-Th)/He Thermochronology to Determine Exhumation Rates and the Topographical History of the Elk Mountains Ph.D
Low temperature AHe thermochronology shows that Gothic Mountain, at the center of a bull's-
Facilitated exploitation of pollination mutualisms: fitness consequences for plants
Effects of Daily Temperature Changes on Broad-Tailed Hummingbird Foraging Patterns
Climate change threatens the close relationship between wildflowers and the hummingbirds that pollinate them, both through gradual warming that shifts and misaligns their phenologies, and also potentially through increasingly erratic day-to-day temperature changes, a phenomenon especially apparent a

Tracing phenology trends in time and space using herbarium data and citizen science observations in western Colorado
Color preference of Speyeria mormonia
Social transmission of a novel foraging trait in yellow-bellied marmots
Social transmission of novel behaviors can be an adaptive technique to rapidly and flexibly change responses to the surrounding environment. Although the dynamics of social transmission have been studied in highly social birds, primates, otters, and bats, we lack a solid understanding of the dynamic
Feeding Preference and Growth Effects for Three Trichoptera Species
Detritivores diets are very limited in key nutrients such as phosphorus, nitrogen, and fatty acids. This study looked at how detritivores caddisflies selected food based on nutrient quality. We set up controlled experiments to examine food preference and how that might affect overall growth. Our stu
Plant-Pollinator Interactions and Environmental Change: Effects of Experimental Changes in Phenology and Water Availability on a Montane Wildflower
Potential impact of climate change on the phenology and reproduction of <i>Delphinium nuttallianum</i> (Ranunculaceae)
Pollen shortcomings
Electrophoretic study of chipmunk blood near Gothic, Colorado
Effects of Microclimate Variation on Diversity of Plants and Pollinators
High alpine ecosystems have heterogeneous topography that provides microclimatic niches for species to inhibit. Due to climate change, alpine ecosystems are experiencing shifts in snowpack amount, snowmelt timing, and growing season lengths resulting in phenological and abundance responses within ec
The impact of </Didymosphenia geminata> on the community structures of invertebrates in streams around the Rocky Mountain Biological Lab
The long-term relationships between animal and plant species and their relationships to their abiotic environment are closely tied to climate change. Stream macroinvertebrates are excellent indicators of freshwater conditions and respond measurably to environmental changes. Previous studies have obs
The Thermal History of Mount Lamborn in Colorado’s West Elk Mountains using Apatite (U-Th)/He Thermochronology
Mount Lamborn, a granodiorite laccolith in the West Elk Mountains, provides a useful
