Interpretable ensemble learning unveils main aerosol optical properties in predicting cloud condensation nuclei number concentration
Beryl-molybdenite deposit, Chaffee County, Colorado
Chronic, low-level nitrogen deposition enhances abundances of ant-protected herbivores inhabiting an imperiled foundation species
Abstract Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition is driving changes in plant assemblages worldwide, but animal responses are not well understood, especially in relation to current widespread rates of low-level N deposition. Big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) is a foundation species in steppe ecosystem
The primary structure of the hemoglobin chain of the arctic ground squirrel
Comparison of arctic ground squirrel hemoglobin α-chain with the amino-terminal 25 residues of the marmot shows one amino acid difference at position 13, which is similar to that of other rodent α-chains.
Observations on the emergence and habits of adults of Agnetina capitata and Acroneuria carolinensis (Plecoptera: Perlidae)
Is the Recent Drought on the Colorado River the New Normal?
Understanding Historical Changes in the Flow of the Colorado River; Boulder, Colorado, 24–25 September 2018
Colorado river back from the dead
Multi-decadal and multi-centennial variability in Colorado River streamflow
A 1240-year-long record of reconstructed annual flows of the Colorado River at Lees Ferry is analysed using singular spectrum analysis and multi-taper method of spectral analysis. Spectral analysis of the 100-year-long recent record of annual flows of Colorado River in the measured and reconstructed
Evaluating 3 decades of precipitation in the Upper Colorado River basin from a high-resolution regional climate model
Abstract. Convection-permitting regional climate models (RCMs) have recently become tractable for applications at multi-decadal timescales. These types of models have tremendous utility for water resource studies, but better characterization of precipitation biases is needed, particularly for water-
A new Eocene cockroach species from the Green River Formation of Colorado, U.S.A.
COOPERATIVE RIVERFRONT PLANNING: THE COLORADO RIVER, GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO
Abstract The Colorado River, the largest river system in the western United States stretches from the headwaters in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado to Mexico. This mighty river evokes strong feelings and images to many people. Rich in history, it offers a haven for outdoor enthusiasts as we
Contractional Tectonics: Investigations of Ongoing Construction of the Himalaya Fold-thrust Belt and the Trishear Model of Fault-propagation Folding
This dissertation focuses on the kinematic evolution of contractional tectonics: the Himalayan fold-thrust belt along the collisional orogenic belts, and growth of the basement-cored monoclines in Colorado Plateau. Ongoing Himalayan growth is generally thought to be dominated by duplexing and/or ext
Nonconsumptive effects of Brook Trout predators reduce secondary production of mayfly prey
The nonconsumptive effects of predators on prey include behavioral, physiological, and life-history changes that reduce the risk of predation but have associated energetic or fitness costs to prey individuals and populations. Biologists have documented such changes for a wide array of predator–prey
Does pollination interact with the abiotic environment to affect plant reproduction?
Although we found some evidence for the effect of a biotic interaction depending on abiotic conditions, it was only for one aspect of reproduction in one species, and it was in an unexpected direction. Our work highlights interactions between the abiotic and biotic components of the environment as a
Topographic Map Analysis of the North Platte River-South Platte River Drainage Divide Area, Western Larimer County, Colorado, USA Eric Clausen
The United States Supreme Court settled legal disputes concerning four different Larimer County (Colorado) locations where water is moved by gravity across the high elevation North Platte-South Platte River drainage divide, which begins as a triple drainage divide with the Colorado River at Thunder
Consequences of nuisance algal blooms of Didymosphenia geminata on invertebrate communities in Rocky Mountain streams
As climate change accelerates, low summer stream flows are becoming increasingly common in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, USA. The diatom Didymosphenia geminata (Lyngb.) M. Schmidt, typically observed under low-flow and low-P conditions, produces nuisance growth—persistent and extensive proliferation
Mountainous floodplain connectivity in response to hydrological transitions
Abstract In mountainous watersheds, floodplain sediments are typically characterized by gravel bed layers capped by an overlying soil unit that serves as a hotspot for biogeochemical reactivity. However, the influence of soil biogeochemistry on gravel bed underflow composition remains unclear, espec
Yampa River-Colorado River Drainage Divide Origin Determined from Topographic Map Evidence, Southern Routt County, Colorado, USA
Detailed topographic map evidence and a new Cenozoic geologic and glacial history paradigm are used to determine the previously unexplained Yampa River-Colorado River drainage divide origin. The Yampa River now flows in a north direction away from the Colorado River (between the Park Range to the ea
Effect of elevation, season and accelerated snowmelt on biogeochemical processes during isolated conifer needle litter decomposition
Increased drought and temperatures associated with climate change have implications for ecosystem stress with risk for enhanced carbon release in sensitive biomes. Litter decomposition is a key component of biogeochemical cycling in terrestrial ecosystems, but questions remain regarding the local re
Helminth Parasites of the Prairie Rattlesnake, Crotalus viridis Rafinesque, 1818, in Weld County, Colorado
The prairie rattlesnake, Crotalus viridis Rafinesque, 1818, is available in large numbers in Weld Co., Colorado, and since virtually no information was available on parasitism of C. viridis, additional studies were made.
