Hybridization between taxa generates new pools of genetic variation that can lead to different environmental responses and demographic trajectories over time than seen in parental lineages. The potential for hybrids to have novel environmental tolerances may be increasingly important in mountainous

GC skew is a measure of the strand asymmetry in the distribution of guanines and cytosines.GC skew favors R-loops, a type of three stranded nucleic acid structures that form upon annealing of an RNA strand to one strand of DNA, creating a persistent RNA:DNA hybrid.Previous studies show that GC skew

Lava flows southwest of Glenwood Springs, Colorado, have been broken by numerous faults with a few tens to several hundreds of feet of perpendicular separation. Flexural slip in steeply upturned Upper Cretaceous and Tertiary strata beneath the lava flows is believed to be responsible for this faulti

Abstract A new species of homolid crab, Zygastrocarcinus tricki sp. nov., is reported from the Late Cretaceous (middle Campanian, Baculites scotti Zone) of the Pierre Shale Formation (Baculite Mesa, Pueblo County, Colorado). This nearly complete homolid, hereto described is the sixth species assigne

Women, Crime and Justice is an expansive teaching tool, focused on the position of women in the criminal justice system, as victims, offenders, and professional agents working within it. In addition, Gunnison, Bernat and Goodstein consider how the law impacts upon distinctly gendered issues, with wo

Abstract. A declining spring snowpack is expected to have widespread effects on montane and subalpine forests in western North America and across the globe. The way that tree water demands respond to this change will have important impacts on forest health and downstream water subsidies. Here, we pr

We report results from a 3-year field investigation to limit hybridization between native and nonnative suckers in 2 small tributaries of the Gunnison River basin, Delta County, Colorado. Upstream movement to spawning habitat was selectively impeded by picket weir in intermittent Cottonwood Creek. T

Abstract. In the western US and similar topographic regions across the world, precipitation in the mountains is crucial to local and downstream freshwater supplies. Atmospheric aerosols can impact clouds and precipitation by acting as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice-nucleating particles (INP
