Rolston review of Preston, The Synthetic Age
Preston has a new worldview, convinced "that humans have utterly transformed the earth" and have a "startling synthetic future." But he should have been more forceful about Anthropocene abuses of power. Further, his ... -
Insects of Western North America 11. Bioluminescent behavior of North American firefly larvae (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) with a discussion of function and evolution
Observations were made on the ecology, natural history, and glowing behavior of five North American species of firefly larvae, two Pyractomena LeConte, two Photuris LeConte, and one Photinus Laporte. These observations ... -
Lepidoptera of North America 12. Butterflies - 2018 inventories in nine Boulder County open spaces
This was the fifteenth year butterflies were inventoried on nine select properties within Boulder County Parks and Open Space (BCPOS) lands. The trend for all butterfly species was determined for all surveyed Open Spaces ... -
Effects of groundwater pumping for irrigation on stream properties of the Arikaree River on the Colorado plains
The Arikaree River lies in the Republican River Basin on the Northern High Plains of Colorado. This study was conducted on the portion of the Arikaree River that flows through the lower portion of Yuma County, Colorado. A ... -
Effect of irrigation practices on stream depletion in the Arikaree River, eastern Colorado
Irrigated agriculture is of paramount importance to the economy and livelihoods of those living in much of Eastern Colorado. Here, wells feeding center pivot systems draw groundwater from the High Plains Aquifer, and are ... -
Physiological responses of grapevines to environmental stresses
The field response of several grapevine (Vitis vinifera L) cultivars, grown at the Orchard Mesa Research Center, to methanol application on foliage and trunks was investigated. Sublethal methanol doses were determined as ... -
Vertical sorting within dune structure
Vertical sorting of sediment mixtures within dune structures was measured experimentally by conducting three types of experiments: running water experiments, still water experiments, and air experiments. Five different ... -
Influence of diet, habitat, and recreational shooting of prairie dogs on burrowing owl demography, The
The burrowing owl is a ground-nesting raptor that is in decline across much of its geographic range. Habitat loss and widespread control of fossorial rodents on which burrowing owls regionally rely for nest sites are the ... -
Resistance components and velocity distributions of open channel flows over bedforms
The components of flow resistance and the velocity distributions of open-channel flows over bedforms were investigated by conducting idealized bedform experiments in a laboratory flume. Experiments involving uniform smooth, ... -
Model output associated with "Sensitivity of Convective Self-Aggregation to Domain Size"
A 3D cloud-resolving model has been used to investigate the domain-size-dependence of simulations of convective self-aggregation (CSA) in radiative--convective equilibrium. We investigate how large a domain is needed to ... -
Simulated cattle shipment networks from the U.S. Animal Movement Model
Networks are rarely completely observed and prediction of unobserved edges is an important problem, especially in disease spread modeling where networks are used to represent the pattern of contacts. We focus on a partially ... -
Socio-cultural assessment of ecosystem services for community planning and sustainability, A
Ecosystem service (ES) mapping is a useful mechanism for measuring and communicating ES values spatially; however, most ES mapping is conducted at coarse resolutions over large spatial scales, which calls into question ... -
Changes in taxonomic and functional diversity of aquatic macroinvertebrates along a gradient of stream size and flow stability in the northeastern Colorado Rocky Mountains
While the pattern of aquatic macroinvertebrate communities along stream size gradients have been examined in past studies, it is usually in the context of the river continuum, moving along a stream network from the headwaters ... -
Conifer regeneration and fuels treatment longevity in dry mixed-conifer forests of the Colorado Front Range
Throughout much of the western United States, wildfires have been increasing in size and severity. To prevent negative impacts to communities and ecosystems, costly fuels reduction treatments are being applied to dry, ... -
Grazing for grassland birds : assessing how management and environmental conditions affect abundance in Colorado's shortgrass steppe
Rangelands are temporally and spatially complex socio-ecological systems on which the predominant land use is livestock production. In North America, rangelands also contain approximately 80% of remaining habitat for ... -
Lessons in establishing plant communities on constructed fens for oil sands mine reclamation
The third-largest proven oil deposit in the world is in Alberta, underlying 142,000 square kilometers of Canada’s boreal covered by forested uplands and peatland basins. The vast deposit is in the form of oil sands that ... -
Trail log - 2018
Trip to Richmond, Va. Pocahontas State Park and Mary Washington University, April; flora in Rocky Mountain National Park, June; First Presbyterian Church (Fort Collins) Camp, lectures and creation care conservation, with ... -
Disciple of because and other stories, The
These six stories explore common notions of polite behavior, particularly social expectations in the Midwest. Here, women (and one man) of various ages feel pigeonholed into a set of anticipated actions that feel, ultimately, ... -
Factors influencing the effectiveness of a family intervention for adolescent versus adult mothers
A family intervention program entitled DARE To Be You was found to be equally effective for both adolescent and adult mothers, but the factors that predicted program effectiveness differed for the two groups. Adolescent ...
