An Analysis of Forest Fire History on the Little Firehole River Watershed, Yellowstone National Park

A 14,000-Yr Fire History From the Mixed Conifer Forest of Southern Yellowstone National Park

The Influence of Fire Interval and Serotiny on Postfire Lodgepole Pine Density in Yellowstone National Park

The time interval between stand-replacing fires can influence patterns of initial postfire succession if the abundance of postfire propagules varies with prefire stand age. We examined the effect of fire interval on initial postfire lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelm.) density in Yellowstone National Park (YNP) following the 1988 fires. We asked whether postfire propagule abun...

Microbiology in Yellowstone National Park.

Yellowstone National Park plays host to numerous microbiological research projects — officially 23, according to the 1996 Investigators' Annual Reports. However, once categories such as aquatic ecology, the study of brucellosis and other wildlife diseases, environmental education, geochemistry and geothermal systems, and vegetation are included, the total came to at least 35 in 1996. Research p...

Aquificales in Yellowstone National Park

Aquificales are metabolically versatile chemolithoautotrophic thermophilic bacteria. This group is widespread in both deep-sea and terrestrial hydrothermal systems. In Yellowstone National Park, they were first described in early descriptions of the biology of the park, and later captured the attention of many microbiologists including Brock, Stahl, Pace, and others. There are four genera curre...

The mosquitoes of Yellowstone National Park (Diptera:Culicidae).

Twenty-nine species belonging to 4 genera of mosquitoes are reported for Yellowstone National Park. W.Y. (USA). Phenology, local distribution, and ecology of each species are addressed along with taxonomic notes on certain species. Merinithid (nematode) parasitism of some of the park's Aedes species is also discussed.
