Seasonal changes in an alpine soil bacterial community in the colorado rocky mountains.

The period when the snowpack melts in late spring is a dynamic time for alpine ecosystems. The large winter microbial community begins to turn over rapidly, releasing nutrients to plants. Past studies have shown that the soil microbial community in alpine dry meadows of the Colorado Rocky Mountains changes in biomass, function, broad-level structure, and fungal diversity between winter and earl...

Melting Alpine Glaciers in the Rocky Mountains: Impacts on Ecosystems, Agriculture, and Economics

Prevalence of antibodies to canine parvovirus and distemper virus in wolves in the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

Wild carnivores are often exposed to diseases via contact with peridomestic host species that travel through the wildland-urban interfaces. To determine the antibody prevalences and relationships to human activity for two common canid pathogens, we sampled 99 wolves (Canis lupus) from 2000 to 2008 for antibodies to canine parvovirus (CPV) and canine distemper virus (CDV) in Banff and Jasper Nat...

Topographic Associations of Lynx in the Southern Canadian Rocky Mountains: A Study

Snowshoe hares are considered the primary prey of Canada lynx throughout their range. Relative to northern populations, hares occurring in mountainous regions at southern latitudes are thought to remain at low and stable densities through time. Hence, the ecology of associated southern lynx populations is expected to resemble that of northern populations during the low phase of the hare populat...
