Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
- A CU Boulder-led study of sunflowers shows that their genes relate to the abundance of bacteria associated with resistance against one of the pathogens that causes white mold.
- Landscape corridors can aid in fire ant spread, but the effects are transient, CU Boulder researcher Julian Resasco shows.
- Surprisingly, subspecies with different growth forms can be within a few feet of one another.
- By rubbing a spear head against stone to form or sharpen it, a groove is gouged very similar to the grooves beside the Procession Panel.
- In her Distinguished Research Lecture March 12, CU Boulder Professor Rebecca Safran will explore the recent and precipitous decrease in the population of barn swallows.
- Of the genus Physaria, pretty wildflowers, 24 species grow in Colorado. Ten of 24 species are endemic to Colorado, meaning they live nowhere else.
- After an 80-year absence, gray wolves have returned to Colorado; CU Boulder expert Joanna Lambert talks about the implications.
- Full confirmation of this hardy species took five decades of scientific study.
- Like other animals, they are marking their territory, and being subtle about it would not serve their purposes.
- The stunning flower, seen in Colorado’s high country, might be a distinct species or not; regardless, this is science at work.
