A Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ 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, Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ 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, Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ 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 Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ. Ten of 24 species are endemic to Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ, meaning they live nowhere else.
After an 80-year absence, gray wolves have returned to Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ; Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ 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 Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ’s high country, might be a distinct species or not; regardless, this is science at work.
