Biology Research

Colias meadii male butterfly.
My biology research demonstrated the unique constraints of fieldwork and addressed some of the most fascinating questions out there. A few of the projects I have worked on are described below.

This section will grow as I add the rest of my work, so please check back.  

 

  • Temperature-Dependent Growth in Variable Environments

    • Experimental setup

      Experimental setup; square shades are manually applied at low frequencies.

    • Close-up of rotation shade and calibration equipment

      Close-up of setup during calibration.
      See the movie of it in action!

    To understand how high-frequency changes in environment impact temperature-dependent caterpillar growth. Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, 2004.

  • Intertidal Substrate Dynamics

    • Site C5 in January 2001

      Site C5 July 4 2001 with marker in the center of coralline algae

    • Site C5 February 16 2004.

      Site C5 February 16 2004 from a slightly different angle, now covered by mussels. Picture by Luke Miller.

    These two pictures show the dynamics of the intertidal substrate, which was covered by coralline algae in 2001 (left) and by mussels in 2004 (right).
