Growing up in Pueblo, Colorado, Savannah Bernal never imagined she’d be taking detailed soil measurements alongside scientists at a windswept Rocky Mountain field site. Now, thanks to a unique summer research program at the University of Colorado

The health of Colorado’s bighorn sheep population remains as precarious as the steep alpine terrain the animals inhabit, but a new study led by EBIO graduate student Catherine Driscoll (Mitton lab) has found that inbreeding—a common hypothesis for a

An intriguing study involving walking stick insects led by the University of Sheffield in England and the University of Colorado Boulder shows how natural selection, the engine of evolution, can also impede the formation of new species.

EBIO postdoc Julia Ng (Smith lab) and Robert Laport (University of Nebraska, Lincoln) are recent recipients of an NSF grant aimed at understanding how communities of species (plants in particular), are assembled and maintained over time.

After a day of fieldwork inventorying lichens at White Rocks Open Space, EBIO Assistant Professor Erin Tripp was walking back to her car when an unfamiliar lichen caught her eye. Later that week, Tripp spotted a second species of lichen that

The chloroplast, where all photosynthesis occurs in plants, is derived from ancient, free-living algae. Over the past 900 million years, however, it has lived inside of plant cells and their green algal ancestors, evolving to be an integral part of
