Annual and seasonal variation in grasshopper assemblages at the Sevilleta NWR relative to variation in precipitation. Species richness and abundance from 1989-1995. Influence of climate and prey abundances on coyote diets and population dynamics. The ecology of hantavirus and rodent population interactions. The common currency for many processes at many scales across the Sevilleta.
Energy is another currency.
Important in any analysis of pollution from Albuquerque. Experiments on levels of biomass on controls on runoff, nutrient loss, nutrient dynamic. Anticipate future problems and set up experiments that can be relevant to those future problems. In Colorado, exotics introduce fire and effects on natives while at Sevilleta, fire is more natural, without exotics. Comparison with bosque where exotics have invaded and resulted in increased fire.
