After two land use planning cycles over twenty years, Teton County, Wyoming, is still losing its distinctive natural and social amenities to development pressures. There is declining trust that local government can maintain the remaining community character and other values desired by locals.

Trematode prevalence and richness in ponds in Teton County, Wyoming

Trematodes have complex life cycles with infective stages in multiple hosts including species of conservation concern. We conducted a field survey of seven ponds in Teton County, Wyoming for trematode prevalence and richness. We collected snails from each location and determined trematode prevalence by shedding snails and determined trematode richness by dissection of infected snails. At each l...

Ecosystem metabolism controls nitrogen uptake in streams in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

Streams and rivers regulate nitrogen transport (N) to downstream ecosystems. Rates of N uptake can be high in streams, but controls on the variation in uptake rates of N among streams are not known. We measured ammonium (NH ) and nitrate (NO ) uptake velocities (Vf) and compared these with whole-reach estimates of gross primary 1 2 4 3 production (GPP) and community respiration (CR) in 11 low-n...
