The Alaska Reference Database originated as the standalone Alaska Fire Effects Reference Database, a ProCite reference database maintained by former BLM-Alaska Fire Service Fire Ecologist Randi Jandt. It was expanded under a Joint Fire Science Program grant for the FIREHouse project (The Northwest and Alaska Fire Research Clearinghouse). It is now maintained by the Alaska Fire Science Consortium and FRAMES, and is hosted through the FRAMES Resource Catalog. The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

The role of mosaic phenomena in natural communities

Wittaker, Levin
Interrelations among three groups of ideas are considered. (1) The place where a plant is rooted, or a sessile animal is attached, may be termed a microsite. The microsites for a community form a mosaic that is differentiated by physical environment or biological effects or both…

Tetranucleotide, trinucleotide, and dinucleotide loci from the bobcat (Lynx rufus)

Faircloth, Reid, Valentine, Eo, Terhune, Glenn, Palmer, Nairn, Carroll
We describe primers and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) conditions to amplify four dinucleotide, one trinucleotide, and three tetranucleotide microsatellite DNA loci from the bobcat (Lynx rufus). The primers were tested on 22 individuals collected from a population located…

Endemic vascular plants of the Interior Highlands, U.S.A

Zollner, MacRoberts, MacRoberts, Ladd
We evaluate the 36 endemic vascular plants of the Interior Highlands of Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. Most of the endemic flora of the region are herbaceous perennials, although nearly a quarter of the endemic plant taxa are annuals. An analysis of the…

Integrated research to improve fire management decisionmaking

MacGregor, Haynes
The emergence of large fires of long duration (also known as siege fires) with their inherently high costs has raised numerous questions about the opportunities for cost containment. Cost reviews from the 2003 fire season have revealed how additional knowledge created through…

Stability of pitcher-plant microfaunal populations depends on food web structure

Trzcinski, Walde, Taylor
Enrichment (increasing K) destabilizes simple consumer-resource interactions, but increasing food web complexity in various ways can remove this paradox of enrichment. We varied resources and number of omnivorous predators (mosquitoes) and tested for effects on the stability (…
