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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Preliminary biological studies of arctic Scolytidae were carried out during a scientific expedition of northwestern Alaska. Eight scolytid species were found associated with Picea glauca and a significant range extension for Dendroctonus punctatus was noted. Ips borealis host…

Agricultural burning in an intensively farmed region within Manitoba's pothole district is shown to affect the nesting activities of ground-nesting ducks. All species, except Blue-winged Teal (Anas discors), preferred unburned nest cover, although success was higher in burned…

An intense fire occurring on a previously established study area in August 1969 reduced the subsequent spring breeding density of spruce grouse (Canachites canadensis) by about 60 percent. At least 35 percent of the adults using the burn in spring-summer 1970 were birds that…

(1) The main features of the ten-year cycle are the regularity of the period and the irregularity of the amplitude of the oscillations; these features are obvious in data on the lynx cycle, and in the correlogram and periodogram calculated from the data. (2) A statistical model…

Moose population status, trends in productivity, survival and abundance monitored by aerial surveys and other means in four Alaskan study areas during 1950-1972 are reviewed. Moose numbers were high or increasing from 1950 to 1960 in all areas studied due to extensive and…

Information on the winter feeding behavior of caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in Newfoundland and the relative abundance of food available to them in winter are presented. Sight and smell were used to locate food beneath the snow. Tall shrubs showing above the snow begin to increase…

The numbers of caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in North America generally declined in the 1800s and early 1900s. Four hypotheses are discussed relative to this decline: (I) numbers decreased because of a shortage of lichen supplies caused by the destruction of lichen pastures by…

A severe infestation of spruce beetle (Dendroctonus rufipennis Kby.) in a white spruce (Picea glauca [Moench] Voss)-paper birch (Betula papyrifera var.) stand caused 64.6 percent mortality of spruce 5 inches d.b.h. and larger where the infestation was completed. Survival of…
