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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Auditory recognition of covey mates from separation calls in northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus)
Two experiments were conducted to determine whether Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) discriminate covey mates from noncovey mates on the basis of recognition of the individual giving the separation call. Two possible modes of recognition, phenotype matching and call…
