Effects of using visualization and animation in presentations to communities about forest succession and fire behavior potential
Smith, Zimmerman, Akerelrea, O'Keefe
Natural resource managers use a variety of computer-mediated presentation methods to communicate management practices to the public. We explored the effects of using the Stand Visualization System to visualize and animate predictions from the Forest…

Communicating forest management science and practices through visualized and animated media approaches to community presentations: an exploration and assessment
Zimmerman, Akerelrea, Smith, O'Keefe
Natural-resource managers have used a variety of computer-mediated presentation methods to communicate management practices to diverse publics. We explored the effects of visualizing and animating predictions from mathematical models in computerized…

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…

Assessing the ecological implications of FireSmart forest management
Espinoza, Cui, Martell
FireSmart forest management strategies often include landscape level fuel treatments that fragment the landscape to reduce the risk of extreme fire events. We describe a decision support system that is being developed for incorporating FireSmart…
