Strengthening the case for saproxylic arthropod conservation: a call for ecosystem services research
Ulyshen1. While research on the ecosystem services provided by biodiversity is becoming widely embraced as an important tool in conservation, the services provided by saproxylic arthropods an especially diverse and threatened assemblage dependent on dead…

The IMAGINE Prescribed Fire Prioritization Model: A Logistical and Ecological Approach to Management
GoolsbyIMAGINE aims to solve the issue of technology overload confronting prescribed fire managers today. As the demand to prescribe burn more acres increase, so do the demands on fire management officers (FMOs) to prioritize treatment areas. Prescribed…
