Hi,
Do folks have a working set of (variable) metrics when
estimating anthropogenic effect (distance) within road
margins?
I'm looking at buffering road size classes
(Inter-state, State, County, Local, etc...) with
variable buffers widths within a GIS, and was
wondering if certain values are co
we have fire ant problems up here and it is some mess. If you put down
sherman traps with peanut butter, you will catch fire ants. Also, the
fire ants will kill small mammals in the traps. I don't know if anyone
else has experienced this or not. one of my students experimented with

There are two populations of fireflies in Nevada that I have witnessed.
ONe is in Panaca, NV and one is in Great Basin National Park, NV both
areas are just west of Utah. I have collected specimens and sent them to
the state entomologist, but I don't know what happened to that data.

As a middle school science teacher, I can say that teaching ecology is one of
the best ways to make kids

Faculty Position in Integrative Animal Physiology
The Department of Biological Sciences at Clemson University invites
applications for a tenure-track faculty position in integrative animal
physiology at the Assistant Professor level, to begin August 2008.
Postdoctoral experience is required.
I just listened to an edition of WNYCs RadioLab where they spoke about
John and Elizabeth Buck first studying this phenomenon. It was a very
interesting piece you can check it out through iTunes - the episode
was titled Emergence.

I am no expert on fireflies, but I would like to mention that some fireflies
in SE Asia flash in synchrony. Regions consisting of several trees can
contain thousands of fireflies that all flash together, a sight which I am
