Can you believe that FRSES starts tomorrow?! Here's a sneak peek from one of the poster presenters, Laurel Sindewald!
"High-resolution (1.2 m) multispectral satellite imagery can be used to discriminate dominant vegetation species with overall accuracies of 70-85%. We are developing methodology to apply this approach to estimating species distributions at treeline in Rocky Mountain National Park, including areas that are dangerous or difficult to access, to provide data for future modeling work."

FRSES is less than a week away! Don't miss out on amazing research like this talk from Austin Nash:
"Conservation practitioners need a way to cheaply and rapidly project range shifts due to climate change. Using Wyoming ground squirrels as a study system, Austin will talk about how museum specimens, resurveys, and citizen science data can be integrated to produce occupancy and species distribution models informed by ecological theory to produce spatially explicit predictions of range loss due to climate change."

Get ready for our next Research Highlight! Thank you Mickey for letting us preview your FRSES presentation!
"Acoustic analysis of wild elephant calls suggests that elephants use different calls to address different members of their family, and that different callers address the same receiver in the same way."
