AWA believes in science-backed conservation, and members of our organization have co-authored articles on everything from invasive plant species to migratory birds to the genetics of spruce trees. Check out our publications below.
The article highlights research on controversial resource management interventions, such as the use of herbicide on invasive aquatic plants, and how resource managers require information on public value trade-offs and perceived risk, beyond that which public meetings can provide.
The article highlights research on the phenological patterns of soundscapes of ecosystems, and weather the seasonality of the soundscapes coincided with weather variables that are used to monitor climate.
The article examines an isotopic approach to estimate probable breeding, staging and/or non-breeding origins of six shorebird species, some of high conservation concern, using Chickaloon during spring and fall migration of 2009 and 2010
The article examines how the Resist-Accept-Direct (RAD) framework can facilitate informed decision making and a more cohesive and proactive approach to managing ecological trajectories…”
Check out a new publication co-authored by AWA’s Vice President, Dr. John Morton in the Canadian Journal of Forest Research!
The article discusses a study that examined the genetic makeup of Lutz spruce, a natural hybrid between white and Sitka spruce on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska
Our board vice president, Dr. John Morton, and our executive director, Nicole Schmitt, have both been recently published! Read more about the RAD Framework and AWA’s outlook on climate adaptation for wildlife in Alaska.
Our board vice president, Dr. John Morton, has been recently published. Learn more about Alaska’s first known aquatic invasive species, Elodea spp. (Elodea) and its floatplane-related dispersal.
In the article, Becker and Herreman (2021) critique the approach of Schmidt et al. (2019), which integrates local minimum counts with landscape‐scale conventional distance sampling (CDS) surveys.
AWA’s Vice President, Dr. John Morton, co-authored a recently published report on climate adaptation strategies we hope to employ in Alaska. Learn more about this Resist-Accept-Direct framework.
