"The effects of habitat loss, barred owls, and climate on the long-term demography of the Northern Spotted Owl "Talk by Janice Reid.  The northern spotted owl is an indicator of the health of the older forest ecosystem. The research on the northern spotted owl is important for public and private agencies and individuals interested in wood fiber extraction. Janice is interested in using technology to improve and enhance the data collection process of her current research.
