The Wog Wog Habitat Fragmentation Experiment: Volunteers
http://wogwogfragmentationexperiment.blogspot.com/p/volunteers.html
Some tips for getting volunteers. 1 Utilise your family. Organise a trip in January when most are free and make it a 'working holiday'. 2 Utilise students. Ensure field work coincides with student holidays, particularly if, like me, you need to spend a solid block of time in the field to make the trip worth it. Students are super keen to be in the field with a post-grad researcher but they will be reluctant to miss any of their study, as should be expected. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Tree munching machi...

The Wog Wog Habitat Fragmentation Experiment: How does forest fragmentation affect community (re)organization? New paper in Journal of Veg Sci
http://wogwogfragmentationexperiment.blogspot.com/2012/08/how-does-forest-fragmentation-affect.html
Sunday, 26 August 2012. How does forest fragmentation affect community (re)organization? New paper in Journal of Veg Sci. I am very excited to blog about the first paper published from the Wog Wog Habitat Fragmentation Experiment in over 10 years led by John Morgan. I have mentioned my intention to do this in a number of previous posts). I wanted to wait until it was actually printed in the journal with volume and page numbers, but with a subscription to Journal of Vegetation Science. Box-plot distributi...

The Wog Wog Habitat Fragmentation Experiment: Tree munching machines and 70's rock
http://wogwogfragmentationexperiment.blogspot.com/2014/07/rush-trees-neat-song-i-just-discovered.html
Friday, 11 July 2014. Tree munching machines and 70's rock. TREES - the dominant vegetation type at the WWHFE. While checking out Robert Krulwich's. Recent blog post titled ' Watch It Swallow An Entire Tree In Seconds. I was exposed to a machine used in forestry that is capable of consuming a 10 m tall tree in 15 seconds. Although interesting, that is perhaps a topic for another time. From the band Rush. I was first caught by the lyrics which I read like a poem:. There is unrest in the forest
. And they ...

Wednesday, 30 May 2012. New Scope for Wog Blog. Every time I open Safari my 'Wog Blog' is the first page I see. I'm so vain I know (although you will be pleased to know that I have disallowed my computer to add to stat counts, I'm not that vain). Really it is there so that I am reminded it exists, and that I should be adding to it. Recently I have been following an amazing series of blogs and blog comments in Ian Lunt's blog. And I have in press. In the Journal of Vegetation Science. Joseph Craine Wild P...

The Wog Wog Habitat Fragmentation Experiment: November 2013
http://wogwogfragmentationexperiment.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, 14 November 2013. Changes in plant species density in an experimentally fragmented forest landscape: are the effects scale-dependant? I have recently been notified that a second chapter of my thesis has been published (early view) in the journal Austral Ecology. This work was conducted with colleagues, James Camac. And you can find a copy of the article here. By using a series of nested quadrats (Figure 1) within each fragment we were not only. See how diversity is influenced by fragmentation, ...

The Wog Wog Habitat Fragmentation Experiment: June 2012
http://wogwogfragmentationexperiment.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, 3 June 2012. My Thesis Part 5: Scale-dependancy of plant species density. John and I working in close proximity to one of. The weather stations Image: Freya Thomas. Lastly, within this same set of data I have the capacity to investigate the scale of investigation. By comparing the number of species at the 1m2, 16m2 and 144m2 scale across all fragment sizes we may find that a certain scale produces stronger relationships with fragment size that may have been missed if a single scale was used.
