  1. LA 100 – SOS Version LEC-03 Althoff Technical Literature – Part I Defining Technical Information

  2. Technical Info can be…. • Data: numbers, graphic representation of numbers, images (of cells, tissues, organs, individuals, habitat, landscapes, etc.) • Models: how something “works”, how we perceive a process, impact, renovation • Equipment: new designs, options, and/or applications of the equipment • Techniques/Methods: approaches and protocols to conducting field or lab activities… or data analysis • Chronology of Events: what happened when • Etc.

  3. DATA - numbers

  4. DATA – graphic view s. Pacific rattlesnake cottonmouth Species of snake & chronology of bites can influence amount of venom released during each bite

  5. DATA – graphic view

  6. DATA - Models G1 G0 MITOSIS CELL CYCLE G2 S

  7. DATA - Equipment Net Radiometer – measures incoming & outgoing radiation Pitfall trap - arthropods

  8. DATA - images Avian leucosis complex Diffuse nodular lesions in the liver, spleen, intestine and heart Human red blood cells (2 with nucleus present) Timber Harvest (clearcuts) Wolf – age by tooth wear

  9. DATA - images

  10. DATA – techniques/proceduresset/up Whole body HYPERTHERMIA

  11. DATA – chronology of events Fall migration Fall migration Young become volant Young born Maternity Colony Formation Summer habitat use Summer habitat use Spring Emergence & Migration Hibernation Swarming Indiana bat (Myotissodalis) annual chronology

  12. DATA – chronology of events

  13. Title Authors (and affiliation) Date Abstract (if “long”) Key Words Introduction (and/or Background Info) Study Area (if not a lab) Methods & Materials Results Discussion Conclusions (and/or management implications) Acknowledgements Literature Cited Appendix Typical Components in WRITTENScientific Technical Communications 7 1 8 2 9 10 3 11 4 5 6 12 13 14

  14. Title –what does it tell us? Authors (and affiliation) – how many? Abstract—present? Key Words—present? Introduction a) why study grassland birds? b) why study habitat requirements? c) what was study objective? Examination of the Sample Technical Papera peer-reviewed publication 1 2 4 5 6

  15. Discussion –which had nests further from bare ground patches? Discussion –what direction did nest openings face? Discussion –how can wildlife managers manage for “microhabitat” characteristics for improving nesting habitat for these species? Examination of the Sample Technical Paper…con’t 10 10 10

  16. Technical literature has a specific format…but the format varies from journal-to –journal You should be able to read these sections… and understand the main focus and findings of the paper: Introduction Discussion Data comes in many forms. It is usually summarized in Tables and Figures In summary…
