28. »Functional Linkage of Watersheds and Streams (FLoWS)  aquatic and terrestrial landscapes are hydrologically-linked »Functional Connectivity Tools (FunnConn)  landscape connectivity is examined from a functional perspective »Spatially balanced sampling  provides environmental managers a practical, useful GIS tool to generate simple, efficient, and robust survey designs for natural resource applications

29. »R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics

30. Species Probability Distributions »Biomapper  Performs Ecological Niche Factor Analysis and outputs a habitat suitability model »GARP  Predict and analysis species distributions »openModeller  creates a fundamental niche model and projects the model into an environmental scenario

31. Analysis Examples

32. Biological Reach »Biological reach vs. Project Footprint »How far away will impacts from the project effect the species of interest both directly and indirectly?

39. Using GIS to Facilitate Communication

40. Discuss Analysis Early and Often »Frequent, informal communication »GIS creates images for discussion »GIS quickly runs different tolerances to determine methods

41. Sharing Data »Email »ArcExplorer »METADATA – no data leaves home without it.

42. Confidentiality Issues »Digital data is easily shared »Use restricted folders »Place lots of notices in metadata »Use “confidential” in the filename »Work with regulatory agencies on the best ways to protect confidential hardcopy documents.

43. File Management »Detailed file management is a MUST »Archive old versions of maps and data »Fully describe methods in metadata or other documents.
