Summer 2021 - Data Collected and What It All Means The above graph depicts the effect of land management practices on firefly abundances. The blue points on the graph reflect the effects of recurring land management practices including mowing, insecticides, and other treatments. The orange points on the graph reflect the effects of recurring land management practices ongoing at a location for at least three years. The model descriptions below outline specific parameters for each treatment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6048e362924d5c45ddd985d1/1655411492729-FE5VRM10WKEKMMQP6S7W/afp+model+description.png Blog - The Results Are In!

Summer 2021 - Data Collected and What It All Means - Make it stand out Graph of Firefly flash count across vegetation type adapted from Kelly Ridenhour. The scale of firefly flash count is normalized by the highest flash count. The scale of vegetation is calculated from the amount of vegetation with a 30 meter buffer (sum of NDVI: log 10). https://www.atlantafireflyproject.org/blog/an-interview-with-the-past-present-and-future-of-the-atlanta-firefly-project monthly 0.5 2022-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6048e362924d5c45ddd985d1/d0e4bc4a-3a44-4299-b9ca-a4fad2488f31/ecoreach+logo.png Blog - An Interview with the Past, Present, and Future of the Atlanta Firefly Project - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.atlantafireflyproject.org/blog/lets-talk-fireflies-the-when-how-and-why-they-glow monthly 0.5 2022-07-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6048e362924d5c45ddd985d1/1657121561445-UCI40VQZ2ZITIKR92Q1L/photinus-australis-males.png Blog - Let’s Talk Fireflies- The When, How, and Why They Glow - Light organs of different fireflies showing different pigments Photinus australis males; notice how the light organ changes color during the active period (when fireflies are flashing).
