        &#8211; Early in July, Aur&eacute;lie C. Shapiro wrote, &#8220;A while ago someone
        told me
        about a free, simple software program (perhaps called CAN) that
        can estimate
        canopy closure from digital photos: hemispherical as well as
        normal photos.

          Conference 2012: Balancing Energy Development and

        University, Logan, Utah, USA The Conference will examine how the
        boom in energy
        development occurring in many parts of the West is affecting or
        may affect the
        well-being of plant and animal species found in the region. From
        sage grouse to
        the hookless cactus to shrubby reed-mustard, many creatures that
        are rare or
        uncommon are under increased pressure, or will be, as energy
        resources are
        developed. We invite biologists, land managers and owners,
        energy development
        firms, and students to come together to talk about which plants
        and animals are
        at risk, how energy development affects these creatures, and how
        we might
        mitigate these effects to maintain biodiversity and promote
        responsible energy
        development. There will be plenary sessions on both days and a
        poster session
        Tuesday afternoon. Poster submissions are requested. For more
