A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
10
Images are tools around which users can build
applications We do not want to limit the user
by the way and manner we store images
11
Bugwood Image Systems
  • Started from a focus on forest health issues but
    expanded to cover forestry, IPM and natural
    resource related topics
  • International in focus
  • Integrate images and information

12
All images in Bugwood systems can be used for
educational uses with no royalties or fees as
long as credit is given to the photographer and
to the website from which it was downloaded
Commercial use requires permission of
photographer / image rights holder and The
Bugwood Network

Image Archives Contain High-Quality /
High-Resolution Images
  • Featuring over 55,000 images from over 1,200
    photographers covering 9,000 species taken in 80
    countries

15
Images are used in
  • Web Pages
  • PowerPoint Presentations
  • Newsletters
  • Newspaper articles
  • Posters
  • Magazines
  • Full-page Color Prints
  • Diagnostic Keys
  • Journals
  • Text Books

16
Database Structure
  • Taxonomically Correct Subject Database
  • Linked to Images
  • Linked to Publications
  • Linked to Web Resources
  • Linked to Distribution and Survey Information
    (Possible)
  • Includes FIA damage agents, ESA common names, US
    invasive plants, regulated pests
  • Handles non-biological subjects

Building Awareness of Invasives Requires a TEAM
effort
  • Develop partnerships with other agencies
  • Co-sponsor programs
  • Tap into their clientele training opportunities
  • All of the partners take credit
  • Look for partnerships to develop, support
    deliver programs
  • Utilize the web, field days, news outlets, etc.
    to spread the word!

36
Building Awareness of Invasives
  • Train the Trainer Provide training to Extension
    Agents, other state agency personnel,
    professional resource consultants/managers
  • Develop programs for farmers, landowners the
    public in general
  • Provide new information on the web

37
Image and Datasystem Future
  • Expand repertoire and scope of images
  • Provide more complete coverage of current species
  • Build and improve taxonomy with subfamily, tribe,
    etc. as well as references
  • Easier user submission of images
  • As technology and web capabilities change adapt
    and take advantage of these changes
  • Such as XML, Web Services, Flash and AJAX

38
To Acquire Images to Support Identification
Needs Working with
  • USDA-APHIS-PPQ National Identification Services
    -NIS
  • USDA-APHIS-CPHST LUCID Key Cooperators
  • USDA CAPS Program Cooperators
  • UGA FL DPI Taxonomists PEET and NSF-links
  • USDA-ARS ScaleNet (Beltsville)
  • SPDN Training and Education Committee (Current
    CSREES Project)
  • Outlining Future Projects with Great Plains
    Network (NPDN) CSU MSU
  • Taxonomists at Cornell, UGA, Museums of Victoria
    (Australia)
  • USDA Forest Service, ED/RR Team
  • Building Linkages with GBIF ITIS
  • Many international cooperators

just reported on, and others
These are all GREAT projects, but we believe that
the images and information generated by them has
much more usefulness Our question is then, how
to extend this information and images to others
for other applications and uses ?

  • We are striving to make this resource and these
    archives more useful
  • We need images for many species that are
    important to SPDN, CAPS to US Homeland Security
  • We need you and your colleagues help to do it !

The Bugwood Network is Becoming
  • The Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem
    Health

76
Mission
  • The Centers mission is to serve a lead role in
    development, consolidation and dissemination of
    information and programs focused on invasive
    species, forest health, natural resource and
    agricultural management through technology
    development, program implementation, training,
    applied research and public awareness at the
    state, regional, national and international
    levels.
