  A 2005 doctoral graduate from the NAU School of Forestry, McRae, now a scientist at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis in Santa Barbara, Calif., with his adviser Paul Beier of NAU School of Forestry, published this innovation in the Dec. 11 issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA.
  ...
  McRae first hit on the idea while working with Beier on a study of genetic relationships of cougars across the southwest United States.
  ...
  "I predict Brad's model will become the standard way of modeling gene flow, and in a few years it will be seen as so intuitively appropriate that scientists will wonder why no one had seen the analogy before," Beier said.
  ...
  Beier has been involved in designing corridors in Arizona and California since 2002 and recruited McRae to develop a more rigorous scientific basis for designing corridors.
  ...
  "My worst nightmare is that scarce conservation dollars would be spent implementing my recommendations for a corridor, but then the corridor doesn't work," Beier said.

  "This is a big step forward," said Paul Beier, a wildlife ecology professor at Northern Arizona University and an expert on Southern California's mountain lions, in a telephone interview."And there is strong evidence where they have been studied -- mostly in Banff National Park -- that they do work very well."
  
  Grizzly bears, wolves and elk have grown accustomed to using a pair of wildlife bridges in the Canadian national park, according to the park's Web site.Other bridges have been built or are proposed in states such as Washington and Colorado.
  
  Beier said typically very few animals travel across such bridges at first, but after about two years they tend to catch on and use overpasses regularly.

  The corridor was described in a recent report from Northern Arizona University biologist Paul Beier and two colleagues.

  Paul Beier, conservation biology professor, was recently awarded the Fulbright Scholar grant - worth about $40,000 -to study the bare-headed rockfowl, a rare bird about the size of a crow.
  
  Beier has visited Ghana several times since 1999 to work on environmental projects and is enthusiastic about his upcoming five-month project there.
  
  "Most of Africa is very poor," Beier said."Things like forests tend to be over-exploited.We are trying to ensure that the local people capture the benefits (from preserving forests and wildlife).It's easy to say but hard to do."
  
  Beier's upcoming project involves learning more about the birds' behavior and building a research station.
  ...
  Beier said the Ghanaian people place a great deal of importance on God, family and ancestors.
  
  "Families are so important that the first thing you do when you greet someone is ask about their family," Beier said.
  ...
  Beier said dealing with people's attitudes about accomplishing tasks was a difficult adjustment for him as well.
  
  "Americans are so business-like," Beier said."Everything takes longer, and for an American with a business-like attitude, it is hard to deal with.When you come back everyone is getting right down to business."
  
  When Beier returned to the United States, he realized Americans' problems are small compared to people living in Ghana.
  
  "People are complaining about things that are so trivial," Beier said.

  Often the authors' awe is mixed with fear of the powerful animal that is capable of taking down a human but does so rarely, so rarely that Paul Beier, of Northern Arizona University, reckons 22 people have been killed from 1890 to the present, three of those in Colorado.

  But while the author attempts to validate these views by referencing the research of Paul Beier (another distinguished cougar biologist), he fails to mention that the data actually show that a large fraction of attacks are made by healthy, unprovoked cougars who clearly regard humans as prey.

  Paul Beier has been researching and promoting corridors for nearly 20 years.Paul has used these methods in collaborative, science-based efforts in southern California and Arizona, and has supervised a Master's thesis evaluating the sensitivity of these GIS methods to uncertainty in the biological inputs.
