Trade Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 285 PagesJuly 1992 Edition. This report consists of 13 chapters. Chapter is an extended summary of Chapters 3-13, ;providing bare essentials about key findings to establish the basis for our final conclusions, and presenting recommendations. Chapter 2 presents the consensus of the Technical Assessment Team's recommendations about what future efforst should be. Readers can explore the remaining chapters for details on statements and conclusions summarized in Chapter 1. Chapter 3 presents the general background leading to the present issue and summarizes the owl's distributiion throughout California. The next seven chapters describe general biology and ecological relations, results of studies on its habitat associations, its demography and projections of population stability. Chapters 11-13 consider how conifer forests in the owl's range came to be what they are today, refiew the fire history and current fuels problems in owl habitat, and identify projected trends. There are Four Appendices: Chronology of Team activities, Glossary, Common and Scientific names, and Names of Authors.

Hardback. Condizione: New. A look at how wildlife professionals can modernize their approaches to habitat and population management with a fresh take on animal ecology.How can we maximize the probability that a species of wild animal will persist into the future? This audacious book proposes that advancing animal ecology-and conservation itself-demands that we reenvision our basic understanding of how animals interact with their environments and with each other. Synthesizing where we are and where we need to go with our studies of animals and their environs, Foundations for Advancing Animal Ecology asserts that studies of animal ecology should begin with a focus on the behaviors and characteristics of individual organisms. The book examines. the limitations of classic approaches to the study of animal ecology. how organisms organize into collections, such as breeding pairs, flocks, and herds. how the broader biotic and abiotic environment shapes animal populations, communities, and ecosystems. factors underlying the distribution and abundance of species through space and time. the links between habitat and population. why communication between researchers and managers is key. specific strategies for managing wild animal populations and habitats in an evolutionary and ecosystem contextThroughout, the authors stress the importance of speaking a common and well-defined language. Avoiding vague and misleading terminology, they argue, will help ecologists translate science into meaningful and lasting actions in the environment. Taking the perspective of the organism of interest in developing concepts and applications, the authors always keep the potentially biased human perspective in focus. A major advancement in understanding the factors underlying wildlife-habitat relationships, Foundations for Advancing Animal Ecology will be an invaluable resource to professionals and practitioners in natural resource management in public and private sectors, including state and federal agencies, non-governmental organizations, and environmental consultants.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Practical guidance for wildlife professionals working to improve study design, data analysis, and the application of results to habitat and population management.Winner of the Wildlife Society Publications Book Award by The Wildlife SocietyDespite major advances in sampling techniques and analytical methods, many animal ecologists conduct research that is primarily relevant to a specific time and place. They also tend to focus more on the statistical analyses and nuances of modeling than actual study design. Arguing that studies of animal ecology should always begin with a focus on the behaviors and characteristics of individual organisms, including how they form into distinct biological populations, Applications for Advancing Animal Ecology takes a fresh and critical look at the field. Building from its companion volume, Foundations for Advancing Animal Ecology, this practical book presents readers with the principal methods used to observe animal behavior. Teaching them to assess resource abundance categories of species-environmental relationships models, it also explores. major aspects of measuring animal habitat: what to measure and how to measure it; common sampling and estimation methods to assess population parameters; when to measure and how to analyze data; problems that will confront ecologists in the coming years-and how to gather information to adequately address them; and. how the experimental approach can be used to advance the science of animal ecology.Throughout the book, the authors stress the importance of speaking a common and well-defined language. Avoiding vague and misleading terminology, they assert, will help ecologists translate science into meaningful and lasting actions in the environment. Taking the perspective of the organism of interest in developing concepts and applications, the authors always keep the potentially biased human perspective in focus. They also provide a selection of suggested research projects, cautions, and caveats. A major advancement in understanding the factors underlying wildlife-habitat relationships, Applications for Advancing Animal Ecology will be an invaluable resource to natural resource management professionals and practitioners, including state and federal agencies, non-governmental organizations, and environmental consultants.
