Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chatham Island oystercatcher (Haematopus chathamensis; torea) is an endangered species ranked by the New Zealand Department of Conservation as "Nationally Critical," making it a very high priority for conservation management. The goal of the species' recovery plan is to improve productivity and adult survivorship, and to increase the total population to ) 250 individuals, thus reducing its chance of extinction and its threat ranking. This report outlines the management techniques used in 1998-2004 to boost oystercatcher productivity. From 1998 to 2004, 16 km of shoreline in northern Chatham Island (Wharekauri and Maunganui) was managed using a combination of three general techniques: predator control, stock exclusion, and movement or raising of nests away from high tide. This three-pronged attack was considered the "best practice" set of actions that would boost oystercatcher productivity and was a major success. Whereas productivity is usually low on average (0.35 chicks per pair), intensive management resulted in much higher breeding success (1.04 chicks per pair; range = 0.5-1.6). Birds that were reared in managed areas bred at 2-5 years of age, subdivided previously large territories and spread along previously unoccupied shoreline, particularly in northern Chatham Island. Survival of adults (98%) and juveniles (89%) was also higher in the managed zones. In 7 years, the total population increased from 144 to 316 birds, and the number of breeding pairs increased from 49 to 89 as a result of young birds recruiting into the population. The techniques outlined in this report should be of use to future managers of this endangered population of birds.

Book Synopsis Dune Restoration in Northern Chatham Island by : P. J. Moore
Download or read book Dune Restoration in Northern Chatham Island written by P. J. Moore and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In northern Chatham Island, nesting opportunities for the Chatham Island oystercatcher (Haematopus chathamensis) are affected by ongoing modification of the dune ecosystem resulting from stock grazing and the continued spread of introduced marram (Ammophila arenaria) grass. Marram creates steep dunes and narrow beaches that result in oystercatchers nesting close to the high tide mark, where nests are at risk of being washed away by high seas. A long-term solution to the degradation of breeding habitat and the need for translocating nests was trialled in 2001-05 at two sites, Mairangi Creek and Tioriori, using dune restoration techniques. These techniques included control of marram and other weed species, creation of extra open space for nesting, and revegetation of foredune areas with native species. The resident pair of oystercatchers at Mairangi Creek nested successfully within the restoration site in 2002 after floods and high seas cut away the previous nesting area on the beach. The new nesting area was outside the reach of normal storm-generated waves. In subsequent years, oystercatchers at Mairangi Creek nested on a newly accumulating beach crest in front of the restoration site within the storm zone. At Tioriori, the resident pair nested progressively further inland during the restoration period. A gradual accumulation of sand ensured that the nests were relatively safe from being washed away by wind-generated waves. Although the sample size of oystercatchers in this trial was small, the results indicate that dune restoration provides more nesting habitat for shorebirds while also benefiting threatened plant communities of the Chatham Islands. This approach has application elsewhere in New Zealand dune systems.
Book Synopsis Sand Dune Conservation, Management and Restoration by : J. Patrick Doody
Download or read book Sand Dune Conservation, Management and Restoration written by J. Patrick Doody and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-18 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the development of temperate coastal sand dunes and the way these have been influenced by human activity. The different states in which the habitat exists both for the beach/foredune and inland dune are reviewed against the pressures exerted upon them. Options for management are considered and the likely consequences of taking a particular course of action highlighted. These options include traditional approaches to the conservation and management of wildlife and landscapes as well as habitat restoration. The way the value of the areas changes under different management regimes is considered mainly from an environmental perspective. Consideration is given to new approaches to management and restoration including adopting a more dynamic approach. Audience This book will be of interest to academics, students and professionals concerned with policy formulation and /or actively managing coastal areas.

Book Synopsis Bird Conservation by : David R. Williams
Download or read book Bird Conservation written by David R. Williams and published by Pelagic Publishing. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 831 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together scientific evidence and experience relevant to the practical conservation of wild birds. The authors worked with an international group of bird experts and conservationists to develop a global list of interventions that could benefit wild birds. For each intervention, the book summarises studies captured by the Conservation Evidence project, where that intervention has been tested and its effects on birds quantified. The result is a thorough guide to what is known, or not known, about the effectiveness of bird conservation actions throughout the world. The preparation of this synopsis was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council and Arcadia.

Download or read book Bird Population Studies written by Christopher M. Perrins and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1991 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are more than one thousand species of threatened birds in the world, while many others are valued for sport and some are serious pests. This volume reviews our current understanding of avian population dynamics and explores ways in which population studies can contribute to effective conservation and management. Estimation of demographic parameters, the role of mathematical modelling, and the special problems of island populations and seabird populations are discussed. The emphasis throughout is on how bird populations are regulated under various constraints and conditions, including the impact of environmental changes.

Book Synopsis Camera Trapping for Wildlife Research by : Francesco Rovero
Download or read book Camera Trapping for Wildlife Research written by Francesco Rovero and published by Pelagic Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2016-06-18 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Camera trapping is a powerful and now widely used tool in scientific research on wildlife ecology and management. It provides a unique opportunity for collecting knowledge, investigating the presence of animals, or recording and studying behaviour. Its visual nature makes it easy to successfully convey findings to a wide audience. This book provides a much-needed guide to the sound use of camera trapping for the most common ecological applications to wildlife research. Each phase involved in the use of camera trapping is covered: - Selecting the right camera type - Set-up and field deployment of your camera trap - Defining the sampling design: presence/absence, species inventory, abundance; occupancy at species level; capture-mark-recapture for density estimation; behavioural studies; community-level analysis - Data storage, management and analysis for your research topic, with illustrative examples for using R and Excel - Using camera trapping for monitoring, conservation and public engagement. Each chapter in this edited volume is essential reading for students, scientists, ecologists, educators and professionals involved in wildlife research or management.
