Book Synopsis Population Ecology of the Dusky Canada Goose (Branata Candensis Occidentalis Baird) by : Susan E. Sheaffer
Download or read book Population Ecology of the Dusky Canada Goose (Branata Candensis Occidentalis Baird) written by Susan E. Sheaffer and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adult dusky Canada geese (Branta canadensis occidentalis Baird) were banded with plastic neck bands and observed on the winter range during 1985-92. Annual survival rates of adult geese estimated from observation data ranged from 76% to 85%. A model of Canada goose population dynamics was developed to illustrate relationships between survival rates, harvest regulations, and recruitment parameters and to predict trends in population size. Model simulations using recent estimates of survival and recruitment indicated that without significant increases in recruitment, survival rates must remain at or above present levels for the dusky Canada goose population to maintain itself. Observations of geese banded with tarsal and neck bands were used to estimate within-year survival rates and rates of neck band loss during 1990-92. Average monthly survival was 97% and was not significantly different among harvest and nonharvest periods (X2, P = 0.3882). Neck band retention rates were 100% and 98% the first and second year after banding, respectively, for male and female geese. Resighting probabilities for neck and tarsal bands were significantly lower for female than for male geese (X2, P

Maps of both winter and breeding ranges are presented with stunning images by top waterfowl photographers and the acclaimed original artwork of Robert W. (Bob) Hines. Originally authored by F. H. Kortright and later revised by Frank Bellrose, this latest edition, which has been meticulously updated by renowned waterfowl biologist Guy Baldassarre, continues the legacy of esteemed authors. Each species account contains in-depth sections on: • identification • distribution • migration behavior • habitat • population status • breeding biology • rearing of young • recruitment and survival • food habits and feeding ecology • molts and plumages • conservation and management To facilitate identification, the species accounts also include detailed illustrations of wings.

Book Synopsis Sustainable Squirrel Conservation by : Moriz Steiner
Download or read book Sustainable Squirrel Conservation written by Moriz Steiner and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-06-29 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book attempts to move the family of squirrels (Sciuridae) out of the shadow of large charismatic mammals and to highlight management failures with the goal of moving towards an improved conservation approach. Particular attention is paid to the influence of taxonomic science on squirrel conservation. In addition, the authors show how human-driven climate change, global change and modern politics are shaping global squirrel populations as well as their surrounding environments and ecosystems. Squirrels are widespread around the globe, naturally occurring on every continent except Antarctica and Oceania, and they are certainly among the animals most commonly encountered in everyday life. Despite this, the authors of this volume identify worrying gaps in squirrel conservation. Squirrels are often hunted, trapped, poached, and stressed, and management strategies and legislation are often devised in the absence of proper knowledge of issues such as population sizes, taxonomies, and trends. Together, this can result in severe population declines and even species extinction. By assessing their taxonomic situation, ecology, the evolution and divergence of Sciuridae around the globe, and squirrels’ well-being across habitats, the authors set a baseline from which to launch future investigations into the conservation of squirrels and other species. Additionally, the authors highlight the influences of climate change, unsustainable growth, and various man-made threats to the future of this family.

Book Synopsis The Barnacle Goose by : Jeffrey M. Black
Download or read book The Barnacle Goose written by Jeffrey M. Black and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-12-18 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Barnacle Goose, a distinctive, handsome black-and-white bird, gets its name from a mediaeval myth that the birds hatched from barnacles – how else to explain their sudden appearance each autumn in northern Britain? We now know, of course, that the birds migrate from Arctic Russia, Norway and Svalbard to winter throughout northern Europe. This book represents a culmination of more than 25 years of Barnacle Goose research. It represents the story of one of Europe's most celebrated long-term behavioral studies, detailing the lives of these social and sociable birds. Chapters include sections on pair formation and bonding, family and population dynamics, brood parasitism, food and feeding, size and shape in different populations, life cycle, survivorship, dispersal, migration, and conservation, with particular regard to climate change. It is a rigorous and thorough examination of the lives of these birds, in fine Poyser tradition.
Book Synopsis Current Ornithology Volume 17 by : Charles F. Thompson

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current Ornithology publishes authoritative, up-to-date, scholarly reviews of topics selected from the full range of current research in avian biology. Topics cover the spectrum from the molecular level of organization to population biology and community ecology. The series seeks especially to review (1) fields in which an abundant recent literature will benefit from synthesis and organization, or (2) newly emerging fields that are gaining recognition as the result of recent discoveries or shifts in perspective, or (3) fields in which students of vertebrates may benefit from comparisons of birds with other classes. All chapters are invited, and authors are chosen for their leadership in the subjects under review.
Book Synopsis Handbook of Avian Hybrids of the World by : Eugene M. McCarthy

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more than 5,000 works cited, Handbook of Avian Hybrids of the World is the greatest compendium of information ever published on hybridization in birds. Worldwide in scope, it provides information on all reported avian crosses, not only those occurring in captivity, but also in a natural setting (approximately 4,000 crosses are covered). This book is a basic reference, intended both for the serious birder and the professional biologist. McCarthy's work fills a need for reference material that takes into account the last half century of data. It will be of interest to workers in a wide variety of fields, ranging from animal behavior to genetics, ecology, zoology, and systematics. In fact, it will make fascinating reading for anyone interested in birds and the natural world.
