Conceptual Ecological Model for Management of Breeding Shrubland Birds in the Mid-Atlantic Region
ISBN: 9781491230107 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While grassland birds have become the focus of increased conservation activities, the status of birds occupying shrubland habitats has received relatively little attention (Hunter et al. 2001). Yet, in eastern North America, shrubland birds exhibited consistent population declines during the past 40 years, based on data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey (Pardieck and Sauer 2001). These population declines primarily reflect large-scale changes in land use patterns during the previous century (Lorimer 2001). Large areas of marginal farmland were abandoned and underwent secondary...

As part of the Natural Resource Challenge (NPS 1999), the Mid-Atlantic Network (MIDN) has been tasked with monitoring "vital signs," a suit of physical, chemical, or biological elements or processes that represent the overall health or condition of the network parks' natural resources. Breeding birds have been selected as one of the Mid-Atlantic Network's vital signs because they are highly visible, are a reliable indicator of ecological integrity, and face numerous population threats in the region (Comiskey and Callahan 2008).

ISBN: 9781491085370 / Angielski / Miękka / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Passerine birds (passerines) in Denali National Park and Preserve (Denali) have been selected for long-term monitoring as part of the National Park Service's (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring Program. Monitoring goals include relating bird distributions to habitat characteristics and detecting severe population declines over 20 years. Point transect surveys were implemented to monitor breeding passerines because distance sampling methods adjust counts for probability of detection, require only 1 visit to each sampling point during a breeding season, and allow monitoring of multiple species...

If wildlife watching were a corporation, it would have ranked 23rd on the Fortune 500 list that year.
