Bird being
ISBN: 9781496019981 / Angielski / Miękka / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Based on fossil and biological evidence, most scientists accept that birds are a specialized subgroup of theropod dinosaurs. More specifically, they are members of Maniraptora, a group of theropods which includes dromaeosaurs and oviraptorids, among others. As scientists have discovered more nonavian theropods closely related to birds, the previously clear distinction between nonbirds and birds has become blurred. Recent discoveries in the Liaoning Province of northeast China, which demonstrate many small theropod dinosaurs had feathers, contribute to this ambiguity. The consensus view in...

Bald Eagle Nest Survey Katmai National Park & Preserve, Alaska
ISBN: 9781492340126 / Angielski / Miękka / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Nest occupancy and reproductive success of the large breeding populations of bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) within parks in the Southwest Alaska Network (SWAN), including Katmai National Park & Preserve (KATM), have been selected as a "vital sign" for monitoring as they are indicative of the health of both freshwater and marine ecosystems. Records of nesting activity were collected from 1974-1997 in KATM, but monitoring lapsed from 1998- 2010. In 2011, we reinitiated eagle surveys in KATM following a standardized sampling protocol with an initial double-count aerial survey in May to...

Bird Community Monitoring at Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, Kansas: 2001-2010 Status Report
ISBN: 9781492344162 / Angielski / Miękka / 32 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Birds are an important component of park ecosystems, as their high body temperature, rapid metabolism, and high ecological position in most food webs make them good indicators of the effects of local and regional changes in ecosystems. It has been suggested that management activities aimed at preserving habitat for bird populations, such as for neotropical migrants, can have the added benefit of preserving entire ecosystems and their attendant ecosystem services. Moreover, birds have a tremendous following among the public and many parks provide information on the status and trends of birds...

Upper Columbia Basin Network Science Communication Plan, Version 1.0: Natural Resource Report NPS/UCBN/NRR?2009/140
ISBN: 9781492756910 / Angielski / Miękka / 82 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The UCBN recognizes the need to raise overall awareness about the work of the inventory and monitoring (I&M) program, the network's role and activities in I&M, and sharing monitoring status and trend results. Effective communication and outreach is a critical link in dissemination of I&M results. The success of the I&M program ultimately depends on whether park managers find the information produced by the UCBN to be useful in the management of natural resources in their park. In addition, to achieve that success, it is critical that park staff make their needs known to the UCBN. This...
