Studying Wildlife at Local and Landscape Scales: Bachman's Sparrows at the Savannah River Site
Published on January 1, 2000
These studies are summarized, and the value of the research to both management and research interests is discussed. -
White-tailed Deer Management Options Model (DeerMOM): Design, Quantification, and Application
Published on June 15, 1999
In this model, we grouped deer into three age classes: fawn, yearling, and adult. Reproductive rates and fetal sex ratios were age-specific, while natural and harvest mortality rates were both age- and sex-specific. -
Changes in Human Population Structure: Implications for Biodiversity Conservation
Published on April 29, 1999
Human population size and growth have been recognized as important factors affecting biodiversity, but the impacts of population structural changes on biodiversity are not clear. -
Framework for Evaluating the Effects of Human Factors on Wildlife Habitat: the Case of Giant Pandas
Published on March 24, 1999
To address the complex interactions between humans and wildlife habitat, we developed a conceptual framework that links human factors with forested landscapes and wildlife habitat. -
Spatial and Temporal Impacts of Adjacent Areas on the Dynamics of Species Diversity in a Primary Forest
Published on January 1, 1999
A study on spatial and temporal impacts of adjacent areas on the dynamics of species diversity in a primary forest. -
The Process of Fisheries Management
Published on January 1, 1999
Fisheries management is a challenging and exciting process of planning and taking actions to manipulate fish populations, fish habitat, and people to achieve specific human objectives -
Communication for Effective Fisheries Management
Published on January 1, 1999
The book covers fishery assessments, habitat and community manipulations, and common practices for managing stream, river, lake, and anadromous fisheries. -
Stock Origins of Dolly Varden Collected from Beaufort Sea Coastal Sites of Arctic Alaska and Canada
Published on January 1, 1999
The purpose of this study was to assess variation in stock origins of Dolly Varden collected from sites along 400 km of Beaufort Sea coast. -
A Global Programme in Interdisciplinary Forest Research: The CTFS Perspective
Published on March 31, 1998
A research aimed at furthering an understanding of tropical forests and at translating biological and socio-economic research into results relevant to forest management, economics and policy. -
Stimulating Effects of Landscape Context and Timber Harvest on Tree Species Diversity
Published on March 9, 1998
A study on stimulating Effects of Landscape Context and Timber Harvest on Tree Species Diversity. -
FORMOSAIC: An Individual-Based Spatially Explicit Model for Simulating Forest Dynamics in Landscape Mosaics
Published on October 24, 1997
We developed a landscape model that explicitly considers not only the dynamics of a focal forest but also ecological impacts of adjacent areas on the focal forest. -
From Clients to Stakeholders: A Philosophical Shift for Fish and Wildlife Management
Published on February 29, 1996
Fish and wildlife management in North America has been experiencing a fundamental philosophical shift among professional managers and policy makers about who are the beneficiaries of management. -
Local Ecological Knowledge and Agriculture in the Haute Vallee du Niger, Republic of Mali, W. Africa
Published on January 1, 1996
W. McConnell writes in Indigenous Knowledge and Change in African Agriculture about Local Ecological Knowledge and Agriculture in the Haute Vallee du Niger, Republic of Mali, W. Africa. -
Potential Effects of a Forest Management Plan on Bachman's Sparrows (Aimophila aestivalis): Linking a Spatially Explicit Model with GIS
Published on February 1, 1995
We explored how a species (the sparrow) that is not the target of specific management strategies but that shares some habitat requirements with the woodpecker, would fare under the management plan. -
Genetic Strategies for Lake Trout Rehabilitation: a Synthesis
Published on January 1, 1995
The goal of lake trout rehabilitation efforts in the Great Lakes has been to reestablish inshore lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) populations to self-sustaining levels. -

Published on January 1, 1995
Lake trout restoration efforts in Lake Ontario have resulted in an abundance of spawning fish of hatchery-origin but virtually no detectable natural recruitment. -
Review of Genetics of Lake Trout in the Great Lakes: History, Molecular Genetics, Physiology, Strain Comparisons, and Restoration Management
Published on January 1, 1995
This paper reviews historical differences among native lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) populations, genetic comparisons of populations, heritability of physiological traits, performance ofstrains after stocking, and the role of genetics in management. -
