Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first International Conference on the Biology of Deer Production was held at Dunedin, New Zealand in 1983. That meeting provided, for the first time, a forum for those with interests in either wild deer management or farmed deer production to come together. Scientists, wild deer managers, domestic deer farmers, veterinarians, venison and antler product producers, and others were able to discuss common problems and to share their knowledge and experience. The relationships formed at that meeting, and the information amassed in the resulting Proceedings, sparked new endeavors in cervid research, management, and production. A great deal has taken place in the world of deer biology since 1983. Wild deer populations, although ever increasing in many areas of the world, face new hazards of habitat loss, environmental contamination, and overexploitation. Some species are closer to extinction than ever. Game managers often face political as well as biological challenges. Many more deer are now on farms, leading to greater concerns about disease control and increased needs for husbandry information. Researchers have accumulated considerable new in formation, some of it in areas such as biochemical genetics, not discussed in 1983.

Book Ecology of White Tailed Deer in Illinois

Download or read book Ecology of White Tailed Deer in Illinois written by Alan Woolf and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ecology of White-Tailed Deer in Illinois: Final Report W-63-R(si)31; July 1, 1986 Through June 30, 1989 Annual hunter harvests are often the deer manager's primary source of information regarding the herd, and there are a variety of techniques and methodologies for the analysis of harvest data. These methods, which range from Sophisticated mathematical treatments to simple intuitive interpretation, vary widely with respect to input requirements, output produced, and underlying assumptions. There is not general agreement as to which techniques are most applicable in given situations. In fact, there is a marked tendency for individual agencies to adopt and utilize a particular method (or variation thereof) to the exclusion of all others. Often, the accuracy and/or precision of these can only be assumed in the absence of verification with known data. Downing recognized this problem and suggested that: we need to look at a herd where we know what's happening in order to find out what data are most useful [for detecting what has happened or predicting what will In the Opinion of Davis and Winstead The failure of wildlife investigators to check population estimators against a known population is a deplorable situation.

Book The Science of Overabundance

Download or read book The Science of Overabundance written by William J. Mcshea and published by Soho Press. This book was released on 2003-01-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Easily the most common of America’s large wildlife species, white-tailed deer are often referred to as "overabundant." But when does a species cross the threshold from common to overpopulated? This question has been the focus of debate in recent years among hunters, animal rights activists, and biologists. William McShea and his colleagues explore every aspect of the issue in The Science of Overabundance. Are there really too many deer? Do efforts to control deer populations really work? What broader lessons can we learn from efforts to understand deer population dynamics? Through twenty-three chapters, the editors and contributors dismiss widely held lore and provide solid information on this perplexing problem.

Book The George Reserve Deer Herd

Download or read book The George Reserve Deer Herd written by Dale R. McCullough and published by . This book was released on 2001-11 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic was first published in 1979. In 1928, six white-tailed deer were introduced to the Edwin S. George Reserve, a two-square-mile fenced area in southeastern Michigan. Six years later, in 1933, the first drive census showed 160 deer. This remarkable growth of deer population became a landmark in the young field of wildlife management. In this book, the author reassessed the results of previous studies on this deer herd done over the years and reported on his own studies over a twelve-year period. The latter period involved an intensive effort to elucidate the relationship of population density to birth and survival of offspring. The author's empirical population model, derived from his experiments, is compared to traditional population models used in ecology. The book is an account of the methods used, analyses performed, and models synthesized from the population data gathered at the Reserve. "I think this book is a must for all wildlife managers and for others interested in the population biology of large mammals. It should also be valuable to those generally interested in animal population ecology as it reads well and presents techniques and philosophical perspectives that are important beyond the narrowest perspective of white-tailed deer. McCullough's book will be widely quoted, and thus a necessary addition to many of our personal libraries." Journal of Mammology 62(1), 218 "The book is well written. Research workers, professors of population dynamics, and simulation modelers will all find this book of great value." Journal of Range Management 33(4) 318 "A technically sound, thorough evaluation of the subject matter makes this book a valuable contribution in the field of large mammal ecology and management."
