Download or read book Polar Bears written by IUCN/SSC Polar Bear Specialist Group. Working Meeting and published by IUCN. This book was released on 2006 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These proceedings provide an overview of the ongoing research and management activities on polar bears in the circumpolar arctic. Together with the previous 13 proceedings, they provide an historic record of international efforts in protecting, studying and managing polar bears. With recent documentation of how warmer arctic climate might affect the sea ice habitat of polar bears, the predictions of even warmer climate in the next decades, and documentation of effects on polar bears subpopulations, an evaluation of the red list status of polar bear subpopulations was followed by an increased conservation designation of vulnerable. In the complexity of possible interactions between climate change, local harvest, and in some areas high levels of pollutants, an increased level of international cooperation was advocated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The NOAA RC proposes to construct a partially submerged tidal barrier (sill) at the mouth ofthe Parsons Slough Channel. The purpose of the project is to reduce tidal scour in Parsons Slough and improve essential fish habitat for Coastal Pelagic and Pacific Coast Groundfish species. Construction of the sill requires vibratory and impact pile driving to install sheet pile and end-bearing piles into the seafloor. No impacts to ESA-listed marine mammals under NMFS' jurisdiction are expected to occur. However, non-ESA listed harbor seals may ... experience Level B harassment due to noise from pile driving activities. Impacts are expected to be short term and include avoidance, masking, and interruption of behavioral activities (e.g., resting) at time of exposure. The National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS) proposes to issue an Incidental Harassment Authorization (IHA) to permit incidental take of small numbers of marine mammals pursuant to Section 101(a)(5)(D) ofthe Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA)"--Cover letter.

Download or read book Ethology and Behavioral Ecology of Odontocetes written by Bernd Würsig and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-08-02 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book concentrates on the marine mammalian group of Odontocetes, the toothed whales, dolphins, and porpoises. In 23 chapters, a total of 40 authors describe general patterns of ethological concepts of odontocetes in their natural environments, with a strong bent towards behavioral ecology. Examples are given of particularly well-studied species and species groups for which enough data exist, especially from the past 15 years. The aim is to give a modern flavor of present knowledge of ethology and behavior of generally large-brained behaviorally flexible mammals that have evolved quite separately from social mammals on land. As well, the plight of populations and species due to humans is described in multiple chapters, with the goal that an understanding of behavior can help to solve or alleviate at least some human-made problems.
