Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overall hunter demand for deer on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, has not changed significantly in the last 10 years, although demand has increased in five communities on the island. These five communities each experienced a decline in household median income between 1989 and 1999. In communities with a smaller percentage of Native Alaskans, deer was a larger component of their subsistence harvest. The cashbased market economy on Prince of Wales Island is in transition as the dependence on logging and commercial fishing declines. The subsistence economy in Alaska has traditionally provided security to residents during lulls or downturns in the market economy. Overall employment opportunities in southeast Alaska are projected to decline between 2000 and 2010. An area of projected growth, however, is in tourism and recreationbased employment, from which residents on the island may be able to benefit. Change in employment opportunities may change demand for deer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I examined the interactions of key components of a hunting system of Sitka black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus sitkensis) on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska to address concerns of subsistence hunters and to provide a new tool to more effectively monitor deer populations. To address hunter concerns, I documented local knowledge and perceptions of changes in harvest opportunities of deer over the last 50 years as a result of landscape change (e.g., logging, roads). To improve deer monitoring, I designed an efficient method to sample and survey deer pellets, tested the feasibility of identifying individual deer from fecal DNA, and used DNA-based mark and recapture techniques to estimate population trends of deer. I determined that intensive logging from 1950 into the 1990s provided better hunter access to deer and habitat that facilitated deer hunting. However, recent declines in logging activity and successional changes in logged forests have reduced access to deer and increased undesirable habitat for deer hunting. My findings suggested that using DNA from fecal pellets is an effective method for monitoring deer in southeast Alaska. My sampling protocol optimized encounter rates with pellet groups allowing feasible and efficient estimates of deer abundance. I estimated deer abundance with precision (±20%) each year in 3 distinct watersheds, and identified a 30% decline in the deer population between 2006-2008. My data suggested that 3 consecutive severe winters caused the decline. Further, I determined that managed forest harvested >30 years ago supported fewer deer relative to young-managed forest and unmanaged forest. I provided empirical data to support both the theory that changes in plant composition because of succession of logged forest may reduce habitat carrying capacity of deer over the long-term (i.e., decades),and that severity of winter weather may be the most significant force behind annual changes in deer population size in southeast Alaska. Adaptation at an individual and institutional level may be needed to build resilience into the hunting system as most (>90%) of logged forest in southeast Alaska transitions over the next couple of decades into a successional stage that sustains fewer deer and deer hunting opportunities"--Leaf iii-iv.

This book was released on 2023-04-27 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black-tailed and mule deer represent one of the largest distributions of mammals in North America and are symbols of the wide-open American West. Each chapter in this book was authored by the world’s leading experts on that topic. Both editors, James R. Heffelfinger and Paul R. Krausman, are widely published in the popular and scientific press and recipients of the O. C. Wallmo Award, given every two years to a leading black-tailed and mule deer expert who has made significant contributions to the conservation of this species. In addition, Heffelfinger has chaired the Mule Deer Working Group sponsored by the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies for more than 15 years. This working group consists of the leading black-tailed and mule deer experts from each of 24 states, provinces, and territories in western North America, putting them at the forefront of all conservation and much of the research on this species. The book represents all current knowledge available on these deer, including how changing conditions such as fires, habitat alteration and loss, disease, climate change, socio-economic forces, energy development, and other aspects are influencing their distribution and abundance now and into the future. It takes a completely fresh look at all chapter topics. The revisions of distribution, taxonomy, evolution, behavior, and new and exciting work being done in deer nutrition, migration and movements, diseases, predation, and human dimensions are all assembled in this volume. This book will instantly become the foundation for the latest information and management strategies to be implemented on the ground by practitioners and to inform the public. Although this book is about deer, the topics discussed influence most terrestrial wildlife worldwide, and the basic concepts in many of the chapters are applicable to other species.

Download or read book North Pacific Temperate Rainforests written by Gordon Orians and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North Pacific temperate rainforest, stretching from southern Alaska to northern California, is the largest temperate rainforest on earth. This book provides a multidisciplinary overview of key issues important for the management and conservation of the northern portion of this rainforest, located in northern British Columbia and southeastern Alaska. This region encompasses thousands of islands and millions of acres of relatively pristine rainforest, providing an opportunity to compare the ecological functioning of a largely intact forest ecosystem with the highly modified ecosystems that typify most of the world's temperate zone. The book examines the basic processes that drive the dynamic behavior of such ecosystems and considers how managers can use that knowledge to sustainably manage the rainforest and balance ecosystem integrity with human use. Together, the contributors offer a broad understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by scientists, managers, and conservationists in the northern portion of the North Pacific rainforest that will be of interest to conservation practitioners seeking to balance economic sustainability and biodiversity conservation across the globe.
