Book Predicting Oil Spill Impacts on Southern Sea Otters  Enhydra Lutris Nereis

Download or read book Predicting Oil Spill Impacts on Southern Sea Otters Enhydra Lutris Nereis written by Emily A. Golson and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oil spills that unpredictably overlap with sea otter habitat are the most serious threat to 2,941 sea otters off coastal California. Multi-year radio telemetry data indicated that movements of individual sea otters generally were concentrated within areas of common use or focal centers within their home range, similar to terrestrial mammal den sites. Sea otters could encounter oil when moving within their focal centers inside the area of an oil spill or by traveling into the spill when transiting between focal centers. We better predicted the dynamic nature of sea otter-oil interactions than previous studies by quantifying the intersection of 1) 5-day simulations of sea otter population movements using a multi-state biased correlated random walk (BCRW) model with core dynamics driven by an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, and 2) 5-day trajectories of six hypothetical oil spill scenarios of a short-term, large volume oil spill. The sea otter-oil spill interaction model predicted that an oil spill off the central California coast during winter with average southeast prevailing winds would expose the greatest numbers of sea otters to spilled oil (810 individuals or 33% of the total simulated population) than a spill during spring or summer collectively (558 or 23%). Our integrative model can assist managers developing oil spill response plans and provides an example of how movement data can be used to quantify potential risks impacting nearshore ecological resources.

Book Wildlife Disease and Health in Conservation

Download or read book Wildlife Disease and Health in Conservation written by David A. Jessup and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides wildlife professionals with cutting-edge scientific information on the most damaging and newly emerging wildlife diseases. Wildlife diseases and their implications are at the forefront of many sectors of scientific endeavor, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nearly 60 percent of all human diseases and 75 percent of all emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic. Edited by pioneering wildlife veterinarians David A. Jessup and Robin W. Radcliffe, Wildlife Disease and Health in Conservation explores the origins and impacts of as well as the responses to the most damaging and persistent diseases currently threatening wildlife conservation. Focusing mainly on newer, invasive, and controversial wildlife health challenges, this book also reexamines classic diseases that provide warnings and important lessons for wildlife professionals and policy makers. Each chapter offers cutting-edge scientific information and extensive references to help readers plan for, respond to, and conduct research on these serious health challenges. This book: • Reports crucial findings on newly emerging diseases and how to recognize and manage them • Explores the health of critical but often neglected aquatic ecosystems, including both vertebrate and invertebrate examples • Covers a vast diversity of wildlife health threats, from epizootic bighorn sheep pneumonia and African swine fever to sea star wasting disease, avian influenza, and rabbit hemorrhagic disease • Explains zoonotic dangers to humans, including coronaviruses • Includes information on marine and aquatic species, wild ungulate species, carnivores and omnivores, birds, and more • Provides insight into the social, legal, financial, and political factors that may override or influence conservation priorities in response to biomedical challenges Featuring detailed and attractive field notes–style illustrations by Laura Donohue and essential essays from experts in the field, Wildlife Disease and Health in Conservation combines theory and practice to inform and inspire wildlife health and conservation.
