This book was released on 2015 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Predator-prey interactions are dynamic and complex with implications for predators, prey, and entire ecological communities. Though predation has obvious mortality costs for prey, equally strong non-consumptive impacts of predation have been the focus of recent studies. Not only are prey affected by their predators through both consumption and fear of predation, but predators are driven by selection to respond to prey behavior. Here, we show how habitat decisions made by highly mobile predators and prey are dynamically linked. In our study system, recreational hunters (predators) make decisions about where to hunt based on a variety of resources (potential prey abundance, proximity to home) and we show that hunters preferentially select hunting locations where the density of primary habitat for their prey, the Ring-necked Pheasant (Phasianus clochicus), is greatest despite other resources (roads, towns). Targeted habitat selection by hunters as well as distinct periods of prey availability due to regulated hunting seasons create a spatially and temporally variable environment of predation risk in which prey are capable of responding. Female pheasants increased their home range size and shifted the center of their core home range in response to high risk at the onset of the hunting season. However, these responses diminished over time. Male mortality during the first few weeks of the hunting season further confirmed the short-term impacts of high hunting pressure early in the season, though this effect diminishes over time with hunting having compensatory mortality effects on pheasant populations by the close of the hunting season. Our data demonstrate factors influencing both predator and prey habitat decisions and give a more holistic view of a predator-prey interaction with implications for wildlife managers concerned with maintaining healthy populations of both predator and prey.

Book excerpt: Hunting regulations are assumed to moderate the effects of hunting consistently across a game population. A growing body of evidence suggests that hunter effort varies temporally and spatially, and that variation in effort at multiple spatial scales can affect game populations in unexpected ways. We set out to determine the causes of variation in hunting effort among ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) hunters at four spatial scales: among regions within the state of Nebraska, among sites within a given region, among access points at a given site, and among habitat patches within a site. At each scale, pheasant hunters used direct and indirect information about pheasant relative abundance to make spatial decisions, but the sources of information used varied with scale. At the state scale, pheasant hunter use was positively correlated with relative pheasant abundance, and percent coverage of wetlands, Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) grasslands, and row crops. Within a given region, hunters were most likely to hunt CRP grasslands, as opposed to wildlife management areas, corroborating evidence that hunters associate CRP with pheasant abundance. Sites surrounded by a higher concentration of row crops, a potential food source for pheasants, also received higher use. At the access point scale, hunter space use was positively correlated with proximity to roads and public access signs, but declined near occupied structures and livestock, indicating that hunters responded to the spatial distribution and content of public access infrastructure. Within fields, hunter space use was positively correlated with pheasant detections, and negatively associated with correlates of metabolic cost and distance from crop fields. Our findings indicate that hunters are strongly influenced by cues of public land access and pheasant abundance, suggesting that if it is desirable to direct or mitigate the flow of hunter effort through public lands, this objective may be accomplished by managing the cues available to hunters without explicitly limiting access to public lands.
Download or read book The Wildlife Techniques Manual written by Nova J. Silvy and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 1133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its original publication in 1960, The Wildlife Techniques Manual has remained the cornerstone text for the professional wildlife biologist. Now fully revised and updated, this seventh edition promises to be the most comprehensive resource on wildlife biology, conservation, and management for years to come. Superbly edited by Nova J. Silvy, the thirty-seven authoritative chapters included in this work provide a full synthesis of methods used in the field and laboratory. Chapter authors, all leading wildlife professionals, explain and critique traditional and new methodologies and offer thorough discussions of a wide range of relevant topics, including: • experimental design • wildlife health and disease • capture techniques • population estimation • telemetry • vegetation analysis • conservation genetics • wildlife damage management • urban wildlife management • habitat conservation planning A standard text in a variety of courses, the Techniques Manual, as it is commonly called, covers every aspect of modern wildlife management and provides practical information for applying the hundreds of methods described in its pages. To effectively incorporate the explosion of new information in the wildlife profession, this latest edition is logically organized into a two-volume set: Volume 1 is devoted to research techniques and Volume 2 focuses on management methodologies. The Wildlife Techniques Manual is a resource that professionals and students in wildlife biology, conservation, and management simply cannot do without.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents the biology of six species of New World quails that are native to North America north of Mexico (mountain, scaled, Gambel's, California, and Montezuma quails, and the northern bobwhite), three introduced Old World partridges (chukar, Himalayan snowcock, and gray partridge), and the introduced common (ring-necked) pheasant. Collectively, quails, partridges, and pheasants range throughout all of the continental United States and the Canadian provinces. Two of the species, the northern bobwhite and ring-necked pheasant, are the most economically important of all North American upland game birds. All of the species are hunted extensively for sport and are highly popular with naturalists, birders, and other outdoor enthusiasts.
