This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reported declines of many birds breeding in North America have stimulated interest in avian population trends and mechanisms driving those trends (DeSante and George 1994). The North American Breeding Bird Survey suggests that landbird populations in Pacific Northwest lateseral forests appear to be in serious decline (Sauer et al. 2003), and data from the national parks are particularly important for teasing out possible causes. Quantitative survey data for bird habitat usage and abundance at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park are currently lacking. Existing presence/absence data are insufficient for tracking population changes over time, or for gauging the effects of any future management actions that may alter habitat conditions. These goals require species-specific density estimates.

This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2003 The Institute for Bird Populations (IBP) collaborated with personnel at Mount Rainier National Park to initiate a two-year, park-wide, inventory of landbirds. The broad goals of the inventory were to elucidate spatial patterns of abundance across the park for a large suite of species, and to produce information that will assist park managers and cooperators in designing the park's long-term landbird monitoring program.

Book excerpt: In 2001 National Park Service, The Institute for Bird Populations, and Western Washington University initiated a two-year avian inventory of North Cascades National Park Service Complex (NOCA) to elucidate spatial patterns of abundance across the park for a large suite of species, and to produce information that will assist park managers and cooperators in developing the initial monitoring design for NOCA's long-term landbird monitoring program.
Download or read book Landbird Monitoring in the North Coast and Cascades Network written by National Park National Park Service and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2006 we conducted our second and final pilot field season to field-test and refine our Draft North Coast and Cascades Network Landbird Monitoring Protocol. The protocol requires annual survey effort consisting of an annual panel (34 transects) plus an alternating panel (another 34 transects) in the large parks-Mount Rainier National Park (MORA), North Cascades National Park Service Complex (NOCA), or Olympic National Park (OLYM) -and the completion of a grid of survey points at either of the smaller parks-San Juan Island National Historical Park (SAJH) or Lewis and Clark National Historical Park (LEWI)-which will be surveyed in alternating years. However, for this pilot year we reduced the effort and surveyed only the annual panel of transects in the large parks as well as the full survey grid at LEWI. Comprehensive results from the LEWI surveys are provided in a separate report (Siegel et al. 2009b). In the three large parks, we completed surveys at 446 point count stations arrayed along 33 transects-one intended transect went unsurveyed because heavy snowpack prevented access to it. Nevertheless, we were generally pleased with the ability of our surveyors to relocate point count stations established during our 2005 pilot field season (Siegel et al. 2006a).

This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2007 we fully implemented the landbird monitoring program in the North Coast and Cascades Network (NCCN) for the first time. The NCCN landbird monitoring protocol requires annual survey effort consisting of an annual panel (34 transects) plus one of five alternating panels (an additional 34 transects) in the large parks-Mount Rainier National Park (MORA), North Cascades National Park Service Complex (NOCA), or Olympic National Park (OLYM)-and the completion of a grid of survey points at either of the smaller parks-San Juan Island National Historical Park (SAJH) or Lewis and Clark National Historical Park (LEWI)-which are surveyed in alternating years. We previously surveyed the annual panel of transects in 2005 and 2006, during pilot field seasons devoted to protocol development and testing.

This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2009 we completed the third year of full implementation for the landbird monitoring project in the North Coast Cascades Network (NCCN). The NCCN landbird monitoring protocol requires annual survey effort consisting of an annual panel (34 transects distributed among Mount Rainier National Park [MORA], North Cascades National Park Service Complex [NOCA], and Olympic National Park [OLYM]) plus one of five alternating panels (an additional 34 transects distributed throughout MORA, NOCA, and OLYM) and the completion of a grid of survey points at either of the smaller parks-San Juan Island National Historical Park (SAJH) or Lewis and Clark National Historical Park (LEWI). SAJH and LEWI are to be surveyed in alternating years. In 2009 we surveyed the annual panel and the third alternating panel in the large parks, along with the point grid in San Juan Island National Historical Park.

Download or read book Gene Drives on the Horizon written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-08-28 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on gene drive systems is rapidly advancing. Many proposed applications of gene drive research aim to solve environmental and public health challenges, including the reduction of poverty and the burden of vector-borne diseases, such as malaria and dengue, which disproportionately impact low and middle income countries. However, due to their intrinsic qualities of rapid spread and irreversibility, gene drive systems raise many questions with respect to their safety relative to public and environmental health. Because gene drive systems are designed to alter the environments we share in ways that will be hard to anticipate and impossible to completely roll back, questions about the ethics surrounding use of this research are complex and will require very careful exploration. Gene Drives on the Horizon outlines the state of knowledge relative to the science, ethics, public engagement, and risk assessment as they pertain to research directions of gene drive systems and governance of the research process. This report offers principles for responsible practices of gene drive research and related applications for use by investigators, their institutions, the research funders, and regulators.

Download or read book A Handbook of Global Freshwater Invasive Species written by Robert A. Francis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 918 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invasive non-native species are a major threat to global biodiversity. Often introduced accidentally through international travel or trade, they invade and colonize new habitats, often with devastating consequences for the local flora and fauna. Their environmental impacts can range from damage to resource production (e.g. agriculture and forestry) and infrastructure (e.g. buildings, road and water supply), to human health. They consequently can have major economic impacts. It is a priority to prevent their introduction and spread, as well as to control them. Freshwater ecosystems are particularly at risk from invasions and are landscape corridors that facilitate the spread of invasives. This book reviews the current state of knowledge of the most notable global invasive freshwater species or groups, based on their severity of economic impact, geographic distribution outside of their native range, extent of research, and recognition of the ecological severity of the impact of the species by the IUCN. As well as some of the very well-known species, the book also covers some invasives that are emerging as serious threats. Examples covered include a range of aquatic and riparian plants, insects, molluscs, crustacea, fish, amphibians, reptiles and mammals, as well as some major pathogens of aquatic organisms. The book also includes overview chapters synthesizing the ecological impact of invasive species in fresh water and summarizing practical implications for the management of rivers and other freshwater habitats.
