Book excerpt: Pilots are an integral part of the success of aerial moose population surveys in Ontario. The objective of this manual is to help pilots understand the survey process better and to increase consistency of population estimates and cost efficiency through a more rigorously standardized protocol. It includes a survey program overview and advice on pre-survey planning, flying the survey, and post-flight debriefing.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moose (Alces alces) aerial surveys provide the information needed for effective management only when they are accurate and precise. I aimed to identify gaps in and improve understanding of aerial moose surveys in North America by comparing survey techniques and exploring an application of thermal camera technology. Current aerial moose survey methods are compared in a jurisdictional review, including approaches to correcting visibility bias and a discussion of implementation of new technological advancements. Stratified random block (SRB) surveys are the most common, alongside distance sampling (DS) and other survey types. Thermal imagery, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) have been implemented into survey designs to improve the accuracy of estimates or logistics of the survey. Using a virtual population of moose derived from Newfoundland aerial moose survey observations, a simulation of SRB and two DS surveys is used to compare accuracy, precision, and effort of each survey type. DS survey transects are spaced 1000- and 5559-m apart, and both survey types are sampled at high (~3 moose/km2) and medium (~1 moose/km2) densities. Accuracy is used as the bias in the simulation and statistically significant differences in precision and effort occur for each survey type. The final chapter focuses on the use of thermal and colour cameras for locating moose and explores a 22-km2 study site located at La Verendrye Provincial Park, Ontario. Collared moose travelling from Grand Portage Indian Reservation in Minnesota are visible in colour and thermal orthophotos. Moose thermal hotspots are computed from the thermal imagery, in a automated model. Hotspots were then examined manually. Two thermal hotspots over open water are misidentified as moose and 19 of 20 moose in the imagery were correctly identified by the automated search. Management implications of the study are that DS is a viable alternative to SRB surveys and that thermal aerial imagery is limited to animal counts without correction. Under the simulated conditions, DS performs comparably to SRB surveys and is possibly less expensive, or at least less variable in cost. Manual identification of moose by viewing colour imagery is still required to complement a thermal-imagery system, and sexing moose is not achievable from orthophotos alone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An instructional manual and field guide for estimating population parameters (size, rate of change, recruitment, sex composition, and mortlality) for moose in the circumpolar northern boreal forest, the subalpine zone, and the north coastal shrub zone. Such knowledge of population dynamics is essential for moose management.
Download or read book A Guide to Conducting Aerial Sketchmapping Surveys written by Timothy J. McConnell and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this guide is to describe general procedures used by experienced aerial survey specialists to collect forest health data via sketchmapping. It is not intended to be a specific "how to" manual for all types of aerial surveys, nor replace training in aviation safety and management, on-the-ground field training, or apprenticeship flight time during regular aerial surveys. Rather, it is a "guide" to the aspects of flying and sketching that make up sketchmapping, presenting a comprehensive overview of aerial overview surveys and a general review of aerial survey sketchmapping methodology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monitoring moose (Alces alces) populations is a key component of wildlife management in Alaska. In response to reports of recent difficulties implementing the existing techniques for monitoring moose, an interagency work group identified the monitoring techniques currently in use, characterized technique performance, and examined commonality and geographic patterns of problems encountered when applying techniques in the field. Field biologists engaged in monitoring moose in Alaska were emailed an online questionnaire designed to organize information about overall program satisfaction, population parameters monitored, techniques for estimating parameters, and current impediments to monitoring. During 2007-2017, biologists failed to complete 42% of scheduled surveys to estimate abundance (n = 295 surveys, 42 respondents). Survey failure rates differed across ecoregions: failure rates were highest in the Kenai/Southcentral (57%), Eastern Interior (43%) and Coastal Subarctic (41%) ecoregions, but lower rates of survey failure were reported for Western Interior (20%) and Arctic Slope (15%) ecoregions of Alaska. Patterns of survey failure were similar for composition. Lack of adequate snow cover and poor flying weather were the first and second most commonly cited reasons, respectively, for failure to complete scheduled surveys. Where surveys were successfully completed, estimates generally had less precision than desired, with only 50% of respondents achieving intended precision goals for abundance estimation. Biologists indicated a strong willingness to use a new method for monitoring moose if it 1) did not rely on complete snow cover, 2) was more accurate, 3) provided higher precision, 4) provided continuity with previous estimates, 5) could be used where inclement flying weather is frequent, 6) could be used in areas with dense vegetative cover, 7) was accompanied by technical assistance or a user manual, and 6) was similar in cost to existing methods. They indicated mild unwillingness to use a new method that 1) used ground observations, 2) required hunters to turn in specimens, 3) used helicopters for aerial observation, or 4) required more resources than current methods. These results highlight the need to develop new survey and measurement techniques that can be conducted independently of problematic snow and weather conditions, or at least have far more flexibility in implementing survey protocols. Indeed, the problem of monitoring moose in areas with poor snow conditions is so challenging and pervasive that solutions may require a concentrated, cooperative effort among agencies, including practical feedback from field biologists. Precision of existing techniques may also be improved through better optimization of survey design, the integration of more historical population information in estimation, and perhaps by better clarifying precision requirements relative to program goals.

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.
