Wolves: behavior, ecology, and conservation / Mech, L.David (Ed.) (2006)  

Public ISBD Titre : Wolves: behavior, ecology, and conservation Type de document : livre Auteurs : Mech, L.David (Ed.), Éditeur scientifique ; Boitani, Luigi (Ed.), Éditeur scientifique Editeur : Chicago : University of Chicago Press Année de publication : 2006 Importance : 448 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-226-51697-4 Note générale : Cop. 2003 The University Press, publ. 2003, paperback ed. 2006 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animal behavior  Animal ecology  Resource conservation  Wolves Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : Wolves are some of the world’s most charismatic and controversial animals, capturing the imaginations of their friends and foes alike. Highly intelligent and adaptable, they hunt and play together in close-knit packs, sometimes roaming over hundreds of square miles in search of food. Once teetering on the brink of extinction across much of the United States and Europe, wolves have made a tremendous comeback in recent years, thanks to legal protection, changing human attitudes, and efforts to reintroduce them to suitable habitats in North America. As wolf populations have rebounded, scientific studies of them have also flourished. But there hasn’t been a systematic, comprehensive overview of wolf biology since 1970. In Wolves, many of the world’s leading wolf experts provide state-of-the-art coverage of just about everything you could want to know about these fascinating creatures. Individual chapters cover wolf social ecology, behavior, communication, feeding habits and hunting techniques, population dynamics, physiology and pathology, molecular genetics, evolution and taxonomy, interactions with nonhuman animals such as bears and coyotes, reintroduction, interactions with humans, and conservation and recovery efforts. The book discusses both gray and red wolves in detail and includes information about wolves around the world, from the United States and Canada to Italy, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Israel, India, and Mongolia.

Roads and ecological infrastructure: concepts and applications for small animals / Kimberly M. Andrews (2015)  

Public ISBD Titre : Roads and ecological infrastructure: concepts and applications for small animals Type de document : livre Auteurs : Kimberly M. Andrews, Éditeur scientifique ; Priya Nanjappa, Éditeur scientifique ; Seth P. D. Riley, Éditeur scientifique Editeur : Baltimore, Maryland : Johns Hopkins University Press Année de publication : 2015 Autre Editeur : Bethesta, Maryland [USA] : The Wildlife Society Collection : Wildlife management and conservation Importance : 281 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4214-1639-7 Prix : 75.00 USD Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Wildlife conservation  Animal behavior  Wildlife crossings  Roads  Infrastructure Résumé : Few of us think twice about driving on roads. Yet the very presence of roads and the act of driving on them can impact the ecological infrastructure that supports an animal’s daily life. What chance does a turtle have of successfully laying its eggs when it needs to traverse a busy highway? Is it realistic to expect small mammals to breed when an interstate thoroughfare subdivides their population? These are the sorts of challenges faced by small, often slow-moving, animals, challenges that road engineers and ecologists are trying to address. For countless small species, vehicles traveling at high speeds are nothing less than missiles shooting across migration pathways. For too many animals, the danger can lead to the loss of populations, in part because they simply are not programmed to react to traffic. Salamanders faced with a two-lane road between the forest and their aquatic breeding site, for example, will typically cross that road regardless of the congestion. The result can be hundreds of flattened animals in a single night. Roads and Ecological Infrastructure is the first book to focus on reducing conflict between roads and small animals. Highlighting habitat connections and the challenges and solutions from both transportation and ecological perspectives, the volume covers various themes, including animal behavior related to roads and design approaches to mitigate the negative effects of roads on wildlife. The chapter authors—from transportation experts to university researchers—each promote a goal of realistic problem solving. Conceptual and practical, this book will influence the next decade or more of road design in ecologically sensitive areas and should prevent countless unnecessary wildlife fatalities.
