Costs and Threats of Invasive Species to Alberta's Natural Resources by A. S. McClay,Alberta. Alberta Sustainable Resource Development Pdf

This review focusses on invasive species affecting forestry, provincial grazing land, aquatic & wetland environments, and natural ecosystems in Alberta. Based largely on examination of the literature, major invasive species are listed under the following categories: terrestrial plants; terrestrial vertebrates; terrestrial invertebrates; aquatic organisms, including fish, plants, insects, mollusks, & protozoan parasites of fish; and plant & wildlife diseases. For each species, information is included on its status, geographic distribution, habitat, and economic & ecological impact. The review also discusses pathways & sources of new introductions and potential threats of new introductions in each species category. The final chapter presents an overall evaluation of invasive species & their impacts, pathways, and future risks. It also notes knowledge gaps.

Using Detection Dogs to Monitor Aquatic Ecosystem Health and Protect Aquatic Resources by Ngaio L. Richards Pdf

This book is about the varied range of emerging applications using specially trained detection dogs to monitor and protect aquatic ecosystems, animals, plants and related resources. Featuring contributions from those at the forefront of converging disciplines ranging from canine training, ecological and biological monitoring, water resource management, law enforcement, and eco-toxicology, it addresses everyone already immersed in these or related fields, and anyone seeking to gain a broader understanding of them. Chapters cover several common themes including monitoring presence/absence through biological and ecological surveys; maintaining and evaluating water quality; law enforcement and anti-poaching initiatives; public education, awareness and compliance; standards and best practices; optimal uses of dogs in relation to and in conjunction with other available tools and pragmatic considerations for selecting and working with dogs and handlers. The aim of the book is to stimulate new ideas, promote the sharing and dissemination of information and findings - and, ideally, to catalyze new and innovative partnerships, to strengthen the preservation and conservation of our aquatic heritage.

Harvest of Fish and Wildlife by Kevin L. Pope,Larkin A. Powell Pdf

Harvest of Fish and Wildlife: New Paradigms for Sustainable Management unites experts in wildlife and fishery sciences for an interdisciplinary overview of harvest management. This book presents unique insights for embracing the complete social-ecological system to ensure a sustainable future. It educates users on evolutionary and population dynamics; social and political influences; hunter and angler behavior; decision processes; impacts of regulations; and stakeholder involvement. Features: Written by twenty-four teams of leading scientists and managers. Promotes transparent justification for fishing and hunting regulations. Provides examples for integrating decision making into management. Emphasizes creativity in management by integrating art and science. This book appeals to population biologists, evolutionary biologists and social scientists. It is a key resource for on-the-ground managers and research scientists developing harvesting applications. As the book’s contributors explain: “Making decisions that are robust to uncertainty...is a paradigm shift with a lot of potential to improve outcomes for fish and wildlife populations.” –Andrew Tyre and Brigitte Tenhumberg “Temporal shifts in system states...must somehow be anticipated and dealt with to derive harvest policies that remain optimal in the long term.” –Michael Conroy “Proactive, effective management of sportspersons...will be essential in the new paradigm of harvest management.” –Matthew Gruntorad and Christopher Chizinski
