Richard B. Harris draws on twenty years of experience working in China, and incorporates perspectives ranging from biology through Chinese history and tradition, to interpret wildlife conservation issues in a cultural context. In non-technical language, Harris shows that, partic…
This is a close-up look at the socio-political context of large carnivores and their management in western Wyoming south of Yellowstone National Park, including the southern part of what is commonly recognised as the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
The southern portion of the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR), including the Des Moines Lobe of northwest and north-central Iowa, is predicted to become increasingly important to breeding waterfowl as climatic changes drive a southeastward shift in wetland distribution. The history o…
The integration of genetic and environmental information can help wildlife managers better understand the factors affecting a species’ population structure and their response to disturbance. This thesis uses genetic techniques to assess the broad and fine scale population struct…
Coastal sharks represent a group of stocks for which observation, assessment, and management are particularly challenging. Large distributional ranges, complex migratory behavior, low economic value, and relatively few observations in fishery independent surveys hinder relative …
Yellow-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua sulphrea) provides an interesting case for investigating such a conservation paradox that a critically endangered species introduced to a non-native area is likely to establish in the exotic location. The native population of Yellow-crested Cocka…
