Resolving Conflicts With Canada Geese: An Animal Welfare Perspective, John Hadidian, Michele Childs, Nancy Perry, Patricia Lane Oct 2000

Resolving Conflicts With Canada Geese: An Animal Welfare Perspective, John Hadidian, Michele Childs, Nancy Perry, Patricia Lane

Wildlife Damage Management Conference Proceedings

The scope and significance of human conflicts with urban and suburban Canada goose populations has been growing rapidly since the mid 1980s. A lack of basic understanding about the biology and ecology of locally abundant goose populations has led, in part, to argument between opposing camps over the appropriate approaches and methodologies to resolve human-goose conflicts. Animal welfare interests have focused on the humaneness of roundup and slaughter programs, and advocated non-lethal approaches coupled with what they view as the more benign population control activity of egg addling. Some traditional wildlife managers have argued that non-lethal approaches have been tried …

A Comparison Of Grass Covers And Meadow Vole Populations In North Carolina, William T. Sullivan, John G. Vandenbergh Oct 2000

A Comparison Of Grass Covers And Meadow Vole Populations In North Carolina, William T. Sullivan, John G. Vandenbergh

Wildlife Damage Management Conference Proceedings

Meadow vole (Microtus pennsylvanicus) populations were monitored in an experimental field for three years by mark and recapture in western North Carolina. The field was planted with 3 different species of grasses: Ky 31 fescue (Festuca arundinacea L.), blue grass (Poa protensis L.), and creeping red fescue {Festuca rubra L.). Voles were free to range from grass to grass due to adjacent plots in the design. Vole populations were highest in Ky 31 and blue grass, and lowest in creeping red fescue. Meadow voles strongly preferred Ky 31 fescue, a grass with high moisture content and a growth pattern compatible …

Variation Of White-Tailed Deer Home Ranges In Fragmented Urban Habitats Around Chicago, Illinois, Brian P. Piccolo, Karmen M. Hollis, Richard E. Warner, Timothy R. Van Deelen, Dwayne R. Etter, Chris Anchor Oct 2000

Variation Of White-Tailed Deer Home Ranges In Fragmented Urban Habitats Around Chicago, Illinois, Brian P. Piccolo, Karmen M. Hollis, Richard E. Warner, Timothy R. Van Deelen, Dwayne R. Etter, Chris Anchor

Wildlife Damage Management Conference Proceedings

Behavior of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) has been studied extensively in refuges and agricultural regions, although little research has focused on deer in urban environments. Dramatic urbanization and development fragments habitat available for wildlife species and deer densities often exceed ecosystem carrying capacity in remnant natural areas. This may impact deer social behavior and spatial home range patterns. We radio-marked 21 female white-tailed deer in the Des Plaines and Palos Forest Preserves near Chicago, Illinois to study spatial use of deer relative to conditions in urban forest preserves. Telemetry locations were collected once per week and included both day and …

Investigations Of Methods To Reduce Damage By Voles, Gary W. Witmer, A. A. Hakim, Brian W. Moser Oct 2000

Investigations Of Methods To Reduce Damage By Voles, Gary W. Witmer, A. A. Hakim, Brian W. Moser

Wildlife Damage Management Conference Proceedings

Voles (Microtus spp.), small burrowing rodents, range over much of North America. Populations cycle and achieve peak densities every 3-5 years. This can result in severe damage to various resources: orchards, forest plantings, alfalfa and other crops, ornamentals, lawns, and gardens. A variety of methods are used to reduce vole damage, but there is still a need for new, cost-effective, and environmentally benign approaches. We investigated numerous candidate repellents and barriers with indoor vole colonies in soil-filled tanks. Several compounds (blood meal, capsaicin, castor oil, coyote urine, quebracho, and thiram) showed promise as repellents, but only at high concentrations. Many …

On The Measurement Of Rent Seeking And Its Social Opportunity Cost, Russell S. Sobel, Thomas A. Garrett Oct 2000

On The Measurement Of Rent Seeking And Its Social Opportunity Cost, Russell S. Sobel, Thomas A. Garrett

Economics Faculty Working Papers Series

Utilizing 4-digit industry data by county, we compare the allocation of resources across industries in state capital areas with noncapital areas. We are able to identify which industries are expanded and contracted relative to noncapital areas. Our results provide the first direct evidence and measurement of the forgone productive activity resulting from resources being reallocated toward rent seeking and interest group activity. Our data also allow us to measure total rent seeking, and also to isolate the extent of indirect and in-kind rent seeking, which can account for part of the Tullock paradox.

Preparation Of Mesoporous Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia (Ysz) And Ysz-Nio Using A Triblock Copolymer As Surfactant, Fanglin Chen, Meilin Liu Oct 2000

Preparation Of Mesoporous Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia (Ysz) And Ysz-Nio Using A Triblock Copolymer As Surfactant, Fanglin Chen, Meilin Liu

Faculty Publications

Mesoporous yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and YSZ-NiO have been prepared for the first time using Pluronic P103 as a structure-directing agent and inorganic chlorides as precursors in a nonaqueous medium. After being fired at 500°C for 2 h, mesostructured YSZ has a BET surface area of about 146 m2 g-1, with an average pore size of 3.8 nm, while mesostructured YSZ-NiO has a BET surface area of about 108 m2 g-1, with an average pore size of 4.5 nm.
