Coyotes Nipping At Our Heels: A New Suburban Dilemma, Robert M. Timm Oct 2006

Coyotes Nipping At Our Heels: A New Suburban Dilemma, Robert M. Timm

Triennial National Wildlife and Fisheries Extension Specialists Conference: 11th (2006)

In the 1970s, coyote attacks on humans in urban and suburban environments began to occur, primarily in Southern California. Such attacks have increased in number, and since the late 1980s coyote attacks on people have been reported from at least 16 additional states and 4 Canadian provinces. Attack incidents are typically preceded by a sequence of increasingly bold coyote behaviors, including attacks on pets during daylight hours. In suburban areas, coyotes can habituate to humans as a result of plentiful food resources, including increased numbers of rabbits and rodents, household refuse, pet food, water from ponds and landscape irrigation run-off, …

Realizing The Potential Of Family Forests: Tools To Facilitate Habitat Conservation, Drue Deberry, Julie H. Moore

Triennial National Wildlife and Fisheries Extension Specialists Conference: 11th (2006)

The management of family-owned forests is discussed in light of conservation issues and development pressures. Safe Harbor Agreements and Candidate Conservation Agreements with Assurances are voluntary tools that can be used to protect conservation values, particularly habitat for threatened or endangered species. A case history of forest management practices to sustain the gopher tortoise in the Southeast is given.

Saving The World One Native Plant At A Time, Christopher E. Moorman, Christopher S. Deperno Oct 2006

Saving The World One Native Plant At A Time, Christopher E. Moorman, Christopher S. Deperno

Triennial National Wildlife and Fisheries Extension Specialists Conference: 11th (2006)

Wildlife habitat is lost as the human population and land clearing for development increase in the South. Remaining habitats are fragmented and contain high numbers of invasive, exotic plants. Suburban, manicured landscapes often lack the plant diversity and complex vegetation structure important to wildlife. Generally, developers and homeowners replant cleared grounds with exotic plants that don’t provide quality wildlife habitat. Instead, individual home or property owners can mitigate wildlife habitat loss in urban areas by landscaping with native plants following proper design principles. Furthermore, many people taking action over a large area (e.g., across a neighborhood) will help connect small …

Approaches For Delivering Integrated Forestry And Wildlife Extension Programs: The Missouri Woodland Steward Short Course And Missouri Master Wildlifer Program, Robert A. Pierce Ii, H. E. Stelzer Oct 2006

Approaches For Delivering Integrated Forestry And Wildlife Extension Programs: The Missouri Woodland Steward Short Course And Missouri Master Wildlifer Program, Robert A. Pierce Ii, H. E. Stelzer

Triennial National Wildlife and Fisheries Extension Specialists Conference: 11th (2006)

Extension educational programs related to the stewardship of Missouri’s natural resources have been identified as a priority in the MU College of Agriculture Food and Natural Resource’s “Extension Base Program” (MU CAFNR 2001). Citizens own approximately 94% of the land in the state and therefore manage most of the natural resource base, including forests, agricultural lands, prairies and grasslands, wetlands, streams, and other natural habitats. Abundant natural resources, renewable and nonrenewable alike, provide for agriculture and timber production as well as recreational opportunities, each of which are directly or indirectly responsible for a majority of the economic activity within Missouri. …

The Center For Human-Wildlife Conflict Resolution At Virginia Tech: A Model Of Future Use, James A. Parkhurst Oct 2006

The Center For Human-Wildlife Conflict Resolution At Virginia Tech: A Model Of Future Use, James A. Parkhurst

Triennial National Wildlife and Fisheries Extension Specialists Conference: 11th (2006)

The Center for Human-Wildlife Conflict Resolution, located at Virginia Tech, was created in mid-2004 to bring together representatives of state and federal agencies, private sector practitioners, non-governmental organizations, researchers, educators, and other stakeholders common to most human-wildlife conflicts as a means to facilitate and expedite the process of attaining realistic and publicly acceptable solutions to human-wildlife conflicts. The Center has four critical missions: coordination, information transfer, research, and training. Participating partners (i.e., members) in the Center adopted upon an Advisory Board organizational model and operate under a “majority rule” protocol. Increased awareness and understanding of the missions, regulatory mandates, and …

South Dakota Bison Go To War: Preservation Success And The Politics Of Surplus , David Nesheim Oct 2006

South Dakota Bison Go To War: Preservation Success And The Politics Of Surplus , David Nesheim

Department of History: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

By 1920, the recovery of the American Bison was assured. Due to the biology of buffalo, the question facing managers of the protected herds in South Dakota was how to manage population growth. In response to the mandate of the South Dakota State legislature for economic self-sufficiency, Custer State Park chose to develop a market in meat. In the 1930s, Wind Cave National Park distributed surplus animals to the Pine Ridge Reservation, creating another herd. With the entry of the United States into World War Two, the demand for bison meat escalated as a result of shortages in the domestic …

The Case For American History In The Law-School Curriculum, Harold P. Southerland Oct 2006

The Case For American History In The Law-School Curriculum, Harold P. Southerland

ExpressO

This article argues for the teaching of American History throughout the first year of law school. I do not believe that students can fully understand the cases they are reading in other courses without a knowledge of environing context. Understanding American History -- which is many respects doesn't paint a flattering picture -- may also help students in making fundamental choices about what role they wish to play in their careers as lawyers. I believe it is time to recognize that too much of the profession is run as a business and not as a noble calling dedicated to helping …

A Comparative Analysis Of The Chronic Effects Of Fine Particulate Matter, Sorina E. Eftim, Holly Janes, Aidan Mcdermott, Jonathan M. Samet, Francesca Dominici Oct 2006

A Comparative Analysis Of The Chronic Effects Of Fine Particulate Matter, Sorina E. Eftim, Holly Janes, Aidan Mcdermott, Jonathan M. Samet, Francesca Dominici

Johns Hopkins University, Dept. of Biostatistics Working Papers

The American Cancer Society study (ACS) and the Harvard Six Cities study (SCS) are the two landmark cohort studies for estimating the chronic effects of fine particulate matter PM2.5 on mortality. To date, no comparative analysis of these studies has been carried out using a different study design, study period, data, and modeling approach. In this paper, we estimate the chronic effects of PM on mortality for the period 2000-2002 by using mortality data from Medicare and \PM levels from the National Air Pollution Monitoring Network for the same counties included in the SCS and the ACS. We use a …

Bayesian Hidden Markov Modeling Of Array Cgh Data, Subharup Guha, Yi Li, Donna Neuberg Oct 2006

Bayesian Hidden Markov Modeling Of Array Cgh Data, Subharup Guha, Yi Li, Donna Neuberg

Harvard University Biostatistics Working Paper Series

Genomic alterations have been linked to the development and progression of cancer. The technique of Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) yields data consisting of fluorescence intensity ratios of test and reference DNA samples. The intensity ratios provide information about the number of copies in DNA. Practical issues such as the contamination of tumor cells in tissue specimens and normalization errors necessitate the use of statistics for learning about the genomic alterations from array-CGH data. As increasing amounts of array CGH data become available, there is a growing need for automated algorithms for characterizing genomic profiles. Specifically, there is a need for …

Ecological Analysis Of A System Of Organized Interests, Paul E. Johnson Oct 2006

Ecological Analysis Of A System Of Organized Interests, Paul E. Johnson

Department of Political Science: Hendricks Symposium

This is a report on a long-term research project about the evolution of system of political organizations. An agent-based computer simulation model is developed with the aim of exploring the inter-connection between tools and concepts from the field of political science with the emerging field of complex systems analysis and the simulation of ecological processes. In political science, we can draw on the exchange theory of interest group formation as well as research on the so-called “ecology of organizations.” Many of the individual level premises that are implicit in the political models are made explicit by considering the interest group …
