Estimation Of Harvest Rate And Vulnerability From Age And Sex Data, J. E. Pahoheimo, David Fraser
Estimation Of Harvest Rate And Vulnerability From Age And Sex Data, J. E. Pahoheimo, David Fraser
Wildlife Population Management Collection
A nonlinear least-squares procedure is developed to estimate harvest rate and differential vulnerability in wildlife populations that are harvested with 1 segment of the population more able than another. The method requires age data by category from a series of harvests, plus information on accumulated harvest effort, and assumes that the nonharvest mortality rate is the same for the categories. The data need not be from consecutive harvests, as long as the effort is known for missing Monte Carlo simulations were done to verify the estimation procedure. An example shows the application of the method to moose (Alces alces) harvest …
A Case Study: Neighborhood Ii Conservation Plan, Alice Brooks-Giles
A Case Study: Neighborhood Ii Conservation Plan, Alice Brooks-Giles
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
This study was initiated to demonstrate how declining neighborhoods can be revitalized through the cooperation and Partnership of local residents, financial institutions, and local government. The Neighborhood II Conservation Plan assumes that interested and informed residents can plan their own environment just as they plan their own family affairs and budget their incomes. The plan further assumes that residents working together as a team can revitalize their neighborhood at the point of decline. This study pursues various approaches to neighborhood preservation which may be useful to other cities.

The Coyote (Canis Latrans) In Panama, Eustorgio Méndez, Francisco Delgádo, Demetrio Miranda
Conservation Collection
This report reveals that the coyote, Canis Iatrans, has recently extended its southern range to Panama. The skin of one adult female coyote killed by hunters at Los Pirales, a farm near Gualaca in Chiriqui Province, western Panama, has been deposited in the Gorgas Memorial Laboratory Vertebrate Collection. Other coyotes have been observed in Alanje, Boquete and Boqueron, other localities of the same province. The probable range of the coyote in Panama is indicated, and the need for an urgent management strategy for this canid in the Republic is also expressed.
Getting Educated At The Zoo, Nancy Heneson
Getting Educated At The Zoo, Nancy Heneson
Zoos and Aquariums Collection
In this issue we present three papers that deal with the subject of the zoo. Although the focal concern of each paper is different and the positions of the authors range from whole-hearted support of the institution to frank skepticism, all express a belief in the potential educational value of zoos. This editorial, however, has a different premise. It is not meant to criticize the other papers, but rather to raise questions from another point of view.
An Overview Of Zoo Goals And Exhibition Principles, Randall L. Eaton
An Overview Of Zoo Goals And Exhibition Principles, Randall L. Eaton
Zoos and Aquariums Collection
It is not uncommon among progressive-minded zoo professionals these days to hear disdain for the function of zoos as recreational. This attitude is understandable in that traditionally, zoos have done little but offer amusement along with parklands or picnic facilities. The progressive zoo person sets his or her goals above the old-fashioned recipe of crowding as many exotic animals as possible into an amusement-oriented menagerie to an authentic theme for exhibition intended to educate the public, offer research possibilities, and preserve and propagate species. Nevertheless, recreation remains a primary function of zoos. Most zoo visitors do not seek education in …
Injuries To Birds Of Prey Caught In Leghold Traps, Katherine Durham
Injuries To Birds Of Prey Caught In Leghold Traps, Katherine Durham
Conservation Collection
173 birds of prey, including 32 Bald Eagles, have been treated for trapping injuries at the University of Minnesota Raptor Research and Rehabilitation Program since 1972. These were birds caught primarily in "open" bait /eghold sets incidental to furbearer trapping in the Minnesota region. The differential outcome of the injuries with respect to crippling or mortality is presented for large versus small raptors, toe versus leg injuries, and fracture of the leg versus soft tissue damage only.
There is only limited potential for mitigating the effects of trapping injuries to raptors because of the irreversible soft tissue damage usually associated …
The Role And Responsibility Of Zoos: An Animal Protection Viewpoint, John E. Cooper
The Role And Responsibility Of Zoos: An Animal Protection Viewpoint, John E. Cooper
Zoos and Aquariums Collection
The aim of this paper is to look at zoological collections from the viewpoint of the animal and, in particular, to draw attention to areas where welfare considerations should be paramount. I do not intend to cover the capture and transportation of zoo animals, although this is obviously of great importance and must be included in any overall consideration of the welfare of zoo animals. In this paper, however, I shall concentrate upon the care of the animal within the zoo environment.

In Zusammenarbeit von sowjetischcn und mongolischen Bryologen werden gegenwärtig die in Leningrad befindlichen Aufsammlungen bearbeitet. Ergebnisse darüber sind in der Arbeit von ABRAMOVA und TSEGMED (1975) veröffentlicht. Ein umfangreicherer Beitrag zur Bryof1ora konnte durch die Bearbeitung der von W. SCHUBERT gesammelten 464 Moosproben aus den zentralen und westlichen Landschaften der MVR erbracht werden, Von R. SCHUBERT, W. SCHUBERT, und KOPERSKI wurden 1977 12 Leber- und 88 Laubmoosarten für diese Gebiete nachgewiesen. Weitere Nachweise stellen GROLLE, MEINUNGER, HILBIG und HUNECK (i. Dr.) zusammen. Es muß aber auch hier betont werden, daß damit nur ein erster Anfang zur Erforschung der Moosflora der …

Erforschung biologischer Ressourcen der Mongolei / Exploration into the Biological Resources of Mongolia, ISSN 0440-1298
Die Entwicklung der Hydrobiologie in der MVR vollzog sich unter ständiger Orientierung an den volkswirtschaftlichen Interessen des Landes. Deshalb wurde neben grundlegenden Forschungen zu Fauna und Ökologie der Gewässer besonderes Gewicht auf die Akklimutisierung von Nutzfischen gelegt. Die dazu notwendigen Kenntnisse der hydrobiologisch bisher weitgehend unerforschten Seen der Mongolei erbrachten mehrjährige Expeditionen in verschiedenen Gebieten des Landes. Den gemeinsamen Biologischen Chövsgöl-Expeditionen der Universitäten Irkutsk und Ulan-Balor kommt dabei eine besondere Rolle zu. Am See Chövsgöl entstand auch die erste hydrobiologische Station der MVR. Die rasche Entfaltung der Hydrobiologie in den letzten zwanzig Jahren dokumentiert eine Reihe bedeutender wissenschaftlicher Publikationen ebenso …

Erforschung biologischer Ressourcen der Mongolei / Exploration into the Biological Resources of Mongolia, ISSN 0440-1298
Seit mehr als 20 Jahren führen Biologen der Staatlichen Mongolischen Universität Ulan-Bator und von Akademie-Instituten der Mongolischen Volksrepublik gemeinsam mit Zoologen und Botanikern befreundeter wissenschaftlicher Partnereinrichtungen insbesondere der DDR, der UdSSR, der CSSR sowie der Volksrepublik Ungarn in großem Umfang Expeditionen zur Erforschung der biologischen Ressourcen der MVR durch. Im Rahmen dieser Expeditionen wurde unter anderem ein umfangreiches Arthropodenmaterial gesammelt, dessen Bearbeitung einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Erschließung der mongolischen Entomofauna darstellt. Von besonderer Bedeutung sind die Veröffentlichungen in der bereits auf 7 Bände angewachsenen Publikationsreihe "Nasekomye Mongolii" (Leningrad), die Ergebnisse der Expeditionen von Dr. Z. KASZAB (Budapest) sowie jene der …

Erforschung biologischer Ressourcen der Mongolei / Exploration into the Biological Resources of Mongolia, ISSN 0440-1298
Mit zwei großen komplexen biologischen Sammelexpeditionen 1962 und 1964 der Akademien der Wissenschaften der DDR und MVR in die Süd- und Westmongolei wurde der Grundstein für die kontinuierliche Entwicklung der Wissenschaftskooperation auf biologischem Gebiet zwischen beiden Staaten gelegt. Die Kollektionen wurden zum Grundstock eines aufzubauenden botanischen und zoologischen Sammlungsfundus in Ulan-Bator. Durch den Freundschaftsvertrag zwischen den Universitäiten Halle und Ulan-Bator im Jahre 1967 wurden die Kontakte neu aktiviert. Nach anfänglich sporadischen Studienaufenthalten und Expeditionsreisen von Einzelwissenschaftlern wurde das Forschungsprogramm auf biologischem Gebiet im Rahmen dieses Freundschaftsvertrages recht bald auf Schwerpunktaufgaben ausgerichtet, die sich lückenlos in das Forschungsprofil des mongolischen Vertragspartners …

Erforschung biologischer Ressourcen der Mongolei / Exploration into the Biological Resources of Mongolia, ISSN 0440-1298
First paragraph:
Die Landschaften der Mongolei sind arm an Reptilien- und Amphibienarten. Dieser Umstand mag die Frage aufwerfen, ob herpetologische Untersuchungen in Beschränkung auf das Territorium der MVR eine nennenswerte Perspektive haben könnten, nachdem Artenspektrum und Verbteitung der Species annähernd vollständig erkundet sind. Ein Herpetologe wird zweifellos für seine Arbeit auch in diesem Land eine Zukunft sehen, doch muß wohl von vornherein eingestanden werden, daß das Volumen der Probleme dieses Faches hinter denen der übrigen Disziplinen der Vertebratenzoologie und der Entomologie in einem bescheidenerem Rahmen verbleibt. Dies gilt sowohl im rein wissenschaftlichen als erst recht auch im angewandten Bereich ihrer …

First paragraph:
Wenn die Mongolische Staatliche Universität Ulan-Bator ihrem 40. Gründungstag entgegengeht, der folgerichtig in dem revolutionären Aufbruch aus einer alten Geschichte des mongolischen Volkes in eine sozialistische Gessellschaft begründet liegt, so treffen sich seit über einem Jahrzehnt in diesem wissenschaftshistorischen Zeitraum auch Wissenschaftler und Studenten der Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg mit ihren mongolischen Kollegen und Freunden der Mongolischen Staatlichen Universität Ulan-Bator zu geistiger Begegnung und gemeinsamer wissenschaftlicher Arbeit. Sie entspringt den gleichen Zielen einer sozialistischen Gesellschaft, Bildung, Kultur und Wissenschaft zur allseitigen Entwicklung der Persönlichkeit, zur stetigen Verbesserung des Volkswohlstandes, für Völkerverständigung und sozial-historischen Fortschritt zu entfalten.
Roadside Zoos Are Not Zoos
Close Up Reports
The HSUS was one of the first national animal welfare organizations to take a long, hard look at all zoos, including roadside menageries. During the last nine years, we have worked intensively, conducting zoo inspections, public education and awareness programs, and developing a working relationship with the professional zoological community as well as U.S. Government agencies charged with the welfare of animals.

Definition Of The Concept Of "Humane Treatment" In Relation To Food And Laboratory Animals, Bernard E. Rollin
Definition Of The Concept Of "Humane Treatment" In Relation To Food And Laboratory Animals, Bernard E. Rollin
Animal Welfare Collection
The very title of this talk makes a suggestion which must be forestalled, namely the idea that laboratory and food animals enjoy some exceptional moral status by virtue of the fact that we use them. In fact, it is extremely difficult to find any morally relevant grounds for distinguishing between food and laboratory animals and other animals and, far more dramatically, between animals and humans. The same conditions which require that we apply moral categories to humans rationally require that we apply them to animals as well. While it is obviously pragmatically impossible in our current sociocultural setting to expect …
Bringing Nature Into The Zoo: Inexpensive Solutions For Zoo Environments, David Hancocks
Bringing Nature Into The Zoo: Inexpensive Solutions For Zoo Environments, David Hancocks
Zoos and Aquariums Collection
Animals in captivity have traditionally been kept in sterile and inappropriate environments. Typically this situation still prevails in zoos. Cages are designed only for restraint of the animals, expediency for the public, and convenient maintenance by keepers. The animals' behavioral needs are often ignored. By using nature as a norm, and by using natural materials, the spatial and temporal environment of a captive animal can be easily and greatly enriched. Several examples which have been used at Woodland Park Zoological Gardens are discussed. Their application and expansion are appropriate for most urban zoos.
Agricultural Land Search Behavior: A Study Of Agricultural Relocation In The Niagara Fruit Belt, Peter J. De Boer
Agricultural Land Search Behavior: A Study Of Agricultural Relocation In The Niagara Fruit Belt, Peter J. De Boer
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
This thesis identifies and examines how people look for farms. In it the actual search rather than the decision to seek additional or alternative locations is the focus. It is estimated that the sample of farmers interviewed and surveyed consists of 50 per cent of those who had undergone the process of relocation/expansion in the past two years in the Niagara region of Ontario. The analytic framework used is adopted from a case study of intra-urban mobility. Therefore, this study is an attempt to transpose those urban concepts to an agricultural situation. Five important sets of variables of farmers are …

Homeless Cats And Dogs Are Suffering And Dying
Homeless Cats And Dogs Are Suffering And Dying
Close Up Reports
Last year more than 13 million homeless cats and dogs were euthanized at humane societies and municipal animal shelters. As a statistic, 13 million may be meaningless. But think of it another way. Think of the 13 million as individual animals with individual personalities--each with their own beating heart, each with their own wretched story of how they found their way to the animal shelter. Each one was an individual breathing creature whose life was ended because there was no home to go to.

The Parmo De Berlin, Colombia: A Study Of Water Resources In A Rural Andean Community, Daniel Bodo
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The condition of water resources in the rural Andean community of Berlin, Colombia, was explored for the purpose of future development in the area. Through investigation of water acquisition techniques, use, and water discharge methods, combined with analysis of chemical water quality tests, the overall pattern of water resources in the study area was revealed. Although the methods of acquiring water were not found to be especially damaging to water quality, the use, and more importantly, the methods of discharging waste water suggested a water resource base harboring certain questionable qualities. The quality of surface waters, as revealed through analysis …
