The ability of remote sensing applications to accurately differentiate priority vegetation types was evaluated on a 664-hectare habitat management unit on Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge, located in Marshall County in northwest Minnesota. The Refuge is a diverse complex of wetland and upland habitats, largely inaccessible by foot. Its relative inaccessibility, coupled with the known occurrence...

This report contains abridged evidence given at a hearing. The Minister of Conservation had objected to a proposed District Plan Change which would have sanctioned extensive subdivision near the Waipu Spit Wildlife Refuge. The Minister's evidence focused on natural values of the area, including wildlife values, history of management at the site, and the implications of the proposed subdivision ...

Recreational carrying capacity addresses the issue of how much and what types of recreation can be accommodated in parks and related areas without unacceptable impacts. Contemporary approaches to carrying capacity rely on formulation, monitoring, and management of indicators and standards of quality. Recreational carrying capacity of Lake Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge, located in northern Ne...

Physiological stress responses allow individuals to adapt to changes in their status or surroundings, but chronic exposure to stressors could have detrimental effects. Increased stress hormone secretion leads to short-term escape behavior; however, no studies have assessed the potential of longer-term escape behavior, when individuals are in a chronic physiological state. Such refuge behavior i...

Effective management of endangered or threatened wildlife requires an understanding how foraging habitats are used by those populations. Molecular diet analysis fecal samples offers a cost-effective and non-invasive method to investigate diets wild populations vary with respect spatial temporal factors. For the federally Indiana bat ( Myotis sodalis ), documenting its preferred food sources can...

Since its establishment in 1903, the National Wildlife Refuge System (NWRS) has grown to 635 units and 37 Wetland Management Districts in the United States and its territories. These units provide the seasonal habitats necessary for migratory waterfowl and other species to complete their annual life cycles. Habitat conversion and fragmentation, invasive species, pollution, and competition for w...
