Analysis of Capture-Recapture Data

Biology and Management of White-tailed Deer

Byron J. T. Morgan and Rachel S. McCrea

Edited by

University of Kent, Canterbury, UK

David G. Hewitt

Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Interdisciplinary Statistics

Written for researchers and graduate students in statistics, demography, and the social sciences, this reference provides an overview of capture-recapture—the statistical methods used to estimate population size. It covers model development and examines the technicalities of model diagnostics, an often overlooked aspect in practice. The authors provide examples to demonstrate the statistical nuances that are encountered with complex modeling. They use real-world data sets throughout the text and include stand-alone software programs, such as R and WinBUGS. Chapters contain exercises to assist with reader assimilation of the material.

This comprehensive reference focuses on the white-tailed deer, the most studied large mammal species in the world. It covers the evolutionary history of the species; its anatomy, physiology, and nutrition; population dynamics; and ecology across its vast range. The text also presents a history of management beginning with Native Americans and progressing through management by Europeans, population lows in the early 1900s, restocking efforts through the mid-1900s, growing populations through the late 1900s, to a species that is overabundant and becoming difficult to manage.

This book spells out the theoretical structure, methodology and philosophy of the science of autecology. The autecological approach focuses on the interactions of individual organisms (and their species-specific adaptations) with the spatiotemporal dynamics of their environment as a basis for interpreting patterns of diversity and abundance in natural systems. This organism-based approach to ecological interpretation provides a strong alternative to more traditional approaches and relates mechanistically to the underlying disciplines of anatomy, physiology, and behavior. The book includes illustrations, specific examples, graphs, maps, and other diagrams. Print ISBN: 978-1-4822-1414-7 December 2013, 6-1/8 x 9-1/4, 475 pp. Suggested Price: $129.95 / £82.00

Ecology

Wolves are considered controversial figures worldwide: mythical creatures as well as troublemakers. Conservation efforts on their behalf are often polarizing. In recent years much effort has focused on the discussion of how to conserve large carnivores, such as wolves, while addressing public concerns. Compared to the grey wolf, little is known about the maned wolf, the peculiarities of its relationship with local people and the environment, and the reasons for its decline, making research about the species an urgent concern. This book gathers the work of the leading researchers in the field about different aspects of maned wolf conservation (feeding ecology, distribution, people’s attitudes, habitat studies, conservation projects for the species in and ex situ) and also provides innovative perspectives for the future of conservation strategies (education, human dimensions, ethno conservation) worldwide.

Statistical Geoinformatics for Human Environment Interface Wayne L. Myers and Ganapati P. Patil The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Applied Environmental Statistics

Environmental Statistics / Hazardous Materials 32

Illustrating the interdisciplinary nature of geoinformatics, this book presents two paradigms (localization and multiple indicators) for the spatial analysis of human influences and environmental resources.

Resource Management & Sustainability

Increasingly, social-environmental decision making is like playing a multidimensional game of chess. Facing complex interactions between the atmosphere, the litho-hydrosphere, and the biosphere, policy makers and managers need a systemic approach to decision making. Replacing the dysfunctional, symptomatic thinking that has plunged the world into environmental crises, the new paradigm of systemic decision making fosters social-environmental sustainability. Based on the author’s more than 45 years of research and international experience, it guides readers to work with, rather than within, theoretical and methodological frameworks to achieve multidimensional and multilayered policy decisions.

The management of warm-season turfgrasses is important to golf course superintendents, sports turf managers, lawn care professionals, and educators. These professionals are continuously introducing new cultivars and seeking new species with qualities such as drought resistance and salt tolerance. As environmental concerns increase, the turfgrass industry will have to be more selective of species and cultivars for location, use, and management qualities. This book presents the first comprehensive treatment of all warm-season turgrasses. It also provides information on soil salinity, irrigation and water management, and construction and irrigation in Southern climates.

This book focuses on how the ecology and biology of soil organisms is affected by the addition of biochar to soils. It covers direct and indirect effects of biochar addition to soils, on the soil carbon cycle, impact on plant resistance to foliar and soilborne disease, interactions with pathogenic, mycorhizal and saprophytic fungi. The book focuses on application of biochar to remediate polluted soils, taking into account possible toxic effects of biochar on soil fauna. One of the chapters provides extended information on the role of biochar in soil using isotopic tracing techniques.

The Metabolism of Arsenite Edited by

Joanne M. Santini and Seamus A. Ward University College London, UK Series: Arsenic in the environment

Arsenite contamination of drinking water is a major cause of chronic illness and mortality in many countries, but until recently little was known of the processes determining its movement and concentration. Bacterial oxidation of arsenite was first described in 1918 and thought to be a means of detoxification. It was not until 2000 that the first autotrophic arsenite-oxidising bacterium was isolated and shown to gain energy from arsenite oxidation. Since then, a wide range of such bacteria has been isolated and the literature on the topic has grown rapidly. This book reviews the new understanding of the diversity and abundance of such organisms, their role in arsenic cycling in the environment, and their possible relations with arsenic-dependent diseases in humans.

In tropical areas, residual soil layers are often extensive and may continue downwards for hundreds of meters before unweathered rock is reached. Since most foundations, excavations, and embankments are built on such soils, and as residual soils are often used as construction materials, it is vital that the properties and peculiarities of tropical residual soils are well understood. This handbook is a complete reference for engineers working in soil and foundation engineering in tropical areas. Many aspects of tropical residual soils are discussed, including a range of engineering applications. Region- and country-specific sections are included, which examine typical characteristics and soil conditions.

Unsaturated Soil Mechanics in Geotechnical Practice

Advances in Geo-Spatial Information Science

Geoffrey E Blight

Edited by

University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa

Wenzhong Shi

There are other books on unsaturated soil mechanics, but this book is different. In most climatic zones, rainfall varies during the year and the depth of the water table also varies. In applying unsaturated soil mechanics in practice, it is therefore important to realize and allow for the probability that soil will, either seasonally or occasionally, pass from the unsaturated to the saturated state and even from unsaturation to dryness. This is the only book that looks specifically at this essential practical aspect.

It includes a broad variety of numerical methods for solving the partial differential equations that express the laws governing these flows, and a variety of real-world phenomena described by such equations.

Lidia Razowska-Jaworek Series: IAH - Selected Papers on Hydrogeology

Calcium and magnesium are abundant in groundwater, but the role of groundwater as the essential source of these important nutrients is very often neglected. Hydrogeochemical studies are focused mainly on distribution and behavior of constituents that cause deterioration of water quality, such as nitrate, iron, and manganese. Therefore, most recent books and papers concentrate mainly on these water components and only a small number of papers describe results of groundwater studies on valuable water components such as calcium or magnesium. Calcium and magnesium are of great importance to human health and inadequate intake of either nutrient can impair health. The main objective of this IAH Selected Papers book is to present the results of the studies on calcium and magnesium in groundwater as well as their importance for human health.

Impact of Climate Change on Water and Health Edited by

Velma I. Grover Since the hydrological cycle is so intricately linked to the climate system, any change in climate impacts the water cycle in terms of change in precipitation patterns, melting of snow and ice, increased evaporation, increased atmospheric water vapor, and changes in soil moisture and run off. Consequently, climate change could result in floods in some areas and droughts in others. The quality of water affects the quality of life, food security, and health security. This book examines the impact of climate change on water as well as health.

Rainwater Harvesting for Agriculture in the Dry Areas Theib Y. Oweis CGIAR/ICARDA, Aleppo, Syria

Competences in context Knowledge and capacity development in public water management in Indonesia and The Netherlands; UNESCO-IHE PhD Thesis Judith Kaspersma UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education, Delft, The Netherlands

This book presents the investigation into the role of Knowledge and Capacity Development (KCD) in public water resources management in Indonesia and the Netherlands. A historical analysis of two cases indicates that the institutional environment is defining for the type of KCD that is prevailing in a certain period and it also determines the formal organizational structure and the KCD mechanisms in use. The cases show the importance yet low valuation of tacit knowledge. The text offers insight into the numerous contextual factors that influence KCD.

Water Resource Management

Management of Drip/Trickle or Micro Irrigation

Pedro Martinez-Santos and Maite M. Aldaya Ramón Llamas Complutense University and Water Observatory at The Marcelino Botín Foundation Madrid, Spain

This book provides a down-to-earth approach to the elusive concept of integrated water resources management, drawing from conceptual frameworks and reallife practice to identify the key aspects that are yet to be resolved. Integrated water resources management (IWRM) advocates a coordinated approach for managing water resources in a way that balances social and economic needs with care for nature. While attractive, IWRM is both controversial and elusive. Critics argue that IWRM is too vague a concept to be meaningful, and that it lacks a sufficiently coherent series of steps leading to its implementation. Drawing from theoretical frameworks and relevant case studies, this book examines the role of water accounting, food trade, environmental externalities and intangible values as key aspects whose resolution will help the IWRM community move forward.

Water Resource Management / Wetlands

Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences, Germany Series: Sustainable Energy Developments

This book provides an overview of possible cost-efficient techniques and application opportunities for different scales. It shows why the implementation of these technologies faces numerous technological, economic, and policy barriers and gives suggestions how these hurdles can be overcome. Costs of novel treatment units using renewable energy sources are discussed and compared with those of other technologies for clean water production considering external costs, such as environmental and social costs, which are caused by using fossil-fuel-based technologies. Energy efficiency is highlighted since it is of special importance in systems that are to be powered by renewable energy. Moreover, applications of water supply systems providing water in emergency condition is discussed.

Wetland Landscape Characterization

can we square the circle?

Practical Tools, Methods, and Approaches for Landscape Ecology, Second Edition

Edited by

Lucia De Stefano Botin Foundation & Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain

M. Ramon Llamas Complutense University and Water Observatory at The Marcelino Botín Foundation Madrid, Spain

Ricardo D. Lopez, John G. Lyon, Lynn K. Lyon, and Debra K. Lopez

This book explores whether Spain’s water problems are due to bad governance rather than physical water scarcity. It examines the growing need for maintaining Spain’s natural capital and the human component of water governance—people’s needs, wishes, (vested) interests, and aspirations—which often determine the result of decisions and, sometimes, lead water management to a deadlock. This book takes a step forward in showing a more complex, and also closer to reality, picture of water governance in Spain.

This book provides practical tools and methods to help practitioners more effectively locate, identify, and map the extent of wetlands, and therefore better understand the importance of wetlands to society and the larger landscape. The authors address jurisdictional, regulatory, and practical applications from the scientific, engineering, and lay perspectives. Numerous techniques, examples, figures, and lessons learned supply the ideas and solutions necessary for solving the complex issues associated with wetlands. This second edition has been updated throughout and includes more techniques, examples, and illustrations.
