RNR 1001 : RNR Test 3
Document Summary
Domesticated: process where a population of organisms is changed at the genetic level, through selective breeding to get traits that benefit humans. Wildlife management- activates that directly and indirectly influence size and structure of free-ranging undomesticated animals: protecting, preserving, managing, studying wildlife, hunting. Effective wildlife conservation requires extensive knowledge of: niches if organisms inhabiting terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, values, attitudes, demographics of human user groups, habitat structure, succession, and responses to human disturbance. Habitat(cover): territory, habitat composition & complexity (edge & corridors: home range- habitat used for typical activities", habitat (reproductive habitat, availability of nesting, den habitat & food sources. Population dynamics: life history strategy & birthrates: b+i-d-e, natality- # of offspring / 1000 females / year, population growth potential, mortality and lifespan. Population dynamics: life history strategy: age at first reproduction, average maximum age, parental care, important for survival, megapodes.
