Chapter 1:
• What is wildlife?
o Wildlife is not universally defined, but changes from user to user.
o Usually free living animals
o Includes associated plants and lower animals
o Species and their habitats are interlocked because you cant have one be
successful without the other
o The animal component considers all aspects of biology, ecology behavior,
genetics, physiology and life history characteristics
o One definition: any member of the animal kingdom, including without limitation
to any aal, fish, ird, aphiia, reptile, ollusk…
o wildlife: free ragig aials of ajor sigifiae to a
• What is the difference between active and passive management?
o Active management does something to the population-such as increasing or
decreasing the size- in a direct manner through strategies like translocations or
hunting respectively
▪ Can alter the habitat to benefit or detriment a population
o Passive management: some populations are too poorly understood that no
action is taken because managers do not have enough information to make an
informed decision. Even though nothing is being done directly they are still being
managed
• What are the four different goals of wildlife management?
o Increase populations through active and passive management by protection of
animals and there babies or by removing predators
o Decrease of population
o Manage the population to a sustained yield: hunting can be a tool for sustained
management, common management goal and is recreation for hunters
o Monitor: often time consuming and expensive, not considered until there is a
problem that has to be addressed
Chapter 11:
• What is basal metabolic rate?
o The energy used when animals are lying, calm, fasted and not thermally stressed
• What is the importance of protein?
o It is a major constituent of the animal body, enable movement of muscle fibers
and biochem reactions with enzymes
• Why is water important:
o Most essential nutrient for all wildlife and drives the ecological life
• What is body condition? Why is it important?
o Is a general term for an animals level of energy reserves and results from the
integration of nutrient requirements and food intake
