CHAPTER 5
What is adaptive management?
Special class of structured decision making for recurrent decision made
under certainty
•
Be familiar with the case study of wolf hunting management in Montana.
*Read in textbook - very long
•
Chapter 6 –
Why is scale important to wildlife ecology?
Scale is a metric that refers to the spatial or temporal dimensions of an
object, pattern, or process
•
Determining the ecologically relevant spatial scales for predicting species
occurrences is an important concept when determining species-
environment relationships
•
Species distribution modeling should consider all ecologically relevant
spatial scales
•
What is landscape ecology?
Landscape ecology is the science of studying and improving relationships
between ecological processes in the environment and particular
ecosystems. This is done within a variety of landscape scales,
development spatial patterns, and organizational levels of research and
policy.
