Critical assessment of claims regarding management of feral cats by trap-neuter-return.
Many jurisdictions have adopted programs to manage feral cats by trap-neuter-return (TNR), in which cats are trapped and sterilized, then returned to the environment to be fed and cared for by volunteer caretakers. Most conservation biologists probably do not realize the extent and growth of this practice and that the goal of some leading TNR advocates is that cats ultimately be recognized and ...
متن کاملCosts and benefits of trap-neuter-release and euthanasia for removal of urban cats in Oahu, Hawaii.
Our goal was to determine whether it is more cost-effective to control feral cat abundance with trap-neuter-release programs or trap and euthanize programs. Using STELLA 7, systems modeling software, we modeled changes over 30 years in abundance of cats in a feral colony in response to each management method and the costs and benefits associated with each method . We included costs associated w...

متن کاملAcademic institutions in the United States and Canada ranked according to research productivity in the field of conservation biology.
Conservation biology is a young, but quickly maturing, scientific discipline currently under much scrutiny (Meine et al. 2006). Recent studies highlight what conservation biologists publish (Fazey et al. 2005a), who publishes in the field (Fazey et al. 2005b; Harrison 2006), and where and in what systems conservation research occurs (Lawler et al. 2006). At the same time conservation biology ha...
متن کاملتاریک امّا نه سیاه: پاسخی به زارعی، قربانی و غریبی (1395)
Zarei, Ghorbani, and Gharibi (2016) reviewed the construct of the Dark Triad in a review article. The current paper is a response to these authors. Hereby, we argue that the proposed translations of these authors into Persian language are technically problematic. In addition to shortcomings in literature review, Machiavellianism and psychopathy are not ...
