Introduction: effective management and protection of wildlife populations depends on human understanding of the relationship between wildlife populations and habitats. The destruction and fragmentation of habitats reduces the living area of local communities, limits them to small habitats, and isolates wildlife populations, leading to increased intra-reproductions, reduced genetic diversity, an...
متن کاملThe Wildlife Habitat Response Model : A Tool for Estimating Terrestrial Wildlife Habitat Responses to Fuel Treatments
This paper describes the Wildlife Habitat Response Model (WHRM), a web-based computer tool for evaluating potential effects of fuel reduction projects on terrestrial wildlife habitats in dry coniferous forests of the western United States. WHRM uses species-habitat associations to predict how fuel treatments may affect species habitat suitability. Users input the amount of change in forest floo...

Status determination of wildlife habitats is very important in conservation programs and management of wildlife. So, in this study Ursus arctos habitat suitability was modeled using maximum entropy algorithm (MaxEnt) in Shimbar protected area. In order to model the habitat suitability, after investigating and resolving the spatial autocorrelation of occurrence records, spatially independent loc...
متن کاملDeveloping a Multiscale Fire Treatment Strategy for Species Habitat Management
Reintroducing fire to manage vegetation and fuel may have poorly understood consequences for wildlife. Prescribed burning can reduce down wood and snags that provide critical habitat and mechanical thinning designed to reduce fire hazards may alter forest structures that are preferred by some species. Moreover, fine scale fuel treatments may alter wildlife and habitat dynamics within the larger...

Development of roads through protected areas and ecological sensitive regions can have catastrophic effects on wildlife. In Iran, road construction in sensitive habitats and protected areas has been expanding during the past decades. This study focuses on the ecological impacts of Isfahan’s west ringway, which passes through Ghamishloo wildlife refuge, I.U.C.N category IV, in Isfahan Province. ...
