The Collaborative Partnership on Sustainable Wildlife Management (CPW) is a voluntary partnership of international organizations with substantive mandates and programmes for the sustainable use and conservation of wildlife resources. The mission of the CPW is to increase cooperation and coordination among its members and other interested parties on sustainable wildlife management to promote the...

Based on an extensive review of the literature, and broad consultation with experts, we have assessed the sensitivity of Bornean vertebrates to the direct and indirect effects of timber harvest. Wellimplemented selective logging has a relatively limited direct impact on wildlife populations: few species appear quite sensitive, some benefit, some decline. However, current management practices in...

three nearly simultaneous events around the end of the 19th century, i.e., the discovery of x‐rays by roentgen in 1895, natural radioactivity by antoine‐henri becquerel in 1896 and isolation of radium by the curies' in 1898 opened the nuclear era which has changed broadly the worlds of physics, biology and medicine. at the close of the 20th century, fundamental discoveries in biology at mo...

Acknowledgments The following individuals contributed text that appears in the guide as sidebars: Some of the sidebars in this guide use brief excerpts from previously published materials. Many of the ideas and applications discussed in this guide are direct products of New York's sustained commitment to understanding and integrating the human and biological dimensions of wildlife management. i...

A retrospective serosurvey was carried out between 2009 and 2012 to detect antibodies to Brucella spp. in free-ranging African wildlife ungulates from five selected game parks in Zimbabwe. Samples were drawn from wildlife-livestock interface and non-interface areas in Zimbabwe. A total of 270 serum samples from four different species, namely African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) (n =106), impala (A...

Several fertility control agents have recently been registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for management of wildlife or other free-ranging animals. The registration of GonaCon Immunocontraceptive Vaccine for use in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and OvoControl for use in Canada geese (Branta canadensis) and pigeons (Columba livia) has caused state wildlife and lan...

Wildlife disease has the potential to cause significant ecological, socioeconomic, and health impacts. As a result, all tools available need to be employed when host-pathogen dynamics merit conservation or management interventions. Evolutionary principles, such as evolutionary history, phenotypic and genetic variation, and selection, have the potential to unravel many of the complex ecological ...

State-and-transition models (STMs) are tools used in rangeland management to describe linear and nonlinear vegetation dynamics as conceptual models. STMs can be improved by including additional ecosystem services, such wildlife habitat, so that managers predict how local populations might respond state changes illustrate the tradeoffs managing for different services. Our objective was incorpora...
