Book Description
El venado cola blanca (Odocoileus virginianus) es un animal silvestre que habita prácticamente en todo el Continente Americano. En México, prácticamente en todo el país, excepto en la Península de Baja California. Tiene alrededor de 500,000 años en su forma actual y 20 millones de evolución. Económicamente, es considerado el trofeo de cacería mayor más importante en todo el mundo. Presenta dimorfismo sexual al mostrar diferencias de forma, coloración y tamaño entre machos y hembras. Tiene hábitos crepusculares, pueden encontrarse en grupos de 2 a 6 y hasta 15 individuos. Tiene un órgano conocido como vomeronasal. Es un órgano auxiliar del sentido del olfato que le da al venado un sexto sentido y que es usado principalmente durante el apareamiento, para detectar sustancias secretadas por las hembras. Tiene hígado, pero no tiene vesícula biliar. Su carne es magra y bajo contenido de colesterol. Es rumiante y herbívoro. Forrajea la vegetación para consumir hojas, brotes, frutos y semillas, así como hongos. El hábitat se encuentra prácticamente en todos los hábitats, siempre que estos le proporcionen suficiente refugio y alimento. No es común en las partes más secas y abiertas del matorral xerófilo ni en las partes más densas y húmedas del bosque tropical perennifolio. Los microbios en el rumen, además de que sintetizan las vitaminas hidrosolubles del complejo B y la K que es liposoluble, hacen posible que el venado obtenga nutrientes que no son disponibles a los animales no rumiantes y convierten nitrógeno no proteico a proteína bacteriana, rica en aminoácidos.

Wildlife Ecology and Management in Mexico
Author: Raul Valdez
Publisher: Texas A&M University Press
ISBN: 1623497248
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 422
Book Description
Mexico is the fourteenth largest country in the world and ranks fifth in biodiversity. Located in the transition zone between the temperate and tropical regions of North and South America, Mexico is an important migratory corridor for wildlife and also provides wintering habitat for several species of bats, monarch butterflies, and temperate North American nesting birds. Mexico faces several challenges to wildlife management and conservation efforts. While there is increased public education and acknowledgment of the valuable benefits wildlife provides, there is still much work to do to incentivize conservation efforts. Fortunately, there is growing recognition that Mexico’s wildlife resources can be a critical component in the rural economic development of the country. Bringing together an international team of wildlife experts across North America, Wildlife Ecology and Management in Mexico provides information on the status, distribution, ecological relationships, and habitat requirements and management of the most important game birds and mammals in Mexico. It also reviews current threats and challenges facing wildlife conservation as well as strategies for resolving these issues. This reference is a valuable tool for wildlife biologists, wildlife management professionals, and anyone interested in conserving Mexico’s wealth of natural resources. By laying out the challenges to conservation research, editors Raul Valdez and J. Alfonso Ortega-S. hope to encourage interdisciplinary communication and collaboration across borders.

Biology and Management of White-tailed Deer

Languages : en
Pages : 668
Book Description
Winner of the Wildlife Society Outstanding Edited Book Award for 2013! Winner of the Texas Chapter of The Wildlife Society Outstanding Book Award for 2011! Winner of a CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title Award for 2011! Biology and Management of White-tailed Deer organizes and presents information on the most studied large mammal species in the world. The book covers the evolutionary history of the species, its anatomy, physiology, and nutrition, population dynamics, and ecology across its vast range (from central Canada through northern South America). The book then discusses the history of management of white-tailed deer, beginning with early Native Americans and progressing through management by Europeans and examining population lows in the early 1900s, restocking efforts through the mid 1900s, and recent, overabundant populations that are becoming difficult to manage in many areas. Features: Co-published with the Quality Deer Management Association Compiles valuable information for white-tailed deer enthusiasts, managers, and biologists Written by an authoritative author team from diverse backgrounds Integrates white-tailed deer biology and management into a single volume Provides a thorough treatment of white-tailed deer antler biology Includes downloadable resources with color images The backbone of many state wildlife management agencies' policies and a featured hunting species through much of their range, white-tailed deer are an important species ecologically, socially, and scientifically in most areas of North America. Highly adaptable and now living in close proximity to humans in many areas, white-tailed deer are both the face of nature and the source of conflict with motorists, home-owners, and agricultural producers. Capturing the diverse aspects of white-tailed deer research, Biology and Management of White-tailed Deer is a reflection of the resources invested in the study of the species’ effects on ecosystems, predator-prey dynamics, population regulation, foraging behavior, and browser physiology.

Ecology and Conservation of Tropical Ungulates in Latin America
Author: Sonia Gallina-Tessaro
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030288684
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 463
Book Description
This book brings together the latest information on tropical ungulates in different Latin American countries. These animals are not only important from the point of view of their role in different ecosystems, but also have cultural value for people. The book also discusses topics such as habitat transformation and hunting as these species are an important source of food in many places. Addressing ungulate natural communities in diverse ecosystems and countries, the book provides information on specific aspects of each of the most representative species, and highlights topics to help readers better understand these species and develop effective management and conservation strategies. The information presented also reveals the need for more knowledge and will hopefully provide the incentive for continued studies on this important group of animals. This publication serves as a reference for academic research on ungulate ecology, behavior and dynamics, as well as the basis for conservation strategies.
