Book Description
Excerpt from Sampling Methods for Terrestrial Amphibians and Reptiles Concern about the value of old-growth Douglas-fir forests to wildlife in the Pacific Northwest began escalating in the late 19705. The available information on wildlife habitat relationships suggested that as many as 75 species including amphibians, birds, and mammals, could be dependent on old-growth forests. The usda Forest Service chartered the old-growth Forest Wildlife Habitat Program to investigate the role old growth plays in maintaining viable populations of wildlife. It was apparent that broad surveys of vertebrate communities would be necessary to determine which species were truly closely associated with old-growth forests. Insufficient guidance on techniques, procedures, and sample sizes was available in the existing literature. We assembled a team of researchers from universities and Federal agencies to conduct pilot studies to develop sampling protocols and to test the basic experimental design for contrasting the wildlife values of young, mature, and old-growth forests. The sampling protocols resulting from the pilot studies were implemented in 1984-86 across broad areas of the Cascade Range in southwestern Washington and in Oregon, the Oregon Coast Ranges, and the Klamath Mountains of southwestern Oregon and northern California. Naturally, improvements were made to the protocols as time passed. A tremendous amount of experience in sampling was gained.

Book Description
“Authoritative and comprehensive—provides an up-to-date description of the tool box of methods for inventorying and monitoring the diverse spectrum of reptiles. All biodiversity scientists will want to have it during project planning and as study progresses. A must for field biologists, conservation planners, and biodiversity managers.”—Jay M. Savage, San Diego State University “Kudos to the editors and contributors to this book. From the perspective of a non-ecologist such as myself, who only occasionally needs to intensively sample a particular site or habitat, the quality and clarity of this book has been well worth the wait.”—Jack W. Sites, Jr.

Book Description
This practical handbook of reptile field ecology and conservation brings together a distinguished, international group of reptile researchers to provide a state-of-the-art review of the many new and exciting techniques used to study reptiles. The authors describe ecological sampling techniques and how they are implemented to monitor the conservation status and population trends of snakes, lizards, tuatara, turtles, and crocodilians throughout the world. Emphasis is placed on the extent of statistical inference and the biases associated with different techniques and analyses. The chapters focus on the application of field research and data analysis for achieving an understanding of reptile life history, population dynamics, movement patterns, thermal ecology, conservation status, and the relationship between reptiles and their environment. The book emphasises the need for thorough planning, and demonstrates how a multi-dimensional approach incorporates information related to morphology, genetics, molecular biology, epidemiology, statistical modelling, animal welfare, and biosecurity. Although accentuating field sampling, sections on experimental applications in laboratories and zoos, thermal ecology, genetics, landscape ecology, disease and biosecurity, and management options are included. Much of this information is scattered in the scientific literature or not readily available, and the intention is to provide an affordable, comprehensive synthesis for use by graduate students, researchers, and practising conservationists worldwide.

Book Description
In 1984, a conference called Wildlife 2000: Modeling habitat relationships of terrestrial vertebrates, was held at Stanford Sierra Camp at Fallen Leaf Lake in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. The conference was well-received, and the published volume (Verner, J. , M. L. Morrison, and C. J. Ralph, editors. 1986. Wildlife 2000: modeling habitat relationships of terrestrial vertebrates, University of Wisconsin Press, Madison, Wisconsin, USA) proved to be a landmark publication that received a book award by The Wildlife Society. Wildlife 2001: populations was a followup conference with emphasis on the other major biological field of wildlife conservation and management, populations. It was held on July 29-31, 1991, at the Oakland Airport Hilton Hotel in Oakland, California, in accordance with our intent that this conference have a much stronger international representation than did Wildlife 2000. The goal of the conference was to bring together an international group of specialists to address the state of the art in wildlife population dynamics, and set the agenda for future research and management on the threshold of the 21st century. The mix of specialists included workers in theoretical, as well as practical, aspects of wildlife conservation and management. Three general sessions covered methods, modelling, and conservation of threatened species.
