Conservation Biology and Wildlife
Management
- Conservation biologists differ from wildlife managers in that:
- Conservation biologists are mostly practical while
wildlife managers are mostly theoretical.
- Wildlife managers main goal is to manipulate
populations while conservation biologists try to maintain diversity.
- Wildlife managers are mostly in academia while
conservation biologists are mostly in state agencies.
- none of the above.
- What level(s) of diversity are conservation biologists interested in ?
- genetic diversity
- species diversity
- ecosystem diversity
- all of the above
- none of the above
- Which was NOT given as an example in the text of conservation biologists and
wildlife managers working together ?
- spotted owls
- Isle Royale wolves
- African cheetah
- brown-headed cowbirds
- all WERE examples used in the text
- The theory of island biogeography predicts that:
- small islands should have more species than large
ones.
- patches close to sources (or each other) will have
fewer species than patches farther away.
- equilibrium number of species is related to patch
size and distance from source populations.
- none of the above.
- The 'rescue effect' is
- successful re-introduction of a species to a
habitat.
- immigration that genetically augments effective
population size.
- programs that have successfully taken endangered
species, like the bald eagle, off the threatened and endangered species list.
- none of the above.
