The partnership between park wild life management policy and landscape wild life management policy. How shall we then manage? The partnership between park wild life management policy and landscape wild life management policy. How shall we then manage?
Resources management practices are changing in North America, not only based on greater understanding of the resources that are being managed, but also on some critical sociological relationship changes between human beings and between humans and nature. The entire way that humans look at the natural world and our own society is changing dramatically as we come to the end of the...

Stem demography and post-fire recruitment of a resprouting serotinous conifer Stem demography and post-fire recruitment of a resprouting serotinous conifer
The contribution of resprouts and seedling recruitment to post-fire regeneration of the South African fynbos conifer Widdringtonia nodiflora was compared eight months after wildfires in 1990. Stems on all trees were killed by fire but resprouting success was > 90 % at all but one site. A demographic study of burned skeletons revealed that prior to these fires, nearly all plants were...

Postflood persistence and recolonization of endangered tidewater goby populations Postflood persistence and recolonization of endangered tidewater goby populations
Before-and-after surveys at several southern California sites indicated that populations of endangered tidewater goby Eucyclogobius newberryi persisted through heavy flooding in 1995. This was contrary to our expectations that flooding might have led to extirpation in some smaller wetlands. There was also no significant change in tidewater goby density before and after the flooding...

Habitat invasibility and dominance by alien annual plants in the western Mojave Desert Habitat invasibility and dominance by alien annual plants in the western Mojave Desert
Patterns of habitat invasibility and alien dominance, respectively measured as species richness and biomass of alien annual plants, were evaluated in association with four habitat factors at the Desert Tortoise Research Natural Area (DTNA) in the western Mojave Desert, USA. Habitat factors varied in levels of disturbance outside (high) and inside (low) the DTNA, and in levels of soil...
