Absolute population estimates are not generally used to make management decisions, but rather to show a general trend in the population over time. (georgiawildlife.blog)

has completed the implementation of a five-year Combating Wildlife Crime Project in the Malawi-Zambia transboundary landscape. (ifaw.org)
Such information is critical for developing more effective land-use management strategies for conserving and enhancing transboundary wildlife movements. (wildernesstrust.com)

The partnership comes after news last year that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service added the first bumble bee (the rusty patched bumble bee) to the endangered species list as part of the U.S. Endangered Species Act. (nwf.org)
6-Month Extension of Final Determination for the Proposed Listing of the Distinct Population Segment of the North American Wolverine Occurring in the Contiguous United States as a Threatened Species Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior. (justia.com)
AGENCY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce a 6-month extension of the final determination of whether to list the distinct population segment of the North American wolverine (Gulo gulo luscus) occurring in the contiguous United States as a threatened species. (justia.com)
We collaborate with scientists from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service to design and analyze waterfowl surveys in this large and often inaccessible area. (usgs.gov)
This reduction in size of the breeding range has been reflected in a steady decline of black ducks counted during winter surveys, both the midwinter Waterfowl Survey conducted by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Christmas Bird Count. (usgs.gov)
After conducting pilot surveys in eastern Canada, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Canadian Wildlife Service initiated a range-wide survey of black ducks in 1990. (usgs.gov)
Wolves in the northern Rocky Mountains - which includes Wyoming - are currently subject to an ongoing status review implemented by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in response to multiple petitions filed requesting wolves to be relisted under the Endangered Species Act. (wyo.gov)

Mr Mnzava urged effective management of wildlife resources. (co.tz)
The effect of climate changes and management of wildlife and marine fish stocks are important application areas. (lu.se)

The research group Aquatic Ecology studies, among other things, climate change effects on aquatic systems, regime shifts in shallow lakes, dispersal, and migration of aquatic organisms, population genetics, predator-prey interactions, effects of pesticides and endocrine disruptors and sustainable fisheries.

Still, little is known about how genetic differences might influence natural selection within wildlife populations. (nih.gov)
