Front 14

What is the Goal of the NAWMP?

Back 14

to conserve a habitat system with the capacity to maintain long term average waterfowl population levels

Front 15

How does NAWMP achieve their goal?

Back 15

- identify priority landscapes based on research

- policies to protect and restore

- agreements, easements, purchases

Front 16

List the 5 Monitoring Techniques for Waterfowl

Back 16

- Population Surveys

- Production Surveys

- Habitat Surveys

- Harvest Surveys

- Banding and Marking

Front 17

Banding and Marking

Back 17

estimates survival rates and harvest rates

Front 18

3 Types of Animal Movement

Back 18

Dispersal

Colonization

Migration

Front 19

Disperal

Back 19

juvenile leaves the original territory

Front 20

Colonization

Back 20

- occupying or reoccupying empty habitat

Front 21

Migration

Back 21

- seasonal movement to obtain resources

Front 22

What effects can barriers have to animal populations?

Back 22

- loss of access to preferred habitat reduces fitness

- population can become isolated and inbreeding can occur

- inbreeding lowers genetic diversity

Front 23

4 Methods of Monitoring Wildlife?

Back 23

Observation

Tracking

Marking

Sampling

Front 24

Observation

Back 24

gives information about presence - cannot follow movements alone - less invasive

Front 25

Tracking

Back 25

tracks individual wildlife locations - less invasive

Front 26

Marking

Back 26

gives information about survival rate/harvest rate - may not be possible to observe tag from certain distance - invasive

Front 27

Sampling

Back 27

indicates familial connections and therefore can examine dispersal - invasive

Front 28

What Types of Projects are Best Suited to Radiotelemetry

Back 28

- remote observations

- secretive animals

Front 29

What information can you gain?

Back 29

- habitat usage

- home range

- spatial and temporal information

Front 30

Transmitter

Back 30

emits the signal from the animal

Front 31

Antennae

Back 31

determines what direction you are receiving the strongest signal

Front 32

Receiver

Back 32

receives signals from transmitter and converts it into audible sound

Front 33

Why is it helpful to know the radiation pattern of the antennae you are using?

Back 33

- defines the way an antennae directs its energy

- tells you where power is being radiated or received
