Winner of the 2018 TWS Wildlife Publication Awards in the authored
book category Urban development is one of the leading worldwide
threats to conserving biodiversity. In the near future, wildlife
management in urban landscapes will be a prominent issue for
wildlife professionals. This new edition of Urban Wildlife
Management continues the work of its predecessors by providing a
comprehensive examination of the issues that increase the need for
urban wildlife management, exploring the changing dynamics of the
field while giving historical perspectives and looking at current
trends and future directions. The book examines a range of topics
on human interactions with wildlife in urbanized environments. It
focuses not only on ecological matters but also on political,
economic, and societal issues that must be addressed for successful
management planning. This edition features an entirely new section
on urban wildlife species, including chapters on urban communities,
herpetofauna, birds, ungulates, mammals, carnivores, and feral and
introduced species. The third edition features Five new chapters 12
updated chapters Four new case studies Seven new appendices and
species profiles 90 new figures A comprehensive analysis of
terrestrial vertebrate locations by state and urban observations
Each chapter opens with a set of key concepts which are then
examined in the following discussions. Suggested learning
experiences to enhance knowledge conclude each chapter. The species
profiles cover not only data about the animal concerned but also
detail significant current management issues related to the
species. An updated and expanded teaching tool, Urban Wildlife
Management, Third Edition identifies the challenges and
opportunities facing wildlife in urban communities as well as
factors that promote or threaten their presence. It gives both
students and professionals a solid grounding in the required
fundamental ecological principles for understanding the effects of
human-made environments on wildlife.
Urban Deer Havens consists of a thorough examination of selected
cervid (deer) species that are known to inhabit urban communities
in the United States. The deer species that are included in this
presentation consisted of white-tailed (Odocoileus virginianus),
Key deer (O. v. clavium), moose (Alces alces), elk (Cervus
elaphus), mule (Odocoileus hemionus), and black-tailed deer (O. h.
columbianus). This book is the first attempt to examine the
similarities and differences in those factors that allow the
selected cervids to exist and thrive in urban habitats. This
information has never been collected, collated, reviewed, and
published under one cover document. Yet, all five are known to
inhabit urban communities within their geographic range. The lack
of information concerning several important examples of urban
cervids in conjunction with a proliferation of information on
white-tailed deer only is an incomplete and biased presentation.
This book is the first comprehensive source of information on urban
deer management, which includes a broad assemblage of urban
cervids. The overall objective of this book is to provide a more
holistic examination of urban cervids. For example, it examines the
similarities and differences of the environmental impacts,
management strategies, and human dimensions considerations
concerning urban cervids in general, and using specific examples.
Urban Deer Havens features four chapters that include: Urban deer
census techniques and population dynamics Comprehensive tables that
review urban community deer management plans National and
state-wide estimates the five selected cervids Laws and regulations
concerning urban deer Lethal and nonlethal management options for
managing deer Steps for managing urban deer populations Examples of
urban deer management efforts
