American Bison - Status Survey and Conservation Guidelines 2010.

134 Seiten. IUCN, Gland, Switzerland. ISBN: 978-2-8317-1149-2

Summary:

The publication of this IUCN American Bison Status Survey and Conservation Guidelines is timely owing to a recent convergence of factors: new research findings on bison genetics and ecology, assessment and awareness of the precarious status of many bison conservation herds, new initiatives by government and non-profit institutions to improve management of existing herds and to establish conservation herds, growing interest among Native Americans in restoring bison as part of their cultural heritage, and an increasing awareness by the commercial bison industry that conservation of wild-type bison is in the longterm interest of the industry. There is also a growing body of evidence that the biodiversity of ecosystems within the original range of bison can benefit from bison restoration, from the desert grasslands of northern Mexico, through the Great Plains, to the lowland meadow systems of interior Alaska. The ten chapters of this book examine these and other aspects of the biology and conservation of the species, and offer guidelines for what we anticipate will be a new era of bison conservation in North America. Under the auspices of the IUCN American Bison Specialist Group, twenty-nine chapter coordinators and contributors share their knowledge and ideas in this comprehensive review of the diverse topics that need to be considered by researchers, managers, policy makers and others interested in restoring and conserving this magnificent animal.

LOSS, S. R., WILL, T. & MARRA, P. P. (2013)

The impact of free-ranging domestic cats on wildlife of the United States.

Nature Communications 4, Article number: 1396; DOI:10.1038/ncomms2380

Abstract:

Anthropogenic threats, such as collisions with man-made structures, vehicles, poisoning and predation by domestic pets, combine to kill billions of wildlife annually. Free-ranging domestic cats have been introduced globally and have contributed to multiple wildlife extinctions on islands. The magnitude of mortality they cause in mainland areas remains speculative, with large-scale estimates based on non-systematic analyses and little consideration of scientific data. Here we conduct a systematic review and quantitatively estimate mortality caused by cats in the United States. We estimate that free-ranging domestic cats kill 1.3–4.0 billion birds and 6.3–22.3 billion mammals annually. Un-owned cats, as opposed to owned pets, cause the majority of this mortality. Our findings suggest that free-ranging cats cause substantially greater wildlife mortality than previously thought and are likely the single greatest source of anthropogenic mortality for US birds and mammals. Scientifically sound conservation and policy intervention is needed to reduce this impact.

INEICHEN, S. (2000)

Reiche biologische Vielfalt in New York City – Die Vogelwelt Manhattans.

ORNIS 2000 (1): 16-19

Zusammenfassung:

New York City. Das klingt nach Weltstadt, Wolkenkratzer und kulturellem Schmelztiegel. Wie aber geht es den Vögeln im Häusermeer von Manhattan? Der Artikel zeigt, dass in der Millionenstadt nicht nur die Vielfalt der Kulturen groß ist, sondern auch diejenige der Pflanzen und Tiere. Übrigens, im Central Park, der grünen Lunge New Yorks, kann man so viele Vogelarten beobachten wie in der ganzen Schweiz.

CARRERA, R. & BALLARD, W. B. (2003)

Elk Distribution in Mexico: A Critical Review.

Wildlife Society Bulletin 31, No. 4 (Winter, 2003), pp. 1272-1276
Published by: Wiley
Article Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/3784478

Abstract:

Several authors have reported that elk (Cervus elaphus) were historically distributed in Mexico. The reported distribution was based upon an old report of an observation in 1892, on bones excavated from one archaeological site, and on the interpretation of old Spanish documents. We critically evaluated evidence for elk having been historically distributed in Mexico. Translations of old documents and confusion in the use of common names have played an important role in the interpretation that elk historically occurred in Mexico. The elk remains excavated in an archaeological cave site in Cuatrocienegas was the only specimen ever reported in Mexico. An examination of these purported elk remains indicated that they were misidentified, leaving no physical evidence for the presence of elk in Mexico. Historical biogeography suggested that by the late Holocene the southernmost elk distribution was in Arizona, New Mexico, and northern Texas. Available information indicated that elk have never occurred naturally in Mexico.
