Document Summary
Study of physiological responses of organisms from anthropogenic activities of the environment that might cause or contribute to population decline. Physiological responses: metabolism, thermal relationships, nutrition, endocrine responses. Stingrays managing both things: plant physiology, identifying native species that outcompete invasive species. Conservation practitioner vs. scientist seen in sockeye salmon populations in fraser river. Conservation practitioner/manager has to predict information from limited data: constrained by political boundaries potential to extrapolate from a single population to other political boundaries without need for extensive work in every jurisdiction. Management: notice problem use trial and error determine a policy. Management must communicate with the scientists, then the scientists need to develop models in respo(cid:374)se to (cid:373)a(cid:374)age(cid:373)e(cid:374)t"s pro(cid:271)le(cid:373)s. Some years, the numbers lower and they fail to do so. Integrated both science and management perspectives to find a solution to this issue. 1st level of scientific advice: in response to a management problem. Involves brainstorming of ideas before any research or testing done.
