Search Results for reserve adequacy

... over five years on a conservation reserve in northern Australia as a case study. We used rarefaction curves to examine the rate of species accumulation and sampling adequacy for 15 fauna functional groups representing bird, mammal and reptile taxa. We also compared the cost effectiveness using...

... were investigated and many species were strongly associated with particular ecosystems. Seasonal variation and adequacy of survey methods were also examined. The results of this survey show that this area is at least as diverse and significant for fauna as any other part of the Wet Tropics {including...

...J. F. Whitehouse With the establishment of the National Parks and Wildlife Service in New South Wales in 1967 a major programme commenced to establish a comprehensive reserve system for nature conservation as well as other purposes. As at 30 June, 1988 this system consisted of 68 National Parks...

... on the relevance of newly acquired data. This was a major exercise, the point of which was to demonstrate that any evaluation of the adequacy or otherwise of the pattern of parks and reserves across the landscape can now draw on some new information that will place any study in a more informed frame. Our concern...

... on the adequacy of the present reserve system, particularly for fauna. In a discussion on the basis for reserve selection in New South Wales, Whitehouse (1990) concludes that reserve selection is best undertaken using a resource- based approach rather than a land-based approach. This view is not unusual and most...

The point of this exercise was to look at such issues as the adequacy of the data for analyses, when might be the best time to undertake such analyses, and what the results would have been...

In one study (Garden et al. 2007), compared to trapping, timed active reptile searches yield greater results to pitfall trapping, although in this instance they did not use pitfall drift fences which improves trapping success...
