Artificial avian nest predation in a Kansas tallgrass prairieGoodman, James R. January 1999 (has links)
Several species of Neotropical migrant songbirds are experiencing declining population numbers. One of many proposed reasons for these declines is the dramatic loss of suitable prairie and grassland nesting habitat in the central United States. The Konza Prairie - a native tallgrass prairie preserve in central Kansas - was used to study possible edge-effect predation of artificial avian ground nests. Two Japanese quail eggs were placed in created artificial nests along transect lines from a wooded edge, a recently burned edge, and a control area. The rate of nest predation after seven days was 16.1 (±12.9%) for the control area. This was taken to represent the typical base level of artificial nest predation for the Konza Prairie. The predation rates for the wooded edge and burned edge were 21.9% (±7.4%) and 18.0% (±6.0%), respectively. These rates were not statistically different from each other or the base level rate of predation. The data suggests that no edge-effect predation occurs for artificial avian ground nests along wooded or burned edges in the Konza Prairie. Predation rates of natural bird nests may be different than these results suggest. It is recommended that future studies identify nest predators and study their foraging behavior near edge habitat. / Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management

Les loisirs motorisés hors route. Conflits controverse et réseaux d'actants / Off road motorised recreation : Conflicts, controversy and actor-networkHaye, Lisa 28 November 2012 (has links)
Le développement récent des Loisirs Motorisés Hors Route (LMHR) suscite une controverse et de vives réactions dans les milieux du sport et de la protection de l'environnement. Le phénomène est encore peu étudié, à la fois du fait qu'il est récent, que l'argumentation relève de plusieurs disciplines et que les loisirs motorisés, s'ils font partie sans problème de l'outdoor recreation nord-américaine, sont rejetés en France par les autres sportifs et ne sont pas reconnus de façon évidente comme relevant du domaine d'une discipline particulière. Afin de combler un manque dans la littérature scientifique française, cette thèse vise à apporter une connaissance fine de la dynamique de la controverse – en tant qu'échange d'arguments génériques – et des conflits dont les LMHR font l'objet. Elle présente deux originalités majeures : sa thématique et son approche combinant les théories de l'acteur-réseau avec les outils de visualisation et d'analyse de réseau basés sur la théorie des graphes. Cette construction théorique et méthodologique visait à interroger les interrelations entre la controverse portée par des collectifs présents sur la scène nationale et les conflits et interactions sur le terrain. Pour cela, nous avons mené des enquêtes sur quatre scènes : la scène nationale (composée de collectifs pro et anti-motorisé, de Fédérations, de constructeurs, de gestionnaires et décideurs et d'élus) ; deux scènes locales conflictuelles où des démarches de gestion sont en cours (le PNR du Pilat et les Chambarans) ; une scène locale où aucun conflit n'est visible sur la scène publique (le canton de La Grave – Villar d'Arène). Nos résultats montrent, que bien que la controverse trouve ses racines dans des conflits sur le terrain, il n'existerait pas de coprésence entre acteurs qui s'opposent. D'abord, en l'absence de conflit, la scène de La Grave apparaît déconnectée du reste du réseau. Ensuite, les détracteurs des LMHR se mobilisent dans la controverse mais ne cherchent pas directement à agir sur le terrain. Par contre, les défenseurs de la pratique s'impliquent, eux, aux deux niveaux. Enfin, les gestionnaires et agents de la police de l'environnement confrontés à la gestion des activités, nouent des liens sur le terrain et au niveau national, à la fois avec les défenseurs et les détracteurs des LMHR ; devenant parfois des acteurs-passerelles. D'un point de vue théorique et méthodologique, les outils de visualisation et d'analyse de réseau ont montré leur intérêt dans le cadre d'une approche par l'acteur-réseau ; les perspectives apparaissent riches. Mots-clés : Sociologie, loisirs motorisés hors route, théories de l'acteur-réseau, visualisation et analyse de réseau, controverse, conflits, gestion / The recent expansion of off road motorized recreation raises controversy and strong reactions from the worlds of sports and environmental protection. The phenomenon is still poorly studied, because it is recent, because the argumentation falls across disciplines and because motorized recreation is rejected by other recreationists. Moreover, motorized recreation is obviously not recognized as a domain of a particular discipline in France, whereas it is truly integrated to outdoor recreation in North America. To fill a gap in the French literature, this thesis aims to provide a detailed understanding of the dynamics of the controversy - as an exchange of generic arguments - and conflicts around motorized recreation. The thesis has two main peculiarities: its theme and its approach combining the actor-network theory, visualization tools and network analysis based on graph theory. The aim of this theoretical and methodological building was to examine the interrelationships between the controversy – carried by groups who are present on the national scene – and conflicts and interactions in the field. To do this, we investigated four scenes: the national scene (composed of pro-motorized and anti- motorized collectives, Federations, manufacturers, managers, policy makers and elected officials), two local scenes where conflict management approaches are in progress (NRP Pilat and Chambarans), a local scene where no conflict is visible in the public arena (the township of La Grave - Villar d'Arene). Our results show that although the controversy is rooted in conflicts on the field, there would be no copresence between opposing stakeholders. First, in the absence of conflict, the scene of La Grave is disconnected from the network. Second, critics of motorized recreation rally in controversy but do not try to act directly on the field. By contrast, the defenders of those activities imply them at both levels. Finally, managers and actors in charge of environmental police who face the management of the activities, build relationships in the field and at a national level, with both defenders and detractors of motorized recreation, sometimes becoming gateways actors. From a theoretical and methodological point of view, tools for visualization and network analysis have shown their interest in the context of the actor-network theory: perspectives appear to be rich. Key words : Sociology, off road motorized recreation, Actor-Network Theory, viualization and network analysis, controversy, conflicts, management.

Стратегија развоја хотел менаџмента и одрживи развој у заштићеним природним подручјима Србије / Strategija razvoja hotel menadžmenta i održivi razvoj u zaštićenim prirodnim područjima Srbije / The development strategy in hotel management and sustainable development in the protected natural areas in SerbiaJanićević Sava 23 August 2004 (has links)
<p>Основни приступ истраживању стратегије развоја хотел менаџмента и одрживог развоја у заштићеним природним подручјима Србије, проистиче из потребе детаљне туристичке валоризације и истовременог очувања заштићених подручја. Природне и антропогене туристичке вредности заштићених предела Србије бројне су и разноврсне. Међутим развој туризма у истим није сразмеран потенцијалима. Валоризација ових простора и пословање објеката хотелијерства у њима почива на традиционалним основама и не даје задовољавајуће резултате. Већим туристичким прометом истичу се Национални парк Копаоник, Национални парк Тара, Национални парк Ђердап, Парк природе Палић и Специјални резерват природе Лудошко језеро. У заштићеним природним пределима не треба да постоји дилема између комерцијалног и одрживог туризма. Стратегија развоја хотел менаџмента у србији треба да уважава позитивне и проверене ставове из света и да их прилагођава нашој стварности, посебно у заштићеним пределима, уважавајући реалне капацитете простора.</p> / <p>Osnovni pristup istraživanju strategije razvoja hotel menadžmenta i održivog razvoja u zaštićenim prirodnim područjima Srbije, proističe iz potrebe detaljne turističke valorizacije i istovremenog očuvanja zaštićenih područja. Prirodne i antropogene turističke vrednosti zaštićenih predela Srbije brojne su i raznovrsne. Međutim razvoj turizma u istim nije srazmeran potencijalima. Valorizacija ovih prostora i poslovanje objekata hotelijerstva u njima počiva na tradicionalnim osnovama i ne daje zadovoljavajuće rezultate. Većim turističkim prometom ističu se Nacionalni park Kopaonik, Nacionalni park Tara, Nacionalni park Đerdap, Park prirode Palić i Specijalni rezervat prirode Ludoško jezero. U zaštićenim prirodnim predelima ne treba da postoji dilema između komercijalnog i održivog turizma. Strategija razvoja hotel menadžmenta u srbiji treba da uvažava pozitivne i proverene stavove iz sveta i da ih prilagođava našoj stvarnosti, posebno u zaštićenim predelima, uvažavajući realne kapacitete prostora.</p> / <p>l management should draw on positive and tried-and-tested approaches applied internationally and adapt them to our reality, especially in the protected areas bearing in mind their realistic capacities. There should not be conflict between commercial and sustainable tourism in the protected natural areas. The protection regime is determined and firmly defined and thus close to the approach of sustainable tourism development. In this context, the hotel management strategy as its clear conclusion identifies the need for the realisation of the following activities and measures: ownership transformation in hotel facilities, redirection of capacities to market business operation. Raising the service level, expansion of the options offered to visitors, working together with facilities in the vicinity to make a joint offer of services, qualification of personnel for all jobs and types of work, business planing for individual seasons and the whole year.</p>
