Conservation of Faunal Diversity in Forested Landscapes

Abstract

Part I - Prevailing contrasts in the status of forested biodiversity: The importance of disturbance and land-use history in New England: Implications for forested landscapes and wildlife conservation Changes in global forest distribution The status of forested wetlands and waterbird conservation in North and Central America Modern forestry and the Capercaillie Conservation of large forest carnivores. Part II - Habitat change and wildlife responses in forested landscapes: Status and conservation of raptors in forests of Canada and the United States Bird community dynamics in boreal forests The impact of forestry on ungulates in Japan Effects of hurricanes on wildlife: Implications and strategies for management Trends in the moose-forest system in Fennoscandia - with special reference to Sweden. Part III - Effective conservation tools and strategies: The ghost of forest past - natural disturbance regimes as a bases for reconstruction of biologically diverse forests in Europe Conservation and management of Eucalypt forest vertebrates The importance of forest for the world's migratory bird species Wildlife habitat evolution in forest ecosystems: some examples from Canada and the United States The spatial solution to conserving biodiversity in landscapes and regions Ecosearch: a new paradigm for evaluating the utility of wildlife habitat Modern approaches to mapping forest diversity.
