Modeling disjunct gray wolf populations in semi-wild landscapes
Article Abstract:
Computer simulation has shown disjunct gray wolf populations can remain viable if wolves are free to move between populations, human interference is not excessive, and prey is plentiful. Many gray wolves in the US and Europe live near human populations, and effective wolf management must be based on understanding interactions between humans and wolves. The simulation compiled 50 years of data and showed semi-wild landscape with the above conditions was optimal.

"Demography of the California Condor" and management decisions based on modeling: A reply to Meretsky et al.
Article Abstract:
The practice of double clutching in the husbandry of captive California Condors is discussed and the serious disconnection between their model and the hypothesizes is explained. The double clutching process provided advantages bestowed by parents rearing in captivity are retained along with the increased number of chicks and the need to parent rearing is possible with the mixed strategy of allowing both the rearing methods.

Designing species translocation strategies when population growth and future funding are uncertain
Article Abstract:
Translocation is used to establish populations of animals or plants. Strategies for designing translocation are outlined and the importance of performance criteria and economic costs in determining optimal release and monitoring strategies is given.
