(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-05)
    Conservationists often advocate for landscape approaches to wildlife management while others argue for physical separation between protected species and human communities, but direct empirical comparisons of these alternatives ...
  • Conserving wildlife in a changing world : understanding capture myopathy—a malignant outcome of stress during capture and translocation 
    Breed, Dorothy; Meyer, Leith Carl Rodney; Steyl, Johan Christian Abraham; Goddard, Amelia; Burroughs, Richard E.J.; Kohn, Tertius Abraham (Oxford University Press, 2019-07)
    The number of species that merit conservation interventions is increasing daily with ongoing habitat destruction, increased fragmentation and loss of population connectivity. Desertification and climate change reduce ...
  • Continued obstacles to wood-based biomass production in the southeastern United States 
    North, Benjamin W.; Pienaar, Elizabeth Frances (Wiley Open Access, 2021-07)
    International demand for wood-based biomass for bioenergy production is growing, and private forestlands in the southeastern United States have the potential to supply that demand. The southeastern United States (Southeast) ...
