captive breeding
panda study, whooping crane hand rearing,
1 of 9
Migration
conservation difficult over 2 habitats, mule deer in Wyoming, gannet behaviour wind turbines
2 of 9
Reintroduction
large blue butterfly and red ants, tested quantitatively using activity time budgets
3 of 9
Panda study?
encourage males to increase mating behaviour, creating competition with smell , increased courtship behaviours
4 of 9
Whooping crane
1940's, hand rear chicks, imprinting, no natural behaviours, dress as cranes
5 of 9
Mule deer?
migrate between summer and wintering ranges, gas pipeline in migration route, pipeline moved
6 of 9
Gannets and turbines
Bass rock, see if turbine presence effected gannets, whether it stopped them going to foraging grounds or flying to height of turbines
7 of 9
Large blue butterfly
70's tried reintroduction, failed, didn't take into account behaviour, relies on red ants, butterfly larvae parasites the ants. Tried again using burning and grazing routine to create ant habitat and then butterfly reintroduced
8 of 9
activity time budgets
compare behaviours of reintroduced populations with reference populations, if time is spent doing the same things, conservation is successful
