Apologies for cross-postings. The Oregon Chapter of The Wildlife Society is sponsoring a workshop "Enumerating Wildlife Populations" on February 14-15 at Agate Beach Hotel in Newport, Oregon. The primary goal of the workshop is to provide wildlife managers and biologists with an understanding of how to effectively sample wildlife populations.
Topics include: Data and Sampling Benefits and Limitations of Sampling, Inference and Data Comparability Putting it All Together in a Sampling Strategy Examples for Data Rich Species (waterfowl, ungulates) Examples for Data Poor Species (herps, small carnivores, forest birds) To obtain a pdf workshop outline and registration form go to the Chapter's Annual Meeting website: http://fw.oregonstate.edu/tws/2006annualmeeting.htm Warren W.
