Book Description

0813808936 978-0813808932 October 4, 2002 1
Declines in populations of bobwhite quail that began over a hundred years ago are being exacerbated by lingering misconceptions of the bird's biology and management. Many of the principles upon which wildlife ecologists and managers rely have long ago been shown to be incomplete or simply incorrect. Historically accepted traditions of management stand ready for amendment.

In light of history and present circumstances, Dr. Guthery looks at bobwhites and their management from a fresh perspective. While stressing theory-based management, the author integrates recent research findings into current concepts of biology and management, and critically examines the historical concepts upon which managers base their decisions. The Technology of Bobwhite Management represents the author's formulation of a theoretical basis that takes bobwhite management forward without the encumbrance of false and outdated principles.

Dr. Guthery offers wildlife ecologists and quail managers an opportunity to revise their thinking about bobwhites in light of protocols, processes and research that take management decisions into the realm of science and technology.
