WILDLIFE SCIENCE
Connecting Research with Management
W
Despite the potential synergy that can result from basing management I
L
applications on results from research, there is a polarization of cultures
D
between wildlife managers and wildlife researchers. Wildlife Science:
L
Connecting Research with Management provides strategies for bridging I
cultural and communication gaps between these groups. F
E
Contributors present case studies highlighting the role of state and federal S
agencies and private organizations in management and research; the C
lingering disconnects between grassland birds, quail, and deer research I
E
and management; as well as the development of management techniques
N
from field research, rangelands management, and ranch management.
