The Alaska Species Ranking System (ASRS) was developed as a tool to assist the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) Wildlife Diversity Program and their partners with setting priorities for wildlife conservation as they move forward to implement Alaska’s Wildlife Action Plan and meet the conservation needs of Alaska’s wildlife. The ASRS provides a procedure for evaluating the status of terrestrial vertebrate taxa in Alaska with ranking criteria that are transparent and repeatable and results in outputs that can be used in a variety of ways for determining specific species and groups of species to focus conservation efforts on. We modified the Millsap et al. (1990) ranking system developed by the Florida Game...
Development of hydrocarbon resources across northwest Canada has spurred economic prosperity but also generated concerns over impacts to biodiversity. To balance these interests, comprehensive land use plans have been used to match targeted management strategies to ecological components deemed valuable by society such as wildlife. I used remote wildlife cameras to measure the response patterns of American marten and black bear to seismic lines, a ubiquitous linear feature in western Canada. Relative to undisturbed forest locations, marten avoid open and wide seismic lines, but not narrow and recovered lines; occupancy at the home range scale also declines with increasing seismic line density. By contrast, black...
