Symposium   Symposia will be available on-demand on their scheduled date, then again at the conclusion of the conference.   Many wildlife species in the US require forest conditions created by large-scale disturbances, including fire. For thousands of years, fire was a driving process in shaping composition and structure of many ecosystems by killing encroaching […]

Symposium   Symposia will be available on-demand on their scheduled date, then again at the conclusion of the conference.   We introduce the National Fish, Wildlife, and Plants Climate Adaptation Network (NFWPCAN), a recently established, group of federal, state, tribal, and non-governmental scientists and professionals seeking to facilitate climate change adaptation. The group was born […]

Symposium Symposia will be available on-demand on their scheduled date, then again at the conclusion of the conference.   Long-term data sets are fundamental to understand complex ecological systems and inform management decisions for conservation of biological diversity, also known as biodiversity. Long-term data sets (>=10 years) consist of observational and experimental data that can […]

Symposium   Symposia will be available on-demand on their scheduled date, then again at the conclusion of the conference.   Since 2006, The Wildlife Society (TWS) has annually organized the Leadership Institute, a six-month course that provides leadership training to early-career professionals. TWS started this course with a firm belief that training members in leadership […]

Symposium   Symposia will be available on-demand on their scheduled date, then again at the conclusion of the conference.   The Rusty Blackbird (Euphagus carolinus) is a widespread North American species that has shown chronic long-term and acute short-term population declines, based both on breeding season and wintering surveys. Rusty Blackbirds are ecologically distinct from […]

Symposium Symposia will be available on-demand on their scheduled date, then again at the conclusion of the conference.   Climate change is the ultimate threat to many wildlife populations with a varied suite of proximate risks that have the potential to result in additive or synergistic effects on wildlife populations. Habitat loss, abiotic and biotic […]

Symposium   Symposia will be available on-demand on their scheduled date, then again at the conclusion of the conference.   The development of noninvasive genetic sampling in the 1990s revolutionized wildlife management and our ability to monitor wild populations. The advent of noninvasive genetic sampling ? extracting genetic material from environmental DNA sources such as […]

Symposium   Symposia will be available on-demand on their scheduled date, then again at the conclusion of the conference.   The wildlife profession has entered a new era of unprecedented challenges to preserving, maintaining, and stewarding the natural resource legacies in our stead. Natural resource practitioners are faced with concepts such as no-analog ecological futures […]

Symposium   Symposia will be available on-demand on their scheduled date, then again at the conclusion of the conference.   Small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV; hereafter referred to as ?drones?) are increasingly being tested and used in wildlife management. Applications include incidental monitoring, systematic surveys, wildlife health assessments, habitat and […]

Symposium   Symposia will be available on-demand on their scheduled date, then again at the conclusion of the conference.   Studies specific to individual animals, study areas, or points in time provide insight into wildlife ecology and management, but their inference space is often limited to local populations and environmental conditions, and in time. In […]
