Wildlife Ecology and Management
Wildlife generally means non-domesticated animals that are large enough to see. It does not usually include microfauna or ranched animals.
Adapting the definition used by the ODP, Wildlife Ecology is a branch of science dealing with the interrelationships of wildlife with their own species and other animals, and with their nonliving environment. These relationships include physiological responses of individuals, structure and dynamics of populations, interactions among species, organization of biological communities, and processing of energy and matter in ecosystems.
However, as a science, Wildlife Ecology generally excludes fish and fisheries. Fisheries Ecology has developed its own tradition and methodology. The distinction of course is a convention.
Wildlife Management is included here because in practice, management is generally (though not invariably) based on ecological principles and knowledge. However it often incorporates an additional component of human interaction: it has been described as "a triad that includes habitat, people, and animals, and the interactions that occur between them" (See also: http://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/whc/Krausman.html.
Sites in Wildlife Ecology and Management
Australian Wildlife
The site, updated regularly, provides current information about Australian wildlife including well-researched articles, the latest news in the papers and scientific press, and reviews of recent books and CD's. Topical issues are thrown open for input from visitors and questions about any aspect of Australian are answered.
Wildlife Ecology
Study of the distribution and reproductive status of grassland birds with respect to condition of grassland habitat in Virginia.
K-State Research and Extension Library: Wildlife Management Library
Publications and videos on management and control of nuisance animals and birds; also information on desireable wildlife and fish farming.
The WILD Foundation

Western Section of The Wildlife Society
Group of professionals in all areas of wildlife ecology, conservation, and management from California, Nevada, Hawaii, and the Pacific Islands.
Elephant Satellite Tracking in Malaysia
One of the tasks handled is to help landowners reduce crop damage caused by wildlife. Elephants can cause great damage to plantations. To reduce that damage, DWNP has developed an elephant trans-location program.
Program for the Conservation of Arctic flora and Fauna
Established to address the special needs of Arctic species and their habitats in the rapidly developing Arctic region. It forms a program of the Arctic Environmental Protection Strategy (AEPS).

Conditioned taste aversion (CTA) and its uses in wildlife management problems.
Olympia Forest Science Laboratory - Wildlife Ecology Team
Their research focuses on ecology, management, and conservation of sensitive wildlife species.
Traditional Ecological Knowledge of Beluga Whales
A system of understanding one's environment. It is built over generations, as people depend on the land and sea for their food, materials, and culture.

Common Ground: The Case of Seasonally Inundated Cropland
A cost effective way to provide more waterfowl migration habitat may be to use seasonally inundated cropland for this purpose. The seasonal strategy could provide habitat for geese and ducks during the spring and fall migration periods, and the land could be farmed during the cropping season.
Millennium Wildlife Sciences
