The Use of Trail Cameras for the Study of Elusive Species

Basics
The term paper should be 8-12 pages long (excluding references) and double-spaced. Use a 12 point Times Roman font throughout (including headings). Number the pages. Use 1-inch margins and black text. Insert a header that includes your name, my name, and “BIOL 3610”, so that this information appears on every page. Do not include any additional formatting.

For the final paper, send me an electronic version and turn in a hard copy (staple pages together, printing your paper double-sided is preferable). The details really matter here!

Submitting papers used previously in any other courses is not acceptable, new papers (written this semester for this course) only!

The task
The term paper should summarize and discuss several related papers from the primary literature that focus on a wildlife management topic. Your audience is, again, someone who knows basic wildlife management concepts, but knows little about the particular topic that you have chosen. Your paper should bring such a person up to date on wildlife and/or management research in your chosen area. In organizing your paper, you may find it helpful to consider the following issues.

What are the main questions around which the research is organized?

What approaches have been taken by scientists investigating this topic, and what have these studies revealed?

If there are several competing hypotheses, which ones have been well supported?

Have any of the others been refuted?

What questions remain unanswered?

You should comment on the strengths and limitations of the studies that you summarize. We can discuss these things if you would like to meet to talk about your paper.

Your first goal is to find an appropriate topic (see below), which must be approved by me, and to find several papers from the primary literature that relate closely to that topic. You should discuss a minimum of five wildlife management papers (more would be good), at least one of which must be from 2010. These papers must all come from the peer-reviewed sections of scientific journals
(news articles, editorials, etc. are not appropriate, even if they appear in journals that also publish peer-reviewed original research). Many appropriate papers will be available on-line, but you may not use changeable web pages as sources. If you are uncertain about what a peer-reviewed scientific paper is, then please ask for help. I can help guide you in your search for papers, but I
expect you to have made a serious attempt to find materials on your own first.
