American Museum of Natural History NEW CURRENTS IN CONSERVING FRESHWATER SYSTEMS SPRING SYMPOSIUM Freshwater rivers, lakes, wetlands, springs, and groundwaters are home to an astounding wealth of life — tens of thousands of species of fish, invertebrates, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals.These species are besieged by an array of threats ranging from the local to the global — dams, the invasion of exotic species, overfishing, pollution, stream channelization, water extraction and diversion, and the panoply of impacts linked to development of the terrestrial landscape.Across the world, freshwater habitats and species are among the most imperiled components of global biodiversity. Freshwater systems sustain all life, including human communities.While conserving the ecological integrity of these vital systems is a critical goal, it remains elusive. Dedicated scientists and managers have worked for decades to improve the health of freshwaters, yet in most places the outcome is far from certain.There is an urgent need to develop and apply innovative, science- based approaches to freshwater biodiversity conservation, and to share success stories. Because human activities are so closely tied to freshwater systems, conservation of the biodiversity within those systems faces a set of unique challenges.Working with users of water — local communities, industries, farmers, and others — to develop and implement sustainable solutions that meet the needs of both people and freshwater species is a basic foundation of many successes. Infusing these collaborations with the best science, even in the most data-poor situations, is integral to defining and achieving sustainability. Innovations in generating and applying that science represent an important conservation frontier. Just as freshwater biodiversity conservation must transcend “hard” science to include social, cultural, economic, and political considerations, so too does freshwater biodiversity science need to extend beyond biology.There is no doubt that strong biological information underpins effective conservation. But physical sciences like hydrology are equally important to the design and application of integrative conservation solutions. Bringing together scientists with shared interests and different disciplinary backgrounds to form working partnerships will be crucial to the next generation of freshwater conservation achievements. This symposium provides a forum for these interdisciplinary and international exchanges. Experts from around the world — researchers and practitioners with a range of experiences — will explore new collaborations and ideas for enhancing the effectiveness of their conserva- tion efforts.Whether innovations take the form of new scientific tools or improved methods for applying existing ones, the urgency of conserving freshwater biodiversity requires that we immediately embrace the best ideas and put them into action. 3 NEW CURRENTS IN CONSERVING FRESHWATER SYSTEMS A Biodiversity Science Symposium American Museum of Natural History Kaufmann and Linder Theaters DAY ONE Use of Genetic Tools to Examine Regional THURSDAY,APRIL 7, 2005 Patterns of Biodiversity 7:30 – 8:30 a.m. REGISTRATION DAVID J.

  • Evidence for Aviculture: Identifying Research Needs to Advance the Role of Ex Situ Bird Populations in Conservation Initiatives and Collection Planning
    Review Evidence for Aviculture: Identifying Research Needs to Advance the Role of Ex Situ Bird Populations in Conservation Initiatives and Collection Planning Paul Rose 1,2 1 Centre for Research in Animal Behaviour, Psychology, University of Exeter, Perry Road, Exeter, Devon EX4 4QG, UK; [email protected] or [email protected] 2 WWT, Slimbridge Wetland Centre, Slimbridge, Gloucestershire GL2 7BT, UK Simple Summary: Birds of a whole range of species are housed in zoological collections globally; they are some of the most frequently seen of species in animal populations kept under human care. Research output on birds can provide valuable information on how to advance husbandry and care for particular species, which may further feed into conservation planning. Linking birds housed in human care to those in the wild adds value to these zoo-housed populations; this paper provides areas of research that could be conducted to add value to these zoo-housed birds and suggests increasing the conservation focus and conservation relevance of birds housed by humans. Abstract: Birds are the most speciose of all taxonomic groups currently housed in zoos, but this species diversity is not always matched by their inclusion in research output in the peer-reviewed literature. This large and diverse captive population is an excellent tool for research investigation, the findings of which can be relevant to conservation and population sustainability aims. The One Plan Approach to conservation aims to foster tangible conservation relevance of ex situ populations to those animals living in situ.

  • Between Species: Choreographing Human And
    BETWEEN SPECIES: CHOREOGRAPHING HUMAN AND NONHUMAN BODIES JONATHAN OSBORN A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN DANCE STUDIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO MAY, 2019 ã Jonathan Osborn, 2019 Abstract BETWEEN SPECIES: CHOREOGRAPHING HUMAN AND NONHUMAN BODIES is a dissertation project informed by practice-led and practice-based modes of engagement, which approaches the space of the zoo as a multispecies, choreographic, affective assemblage. Drawing from critical scholarship in dance literature, zoo studies, human-animal studies, posthuman philosophy, and experiential/somatic field studies, this work utilizes choreographic engagement, with the topography and inhabitants of the Toronto Zoo and the Berlin Zoologischer Garten, to investigate the potential for kinaesthetic exchanges between human and nonhuman subjects. In tracing these exchanges, BETWEEN SPECIES documents the creation of the zoomorphic choreographic works ARK and ARCHE and creatively mediates on: more-than-human choreography; the curatorial paradigms, embodied practices, and forms of zoological gardens; the staging of human and nonhuman bodies and bodies of knowledge; the resonances and dissonances between ethological research and dance ethnography; and, the anthropocentric constitution of the field of dance studies. ii Dedication Dedicated to the glowing memory of my nana, Patricia Maltby, who, through her relentless love and fervent belief in my potential, elegantly willed me into another phase of life, while she passed, with dignity and calm, into another realm of existence. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my phenomenal supervisor Dr. Barbara Sellers-Young and my amazing committee members Dr.
