Q

Whole blood

A

Purple top tube, has an anticoagulant to prevent clotting. Used when blood cells are required. When spun this produces plasma.

23
Q

Serum

A

Red top or tiger top tube. No anticoagulant in tube, blood will clot. Remaining yellowish liquid is serum. Used for chemical, mineral, hormonal blood work.

24
Q

Non destructive

A

Doesn’t kill the animal.

25
Q

Non invasive

A

Animal isn’t aware of the collection.
Capture images, DNA (hair), tracks and signs.

26
Q

Non destructive DNA collection

A

Blood (high quality DNA), tissue (high quality DNA), saliva or mucus (lower quality than previous two).

27
Q

Non invasive DNA collection

A

Scat (low quality DNA), dead tissue (low quality DNA) - bone, shed skin, eggshells. Hair (low quality DNA), feathers (low quality DNA).

28
Q

Camera trapping

A

Can typically tell species, age, sex, marked animals, behaviors. Spatial distribution, trails vs random placement, baited vs unbaited.

29
Q

Census

A

Total count of animals in the study area.
Only works with limited areas and fewer, visible animals in open spaces.

30
Q

Estimate

A

Uses an unbiased set of samples from incomplete count and a measure of detection to infer population size.
Can estimate population of a larger area by measuring a small sample and scaling it up.

31
Q

Index

A

Not size itself, but measures something that varies predictably with population size. Provides trends.

32
Q

Accuracy

A

Measure of how close a population estimate is to the true population size.

33
Q

Precision

A

Measure of the spread of individual estimates or sampling units.

34
Q

Double sampling

A

Split into quadrats or strip plots. Count all animals on plots then do a rapid count for entire study area. B=y/x. y is ratio of # counted on rapid survey, x is intensive survey. N=C/B. C is # counted across whole area.

35
Q

Double sampling assumptions

A

All animals on intensive count counted. Animals have not moved from plots between intensive and rapid surveys.

36
Q

Distance sampling assumptions

A

All animals on line are detected. Animals do not move before they are sighted. Sightings are independent events.

37
Q

Lincoln Peterson

A

Sample a subset of population (n1). Mark all captured animals (m1). Release animals. Sample population again (n2) and count number that had been marked (m2). m2/n2 = n1/N. B = m2/n1. N = n1n2/m2.

38
Q

Lincoln Peterson assumptions

A

Population is closed. Marks are not lost, gained, or overlooked. All animals are equally likely to be captured in each sample.

39
Q

Measuring diet composition

A

Ocular estimate, post ingestion analysis, post digestion analysis, post assimilation analysis.

40
Q

Ocular estimate

A

Observe animal eating and record. Pros - observe food type and size before digestion, relatively non invasive. Cons - difficult to ID plant from afar, difficult for secretive animals or at night, usually small sample sizes.

41
Q

Post ingestion

A

Obtaining food from digestive tract, usually from dissected dead animal. Pros - usually gets more samples, includes food eaten at night, usually know animal species. Cons - more invasive, may require dead animal, food more difficult to ID.

42
Q

Post digestion

A

Obtaining food from feces, microhistology. Examine under microscope. Pros - non invasive, allows large sample sizes, works for secretive animals. Cons - ID requires skills/lab, high quality foods under represented, usually don’t know species.

43
Q

Post assimilation

A

Fatty acids and stable isotopes. Punch biopsy, carbon and nitrogen measurements. Pros - can look at different time scales, can be non invasive. Cons - need reference sample, difficult to quantify, requires analytical tools.

44
Q

Percent occurrence

A

Number of individuals that had a food item in its diet. Need large sample size.

45
Q

Mean percent frequency

A

Average of number of a food item in an animals diet/total number of food items in diet.

46
Q

Mean percent mass or volume

A

Average of mass or volume of food item in diet/total mass or volume of diet.

47
Q

Radiation

A

Flow of energy as electromagnetic waves or particles through space at the speed of light from all objects above absolute zero.

48
Q

Convection

A

Flow of heat in a moving fluid especially at the interface with a solid. Animals boundary layer reduces convective heat loss.

49
Q

Conduction

A

Flow of heat when oscillating molecules exchange kinetic energy without appreciably changing position. Contact surfaces.

50
Q

Evaporation

A

Loss of heat from animal as water changes from a liquid to a gas. Greater surface area increases evaporation. Larger animals have less surface area per unit body mass.

51
Q

Measuring fear

A

Scan sampling (record behavior of animals per interval), focal animal sampling (records one animal continuously), flight initiation distance (walk towards them). Cortisol levels and glucocorticoid levels.

52
Q

Temperature

A

Thermometer, thermistor. Affects conduction, convection, radiation and evaporation.

53
Q

Windspeed

A

Anemometer. Affects forced convection and evaporation.

54
Q

Humidity

A

Sling psychrometer or electronic hygrometer. Affects evaporation.

55
Q

Thermal radiation

A

Pyrometer.
