SUMMARY:Faculty Seminar: Prof. Zeev Arad [No Categories]
DESCRIPTION:Location: Biology auditorium  Prof. Zeev Arad\n Affiliation: \n
  Host:Dr. Sagi Levy\n Eco-physiological research and wetland conservation:
  insights from pelican and cormorant studies in Israel. \n\n \n\nThe dete
 rioration of wetlands resulting from global climate change\, development\,
  and habitat fractionation render long-distance migrating birds face diffi
 culties in finding proper sites for rest and re-fueling. In Israel\, which
  is a bottleneck for some 600 million migrating birds\, the drainage of th
 e Hula Lake resulted in serious conflicts with intensive fisheries and agr
 iculture. Implementation of various deterrence methods\, including killing
 \, failed to solve these conflicts. We have offered the concept that only 
 the understanding of the biology of the organism in question may give us t
 he tools (indications) for a proper management that will solve such confli
 cts while helping the preservation of natural assets such as wetlands.\n\n
 We demonstrate this in solutions reached in the case studies of pelicans a
 nd cormorants. We have studied their physiological condition\, food prefer
 ence\, energy demands and ecological constraints. As a result\, we were ab
 le to offer differential management and implement our suggested solutions 
 with the full cooperation of the fishermen and the nature preservation aut
 horities. We have shown that such solutions are economically helpful for f
 ishermen and enable the preservation of the wetland habitat.  \n\n&nbsp\;
