The greed for money and profit are guilty of destroying wildlife faster than we can ever imagine.

Racoons are not the only bandits wearing masks in the wilderness. Growing up, author Kennie Prince spent most of his time in the woods and creeks near his home in Rankin County, Mississippi. A highly skilled outdoorsman, Prince began his career with the Mississippi Department of Wildlife Conservation in 1983 and dedicated his life to protecting Mississippi's fish and wildlife resources in dangerous undercover work. The Poacher's Nightmare: Stories of an Undercover Game Warden contains dozens of hair-raising accounts of covert wildlife operations, often spanning years, requiring ingenious planning, complicated secrecy, and deft coordination. Prince infiltrated bloody-minded, wary criminal groups, winning their trust. When his traps were fully set, he involved other state and federal law enforcement officials to bring an abrupt halt to abominable thefts of vast fish and wildlife resources from the public trust. Smart, creative, knowledgeable, tenacious, disciplined, passionate, and a natural-born actor, Prince bore a unique skillset that made him an ideal fit for this perilous undertaking. This memoir details how Prince gained the confidence of tightly knit circles of loyal, leery poachers and put an end to their destructive evil.

Wie entlockt man Tieren die Geheimnisse ihrer Lebensweise, wenn sie an Orten leben, die für Menschen unerreichbar sind? Dieser Frage konnte erst durch die Entwicklung sogenannter "Datenlogger" nachgegangen werden, die in den 1960er-Jahren entwickelt und zuerst bei Robben und Pinguinen eingesetzt wurden, um deren Tauchverhalten zu entschlüsseln. Aus vielen Forschungszweigen sind sie nicht mehr wegzudenken und die Einsatzmöglichkeiten werden ständig erweitert. "Der gläserne Vogel" ist daher längst Realität. Mit diesem Buch möchte das Autorenteam die Leserinnen und Leser zu einer Reise in die faszinierende Welt der gläsernen Vögel einladen. Sie zeichnen dabei anhand ausgewählter Forschungsprojekte und auf der Grundlage eigener Erkenntnisse aus der Vogelforschung den abenteuerlichen Weg vom ersten Logger-Prototypen bis zu den winzigen High-Tech-Geräten der heutigen Generation nach. Der dadurch gewonnene Einblick in die spannende Welt der Naturwissenschaften soll gleichzeitig dabei helfen, brandaktuelle Themen wie Naturschutz, Klimawandel und Biodiversität besser zu verstehen und einordnen zu können.

See- und Küstenvögel sind ein wichtiger Bestandteil der marinen Artenvielfalt und ein Indikator für den Zustand der Meere. Sie gehören jedoch zu den am stärksten gefährdeten Vogelgruppen der Erde, denn mehr als die Hälfte der weltweit 346 Arten sind von Bestandsrückgängen betroffen. Gefahren wie Klimawandel, Überfischung, Müll im Meer und inzwischen auch die Geflügelpest setzen den Tieren zu. Das Falke Sonderheft 2023 "See und Küstenvögel" gibt einen Überblick über deren Situation mit den Schwerpunkten Nord- und Ostsee und geht auf Lösungsansätze und Schutzmaßnahmen ein.

Dogs are a valued part of millions of households worldwide. They also serve many functions in human societies from herding livestock to detecting drugs, explosives, or illegal wildlife to providing physical assistance or emotional support to those in need. Yet, in terms of behavior and cognition, dogs have only become a serious subject of scientific study in the last 20 years. Similarly, we have recently witnessed a sharp increase in studies of canine-human interaction, exploring the motivational, emotional, cognitive, physiological, and neural mechanisms of dogs on human psychology and well-being. This book is a collection of chapters stemming from the Nebraska Symposium on Motivation, which focused on Canine Cognition and the Human Bond. The primary goal of this symposium was to bring together researchers from psychology, biology, neuroscience, and anthropology to delve deeper into the canine-human bond. These chapters describe the current state of knowledge from international experts in the fields of canine cognition and canine-human interaction. Bridging these two areas can help us better understand the canine-human bond, potentially improving the lives of both dogs and people.
