To ensure quality, published information goes through a peer review process, in which other scientists in the field review and comment on the work. However, not all sources of information available to the public are peer reviewed, and as consumers of information, we need to understand how to evaluate those sources.

Figure 19.17 One form of mimicry is when a harmless species mimics the coloration of a harmful species, as is seen with the (a) wasp (Polistes sp.) and the (b) hoverfly (Syrphus sp.).

Population size, growth, reproduction, and regulation all characterize the populations of species that wildlife biologists study. In fact, a solid understanding of these parameters is critical for managing any wildlife species.

This is an example of a commensal relationship, in which one species (the bird) benefits, while the other (the tree) neither benefits nor is harmed. (credit: “Hanay”/Wikimedia Commons)

Fisheries (fish and other commercially important aquatic organisms) are often included in wildlife biology. The study not only includes the animals themselves, but also the resources and habitats they require to survive.
