| Abstract |
Some
examples are presented that demonstrate the necessity of long-term studies for
behavioural and population ecology as well as analyses of life histories to
make up re liable foundations for conservation. The following propositions are
illustrated: • Long-term studies may avoid misinterpretations of phenomena in the field of evolutionary ecology. • Long-term studies may avoid underestimation of reproductive flexibility as well as plasticity in habitat selection, and may preclude misjudgement of habitat quality. • Conservation measures run the risk of being unefficient or even counter-productive unless based on a sound comprehension of species' life history and population ecology - which normally requires long term studies (especially in perennial species). • Only continuous long-term monitoring allows of separating fluctuations from real trends. • Monitoring in intervals of several years often is misleading. • Long-term studies help to identify stock size determinants as well as the influence of phenological factors on stock development. • Long-term data sets may be reminiscent of experiments. Short-term knowledge of an area may cause false estimations of its conservation potential. |
