Conservation and management activities are geared toward the achievement of particular goals for a specific species, or groups of species, at the population level or higher. Conversely, organismal or functional research is typically organized by hypothesis tests or descriptive work that examines a broader theory studying individual organismal traits. Here, we outline how integrative organismal biologists might conduct mutually beneficial, and meaningful research to inform or assist conservation and management biologists. We argue that studies of non-target species are very useful to both groups because non-target species can meet the goals of managers and organismal biologists alike, while also informing the other. We highlight our work on a threatened lizard species' thermal physiology, behavior, and color pattern - all of which are impacted by species management plans for sympatric, threatened, bird species. We show that management practices affect activity time, thermal adaptation, and substrate use, while also altering predation rates, crypsis, ectoparasite load, and sexual coloration in the study species. These case studies exemplify the challenges of conservation and management efforts for threatened or endangered species in that non-target species can be both positively and negatively affected by those efforts. Yet, the collaboration of organismal biologists with conservation and management efforts provides a productive system for mutually informative research.

保护和管理策略为综合生物研究创造机会

保护和管理活动旨在实现特定物种或物种群体在种群或更高级别的特定目标。相反,有机体或功能研究通常是通过假设检验或描述性工作来组织的,这些研究检验了研究个体有机体特征的更广泛的理论。在这里,我们概述了综合生物生物学家如何进行互惠互利和有意义的研究,以告知或协助保护和管理生物学家。我们认为对非目标物种的研究对这两个群体都非常有用,因为非目标物种可以满足管理者和生物生物学家的目标,同时也可以为对方提供信息。我们重点介绍了我们在受威胁蜥蜴物种的热生理学、行为、和颜色模式——所有这些都受到同域、受威胁、鸟类物种管理计划的影响。我们表明,管理实践会影响活动时间、热适应和底物使用,同时也会改变研究物种的捕食率、冷冻、外寄生物负荷和性着色。这些案例研究体现了受威胁或濒危物种保护和管理工作面临的挑战,因为这些工作可能会对非目标物种产生积极和消极影响。然而,生物生物学家与保护和管理工作的合作为相互提供信息的研究提供了一个富有成效的系统。同时还改变了研究物种的捕食率、隐匿性、外寄生物量和性着色。这些案例研究体现了受威胁或濒危物种保护和管理工作面临的挑战,因为这些工作可能会对非目标物种产生积极和消极影响。然而,生物生物学家与保护和管理工作的合作为相互提供信息的研究提供了一个富有成效的系统。同时还改变了研究物种的捕食率、隐匿性、外寄生物量和性着色。这些案例研究体现了受威胁或濒危物种保护和管理工作面临的挑战,因为这些工作可能会对非目标物种产生积极和消极影响。然而,生物生物学家与保护和管理工作的合作为相互提供信息的研究提供了一个富有成效的系统。
