This thesis deals with the development and application of a new tool to assess the conservation significance of wetland avifauna. Termed the Waterbird Conservation Value (WCV) score, this method sums the proportion of each species' count relative to the global 1% threshold level for each species; the value obtained measures the overall conservation importance of the wetland to waterbirds. 2014-12-30T19:56:50Z 2014-12-30T19:56:50Z 2012 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10665 eng application/pdf Department of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
