Research and Management of Animals in Mediterranean-Type Ecosystems : A Summary and Synthesis 1

Professor of Biological Sciences, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, California 91768, U.S.A. Summarizing a session as diverse as this one has been challenging. The papers deal with animals as different as insects and Mountain Sheep, from five different parts of the world, both domestic and feral, and from the perspective of both research scientists and land managers. The only thing these papers have in common is that they all deal with animals in Mediterraneantype ecosystems. In the summary that follows I have drawn inferences which may not be in accordance with the professional opinions of all session participants. It is my intention to stimulate further thought on the subject at hand, not to have the last word, and I am solely responsible for what follows.
