What to study for Quiz #4, 6 November 2009

 

This quiz will cover new material since the midterm exam (26, 28, and 30 October and 2 and 4 November).  It will cover material from 1 powerpoint – “History of Wildlife Laws and regulations” (all but the last slide).  We have also done some supplemental activities since then…a video for class on Wednesday and a discussion of the sensitivity analysis.  These topics could wend their way into a quiz question.

 

I will probably not ask you specific dates, but you should certainly know about events that occurred in particular eras.

 

So important wildlife law/regulation/policy topics to know for the quiz:

State “ownership” as a public trust

Court cases Geer v. CT and Hughes v. OK

Federal jurisdiction in the Commerce, Property, and Treaty-making clauses

Plume hunting – what was it, what legislation did it lead to
