Reference excerpt

The International Association for Bear Research and Management (IBA), sometimes shortened to International Bear Association, is a professional organization for biologists, wildlife managers and others which focuses on wildlife conservation of the eight species of bear. The organization has over 550 members in 50 countries. Its focuses are scientific management of bears; research, distribution of information, and international conferences on bear biology, ecology and management.

Conferences and publications The IBA hosts at least one conference in North America and at least one in Eurasia every three years. The 2013 conference was the 22nd, and took place September 15–21, 2013, in Provo, Utah, US. The first was held during August 1968 in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada. The IBA partners with the Bear Specialist Group (BSG), of the World Conservation Union (IUCN) and its Species Survival Commission, to publish the quarterly newsletter International Bear News. The IBA also publishes peer-reviewed manuscripts in the scientific journal Ursus which has two issues per year. Prior to Ursus, conference proceedings included invited papers and papers presented at conferences published as Bears: Their Biology and Management and later International Conference on Bear Research and Management.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with International Association for Bear Research and Management

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what International Association for Bear Research and Management claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to International Association for Bear Research and Management before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about International Association for Bear Research and Management ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of International Association for Bear Research and Management

In research: International Association for Bear Research and Management appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses International Association for Bear Research and Management in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: International Association for Bear Research and Management is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Bear conservation, Conservation and environmental foundations based in the United States, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for International Association for Bear Research and Management outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
