INCIDENTAL EFFECT [5 records]

Record 1 2020-05-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Environmental Studies and Analyses
  • Bird Watching (Hobbies)
CONT

Incidental observations are casual wildlife sightings that happen when you’re outside – hiking, camping, swimming, driving, etc. Spotting a species in the "right place at the right time" can have a far-reaching effect. Knowing what species are present in different locations helps identify areas that are important(e. g. breeding sites, hibernation sites, migration routes, etc.), which also helps to improve conservation efforts.

CONT

Chance observations provided the earliest data on raptor diet, and are still recorded today. These are the events all naturalists happen to see, such as a flying buzzard with an especially long snake dangling limply below it ... There was no forethought to go and record what buzzards were eating, but having seen something exciting the observer may want to record it in a local bird report or online. Why should a modern scientist bother with such unsystematic data when trying to make an assessment of buzzard diet? ... while such chance observations can’t be used on their own to understand common buzzard behaviour, they do supplement the more rigorous data collection and help to complete the picture of diet diversity.

CONT

Consigner les observations fortuites d'animaux sauvages constitue un moyen peu coûteux et efficace de recueillir des renseignements sur les tendances à long terme de l'abondance et de la répartition des espèces sauvages. C'est également une activité à laquelle les visiteurs du parc peuvent participer et ainsi contribuer à la surveillance de l'intégrité écologique du parc. Dans le parc national des Monts-Torngat et ses environs, ces observations sont consignées sur des fiches dont les données sont saisies dans une base de données.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Agences et services de publicité
CONT

La Loi fédérale sur le tabac, adoptée par le Parlement en 1997, impose des restrictions partielles à la publicité sur le tabac, mais est loin de prévoir une interdiction totale de ce type de publicité. Dans sa forme actuelle, la Loi permet la publicité dans les publications, le publipostage direct et les bars.

  • Health Law

CONT

There are two possible forms of subsumed consent(albeit not carefully distinguished in the literature). The first arises where the intervention in issue is in effect a sub-procedure of, or is necessarily incidental to, the procedure explicitly consented to.... The second possible form of subsumed consent arises where the explicit consent to a particular procedure contains a blanket consent to other unspecified procedures.
