Produktbeschreibung

A compilation of scientific research, this volume elucidates the theoretical underpinnings of wildlife management and applies evolving ecological concepts to changes and adaptations in management practices. Divided into five parts, the first two deal with the landscape ecology of birds and mammals respectively. Part three highlights the importance of considering climate when applying ecological theory to habitat management. Part four considers wildlife disease and reveals the role of genetics in conservation and ecology, and part five covers the economic and social issues affecting wildlife science.
