The latest edition of the gold standard in wildlife ecology textbooks In the fourth edition of Wildlife Ecology, Conservation and Management, two internationally recognized ecologists deliver a comprehensive treatment of key ecological concepts and principles relevant to wildlife management and conservation. The authors use globally applicable examples of real-life management situations to provide the reader with a broad perspective on international problems in conservation. The book relies on detailed case histories to demonstrate important concepts, as well as quantitative analyses to illustrate and illuminate ecological objectives and frameworks. It weaves together practical applications and ecological skill development, offering updated discussions of demographic parameter estimation, biostatistics, movement ecology, urban ecology, human-wildlife conflict, and rewilding. Readers will also find: Thorough introductions to relevant goals and decisions in wildlife ecology, as well as food and nutrition, home range, and habitat useIn-depth explorations of wildlife dispersal, dispersion, and distribution, as well as population growth and regulationComprehensive discussions of competition and facilitation between species, predation, and parasites and pathogensIn-depth examinations of ecosystem management and conservation, as well as habitat loss and metapopulation dynamicsPerfect for graduate and senior undergraduate students of ecology, Wildlife Ecology, Conservation and Management will also earn a place in the libraries of professional wildlife managers, park rangers, biological resource managers, and ecotourism professionals.
