Covering all thirteen species of wild cattle, Ecology, Evolution and Behaviour of Wild Cattle brings together the contributions of international leading experts on the biology, evolution, conservation status and management of the tribe Bovini, providing: • A comprehensive review of current knowledge on systematic, anatomy and ecology of all wild cattle species (chapters 1 to 8); • A clear understanding of the conservation status of each species and the gaps in our current knowledge (chapters 9 to 20); • A number of case studies on conservation activities and an investigation of some of the most threatened and poorly understood species (chapters 21 to 27). An invaluable resource for students, researchers, and professionals in behavioural ecology, evolutionary biology and conservation biology, this beautifully illustrated reference work reveals the extraordinary link between wild cattle and humans, the benefits some of these species have brought us, and their key roles in their natural ecosystems.

Wild pigs inhabit vast areas in Europe, Southern Asia and Africa, and have been introduced in North and South America, while feral pigs are widespread in Australia and New Zealand. Many wild pig species are threatened with extinction, but Eurasian wild boar populations, however, are increasing in many regions. Covering all wild pig and peccary species, the Suidae and Tayassuidae families, this comprehensive review presents new information about the evolution, taxonomy and domestication of wild pigs and peccaries alongside novel case studies on conservation activities and management. One hundred leading experts from twenty five countries synthesise understanding of this group of species; discussing current research, and gaps in the knowledge of researchers, conservation biologists, zoologists, wildlife managers and students. This beautifully illustrated reference includes the long history of interactions between wild pigs and humans, the benefits some species have brought us and their role and impact on natural ecosystems.

Bears have fascinated people since ancient times. The relationship between bears and humans dates back thousands of years, during which time we have also competed with bears for shelter and food. In modern times, bears have come under pressure through encroachment on their habitats, climate change, and illegal trade in their body parts, including the Asian bear bile market. The IUCN lists six bears as vulnerable or endangered, and even the least concern species, such as the brown bear, are at risk of extirpation in certain countries. The poaching and international trade of these most threatened populations are prohibited, but still ongoing. Covering all bears species worldwide, this beautifully illustrated volume brings together the contributions of 200 international bear experts on the ecology, conservation status, and management of the Ursidae family. It reveals the fascinating long history of interactions between humans and bears and the threats affecting these charismatic species.

Movement Ecology of Afrotropical Forest Mammals
AvRafael Reyna-Hurtado,Colin A. Chapmanm. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2023
1 876 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book brings a unique perspective to animal movement studies because all studies come from African tropical environments where the great diversity, either biological and structurally (trees, shrubs, vines, epiphytes), present the animals with several options to fulfil their basic needs. These conditions have forced the evolution of unique movement patterns and ecological strategies. The book follows on our previous book “Movement Ecology of Neotropical Forest Mammals” but focuses on tropical African forests. Movement is an essential process in the life of all organisms. Animals move because they are looking for primary needs such as food, water, cover, mating and to avoid predators. Understanding the causes and consequences of animal movement is not an easy task for behavioural ecologists. Many animals are shy, move in secretive ways and are very sensible to human presence, therefore, studying the movements of mammals in tropical environments presents logistical and methodologicalchallenges. However, researchers have recently started to be solved these challenges and exciting new information is emerging. In this book we are compiling a set of extraordinary studies where researchers have used new technology and the strongest methodological approaches to understand movement patterns in wild African forest mammals. This second book should inspire early career researchers to investigate wild mammal´s movements in some of the most amazing forest in the world: African tropical forests.

The first volume of the Handbook of the Mammals of Middle and South America presents a comprehensive synthesis of the historical, biogeographic, and conservation dimensions of Latin American mammalogy. This volume offers a rigorous, region-wide account of mammalian research across Middle and South America and the Caribbean region, with country-specific chapters documenting the historical development of mammalogy in over 20 countries.A country-by-country chronicle of the history of mammalian research.In-depth analyses of speciation, mammal taxonomy, and biogeography, with cutting-edge insights from phylogenomics.Critical discussions on climate change, invasive species, wildlife trafficking, and Anthropocene extinctions.Reviews of mammal conservation strategies, human-mammal interactions, and the shifting dynamics of mammal habitats and biodiversity hotspots.Explorations of paleontological transformations from the Middle Miocene to the Holocene, including the rise and fall of megafauna.With chapters on zoonotic diseases, conservation status, and the Linnaean shortfall in species discovery, this volume is an indispensable resource for academics, students, and professionals in mammalogy, ecology, and wildlife management. Rich in historical context and scientific rigor, it illuminates the past and present of mammal science in the region—and helps shape its future.A landmark reference for understanding the mammals of Latin America and the Caribbean region—where biodiversity meets biogeography, and history meets hope.
