Description:


To understand modern principles of sustainable management and
the conservation of wildlife species requires intimate knowledge
about demography, animal behavior, and ecosystem dynamics. With
emphasis on practical application and quantitative skill
development, this book weaves together these disparate elements in
a single
coherent textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students.
It reviews analytical techniques, explaining the mathematical and
statistical principles behind them, and shows how these can be used
to formulate
realistic objectives within an ecological framework. 


This third edition is comprehensive and up-to-date, and
includes:


Brand new chapters that disseminate rapidly developing topics in
the field: habitat use and selection; habitat fragmentation,
movement, and corridors; population viability. analysis, the
consequences of climate change; and evolutionary responses to
disturbance

A thorough updating of all chapters to present important areas of
wildlife research and management with recent developments and
examples.

A new online study aid ? a wide variety of downloadable
computer programs in the freeware packages R and Mathcad, available
through a companion website. Worked examples enable readers to
practice calculations explained in the text and to develop a solid
understanding of key statistical procedures and population models
commonly used in wildlife ecology and management.

The first half of the book provides a solid background in key
ecological concepts. The second half uses these concepts to develop
a deeper understanding
