Quantitative conservation of vertebrates - Chichester, West Sussex, UK ; Hoboken, NJ : Wiley-Blackwell, 2009. - viii, 342 p. : ill., maps ; 1 CD-ROM (4 3/4 in.)
Included Index
Basic concepts in scientific investigations for conservation --
Conservation studies and monitoring programs --
Integrating modeling and monitoring for conservation.
The conservation of vertebrate populations is a large component of many conservation projects and courses. This book offers a readable and comprehensive guide to conservation study techniques including the use of computer models, data analysis and study design, population monitoring, and decision making.
"This book provides a hands-on introduction to the construction and application of models to studies of vertebrate distribution, abundance, and habitat. The book is aimed at field biologists, conservation planners, and advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students who are involved with planning and analyzing conservation studies, and applying the results to conservation decisions. The book also acts as a bridge to more advanced and mathematically challenging coverage in the scientific literature."--Jacket.
