Demography, Genetics, and Management
Population ecology has matured to a sophisticated science with
astonishing potential for contributing solutions to wildlife
conservation and management challenges. And yet, much of the
applied power of wildlife population ecology remains untapped
because its broad sweep across disparate subfields has been
isolated in specialized texts. In this book, L. Scott Mills
covers the full spectrum of applied wildlife population ecology,
including genomic tools for non-invasive genetic sampling,
predation, population projections, climate change and invasive
species, harvest modeling, viability analysis, focal species
concepts, and analyses of connectivity in fragmented landscapes.
With a readable style, analytical rigor, and hundreds of examples
drawn from around the world, Conservation of Wildlife
Populations (2nd ed) provides the conceptual basis
for applying population ecology to wildlife conservation
decision-making. Although targeting primarily undergraduates
and beginning graduate students with some basic training in basic
ecology and statistics (in majors that could include wildlife
biology, conservation biology, ecology, environmental studies, and
biology), the book will also be useful for practitioners in the
field who want to find - in one place and with plenty of applied
examples - the latest advances in the genetic and demographic
aspects of population ecology.
