However, this is the first book to thoroughly analyse and explain the interesting and changing scientific research that has been accomplished in South Africa's national parks during the twentieth century. Providing a fascinating and thorough historical narrative based on an extensive range of sources, this text details the evolution of traditional natural history pursuits to modern conservation science in South Africa, covering all research areas of conservation biology and all the national parks around the country. It reveals the interaction between the international context, government, learning institutions and the public that has shaped the present conservation arena. A complex story that will interest and inform not only those involved in conservation science of South Africa, but worldwide.

Ecology of populations / Ranta, Esa (2006)  

Public ISBD Titre : Ecology of populations Type de document : livre Auteurs : Ranta, Esa, Auteur ; Lundberg, Per, Auteur ; Kaitala, Veijo, Auteur Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : Cambridge, UK : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2006 Collection : Ecology, biodiversity and conservation Importance : 373 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-67033 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ecology  Population biology  Spatial behavior Résumé : The theme of this book is the distribution of the abundance of organisms in space and time. Its core lies in how local births and deaths are tied to emigration and immigration processes, and how environmental variability at different scales affects population dynamics with stochastic processes and spatial structure. The book shows how elementary analytical tools can be used to understand population fluctuations, synchrony, processes underlying range distributions and community structure and species coexistence, as well as how spatial population dynamics models can be used to understand life history evolution and aspects of evolutionary game theory.
