Fundamentals of conservation biology / Malcom L. Hunter Jr (2021)  

Public ISBD Titre : Fundamentals of conservation biology Type de document : livre Auteurs : Malcom L. Hunter Jr, Auteur ; James P. Gibbs, Auteur ; Viorel D.

Ltd; Figures downloading from the companion website at : https://www.wiley.com/Conservation-Biology4e Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Biodiversity  Nature conservation  Natural resources management  Case studies Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : “This book is about hope in the face of forces that would degrade our world. This book is about the rich tapestry of life that shares our world now and about how we can maintain it, sometimes in places that we protect and set aside, more often in places where we share the lands and waters with a wide range of other species.” For more than 30 years, Fundamentals of Conservation Biology has been a valued mainstay of the literature, serving both to introduce new students to this ever-changing topic, and to provide an essential resource for academics and researchers working in the discipline. In the decade since the publication of the third edition, concerns about humanity’s efforts to conserve the natural world have only grown deeper, as new threats to biodiversity continue to emerge. This fourth edition has taken into account a vast new literature, and boasts nearly a thousand new references as a result. By embracing new theory and practice and documenting many examples of both conservation successes and the hard lessons of real-world “wicked” environmental problems, Fundamentals of Conservation Biology remains a vital resource for biologists, conservationists, ecologists, environmentalists, and others.

Practical field ecology / C. Philip Wheater (2020)  

Public ISBD Titre : Practical field ecology Type de document : livre Auteurs : C. Philip Wheater, Auteur ; Penny A. Cook, Auteur ; James R. Bell, Auteur Mention d'édition : 2nd ed. Editeur : Hoboken, New Jersey : Wiley-Blackwell Année de publication : 2020 Importance : 424 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-119-41322-6 Prix : 60.00 USD Note générale : Voir aussi le "companion website" qui fournit d'autres ressources pour ce livre : https://bcs.wiley.com/he-bcs/Books?action=index&itemId=1119413222&bcsId=11891 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Field experimentation  Methodology  Plants  Animals  Sampling  Monitoring  Data processing Résumé : This book introduces experimental design and data analysis / interpretation as well as field monitoring skills for both plants and animals. Clearly structured throughout and written in a student-friendly manner, the main emphasis of the book concentrates on the techniques required to design a field based ecological survey and shows how to execute an appropriate sampling regime. The book evaluates appropriate methods, including the problems associated with various techniques and their inherent flaws (e.g. low sample sizes, large amount of field or laboratory work, high cost etc). This provides a resource base outlining details from the planning stage, into the field, guiding through sampling and finally through organism identification in the laboratory and computer based data analysis and interpretation. The text is divided into six distinct chapters. The first chapter covers planning, including health and safety together with information on a variety of statistical techniques for examining and analysing data. Following a chapter dealing with site characterisation and general aspects of species identification, subsequent chapters describe the techniques used to survey and census particular groups of organisms. The final chapter covers interpreting and presenting data and writing up the research. The emphasis here is on appropriate wording of interpretation and structure and content of the report. New in the Second Edition There are a few new areas that have developed in the 5 years since publication of the first edition (for example, in terms of some field techniques that have become more sophisticated, laboratory techniques that have now moved into the field at an appropriate cost, and some statistical techniques that are now more accessible). In addition, it would be beneficial to update websites, references, and some of the details (especially of the researchers highlighted) within the case studies. There are a few areas where additional illustrations, new case studies (and links to further references within the existing case studies), a slight expansion of some methods, and some additional explanation of more difficult concepts could help the reader.

ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4443-3504-0 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Biodiversity conservation  Biogeography  Conservation biology  Protected areas Résumé : The Earth's ecosystems are in the midst of an unprecedented period of change as a result of human action. Many habitats have been completely destroyed or divided into tiny fragments, others have been transformed through the introduction of new species, or the extinction of native plants and animals, while anthropogenic climate change now threatens to completely redraw the geographic map of life on this planet. The urgent need to understand and prescribe solutions to this complicated and interlinked set of pressing conservation issues has lead to the transformation of the venerable academic discipline of biogeography – the study of the geographic distribution of animals and plants. The newly emerged sub-discipline of conservation biogeography uses the conceptual tools and methods of biogeography to address real world conservation problems and to provide predictions about the fate of key species and ecosystems over the next century. This book provides the first comprehensive review of the field in a series of closely interlinked chapters addressing the central issues within this exciting and important subject.others have been transformed through the introduction of new species, or the extinction of native plants and animals, while anthropogenic climate change now threatens to completely redraw the geographic map of life on this planet.
