Conservation physiology: applications for wildlife conservation and management / Christine L. Madliger (2021)  

Public ISBD Titre : Conservation physiology: applications for wildlife conservation and management Type de document : livre Auteurs : Christine L. Madliger, Éditeur scientifique ; Craig Edwin Franklin, Éditeur scientifique ; Oliver P. Love, Éditeur scientifique ; Steven J. Cooke, Éditeur scientifique Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2021 Importance : 342 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-884362-7 Prix : 37.99 GBP Note générale : DOI:10.1093/oso/9780198843610.001.0001 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Wildlife management  Ecophysiology  Nature conservation  Biodiversity  Case study Résumé : La 4ème de couv. indique : "Conservation physiology is a rapidly expanding, multidisciplinary field that utilizes physiological knowledge and tools to understand and solve conservation challenges. This novel text provides the first consolidated overview of its scope, purpose, and applications, with a focus on wildlife. It outlines the major avenues and advances by which conservation physiology is contributing to the monitoring, management, and restoration of wild animal populations. This book also defines opportunities for further growth in the field and identifies critical areas for future investigation. By using a series of global case studies, contributors illustrate how approaches from the conservation physiology toolbox can tackle a diverse range of conservation issues including the monitoring of environmental stress, predicting the impact of climate change, understanding disease dynamics, improving captive breeding, and reducing human-wildlife conflict. Moreover, by acting as practical road maps across a diversity of sub-disciplines, these case studies serve to increase the accessibility of this discipline to new researchers. The diversity of taxa, biological scales, and ecosystems highlighted illustrate the far-reaching nature of the discipline and allow readers to gain an appreciation for the purpose, value, applicability, and status of the field of conservation physiology."

The biology of Mediterranean-type ecosystems / Karen J. Esler (2018)  

Public ISBD Titre : The biology of Mediterranean-type ecosystems Type de document : livre Auteurs : Karen J. Esler, Auteur ; Anna L. Jacobsen, Auteur ; R. Brandon Pratt, Auteur Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2018 Collection : The biology of habitats Importance : 336 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-873914-2 Note générale : DOI:10.1093/oso/9780198739135.001.0001 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Mediterranean region  Climate change  Conservation  Biodiversity  Ecology  Ecophysiology  Evolution  Scrublands  Habitats  Case study Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : The world’s mediterranean-type climate regions (including areas within the Mediterranean, South Africa, Australia, California, and Chile) have long been of interest to biologists by virtue of their extraordinary biodiversity and the appearance of evolutionary convergence between these disparate regions. Comparisons between mediterranean-type climate regions have provided important insights into questions at the cutting edge of ecological, ecophysiological and evolutionary research. These regions, dominated by evergreen shrubland communities, contain many rare and endemic species. Their mild climate makes them appealing places to live and visit and this has resulted in numerous threats to the species and communities that occupy them. Threats include a wide range of factors such as habitat loss due to development and agriculture, disturbance, invasive species, and climate change. As a result, they continue to attract far more attention than their limited geographic area might suggest. This book provides a concise but comprehensive introduction to mediterranean-type ecosystems. As with other books in the Biology of Habitats Series, the emphasis in this book is on the organisms that dominate these regions although their management, conservation, and restoration are also considered.
