内容説明
This volume presents a series of case histories illustrating the methodology and problems of population work in mammals. The topics covered fall into two main categories; firstly, a broad range of techniques is considered for estimating and monitoring population size in both land and marine mammals. Problems associated with this kind of work are also discussed. Secondly, methods and models for predicting change in populations and the problem of relating population dynamics to disease and to environmental change are also covered. Many of the chapters use rare and endangered species as case studies; others discuss those species cropped as a resource - red deer, for example - and some species, such as coypus, that are regarded as pests because of their impact on the production of food or timber, or as vectors of human disease. A broad range of zoologists, naturalists and environmental scientists.
