Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is the first fully integrated undergraduate text focussing on the ecology and management of wildlife, with an emphasis on mammals and birds. The first eleven chapters of the book take the reader through the basic principles of ecology necessary for an understanding of wildlife management. Further chapters progress to the practical problems experienced in wildlife management, treating management as problems in applied ecology.
