Description

This series of readings from "Conservation Biology" gives easy access to papers ever published in a range of important fields. This book on wildlife and forests can make course preparation easy - a ready-made collection of representative papers available in a format students can use. Readings should also be useful for researchers and academics needing an update in this specific subject area. All the disciplines that contribute to the study and preservation of species and habitats are represented in the series: population genetics, systematics, wildlife biology, ecosystems ecology, landscape ecology, economics, conservation management and environmental ethics.
