内容説明

Today, zoos and wildlife parks are much more than collections of exotic animals. They may house the few remaining members of an endangered species and are centres of research in animal care and conservation. This handbook brings together information gathered from studies of animal behaviour, advances in breeding, genetics and nutrition research, and studies of animal management and welfare. The book surveys significant scientific, technical, and management issues. Organized into seven parts, the 48 chapters cover the basics of husbandry and nutrition; the design, planning and management of exhibits in zoos and parks; behaviour, reproduction and breeding; genetics and population management; and research with captive mammals.

内容説明

This study focuses on new approaches to the management of wild animals in captivity. This text surveys field and captive studies of animal behaviour, advance in captive breeding, research in physiology, genetics and nutrition, and new thinking in animal management and welfare. Covering every significant scientific, technical and management issue, this resource is aimed at all who work directly with mammals, or who are concerned with their management and conservation. The naturalists Gerald and Lee Durrell have contributed forewords to the book.
