Ecology and Conservation of Forest Birds
An authoritative review of the ecology of forest birds and their conservation issues throughout the Northern Hemisphere.
Ecology and Management of the African Buffalo
This interdisciplinary volume covers the ecology, conservation and management of the African buffalo, one of iconic Africa's Big Five.
Ecological Bulletins, Targets and Tools for the Maintenance of Forest Biodiversity
Maintaining forest biodiversity by combining protection, management and restoration of forest and woodland landscapes is a central component of sustainable development. Evidence that there are threshold levels for how much habitat loss may be tolerated for viable populations of specialised species to be maintained. Policy-makers, businesses and managers pose questions about how to balance use of renewable forest resources and conserve biodiversity. Examples are presented on how biodiversity assessments can be made. Proposes how the critical gaps in our knowledge identified throughout the book could be filled through macroecological research and international co-operation.
Restoration of Boreal and Temperate Forests
While the commitment to protect and restore forest ecosystems has become a policy goal in many countries since the Rio Conference, there is still no general consensus on what constitutes restoration. This authoritative reference presents the best practices for fostering increased sustainability, enhancing biodiversity, and repairing ecosystem func
Living a Land Ethic
"A significant and important story about how a small group of landowners, inspired by Aldo Leopold, pioneered private conservation and ecological restoration. It offers an insightful reflection on what it means to live the 'land ethic' that is quite relevant to today's growing conservation challenges."--Tia Nelson
Ecology and Conservation of Mountain Birds
High mountain habitats are globally important for biodiversity. At least 12% of birds worldwide breed at or above the treeline, many of which are endemic species or species of conservation concern. However, due to the challenges of studying mountain birds in difficult-to-access habitats, little is known about their status and trends. This book provides the first global review of the ecology, evolution, life history and conservation of high mountain birds, including comprehensive coverage of their key habitats across global mountain regions, assessments of diversity patterns along elevation gradients, and adaptations for life in the alpine zone. The main threats to mountain bird populations are also identified, including climate change, human land use and recreational activities. Written for ecologists and naturalists, this book identifies key knowledge gaps and clearly establishes the research priorities needed to increase our understanding of the ecology of mountain birds and to aid in their conservation.
Hunting Wildlife in the Tropics and Subtropics
Provides a comprehensive review of all topics related to the use and overuse of wildlife for their meat.
Joint Species Distribution Modelling
A comprehensive account of joint species distribution modelling, covering statistical analyses in light of modern community ecology theory.
Ecosystem Collapse and Recovery
Examines how ecosystems can collapse as a result of human activity, and the ecological processes underlying their subsequent recovery.
Why Conserve Nature?
A philosophical discussion about the meanings of nature which can give rise to our motivations to conserve nature.
