Product Description

Review

‘… fascinating reading … a must for all fans of the carnivores, as well as students of conservation and carnivore biology.’ Graham J. Holloway, Biologist


Product Description

Carnivores are the focus of intense attention and resources in conservation biology. It is often argued that, because carnivores are at the top of the food chain, if they are protected, then other taxa will also be afforded adequate protection. Carnivores are also charismatic and compete with humans for dwindling space and environmental resources. In the past 10 years, theoretical and empirical studies on carnivores have developed very quickly. This volume reviews and summarises the current state of the field, describes limitations and opportunities for carnivore conservation, and offers a conceptual framework for future research and applied management. As such it will be of interest to students and researchers of conservation biology, mammalogy, animal behaviour, ecology and evolution.

5.0 out of 5 stars A core text for any student studying biology with a passion for conservation, 21 Jan 2009
By JP (South East, UK) - See all my reviews
This book covers a breadth of subject areas without compromising it's depth and important message. With contributions by many prestigious scientists, this book is an essential bible for any A-level, undergraduate or postgraduate student studying biology. It's clarity and structure also makes this book accessible to any member of the public who has little knowledge of the problems and controversy surrounding conservation, and gives full-reference to important academic, peer-reviewed papers.

The topics covered range from the threats facing different taxa, the methods currently imposed and proposed to solve conservation problems, including genetics and human-carnivore relationships. This book is so diverse that it should be on the reading lists of any biological sciences, zoology and ecology courses. I cannot recommend this book enough! It certainly helped me with my thesis. You won't be disappointed.
