Opis

This Primer nurtures the development of biologists interested in using animal behavior concepts and tools to solve conservation and wildlife management problems. This is the first practical guide fostering integration and showing how to apply these methodologies to issues that would benefit from an animal behavior perspective.

Recenzje

A worthwhile read for students and professionals alike who are concerned with conservation and management of captive and wild populations.
