  • Spatial Database for GPS Wildlife Tracking Data

    A Practical Guide to Creating a Data Management System with PostgreSQL/PostGIS and R

    Edited by Ferdinando Urbano, Francesca Cagnacci ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book guides animal ecologists, biologists and wildlife and data managers through a step-by-step procedure to build their own advanced software platforms to manage and process wildlife tracking data. This unique, problem-solving-oriented guide focuses on how to extract the most from GPS animal tracking data, while preventing error propagation and optimizing analysis performance. Based on the ...

  • Serengeti IV

    Sustaining Biodiversity in a Coupled Human-Natural System

    Edited by Anthony R. E. Sinclair, Kristine L. Metzger, Simon A. R. Mduma, John M. Fryxell ...
    The vast savannas and great migrations of the Serengeti conjure impressions of a harmonious and balanced ecosystem. But in reality, the history of the Serengeti is rife with battles between human and non-human nature. In the 1890s and several times since, the cattle virus rinderpest—at last vanquished in 2008—devastated both domesticated and wild ungulate populations, as well as the lives of ... Read more

  • Ecological Networks in the Tropics

    An Integrative Overview of Species Interactions from Some of the Most Species-Rich Habitats on Earth

    Edited by Wesley Dáttilo, Victor Rico-Gray ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Based on graph theory studies this book seeks to understand how tropical species interact with each other and how these interactions are affected by perturbations in some of the most species-rich habitats on earth. Due to the great diversity of species and interactions in the tropics, this book addresses a wide range of current and future issues with empirical examples and complete revisions on ... Read more

  • Recovering Biodiversity in Indian Forests

    by G. Vishwanatha Reddy, K. Ullas Karanth, N. Samba Kumar, Jagdish Krishnaswamy, Krithi K. Karanth ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book demonstrates how varying levels of human disturbance manifested through different management regimes influence composition, richness, diversity and abundance of key mammal, bird and plant species, even within ecologically similar habitats. Based on our results, we show the critical importance of the ‘wildlife preservation’ approach for effective biodiversity conservation. The study also ... Read more

  • Distribution Ecology

    From Individual Habitat Use to Species Biogeographical Range

    by Marcelo Hernán Cassini ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book brings together a set of approaches to the study of individual-species ecology based on the analysis of spatial variations of abundance. Distribution ecology assumes that ecological phenomena can be understood when analyzing the extrinsic (environmental) or intrinsic (physiological constraints, population mechanisms) that correlate with this spatial variation. Ecological processes depend ... Read more

  • Robustness, Plasticity, and Evolvability in Mammals

    A Thermal Niche Approach

    by Clara B. Jones ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Among the unresolved topics in evolutionary biology and behavioral ecology are the origins, mechanisms, evolution, and consequences of developmental and phenotypic diversity. In an attempt to address these challenges, plasticity has been investigated empirically and theoretically at all levels of biological organization—from biochemical to whole organism and beyond to the population, community, ...

  • Landslide Ecology

    by Lawrence R. Walker, Aaron B. Shiels ...
    Series series Ecology, Biodiversity and Conservation
    Despite their often dangerous and unpredictable nature, landslides provide fascinating templates for studying how soil organisms, plants and animals respond to such destruction. The emerging field of landslide ecology helps us understand these responses, aiding slope stabilisation and restoration and contributing to the progress made in geological approaches to landslide prediction and mitigation. ...

  • Biogeography of Australasia

    A Molecular Analysis

    by Michael Heads ...
    Over the last decade, molecular studies carried out on the Australasian biota have revealed a new world of organic structure that exists from submicroscopic to continental scale. Furthermore, in studies of global biogeography and evolution, DNA sequencing has shown that many large groups, such as flowering plants, passerine birds and squamates, have their basal components in this area. Using ... Read more

  • Biodiversity Offsets

    European Perspectives on No Net Loss of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services

    Edited by Wolfgang Wende, Graham - M. Tucker, Fabien Quétier, Matt Rayment, Marianne Darbi ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book deals with the new concept of biodiversity offsets. The aim of offsetting schemes is to achieve no let loss or even net gain of biodiversity. Offsets obey a mitigation hierarchy and reflect the precautionary and polluter-pays principle in regard to project impacts.Readers gain insights into current debates on biodiversity policies, with top experts outlining theoretical principles and ...

  • Invasion Dynamics

    by Cang Hui, David M. Richardson ...
    Humans have moved organisms around the world for centuries but it is only relatively recently that invasion ecology has grown into a mainstream research field. This book examines both the spread and impact dynamics of invasive species, placing the science of invasion biology on a new, more rigorous, theoretical footing, and proposing a concept of adaptive networks as the foundation for future ...

  • Fencing for Conservation

    Restriction of Evolutionary Potential or a Riposte to Threatening Processes?

    Edited by Michael J. Somers, Matthew Hayward ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    The conflict between increasing human population and biodiversity conservation is one of the IUCN’s key threatening processes. Conservation planning has received a great deal of coverage and research as a way of conserving biodiversity yet, while theoretically successful, it has never been tested. Simple lines on maps to illustrate conservation areas are unlikely to be successful in the light of ... Read more

  • Biodiversity Conservation and Environmental Change

    Using palaeoecology to manage dynamic landscapes in the Anthropocene

    by Lindsey Gillson ...
    Ecosystems today are dynamic and complex, leaving conservationists faced with the paradox of conserving moving targets. New approaches to conservation are now required that aim to conserve ecological function and process, rather than attempt to protect static snapshots of biodiversity. To do this effectively, long-term information on ecosystem variability and resilience is needed. While there is a ... Read more
