  • Second Growth

    The Promise of Tropical Forest Regeneration in an Age of Deforestation

    de Robin L. Chazdon ...
    For decades, conservation and research initiatives in tropical forests have focused almost exclusively on old-growth forests because scientists believed that these “pristine” ecosystems housed superior levels of biodiversity. With Second Growth, Robin L. Chazdon reveals those assumptions to be largely false, bringing to the fore the previously overlooked counterpart to old-growth forest: second ... Leer más

  • Animal Behavior and Wildlife Conservation

    Edición de Marco Festa-Bianchet, Marco Apollonio ...
    Efforts to conserve wildlife populations and preserve biological diversity are often hampered by an inadequate understanding of animal behavior. How do animals react to gaps in forested lands, or to sport hunters? Do individual differences—in age, sex, size, past experience—affect how an animal reacts to a given situation? Differences in individual behavior may determine the success or failure of ... Leer más
