Bøker i Techniques in Ecology & Conservation-serien

A new updated edition of this popular guide to conservation education, concentrating largely on techniques and discussing why, when, and how to develop education materials and implement effective programs.

The management of Invasive Alien Species is a rapidly advancing field of applied ecology. This is an authoritative synthesis of the principles and techniques of preventing, eradicating and controlling these species, documenting lessons that have been learned and recommending 'best practice'.

Aims to outline the main methods and techniques available to ornithologists. This work presents ornithological techniques which are useful for the avian community. It is intended for graduate students, researchers and practising conservationists worldwide.

A practical and integrated approach to carrying out research on the conservation status of exploited species, from data collection to long-term management. Wildlife conservation and sustainable use have recently become centrepieces in conservation and development research.

Describes the latest methodologies used to study the ecology of amphibians throughout the world. Each of the 27 chapters explains a research approach or technique, with emphasis on careful planning and the potential biases of techniques. Statistical modelling, landscape ecology, and disease are covered for the first time in a techniques handbook.

This practical manual of reptile field ecology and conservation brings together a distinguished, international group of reptile researchers to provide a state-of-the-art review of the many new and exciting techniques used to study reptiles and to track their conservation status and population trends.

This practical handbook describes the principles and techniques of managing and creating habitats worldwide including grasslands, forests, scrub, freshwater wetlands, coastal habitats, arable land, urban areas and gardens. Essential reading for conservation biologists and an invaluable resource for all those involved in conservation land management.

Forests have become the focus of intense conservation interest over the past two decades, reflecting widespread concern about high rates of deforestation and forest degradation, particularly in tropical countries. The aim of this book is to outline the main methods and techniques available to forest ecologists.

This book outlines the main methods and techniques available to entomologists. With up to a quarter of all insect species heading towards extinction over the next few decades, there is a pressing need to summarize the techniques available for measuring insect diversity in order to develop effective conservation strategies.

Remote sensing describes the technique of collecting information from a distance. This book describes the ways that remotely sensed data from research on biodiversity and its conservation can be captured and used, especially for evaluating human impacts on ecological systems.

Provides concise, yet authoritative descriptions of the most common techniques used to study wild carnivores and to conserve and manage their populations within increasingly human-dominated landscapes.

This practical volume brings together a group of distinguished primate researchers to synthesize field, laboratory, and conservation management techniques for primate ecology and conservation.

A simple reference guide to illuminate the value and utility of social science theories for the practice of environmental conservation, and to encourage environmental professionals to communicate better with social scientists.

Provides a single, comprehensive synthesis of the vast amount of techniques-related literature for freshwater ecology and conservation.
