Wildlife 2001: Populations

Beschreibung

In 1984, a conference called Wildlife 2000: Modeling habitat relationships of terrestrial vertebrates, was held at Stanford Sierra Camp at Fallen Leaf Lake in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. The conference was well-received, and the published volume (Verner, J. , M. L. Morrison, and C. J. Ralph, editors. 1986. Wildlife 2000: modeling habitat relationships of terrestrial vertebrates, University of Wisconsin Press, Madison, Wisconsin, USA) proved to be a landmark publication that received a book award by The Wildlife Society. Wildlife 2001: populations was a followup conference with emphasis on the other major biological field of wildlife conservation and management, populations. It was held on July 29-31, 1991, at the Oakland Airport Hilton Hotel in Oakland, California, in accordance with our intent that this conference have a much stronger international representation than did Wildlife 2000. The goal of the conference was to bring together an international group of specialists to address the state of the art in wildlife population dynamics, and set the agenda for future research and management on the threshold of the 21st century. The mix of specialists included workers in theoretical, as well as practical, aspects of wildlife conservation and management. Three general sessions covered methods, modelling, and conservation of threatened species.

The editors succeeded in avhieving a functional organization to an otherwise unwieldy collection of papers. The uniformity of format and typesetting of the papers gives this book a very clean and professional look. In addition, the depth of topics insure that both seminal and more recent references can be found...There are few other books I would consider more thoughtfully - Ecology; It has been said many times that conservation biologists should pay more attention to the resource management crowd and their literature, and I can think of no better introduction thatn a perusal of this volume - Conservation Biology
