Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

Analysis and Management of Animal Populations deals with the processes involved in making informed decisions about the management of animal populations. It covers the modeling of population responses to management actions, the estimation of quantities needed in the modeling effort, and the application of these estimates and models to the development of sound management decisions. The book synthesizes and integrates in a single volume the methods associated with these themes, as they apply to ecological assessment and conservation of animal populations. Key Features*Integrates population modeling, parameter estimation and decision-theoretic approaches to management in a single, cohesive framework * Provides authoritative, state-of-the-art descriptions of quantitative approaches to modeling, estimation and decision-making * Emphasizes the role of mathematical modeling in the conduct of science and management* Utilizes a unifying biological context, consistent mathematical notation, and numerous biological examples

This book provides a good summary of methods and techniques that are available for wildlife studies. It is a good starting point for graduate students and researchers who would like to get a broad overview, but for more details on particular types of analysis, other resources are needed. For someone who has never been exposed to population biology, the expansive breadth of the book may be somewhat overwhelming.

This book manages to be both extremely comprehensive in terms of topics covered and well focused in terms of the information provided on each topic. Arguably the bible for quantitative ecology. Add to this sturdy construction and a great price and you get outstanding value.

Delivery time ok, price really good in comparison to others, the book only has a litle brake in the cover but it was in excelent condition.

The product arrived quickly and on time. I would do business with this company agian without a second thought.

They didn't have the book even though it was posted. However they issued a very promt refund without any problems.
