Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This edited book covers conservation planning and population viability analyses in a clear and comprehensive fashion. The inclusion of chapters on plants, invertebrates, fishes, birds and mammals makes it particularly attractive for teaching students with broad taxonomic interests in conservation biology. Each chapter uses models from the software program RAMAS GIS which accompanies the book on CD. I use the RAMAS GIS software in my graduate course in landscape ecology and the material in this book provided a great diversity of data sets and case histories. The program has excellent graphics and is well documented enabling the reader to understand what models are being used and the assumptions of those models. I strongly recommend the book for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in population and conservation biology.
