From the rear cover
Population ecology has matured to a sophisticated science with astonishing potential for contributing solutions to wildlife conservation and management challenges. And yet, much of the applied power of wildlife population ecology remains untapped because its broad sweep across disparate subfields has been isolated in specialized texts. In this book, L. Scott Mills covers the full spectrum of applied wildlife population ecology, including genomic tools for non-invasive genetic sampling, predation, population projections, climate change and invasive species, harvest modeling, viability analysis, focal species concepts, and analyses of connectivity in fragmented landscapes. With a readable style, analytical rigor, and hundreds of examples drawn from around the world, Conservation of Wildlife Populations (2nd ed) provides the conceptual basis for applying population ecology to wildlife conservation decision-making. Although targeting primarily undergraduates and beginning graduate students with some basic training in basic ecology and statistics (in majors that could include wildlife biology, conservation biology, ecology, environmental studies, and biology), the book will also be useful for practitioners in the field who want to find - in one place and with plenty of applied examples - the latest advances in the genetic and demographic aspects of population ecology.
Reviews of the First Edition
"...a well-balanced book that combines readable introductions to theory and (often fascinating) real-world examples in approximately equal measure." Bulletin of the British Ecological Society
"... If you were to teach an introductory course on conservation biology that focused on the perspective of population biology, this is the text you would want..." Journal of Wildlife Management
"... a well-organized, well-written, and... entertaining introduction to the study of population biology..." Ecology
"Scott Mills has written a valuable advanced text for those who will be practitioners of wildlife management ...a fresh and honest approach to several topics that impact wildlife management but are often ignored." Heredity
"With this book under their belt, students will have the foundation to pursue more advanced coursework and understand why they should. In doing this, Mills has succeeded in filling an important void." Conservation Biology
