"Conservation of Exploited Species is sure to become a landmark in the sometimes-quixotic search for sustainable ways of exploiting nature." Biodiversity
"Well written" Natural Areas Journal
"Conservation of Exploited Species is sure to become a landmark in the sometimes-quixotic search for sustainable ways of exploiting nature." Biodiversity
"this book [is] a very useful resource on the topic of sustainable use and the problems of determining a maximum sustainable yield for exploited species.Introductory and concluding essays by the editors provide some synthesis to the divergent viewpoints presented in the articles," Choice
"this is an important book and can be considered required reading for conservation biologists and highly recommended for applied ecologists and biological managers. It also covers enough socio-political and economic issues that many otherswill find it informative. This book is a valuable edition to conservation policy studies" Ecology
"Appropriate for advanced undergraduates. An essential reference for researchers involved in conservation biology." Northeastern Naturalist
"Even though this book is meant for biology students, it has much to interest anyone working in wildlife conservation." The Canadian Field-Naturalist much to interest
"Very informative." Canadian Society of Environmental Biologists
Product Description
This book brings together international experts to examine interactions between the biology of wildlife and the divergent goals of people involved in hunting, fishing, gathering, and culling wildlife. Reviews of theory show how sustainable exploitation is tied to the study of population dynamics, with direct links to reproductive rates, life histories, behavior, and ecology. As such theory is rarely put into practice to achieve sustainable use and effective conservation, Conservation of Exploited Species explores the many reasons for this failure and considers remedies to tackle them.
