In this guide to wildlife management, the authors examine how managing wildlife populations enmeshes with ecology as a whole. Intended as a textbook for an undergraduate or graduate level class, this book looks at how quantitative analysis techniques are used in the wildlife management decision-making process. The authors argue that quantitative analysis can and should be used to maintain a sustainable and dynamic ecosystem. The authors define value versus technical judgments, the possible goals of wildlife management, identifying the problems in an ecosystem, and how to gauge the success of management policies and procedures. This, the third edition, contains new chapters covering habitat use and fragmentation, wildlife movement and corridors, evolutionary responses to disturbance, population viability analysis, and climate change.
