This book provides a novel framework for combining these two subjects and considers a range of conservation issues. The author suggests how to extrapolate from behavioral interactions to population-level phenomena; each chapter presents a combination of theory and empirical examples, including modelling techniques. Students and researchers in animal behavior, population ecology, and conservation biology will welcome this new approach. |
