Conservation
The importance of conservation is growing each year, with increasing concerns over the destruction of biodiversity and the rising awareness of ecosystem services generating new debates on the human-nature relationship.This compact overview integrates the process, theory and practice of conservation for a broad readership, from non-specialists to students and practitioners.Taking a global perspective, it uses examples from around the world to illustrate general themes and show how problems arise from the impact of societal trends on ecological communities.A significant practical component will be particularly valuable for environmental professionals, outlining the requirements for rigorous surveys, biodiversity valuation, the assessment of impact and its mitigation.Thoroughly revised and updated, this second edition reflects trends towards embracing multiple disciplines, considering the links between ecology and the social sciences and bringing conservation to the heart of sustainability and environmental policy.

Conservation of Dragonflies : Sentinels for Freshwater Conservation
Dragonflies are among the most familiar and popular of all insects, deeply embedded in human cultural history.They are iconic and tell us much about the environments in which we and they live.Their conservation is an important part of biodiversity conservation.One modern dragonfly species is listed as extinct, with many others currently threatened.It is now essential to increase conservation efforts towards saving these threatened species, with strategies now available for doing this.Recovery of dragonfly populations goes hand in hand with improvements to both freshwater conditions and bank vegetation quality.In contrast, some other dragonfly species have benefitted greatly from human transformation of the landscape, with artificial ponds in particular, increasing the population levels of many species.In turn, climate change is seeing many geographical range shifts.Dragonflies are variously sensitive to the health of freshwater systems, and the quality of vegetation along rivers and around ponds.Dragonflies are excellent indicators in these times of great concern over the quality of our freshwater supplies.Their wide range of sensitivities enables us to measure the extent to which freshwater ecosystems are either deteriorating or are improving when we undertake restoration.They enable us to gauge how well we are conserving freshwaters, whether ponds and lakes, streams or rivers.They are also good umbrellas for many other freshwater inhabitants, which altogether reflect the health of a freshwater system.Conservation of Dragonflies: Sentinels for Freshwater Conservation is for naturalists, citizen scientists, entomologists and conservation scientists, as well as practitioners and policy makers around the world.

Conservation Technology
The global loss of biodiversity is occurring at an unprecedented pace.Despite the considerable effort devoted to conservation science and management, we still lack even the most basic data on the distribution and density of the majority of plant and animal species, which in turn hampers our efforts to study changes over time.In addition, we often lack behavioural data from the very animals most influenced by environmental changes; this is largely due to the financial and logistical limitations associated with gathering scientific data on species that are cryptic, widely distributed, range over large areas, or negatively influenced by human presence.To overcome these limitations, conservationists are increasingly employing technology to facilitate such data collection.Innovative solutions have been driven by dramatic advances in the conservation-technology interface.The use of camera traps, acoustic sensors, satellite data, drones, and computer algorithms to analyse the large datasets collected are all becoming increasingly widespread.Although specialist books are available on some of these individual technologies, this is the first comprehensive text to describe the breadth of available technology for conservation and to evaluate its varied applications, bringing together a team of international experts using a diverse range of approaches.Conservation Technology is suitable for graduate level students, professional researchers, practitioners and field managers in the fields of ecology and conservation biology.

Conservation Physiology : Applications for Wildlife Conservation and Management
Conservation physiology is a rapidly expanding, multidisciplinary field that utilizes physiological knowledge and tools to understand and solve conservation challenges.This novel text provides the first consolidated overview of its scope, purpose, and applications, with a focus on wildlife.It outlines the major avenues and advances by which conservation physiology is contributing to the monitoring, management, and restoration of wild animal populations.This book also defines opportunities for further growth in the field and identifies critical areas for future investigation.By using a series of global case studies, contributors illustrate how approaches from the conservation physiology toolbox can tackle a diverse range of conservation issues including the monitoring of environmental stress, predicting the impact of climate change, understanding disease dynamics, improving captive breeding, and reducing human-wildlife conflict.Moreover, by acting as practical road maps across a diversity of sub-disciplines, these case studies serve to increase the accessibility of this discipline to new researchers.The diversity of taxa, biological scales, and ecosystems highlighted illustrate the far-reaching nature of the discipline and allow readers to gain an appreciation for the purpose, value, applicability, and status of the field of conservation physiology. Conservation Physiology is an accessible supplementary textbook suitable for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of conservation science, eco-physiology, evolutionary and comparative physiology, natural resources management, ecosystem health, veterinary medicine, animal physiology, and ecology.
