Synopsis
Today's conservation literature emphasizes landscape ecology and population genetics without addressing the behavioral links that enable the long-term survival of populations. This book presents theoretical and practical arguments for considering behavior patterns in attempts to conserve biodiversity. It brings together prominent scientists and wildlife managers to address a number of issues, including the limits and potentials of behavioral research to conservation, the importance of behavioral variation as a component of biodiversity, and the use of animal behavior to solve conservation problems. Throughout, the text provides specific direction for research and management practices. The book is unique in its emphasis on conservation of wild populations as opposed to captive and reintroduced populations, where behavioral research has concentrated in the past.

Book Description
The study of animal behavior is being seen as an underexploited resource for conserving natural populations. In this volume, prominent scientists and wildlife managers are brought together to discuss the potential and limits of behavioral research to conservation. The emphasis is on wild rather than captive populations, where most work has been done until now. This interface between behavior and conservation is assessed from a wide range of perspectives.A major work which will be of importance to researchers and students of conservation and animal behavior.

The book is unique in emphasizing conservation of wild populations as opposed to captive and reintroduced populations, where behavioral research has concentrated in the past. The variety of expertise in this volume demonstrates that the complete ethological framework, not just behavioral ecology, provides valuable techniques and knowledge for conserving biodiversity.
