Conservation of Wildlife Populations: Demography, Genetics, and Management

Scott Mills has written a valuable advanced text for those who will be practitioners of wildlife management. By the author's admission, this text is written for an advanced course that assumes students have had at least an introductory ecology and genetics course and ideally a statistics or calculus course.

Of course, implementation of the applied aspects will be difficult without the math background.

The text is divided into 3 sections.

The effect of human population growth on wildlife is tackled head-on. . . . [Full Text of this Article]
