商品描述

This book aims to propose a protocol for wildlife monitoring, in special in human-altered environments like agricultural and silvicultural landscapes. Its target audience includes wildlife biologists both in governmental sectors and NGO's, as well as scientists, university faculty, and graduate/undergraduate students at the wildlife management and correlated fields, such as biological conservation, sustainable use, human-wildlife coexistence, and wildlife surveys/monitoring. The main topics presented and discussed in detail are connected to conceptual, technological, and societal innovations, including a proposed protocol of long-term crossing spatial scale to standardize wildlife monitoring at agricultural/silvicultural landscapes. Their relevance is based on the importance of human altered environments on biodiversity conservation, as conservation units in real world (e.g., national parks and biological reserves) are insufficient to provide conservation for the integral biota. Notwithstanding, despite their plethora of environmental impacts, agricultural and silvicultural landscapes still contain a relevant part of the wildlife. Their qualified and quantified monitoring is necessary to the establishment of their conservation value, as well as their economic value in both local and international markets. This is main problem this book is destined to solve.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書旨在提出一種野生動物監測的協議,特別是在農業和林業等人為改變的環境中。其目標讀者包括政府部門和非政府組織(NGO)的野生動物生物學家,以及科學家、大學教職員和野生動物管理及相關領域的研究生/本科生,如生物保育、可持續利用、人類與野生動物共存以及野生動物調查/監測等。本書詳細介紹和討論的主要主題與概念、技術和社會創新有關,包括一個提議的長期跨空間尺度的協議,以標準化農業/林業景觀中的野生動物監測。其相關性基於人為改變的環境對生物多樣性保護的重要性,因為現實世界中的保護單位(例如國家公園和生物保護區)不足以為整體生物群提供保護。儘管農業和林業景觀對環境有眾多影響,但它們仍然包含了相當一部分的野生動物。對這些野生動物的合格和量化監測對於確立其保護價值以及在本地和國際市場上的經濟價值是必要的。這是本書旨在解決的主要問題。

Luciano M. Verdade is the Director of the Wildlife Management Consultancy (WMC). He holds a BSB in Agronomy and a MSc in Animal Sciences by the University of São Paulo in Brazil and a PhD in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation by the University of Florida in USA. He used to be an Associate Professor at the University of São Paulo where he used to teach Population Ecology and Applied Evolutionary Ecology, and coordinated the group of founders of the undergraduate program in Biology and the graduate program in Applied Ecology. Luciano published more than 120 scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals and nine technical books (three of them by Springer, including this one). Luciano worked in many international initiatives regarding research and education in wildlife management in anthropic environments, bioeconomy, and climate change. Besides his scientific carrier Luciano is also a poet, with seven books of poetry published in Brazil and Portugal.

Prof. Rafael de Andrade Moral is a Professor of Statistics at Maynooth University, Ireland. He holds a BSc in Biology and an MSc and PhD in Statistics from the University of São Paulo, Brazil. Rafael has a deep passion for teaching and carrying out research in statistical modelling applied to Ecology, Wildlife Management, Agriculture, and Environmental Science. He is the founder and director of the Theoretical and Statistical Ecology Group, which brings together a community of researchers who use mathematical and statistical tools to better understand the natural world. As an alternative teaching strategy, Rafael has been producing music videos and parodies to promote Statistics in social media and in the classroom.
