Otters: Ecology and Conservation
Author: C. F. Mason
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521101349
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
This book focuses on the European otter, describing its life history, including fresh information and providing details of survey methods and the state of populations throughout the range. Otters have decreased substantially in numbers and range during the present century through a combination of pollution, habitat destruction and direct persecution. The otter, at the top of the food chain, is a vulnerable animal in a vulnerable environment - the river - and can be seen as an indicator of a healthy environment; a good otter population indicates a properly functioning river ecosystem. The research of the authors highlights the fact that successful conservation of this familiar though elusive animal depends upon public education and sympathy as much as upon detailed ecological knowledge. This account will appeal to amateur naturalists, teachers of natural history and biological sciences and students of animal ecology and conservation. It also provides an important reference for professional conservationists and wildlife biologists.

ISBN: 3638521230
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 12
Book Description
Essay from the year 2004 in the subject Environmental Sciences, University of Phoenix, language: English, abstract: The American Mink, Mustela vison, that inhabit Virginia also inhabit much of Canada, Alaska and the lower 48 states (excluding parts of the southwest). This carnivorous mammal is a small, quick and agile member of the weasel family, Mustelidae. The mink has been highly prized for centuries, in Virginia as well as other parts of the world, for it valuable pelt. (“Mink – Encyclopedia Americana”, 2004) This paper will discuss the life history of the species, the distribution of the mink within the state of Virginia, the ecological relationships it has, and the conservation efforts, if any are being taken, as mink populations had been reported as declining in the state of Virginia in the mid-1980s. (Ogle, Scanlon, Kirkpatrick, & Gwynn, 1985, p. 29)

Carnivore Conservation
Author: John L. Gittleman
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521665377
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 696
Book Description
Carnivores are the focus of intense attention and resources in conservation biology. It is often argued that, because carnivores are at the top of the food chain, if they are protected, then other taxa will also be afforded adequate protection. Carnivores are also charismatic and compete with humans for dwindling space and environmental resources. In the past 10 years, theoretical and empirical studies on carnivores have developed very quickly. This volume reviews and summarises the current state of the field, describes limitations and opportunities for carnivore conservation, and offers a conceptual framework for future research and applied management. As such it will be of interest to students and researchers of conservation biology, mammalogy, animal behaviour, ecology and evolution.
