For an undergraduate wildlife management course at both the introductory and advanced level; assumes some background knowledge in ecology.Dedicated solely to the managerial (vs. ecological), aspects of wildlife management this detailed text covers all the basic components of wildlife management-from its history and evolution to conservation ideas, population dynamics, decimating and welfare factors, population models, and an array of important issues at play in the field today. Establishing the framework for effective management, the book is highly adaptable, lending itself easily to all introductory, mid- or advanced-level classes in wildlife management where instructors can customize and/or build upon topics to suit their particular course needs. Clear and straightforward, it is flexible enough to be used alone, as a "foundation" text supplemented by outside sources, for a refresher course, or simply as a reference text for basic principles.
