Full Description
Population dynamics and animal behaviour are two subjects which have developed almost independently, despite widespread acceptance of their interrelationship. This study aims to provide a framework for combining the two fields. It then explains how to consider a range of conservation issues. The work is aimed at students and researchers in animal behaviour, population ecology and conservation biology.
