Product Description
Analysis and Management of Animal Populations deals with the processes involved in making informed decisions about the management of animal populations. It covers the modeling of population responses to management actions, the estimation of quantities needed in the modeling effort, and the application of these estimates and models to the development of sound management decisions. The book synthesizes and integrates in a single volume the methods associated with these themes, as they apply to ecological assessment and conservation of animal populations. Key Features*Integrates population modeling, parameter estimation and decision-theoretic approaches to management in a single, cohesive framework * Provides authoritative, state-of-the-art descriptions of quantitative approaches to modeling, estimation and decision-making * Emphasizes the role of mathematical modeling in the conduct of science and management* Utilizes a unifying biological context, consistent mathematical notation, and numerous biological examples |

Good reference book 4 Stars
April 03, 2003
This book provides a good summary of methods and techniques that are available for wildlife studies. It is a good starting point for graduate students and researchers who would like to get a broad overview, but for more details on particular types of analysis, other resources are needed. For someone who has never been exposed to population biology, the expansive breadth of the book may be somewhat overwhelming.

| Handbook of Capture-Recapture Analysis
by Steven C. Amstrup (Editor), Trent L. McDonald (Editor), Bryan F. J. Manly (Editor)
Every day, biologists in parkas, raincoats, and rubber boots go into the field to capture and mark a variety of animal species. Back in the office, statisticians create analytical models for the field biologists' data. But many times, representatives of the two professions do not fully understand one another's roles. This book bridges this gap by helping biologists understand state-of-the-art statistical methods for analyzing capture-recapture data. In so doing, statisticians will also...

| Occupancy Estimation and Modeling: Inferring Patterns and Dynamics of Species Occurrence
by Darryl I. MacKenzie (Author), James D. Nichols (Author), J. Andrew Royle (Author), Kenneth H. Pollock (Author), Larissa L. Bailey (Author), James E. Hines (Author)
Occupancy Estimation and Modeling is the first book to examine the latest methods in analyzing presence/absence data surveys. Using four classes of models (single-species, single-season; single-species, multiple season; multiple-species, single-season; and multiple-species, multiple-season), the authors discuss the practical sampling situation, present a likelihood-based model enabling direct estimation of the occupancy-related parameters while allowing for imperfect detectability, and make...

| Model Selection and Multi-Model Inference
by Kenneth P. Burnham (Author), David Anderson (Author)
The second edition of this book is unique in that it focuses on methods for making formal statistical inference from all the models in an a priori set (Multi-Model Inference). A philosophy is presented for model-based data analysis and a general strategy outlined for the analysis of empirical data. The book invites increased attention on a priori science hypotheses and modeling. Kullback-Leibler Information represents a fundamental quantity in science and is Hirotugu Akaike's basis for...

| A Primer of Ecology, Fourth Edition
by Nicholas J. Gotelli (Author)
This book contains more mathematical detail than many ecology textbooks, but avoids the jargon and mathematical terminology that can intimidate students. The book demystifies ecological models and the mathematics behind them, and includes both simple and advanced problems, followed by fully worked examples. It will sell us both a primary and supplementary textbook. This book presents a concise but detailed exposition of the most common mathematical models in population and community ecology. It...
