What to Expect and How to Plan for Wildlife Conservation in the Face of Climate Change -- IndexHuman-induced climate change is emerging as one of the gravest threats to biodiversity in history, and while a vast amount of literature on the ecological impact of climate change exists, very little has been dedicated to the management of wildlife populations and communities in the wake of unprecedented habitat changes. Wildlife Conservation in a Changing Climate is an essential resource, bringing together leaders in the fields of climate change ecology, wildlife population dynamics, and environmental policy to examine the impacts of climate change on populations of terrestrial vertebrates. Chapters assess the details of climate change ecology, including demographic implications for individual populations, evolutionary responses, impacts on movement patterns, alterations of species interactions, and predicting impacts across regions. The contributors also present a number of strategies by which conservationists and wildlife managers can counter or mitigate the impacts of climate change as well as increase the resilience of wildlife populations to such changes. A seminal contribution to the fields of ecology and conservation biology, Wildlife Conservation in a Changing Climate will serve as the spark that ignites a new direction of discussions about and action on the ecology and conservation of wildlife in a changing climate.BioclimatologyClimatic changesEnvironmental aspectsWildlife conservationWildlife managementconservation, animals, plant life, wildlife preservation, biology, ecology, climatology, zoology, environmentalism, natural science, human-induced climate change, biodiversity, ecological impact, habitat changes, population dynamics, environmental policy, social issues, current affairs, movement patterns, evolutionary responses, species interactions, conservationists, managers, bioclimatology, phenotypic plasticity, animal vulnerability, extreme weather events.Bioclimatology.Climatic changesEnvironmental aspects.Wildlife conservation.Wildlife management.333.95/4RB 10438BVBrvkBrodie Jedediah F(Jedediah Farrell)1576643Doak Daniel F.1961-305891Post Eric S(Eric Stephen)1490126MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785925503321Wildlife conservation in a changing climate3854530UNINA
