In Conservation by Proxy, conservation biologist and field researcher Tim Caro offers systematic definitions of surrogate species concepts, explores the theories behind them, considers how surrogate species are chosen, examines evidence for and against their utility, and makes recommendations for their continued use. 606 $aConservation of natural resources 606 $aElectronic books. -- local 606 $aEnvironmental protection 606 $aGlobalization 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aConservation of natural resources. 615 4$aElectronic books. -- local. 615 4$aEnvironmental protection. 615 4$aGlobalization. 676 $a333.95/16 700 $aCaro$b T.
