The book presents a set of 32 exercises that are primarily new and greatly revised versions from the book's successful first edition. These exercises span a wide range of conservation issues: genetic analysis, population biology and management, taxonomy, ecosystem management, land use planning, the public policy process and more. All exercises discuss how to take what has been learned and apply it to practical, real-world is 606 $aConservation biology 606 $aWildlife management 606 $aConservation biology$vProblems, exercises, etc 606 $aWildlife management$vProblems, exercises, etc 615 0$aConservation biology. 615 0$aWildlife management. 615 0$aConservation biology 615 0$aWildlife management 676 $a577 700 $aGibbs$b James P$0471888 701 $aHunter$b Malcolm L$0312626 701 $aSterling$b Eleanor J$0791749 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910876846303321 996 $aProblem-solving in conservation biology and wildlife management$91770195 997 $aUNINA
