Numerous books have been written about them and continue to appear, mostly with a bias towards these uses in Europe and North America. This second edition, revised and updated, of A Handbook of the World's Conifers is departing from this traditional approach in that it includes all the world's 615 species of conifers, of which some 200 occur in the tropics. It gives as much information about these and the Southern Hemisphere conifers as about the better known species, drawing on research into the taxonomy, biology, ecology, distribution and uses by the author over nearly 35 years. The result is a truly encyclopedic work, a true handbook of all the world's conifers, richly illustrated by the author with his line drawings and photographs taken from the natural habitats of the species. 330 $aA 2017 Choice Magazine \'Outstanding Academic Title\' Conifers are known to everyone as a conspicuous kind of evergreen trees or shrubs that feature prominently in gardens and parks as well as in many managed forests in the cool to cold temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere.

It details their response to land-use change and management practices, intensified urbanization and roost disturbance and loss. Increasing interactions between humans and bats as a result of hunting, disease relationships, occupation of human dwellings, and conflict over fruit crops are explored in depth. Finally, contributors highlight the roles that taxonomy, conservation networks and conservation psychology have to play in conserving this imperilled but vital taxon. With over 1300 species, bats are the second largest order of mammals, yet as the Anthropocene dawns, bat populations around the world are in decline. Greater understanding of the anthropogenic drivers of this decline and exploration of possible mitigation measures are urgently needed if we are to retain global bat diversity in the coming decades. This book brings together teams of international experts to provide a global review of currentunderstanding and recommend directions for future research and mitigation. . 606 $aConservation biology 606 $aEcology 606 $aVertebrates 606 $aAnimal migration 606 $aClimatology 606 $aConservation Biology 606 $aVertebrate Zoology 606 $aAnimal Migration 606 $aClimate Sciences 615 0$aConservation biology. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aVertebrates. 615 0$aAnimal migration. 615 0$aClimatology. 615 14$aConservation Biology. 615 24$aVertebrate Zoology. 615 24$aAnimal Migration. 615 24$aClimate Sciences. 676 $a639.9794 686 $aNAT011000$aSCI020000$aSCI070030$aSCI092000$2bisacsh 700 $aVoigt$b Christian C$4edt$01338926 702 $aVoigt$b Christian C.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKingston$b Tigga$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910134780403321 996 $aBats in the Anthropocene: Conservation of Bats in a Changing World$93360012 997 $aUNINA
