| Sommario/riassunto: | This book is primarily intended as a resource for students, academics and instructors studying, teaching, and working in zoology, ecology, biology, wildlife conservation and management, ecophysiology, behavioural ecology, population biology and ecology, and environmental biology or environmental science. It serves as a means of learning ecological principles by 'doing' ecology, by analysing data, drawing graphs, undertaking practical exercises that simulate field work and more. It helps students, instructors and those new to the field to learn about the principles of ecology and conservation by completing a series of problems. Prior knowledge of the subject is not assumed, the work requires users to be able to perform simple, largely arithmetic, calculations and draw graphs, Most of the exercises in the book have been used widely by the author's own students over a number of years, and many are based on real data from published research.-- |
