Conservation physiology is a rapidly expanding, multidisciplinary
field that utilizes physiological knowledge and tools to understand
and solve conservation challenges. This novel text provides the
first consolidated overview of its scope, purpose, and
applications, with a focus on wildlife. It outlines the major
avenues and advances by which conservation physiology is
contributing to the monitoring, management, and restoration of wild
animal populations. This book also defines opportunities for
further growth in the field and identifies critical areas for
future investigation. By using a series of global case studies,
contributors illustrate how approaches from the conservation
physiology toolbox can tackle a diverse range of conservation
issues including the monitoring of environmental stress, predicting
the impact of climate change, understanding disease dynamics,
improving captive breeding, and reducing human-wildlife conflict.
Moreover, by acting as practical road maps across a diversity of
sub-disciplines, these case studies serve to increase the
accessibility of this discipline to new researchers. The diversity
of taxa, biological scales, and ecosystems highlighted illustrate
the far-reaching nature of the discipline and allow readers to gain
an appreciation for the purpose, value, applicability, and status
of the field of conservation physiology. Conservation Physiology is
an accessible supplementary textbook suitable for graduate
students, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of
conservation science, eco-physiology, evolutionary and comparative
physiology, natural resources management, ecosystem health,
veterinary medicine, animal physiology, and ecology.
