Harvest of Fish and Wildlife: New Paradigms for Sustainable
Management unites experts in wildlife and fishery sciences for an
interdisciplinary overview of harvest management. This book
presents unique insights for embracing the complete
social-ecological system to ensure a sustainable future. It
educates users on evolutionary and population dynamics; social and
political influences; hunter and angler behavior; decision
processes; impacts of regulations; and stakeholder involvement.
Features: Written by twenty-four teams of leading scientists and
managers. Promotes transparent justification for fishing and
hunting regulations. Provides examples for integrating decision
making into management. Emphasizes creativity in management by
integrating art and science. This book appeals to population
biologists, evolutionary biologists and social scientists. It is a
key resource for on-the-ground managers and research scientists
developing harvesting applications. As the book's contributors
explain: "Making decisions that are robust to uncertainty...is a
paradigm shift with a lot of potential to improve outcomes for fish
and wildlife populations." -Andrew Tyre and Brigitte Tenhumberg
"Temporal shifts in system states...must somehow be anticipated and
dealt with to derive harvest policies that remain optimal in the
long term." -Michael Conroy "Proactive, effective management of
sportspersons...will be essential in the new paradigm of harvest
management." -Matthew Gruntorad and Christopher Chizinski
