Shortlisted for the 2018 TWS Wildlife Publication Awards in the
edited book category Decomposition and recycling of vertebrate
remains have been understudied, hampered largely due to these
processes being aesthetically challenging (e.g., smell and sight).
Technological innovations have provided the means to explore new
and historically understood natural systems to give us a plethora
of new information. Carrion Ecology, Evolution, and Their
Applications covers a broad spectrum of topics including the
molecular mechanistic foundations that provide the basis for intra-
and interspecific interactions related to population biology,
community ecology, and how this manifests into habitat- and
ecosystem-level importance. The book connects the science of
carrion decomposition from genes to ecosystems in multidisciplinary
synthesis of the science. This book brings together a team of
global experts involved with measuring and understanding the
process and effects of carrion ecology in nature, with special
application in such applied fields as forensic entomology, habitat
management, animal production (e.g., livestock and aquaculture),
and human and environmental health. It fills a large literature gap
in ecology, providing a synthesis and future directions important
for studies of carrion decomposition that improve the general
understanding of decomposition in ecosystems. The book fuses
multiple disciplines into a single message explaining the
importance of vertebrate carrion ecology in nature. Illustrates
Carrion Decomposition in a 16-Page Color Insert with 40 Photos The
authors illustrate how the study of carrion transcends the globe
and expands systems of inquiry, broadening awareness of this
important ecosystem process. Whether you are a student, academic,
or professional, you will find this book insightful for the fields
of molecular ecology, microbiology, entomology, forensics,
population biology, community and ecosystem ecology, and human and
environmental health.
