Whether you are a student in a wildlife degree program or a
professional wildlife biologist, you will find all the up-to-date
information on wildlife damage in the pages of this clear,
comprehensive text. Wildlife Damage Management covers every
imaginable topic including: pertinent biological and ecological
concepts; individual-, population-, and ecosystem-level effects;
survey techniques; management methods; human dimensions; economic
issues; legal and political aspects; and damage management
strategies. Authors Russell F. Reidinger, Jr., and James E. Miller
explain the evolution of wildlife damage management, differentiate
facts from myths, and detail the principles and techniques a
professional biologist needs to know. The book discusses native as
well as exotic invasive species, zoonotic diseases, hazards to
endangered or threatened fauna and flora, and damage to crops,
livestock, and property. Reidinger and Miller argue that, in recent
years, the rate of undesirable human-wildlife interactions has
risen in many areas, owing in part to the expansion of residences
into places formerly wild or agricultural, making wildlife damage
management even more relevant. From suburban deer eating gardens
and shrubs, to mountain lions threatening pets and people, to
accidentally introduced species outcompeting native species,
Reidinger and Miller show how proper management can reduce wildlife
damage to an acceptable, cost-effective level. An extensive section
on available resources, a glossary that explains terms and
concepts, and detailed figures will aid both students and seasoned
professionals. Instructors will find this text arranged perfectly
for a semester-long course. The end-of-chapter questions will allow
students to ponder the ways wildlife damage management concepts can
be put into practice. For those already working in the
field-biologists and managers with federal, state, or international
agencies- Wildlife Damage Management will serve as an ideal
reference book. Destined to set the tone of wildlife damage
conversations for the next decade and beyond, Reidinger and Miller
belongs on the shelf of all wildlife professionals.
