Human-induced climate change is emerging as one of the gravest
threats to biodiversity in history, and while a vast amount of
literature on the ecological impact of climate change exists, very
little has been dedicated to the management of wildlife populations
and communities in the wake of unprecedented habitat changes.
"Wildlife Conservation in a Changing Climate" is an essential
resource, bringing together leaders in the fields of climate change
ecology, wildlife population dynamics, and environmental policy to
examine the impacts of climate change on populations of terrestrial
vertebrates. Chapters assess the details of climate change ecology,
including demographic implications for individual populations,
evolutionary responses, impacts on movement patterns, alterations
of species interactions, and predicting impacts across regions. The
contributors also present a number of strategies by which
conservationists and wildlife managers can counter or mitigate the
impacts of climate change as well as increase the resilience of
wildlife populations to such changes. A seminal contribution to the
fields of ecology and conservation biology, "Wildlife Conservation
in a Changing Climate" will serve as the spark that ignites a new
direction of discussions about and action on the ecology and
conservation of wildlife in a changing climate.
