Snow Leopards, Second Edition provides a foundational,
comprehensive overview of the biology, ecology and conservation of
this iconic species. This updated edition incorporates all the
recent information from range-wide surveys and conservation
projects, the results of technical and advances particularly in
genetics, camera trapping and satellite tracking, and evaluates
emerging threats. New chapters synthesize the novel scientific
methods and statistical analyses used to develop density and
population estimates and how they inform conservation and
management estimates. Sections cover historical information, the
main biogeographic patterns, evolutionary trends, conservational
efforts, and cultural significance. Status and distribution are
fully updated for all 12 countries where snow leopards occur. Other
sections describe established and emerging threats, including
human-wildlife conflict, illegal trade, infrastructure development,
and climate change along with conservation solutions used to
address these threats. The book concludes with a final section on
global snow leopard initiatives and future potentials.
Tree Kangaroos: Science and Conservation, a volume in the
Biodiversity of the World: Conservation from Genes to Landscapes
series, provides an overview of tree kangaroo species and their
relationship with humans. This exciting, interdisciplinary work on
tree kangaroo science and conservation is divided into six major
sections: (1) tree kangaroo evolution, genetics, taxonomy, ecology,
behavior, and conservation status; (2) current and emerging threats
to the species; (3) conservation programs in Australia and New
Guinea with an emphasis on the human aspect of conservation; (4)
the role of zoos in conservation solutions; (5) techniques and
technologies to study this elusive marsupial; and (6) what is
needed to keep tree kangaroos and their landscapes healthy in the
future. The series on Biodiversity of the World: Conservation from
Genes to Landscapes includes titles focused on specific species or
taxa across disciplinary boundaries and spatial scales-from genes
to landscapes. Volumes are edited and written by prominent scholars
and practitioners to illuminate and advance biodiversity science
and conservation.
