Ecological science, the Biosphere; Botany & plant sciences; Zoology & animal sciences; Applied ecology; Conservation of wildlife & habitats

The identification and analysis of the particular habitat needs of a species has always been a central focus of research and applied conservation in both ecology and wildlife biology. Although these two academic communities have developed quite separately over many years, there is now real value in attempting to unify them to allow better communication and awareness by practitioners and students from each discipline. Despite the recent dramatic increase in the types of quantitative methods for conducting habitat analyses, there is no single reference that simultaneously explains and compares all these new techniques. This accessible textbook provides the first concise, authoritative resource that clearly presents these emerging methods together and demonstrates how they can be applied to data using statistical methodology, whilst putting the decades-old pursuit of analyzing habitat into historical context. Habitat Ecology and Analysis is written for senior undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in wildlife ecology, conservation biology, and habitat ecology as well as professional ecologists, wildlife biologists, conservation biologists, and land managers requiring an accessible overview of the latest methodology.

Joseph A. Veech is Associate Professor at the Department of Biology, Texas State University, USA. He has broad research interests in the ecological and evolutionary factors that affect the distribution and abundance of species and biodiversity. A particular focus of his research concerns the over-riding importance of habitat. He is also interested in developing novel methods for the statistical analysis of ecological data, teaching those methods, and instilling quantitative proficiency in students.

Reviews for Habitat Ecology and Analysis

In summary, this book provides a rather complete overview of the importance of habitat in ecological studies, whether the interests of readers are fundamental or applied to conservation and management issues. This volume is particularly tailored to students and early-career investigators who are thinking about how to best analyze habitat availability, use, preference, and selection for any organismof interest, without diving too deeply into any specific approach and unnecessarily complicating the subject matter. * Lise M. Aubry, Quarterly Review of Biology * Excellent discussion material for research groups that specialize in space-use ecology and would like to explore a non-traditional perspective. * Ronan Hart, Brian J. Smith, Veronica Winter and Tal Avgar, Journal of Wildlife Management *
