Book Description
A guide to all the terrestrial and aquatic mammals likely to be seen in Britain and Europe, with over 160 covered in detail. Concise descriptions summarize the key physical features, behaviour and range of each main animal, as well as distinguishing the similar species. Complete checklists of identification are provided in handy fact panels. These also give important supplementary information such as life cycle and conservation status. Illustrations show each main animal together with nests, tracks, signs and close-up details that help to differentiate similar species. The distribution of each mammal is shown in a clear map, which illustrates both the main range and any remnant populations.

Sampling Rare or Elusive Species
Author: William Thompson
Publisher: Island Press
ISBN: 1610911067
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 447
Book Description
Information regarding population status and abundance of rare species plays a key role in resource management decisions. Ideally, data should be collected using statistically sound sampling methods, but by their very nature, rare or elusive species pose a difficult sampling challenge. Sampling Rare or Elusive Species describes the latest sampling designs and survey methods for reliably estimating occupancy, abundance, and other population parameters of rare, elusive, or otherwise hard-to-detect plants and animals. It offers a mixture of theory and application, with actual examples from terrestrial, aquatic, and marine habitats around the world. Sampling Rare or Elusive Species is the first volume devoted entirely to this topic and provides natural resource professionals with a suite of innovative approaches to gathering population status and trend data. It represents an invaluable reference for natural resource professionals around the world, including fish and wildlife biologists, ecologists, biometricians, natural resource managers, and all others whose work or research involves rare or elusive species.
