A major new work on conservation ecology, in which the authors argue that to advance the internal agenda of the science, theories, models, and field studies of populations and ecosystems will need to be better integrated. The book attempts to bring these two aspects of ecology closer together in conservation, using a new paradigm in ecology. The book explores a broad range of targets for conservation, illustrating the value of the new syntheses. The contributors evaluate the role of theory, and of both familiar and novel types of models, to indicate how such tools can be employed over the range of scales and processes that conservation must now address. The book contains diverse practical examples and case studies of how the new thinking in ecology, and the new partnerships required for more successful conservation, actually work and can be immproved. The examples range from freshwater to arid, and from subtropical to boreal.
