Biodiversity Loss in the 21st Century

No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781632390943

This book provides an overview of current knowledge and discusses some of the unanswered questions at the forefront of research in biodiversity. Every ecosystem is an intricate organization of cautiously mixed life forms; a dynamic and primarily sensible system. Hence, their progressive decline may speed up climate change and vice versa, influencing flora and fauna composition and distribution, resulting in the loss of biodiversity. The effects of climate change are the primary issues covered in this book. It presents varied case studies focused on biodiversity evaluations and necessities in several ecosystems, analyzing the current life situation of many life forms and covering various biogeographic zones of the world.

Tree Kangaroos: Science and Conservation
<p><i>Tree Kangaroos: Science and Conservation</i>, a volume in the <i>Biodiversity of the World: Conservation from Genes to Landscapes </i>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&#x3b; (2) current and emerging threats to the species&#x3b; (3) conservation programs in Australia and New Guinea with an emphasis on the human aspect of conservation&#x3b; (4) the role of zoos in conservation solutions&#x3b; (5) techniques and technologies to study this elusive marsupial&#x3b; and (6) what is needed to keep tree kangaroos and their landscapes healthy in the future. </p> <p>The series on <i>Biodiversity of the World: Conservation from Genes to Landscapes</i> 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.</p>
