<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>
