Despite major advances in sampling techniques and analytical methods, many animal ecologists conduct research that is primarily relevant to a specific time and place. They also tend to focus more on the statistical analyses and nuances of modeling than actual study design. Arguing that studies of animal ecology should always begin with a focus on the behaviors and characteristics of individual organisms, including how they form into distinct biological populations, Applications for Advancing Animal Ecology takes a fresh and critical look at the field. Building from its companion volume, Foundations for Advancing Animal Ecology, this practical book presents readers with the principal methods used to observe animal behavior. Throughout the book, the authors stress the importance of speaking a common and well-defined language. Avoiding vague and misleading terminology, they assert, will help ecologists translate science into meaningful and lasting actions in the environment. Taking the perspective of the organism of interest in developing concepts and applications, the authors always keep the potentially biased human perspective in focus. They also provide a selection of suggested research projects, cautions, and caveats. A major advancement in understanding the factors underlying wildlife-habitat relationships, Applications for Advancing Animal Ecology will be an invaluable resource to natural resource management professionals and practitioners, including state and federal agencies, non-governmental organizations, and environmental consultants.

Dotée d'écosystèmes extraordinaires, d'eau en abondance et d'une étonnante variété de climats, notre planète fourmille d'animaux, grands et petits. D'où provient cette riche diversité ? Comment tant d'espèces ont-elles réussi à se former, à évoluer et à s'adapter ? Quelles incidences les humains ont-ils sur le règne animal et sur l'environnement naturel que nous partageons avec lui ? Cet ouvrage richement illustré présente le processus de diversification de l'évolution animale, ainsi que les principaux groupes d'invertébrés et de vertébrés. Il explore ensuite la respiration, la vision, les modes de communication et certaines autres caractéristiques physiologiques et comportementales des animaux. Puis il examine les relations écologiques qui régissent les innombrables espèces de la Terre, avant de faire le point sur les effets de la pollution, de la surexploitation et du changement climatique. En 300 mots et une image, chacun des 50 chapitres de cet ouvrage développe un aspect de la vie animale. Ce livre est destiné à tous ceux qui se soucient d'assurer un avenir sain et durable aux espèces animales et à leur habitat naturel. La biodiversité est indispensable à notre survie et à celle de la planète.

"Animal population ecology comprises the study of variations, regulation, and interactions of animal populations. This book discusses the fundamental notions and findings of animal populations on which most of the ecological studies are based. In particular, the author selects the logistic law of population growth, the nature of competition, sociality as an antithesis of competition, the mechanism underlying the regulation of populations, predator-prey interaction processes, and interactions among closely related species competing over essential resources. These are the notions that are considered to be well-established facts or principles and are regularly taught at ecology classes or introduced in standard textbooks. However, the author demonstrates that these notions are still inadequately understood, or even misunderstood, creating myths that would misguide ecologists in carrying out their studies. He delves deeply into those notions to reveal their real nature and draws a road map to the future development of ecology"--

Les progrès relatifs à la pénétration dans le monde subaquatique, à l'observation in situ des peuplements de poissons et au développement de technologies de pointe offrent un éclairage moderne sur les stratégies et les comportements des poissons dont les aptitudes cognitives ont été longtemps sous-estimées. Les comportements des poissons 1 présente l'état actuel des connaissances relatives à la biologie, à l'écologie et à l'éthologie des poissons. À la lumière des travaux scientifiques les plus récents, il examine les habitats exploités par les poissons ainsi que les stratégies et tactiques adoptées par ces deniers en matière d'occupation des territoires disponibles. Il traite également des questions de communication entre les individus au cours de leurs interactions sociales. Les comportements des poissons 2 présente l'état actuel des connaissances relatives à la biologie, à l'écologie et à l'éthologie des poissons. À la lumière des travaux scientifiques les plus récents, il examine les comportements des poissons liés à leur reproduction, ainsi qu'à l'expression de leur personnalité. Il traite également des questions relatives au conditionnement neurophysiologique des comportements en rapport avec la complexité structurale et fonctionnelle de leur cerveau. Cet ouvrage est destiné aux chercheurs, enseignants, étudiants de masters et doctorants en biologie et biogéographie, aux halieutes, aux ingénieurs et techniciens responsables de l'aménagement et de la protection des milieux naturels et des aquariums publics, ainsi qu'aux aquaculteurs, pêcheurs et écologistes.

Animal Physiology : an environmental perspective provides a broad review of animal physiology, demonstrating how an understanding of the physiology of animals in their natural habitats helps us to understand how and why animals evolved the way they did, as well as how we can protect them from the extreme effects of changes to their environments. (-) The only text to take an evolutionary approach to show how physiological systems allow animals to adapt to their changing environments (-) The main narrative focuses on key concepts, and panels expand on particular topics or themes, helping students to grasp difficult concepts in a progressive, layered way (-) An accessible introduction to the physical and chemical properties of the environments in which animals live helps students to avoid a superficial or confused understanding of this often challenging aspect of the subject (-) Carefully chosen examples illustrate how different groups of animals have evolved different solutions to deal with environmental challenges (-) The exploration of real world issues such as climate change and pollution from the point of view of their physiological effects on animals shows how our understanding of such topics can be translated into new approaches to conservation (-) Also available as an e-book with functionality, navigation features, and links that offer extra learning support.
