"Temporal Dimensions of Landscape Ecology: Wildlife Responses to Variable Resources" explores how changes in resource availability over time impact animal populations. It highlights the importance of considering both current and historical temporal influences on resources, making it essential for wildlife and conservation students and practitioners.
While the research and management of wildlife has traditionally emphasised studies at smaller scales, it is now acknowledged that larger, landscape-level patterns strongly influence demographic processes in wild animal species. This book is the first to provide the conceptual basis for learning how larger scale patterns and processes can influence the biology and management of wildlife species. It is divided into three sections: Underlying Concepts, Landscape Metrics and Applications and Large Scale Management.
