Reproductive Science and Integrated Conservation
Reproductive Science and Integrated Conservation by William V. Holt, published by Cambridge University Press on December 5, 2002, is an illustrated edition comprising 426 pages. This book explores the complexities of reproductive mechanisms across various vertebrate species, focusing on the gaps in knowledge that often hinder effective wildlife conservation efforts for endangered species.
Readers will find a comprehensive examination of reproductive diversity in fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. The text delves into the numerous factors influencing reproduction, such as genetics, behavior, and nutrition, while also assessing the implications of recent advancements in reproductive technology and medicine for conservation practices. This edition serves as a valuable resource for those interested in the intersections of ecology, environmental conservation, and life sciences.
Official synopsis Publisher
Reproductive mechanisms are well understood in only a handful of vertebrate species, mostly domestic livestock and laboratory animals. This means that attempts to develop and implement management policies for wildlife conservation of endangered species are often based on poor data or no data at all. In Reproductive Sciences and Integrated Conservation, leading authorities examine reproductive diversity in fishes, amphibia, reptiles, birds and mammals. They review the many factors that influence reproduction–including genetics, behavior and nutrition–and assess the potential conservation relevance of the recent rapid advances in reproductive technology and medicine.
