Zustand: Fine. x, 391, text figs. . HB. Fine copy. From the library of Prof. J. Green (1928-2016) with his signature to endpaper. Symposia of the Zoological Society of London 71. Many mammals such as otters, mink and water shrews live in close association with rivers and streams, feeding in them or using them as a place of safety or means of escape from predators. The distinct adaptations that riparian mammals have evolved in order to live in these environments also handicap them for living elsewhere. They are therefore threatened by alterations to their environment. In recent years our rivers have become highly polluted, and with bankside modifications for agriculture and forestry, enhanced or decreased water flow, and use for recreation, they become less and less suitable for these highly specialized animals. This book looks at the habitat utilization, adaptation, feeding ecology and conservation status of a range of riparian mammals, and will give insights into the problems facing these fascinating animals, and how they might be overcome.

"The main focus of this book is on the better known American mink, in both its native land and in Britain and the rest of Europe, where escapees from fur farms have become established. The similar but smaller European mink has been less widely studied but is useful for comparative purposes. Nigel Dunstone has studied all aspects of mink biology for over 20 years and provides the first comprehensive and readable account of the species. He describes how mink have evolved to exploit a wide variety of habitats, river, lake, marsh and coast, before going on to describe in detail the various aspects of their ecology and behaviour. In the concluding chapters, Dunstone takes an in-depth look at the two subjects most popularly associated with mink, the fur trade and the effect of feral mink on other wildlife. Mink and people have a complex association in both respects. Is fur a luxury or a respectable animal product? Will feral American mink have a substantial impact on British wildlife? The detailed discussion of these issues will contribute significantly to informed debate and sensible management." Chapters include: What is a mink?; Finding mink: tracks and signs; Phylogeny, distribution and status; Adaptations to habit and habitat; Food and foraging; Lifestyle; Sex and society; Population biology; The fur trade; Interactions with man and other animals. .

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Recent analyses have shown that about a quarter of all mammal species are threatened with extinction. At the same time, the conservation movement is moving rapidly away from a traditional 'protectionist' approach to nature to a more integrated view of wildlife and landscape conservation. This volume provides the first review of modern conservation approaches as they relate to mammals. Bringing together both researchers and conservationists, it presents perspectives on issues including the role of mammals within the conservation movement, how priorities should be set and funds allocated within mammalian conservation and which techniques and approaches are likely to be most successful in conserving mammals in future. Beyond the focus on mammals, issues of broader conservation relevance are highlighted, including the integration of species- and biodiversity-approaches to conservation, the role of 'flagship species' and the need to develop holistic conservation models that relate to the broader context of society and government. The conservation movement is moving rapidly away from traditional "protectionist" approaches toward nature to more integrated views of wildlife and landscape conservation. This volume reviews modern conservation approaches as they relate to mammals. A team of researchers and conservationists provide focused perspectives on preservation, such as the role of mammals within the conservation movement, how priorities should be set, allocation of funds, and promising techniques and approaches for future mammal protection. In addition, issues of broader conservation relevance are highlighted, including the integration of species and biodiversity approaches, the role of "flagship species," and the need for holistic conservation models in the wider context of society and government.
