Rezension

From the reviews:
“The combined insights and disciplinary specialties of Barboza (Univ. of Alaska), Parker … and Hume (Univ. of Sydney, Australia) successfully meld to provide this unique resource for the wildlife scientist. … The use of simple, standard-format tables for calculation examples throughout the text provides the reader a welcome tool as well as familiar continuity. … References throughout are comprehensive, the writing style is seamless, and figures, photos, and tables are appropriate in number. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections.” (E. S. Dierenfeld, Choice, Vol. 47 (3), November, 2009)
