Reihe: Topics in Biodiversity and Conservation
ISBN: 978-90-481-7743-1
Verlag: Springer Netherlands
The contributions in this volume are drawn from a wide range of countries and discuss diverse organism and habitat types. They collectively provide a snap-shot of the sorts of studies and actions being taken in Europe to address issues in biodiversity and conservation – topical examples that will make the volume especially valuable for use in conservation biology courses.
