Sobre IBD

The emphasis on biodiversity has increased in the past few decades. Biodiverse species occupy a vast portion of the earth’s ecosystem. This book on biodiversity enrichment in a changing world discusses the strategies and programs adopted by organizations and projects around the world for diversity enhancement, wildlife conservation and forest management. Studies enumerating the ecological, rather than economic aspects emphasizes the changing interaction between the wildlife-urban continuums. A number of latest researches have been included to keep the readers up-to-date with the global concepts in this area of study. The book will serve as a reference text to ecologists, environmentalists, conservationists, researchers, academicians and students engaged in this field.

    Ana Isabel Pereira Cardoso / Teresinha M. Gonçalves
    Life in cities has distanced human beings from nature and made it difficult to understand the ecology of life dependent on the environment. Urban water collection and distribution processes contribute significantly to the fragmentation of knowledge and the vital recognition of the water cycle. Without the effective participation of the subject in environmental actions, it is no...

  • Modeling Populations of Adaptive Individuals
    Bret C. Harvey / Steven F. Railsback
    Ecologists now recognize that the dynamics of populations, communities, and ecosystems are strongly affected by adaptive individual behaviors. Yet until now, we have lacked effective and flexible methods for modeling such dynamics. Traditional ecological models become impractical with the inclusion of behavior, and the optimization approaches of behavioral ecology cannot be use...
