Conservation and Behaviour

摘要: Conservation behaviour is an area of conservation biology particularly suited to investigate problems species endangerment associated with managing animals in fragmented habitats and isolated parks. It employs a theoretical framework that examines the mechanisms, development, function phylogeny behavioural variation order develop practical tools for preventing extinction. This can be used attract suitable habitat, restore migratory movements, identify individual reproductive strategies affecting focus protection on most susceptible The future success requires behaviourists link processes determine population viability. Key concepts Animal will require active management. Behavioural must examined from four perspectives (mechanisms, ontogeny, adaptive function, phylogeny) simultaneously. Behavioural change as habitat populations are altered, those changes could harm viability. Animal participate planning protect biodiversity.
