商品描述

This textbook provides basic quantitative models allowing researchers and decision makers to a) assess viability of threatened populations and evaluate the success of species reintroductions, b) estimate invasion abilities of alien species, c) evaluate the persistence of metapopulations subjected to habitat destruction and fragmentation, d) analyze policies and strategies for the sustainable harvesting of biological resources, and e) assess the course of human and nonhuman diseases and the possible containment measures.

Air and water pollution, overexploitation of renewable resources (e.g. marine fish stocks and forests), massive land-use change together with climate change impact the Earth biodiversity and impair the functioning of ecosystems. Globalization increases the risk of diffusion of alien species and new pathogens.

A panoply of numerical problems mainly based on real data from the ecological literature enables the reader to practice the presented modelling tools.

presented modelling tools.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本教科書提供基本的定量模型，讓研究者和決策者能夠 a) 評估受威脅族群的生存能力及評估物種重引入的成功性，b) 估算外來物種的入侵能力，c) 評估受到棲息地破壞和碎片化影響的元族群的持續性，d) 分析生物資源可持續採收的政策和策略，以及 e) 評估人類和非人類疾病的發展及可能的控制措施。

空氣和水污染、可再生資源的過度開採（例如海洋魚類資源和森林）、大規模的土地使用變化以及氣候變化影響地球的生物多樣性，並損害生態系統的功能。全球化增加了外來物種和新病原體擴散的風險。

一系列主要基於生態文獻中的真實數據的數值問題，使讀者能夠練習所呈現的建模工具。
