Tree Kangaroos

Tree Kangaroos: Science and Conservation, a volume in the Biodiversity of the World: Conservation from Genes to Landscapes series, provides an overview of tree kangaroos as a species and their relationship with humans. This exciting, interdisciplinary work on tree kangaroo science and conservation is divided into six major sections: (1) Tree kangaroo evolution, genetics, taxonomy, ecology and behavior, (2) Current and emerging threats, (3) Conservation programs in Australia and New Guinea, with an emphasis on human aspects, (4) The role of zoos in conservation, (5) Techniques and technologies of study, and (6) How to keep tree kangaroos and their landscape healthy.

This series includes titles focused on specific species or taxa across disciplinary boundaries and spatial scales--from genes to landscapes. Volumes are edited and written by prominent scholars and practitioners to illuminate and advance biodiversity science and conservation.

Tree Kangaroos: Science and Conservation, un volum din seria Biodiversitatea lumii: Conservarea de la gene la peisaje, ofera o imagine de ansamblu asupra cangurilor copacilor ca specie si a relatiei lor cu oamenii. Aceasta lucrare interesanta, interdisciplinara, despre stiinta si conservarea cangurului copacilor este impartita in sase sectiuni majore: (1) Evolutia cangurului copacului, genetica, taxonomia, ecologia si comportamentul, (2) Amenintarile actuale si emergente, (3) Programele de conservare in Australia si Nou Guineea, cu accent pe aspectele umane, (4) Rolul gradinilor zoologice in conservare, (5) Tehnici si tehnologii de studiu si (6) Cum sa pastram sanatos cangurii copacilor si peisajul lor. Aceasta serie include titluri axate pe specii specifice sau taxoni peste granite disciplinare si scale spatiale - de la gene la peisaje.
