Description
Book SynopsisThis fifth installment of The Year in Ecology and Conservation Biology continues this series’ outstanding reviews in diverse topics in ecology and conservation science and policy. Included are papers on protection of orangutans; environmental governmentality, economic corporations, and ecological ethics; impact of Nature on experience and cognitive and mental health; consequences of vulture population declines worldwide; ecology and management of white-tailed deer; controlling the spread of invasive plants; reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation; the boreal forest ecosystem; effects of organic farming on biodiversity and ecosystems; ecology of anopheles mosquitoes; ecology and conservation biology of avian malaria; and climate change and ecology of Artic vertebrates.

Trade Review“This special volume deserves a wider reading audience than ecologists and conservation researchers (for whom it is primarily intended). It should be read by all of us in environmental, pollution, and human ecology research. It offers most useful material to be discussed in classes on the interdisciplinary nature of environmental sciences.” (International Journal for Environment and Pollution, 1 June 2014)
