This book, the first in the "WildlifeResearch Monograph" series, defines "wildlife research" in a variety ofcontexts and reviews recent research trends. The authors present the currentdevelopments they have identified using bibliometric analyses of the mostcommon, relevant and emerging topics in wildlife research over the last three decades. Diverse aspects of wildlife research are discussed, including wildlifedemography, infections spread between wildlife, livestock and humans, habitatrequirements and management, as well as the effects of renewable energy andpollutants on wildlife. Furthermore the authors explore topics like advances inthe study of species distribution, invasive species, use of molecular markersin wildlife studies and the sustainability of wildlife exploitation andconservation conflicts. The book offers a comprehensive overview of advances inwildlife research in the last decades.

Summary
This book, the first in the “Wildlife
Research Monograph” series, defines “wildlife research” in a variety of
contexts and reviews recent research trends. The authors present the current
developments they have identified using bibliometric analyses of the most
common, relevant and emerging topics in wildlife research over the last three decades. Diverse aspects of wildlife research are discussed, including wildlife
demography, infections spread between wildlife, livestock and humans, habitat
requirements and management, as well as the effects of renewable energy and
pollutants on wildlife. Furthermore the authors explore topics like advances in
the study of species distribution, invasive species, use of molecular markers
in wildlife studies and the sustainability of wildlife exploitation and
conservation conflicts. The book offers a comprehensive overview of advances in
wildlife research in the last decades.
