Through a series of case histories, this unique volume illustrates the methodology and problems of population work with mammals. The contributors consider a broad range of techniques for estimating and monitoring population size of both land and marine mammals, and discuss methods for predicting their change. The difficulty of relating population dynamics to disease and to environmental change is also examined. Among the animals covered are rare and endangered species, and groups that are regarded as vectors of human disease.
