Description

This volume presents results on selected taxa in the Himalayan region (mainly Nepal). The text pinpoints threats to their survival, existing gaps in our knowledge of the region, and ultimately discusses how to avoid extinction. Review From the reviews:“The book is well referenced throughout and exposes the reader to literature beyond what is presented in the empirical case studies. … Also useful are numerous good-quality photographs and maps, which allow the reader to put the case studies into appropriate context. … This book, therefore, appeals to multiple audiences … it is a useful starter and a suitable text for undergraduate or postgraduate students. … make a lasting contribution to conservation of Himalayan biodiversity in the face of rapid change.” (Shonil A. Bhagwat, Mountain Research and Development, Vol. 32 (3), August, 2012) From the Back Cover This book presents some results on selected taxa in the Himalayan region (mainly Nepal), pinpoints the threats to their survival and suggests ways how to avoid their extinction. Most chapters are based on graduate research projects – relatively long-term field studies. The data presented here can be a good source of updated information on the subject and will prove to be a very useful reference in future studies of Himalayan biodiversity. They also tend to pinpoint the existing gaps in our knowledge of this region. All the chapters are based on recent trends of biodiversity and conservation vision, so the book can be a potential alternative to the existing relatively older books with outdated vision and information. Its main goal, however, is to disseminate the information about biodiversity conservation problems in the Himalayan region among the people in the developed world. The book can serve as a good source of reference or even as a textbook for both graduate and undergraduate students in conservation biology and mountain ecology. About the Author Pavel Kindlmann is professor of ecology at the Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic and performs research on various aspects of biodiversity as the Head of the Biodiversity Research Centre, in the CzechGlobe - Global Change Research Centre, Academy of Sciences, in České Budějovice, Czech Republic. His main interests include population and metapopulation dynamics and life history strategies with a special emphasis on insect herbivores, their predators, and on the orchid family. He authored or edited several books on population systems, orchids and conservation biology and published about 100 scientific papers in prominent journals.
