by Gibbons, E.F.; Durrant, B.S.; Demarest, J. (Eds)

Series : SUNY Series in Endangered Species
Publisher : SUNY Press
Published In : Albany

Description:

A comprehensive study of the developing science of ex-situ conservation, bringing together specialists in genetics, reproductive biology, veterinary medicine, behaviour and captive management. Covering endangered species from invertebrates and fishes to birds, primates and other mammals, the work reflects the transformation during the late twentieth century of captive breeding from traditional zoo husbandry into a scientifically coordinated work on species conservation and recovery programmes.
