Corridor Ecology,
By
This review is from: Corridor Ecology: The Science and Practice of Linking Landscapes for Biodiversity Conservation (Paperback)
I highly recommend Corridor Ecology for anyone who is interested in corridors, land fragmentation, and species conservation. It is the most comprehensive literature I have come across in terms of the role of corridors, corridor design and implementation. As a current graduate student working on a corridor project, this book has been incredibly helpful in planning my field work in ground truthing Least-Cost path corridors. Especially the chapter, Corridor Quality: Continuity, Composition, and Dimension. It has really helped me understand better how to evaluate potential corridors. My advisor has been so impressed with the book that she is going to order some for the library and a biodiversity center that is being set up at campus. I also feel that this would be an excellent text for conservation courses as it covers issues such as metapopulation theory, edge effects and focal species considerations. The book also covers issues and potential problems that need to be dealt with when designing a corridor, which is very valuable. I also think this would be a excellent source for land management agencies and the Department of Transportation to utilize. The authors do an excellent job in bringing together all aspect of corridor ecology by utilizing the most current literature, valuable study cases along with their incredible field and research experience.

Dry, Weak, and Un-inspiring,

This review is from: Corridor Ecology: The Science and Practice of Linking Landscapes for Biodiversity Conservation (Paperback)
I bought this sleeper for a project I was doing on connectivity and corridor analysis. It was very dry reading, a lot of dry fluff to be more exact.I let a Dr. I work with borrow it, he dropped it in the toilet by accident. I was given a gift card to rebuy it, but choose another book.
