多少个个体足以保证一个物种的长期生存?机会对人口结构和遗传变异的影响是什么?我们如何共同努力以确保可生存的人口?这些问题和其他问题都在这本优秀的小书中进行了探讨。它侧重于理论,特别是可行性分析的各个方面,尽管有一个案例研究,也有机构间活动的例子。就像在任何一本书中一样,读者可以找到支持他们已有观点的段落,但从整体上看,这本书提供了相当大的平衡。这位编辑承认,在某些地方,他是在表达自己的个人偏好。其他作者强调,保护生物学中的许多决定应该属于整个社区,而不仅仅是本书主要针对的科学家。
Abstract How many individuals are enough to ensure long term survival of a species? What are the effects of chance on demographic structure and genetic variability? How can we work together to ensure viable populations? These questions and others are explored in this excellent little book. It concentrates on theory, especially aspects of viability analysis, although there is a case study, and also examples of interagency activities. As in any book, readers can find passages that support their pre-existing views, but taken as a whole this one provides considerable balance. The editor admits that in places he is arguing for his personal preference. Other authors stress that many decisions in conservation biology rightly belong to the community and not just the scientists for whom this book is primarily intended.
