The last few years have seen a major rethinking of some of the hallowed assumptions of range ecology and range management practice. This book examines the management of policy implications of this new ecological thinking for pastoral development in dryland areas. With examples drawn from all over Africa, the contributors examine the consequences of living with uncertainty for pastoral development planning, range and fodder management, drought responses, livestock marketing, resource tenure, institutional development and pastoral administration.

The study of how fish make and respond to sound has important implications for communication, physiology, behavior, and commercial techniques. Fish Bioacoustics, a new definitive volume on fish auditory systems, will interest investigators in both basic research of fish bioacoustics as well as investigators in applied aspects of fisheries and resource management. Topics cover structure, physiology, localization, and acoustic behavior as well as more applied topics such as using sound to detect and locate fish. Contents: Introduction to Fish Bioacoustics Richard R. Fay, Arthur N. Popper, and Jacqueline F. Webb Hearing and Acoustic Behavior (Basic and Applied) Arthur N. Popper and Carl R. Schilt Structures and Functions of the Auditory Nervous System of Fishes Richard R. Fay and Peggy L. Edds-Walton Evolution of Peripheral Mechanisms for the Enhancement of Sound Reception Christopher B. Braun and Terry Grande Bioacoustics and the Lateral Line of Fishes Jacqueline F. Webb, John Montgomery, and Joachim Mogdans Orientation to Auditory and Lateral Line Stimuli Olav Sand and Horst Bleckmann Multipole Mechanisms for Directional Hearing in Fish Peter H. Rogers and David G. Zeddies Vocal-Acoustic Communication: From Neurons to Behavior Andrew H. Bass and Friedrich Ladich Active and Passive Acoustics to Locate and Study Fish David A. Mann, Anthony D. Hawkins, and J. Mike Jech About the editors: Jacqueline F. Webb is Professor of Biological Sciences, and Coordinator of the Marine Biology Program, at the University of Rhode Island, Kingston. Richard R. Fay is Director of the Parmly Hearing Institute and Professor of Psychology at Loyola University of Chicago. Arthur N. Popper is Professor in the Department of Biology and Co-Director of the Center for Comparative and Evolutionary Biology of Hearing at the University of Maryland, College Park. About the series: The Springer Handbook of Auditory Research presents a series of synthetic reviews of fundamental topics dealing with auditory systems. Each volume is independent and authoritative; taken as a set, this series is the definitive resource in the field.

Mike Alexander’s Management Planning for Nature Conservation brings a new dimension to the modern literature on conservation management. Combining key theories with real practice it fills a critical gap which has often hindered in-depth understanding of the planning process. The book provides historical and rational background which helps to explain what makes a really effective management plan, and it presents a detailed practical guide to developing such a plan. It concludes with a series of case studies which clearly illustrate the underlying principles drawn out in the text, while highlighting the different approaches demanded by very different sites. Drawing on the expertise of leaders in both conservation research and wildlife management, and with a combined experience from around the world, this book is essential reading for professional conservation managers and any student studying management planning for conservation within a range of degree and postgraduate courses. The book will be equally important for those attending professional training programmes and courses for practitioners in the statutory and voluntary environment and wildlife conservation sector. Mike Alexander has been at the forefront of developing systems and methods in the field of management planning for conservation, with experience ranging from Uganda to Estonia, and from Costa Rica to Wales. He was a member of the team responsible for developing the current management planning guidelines for the international Ramsar (Convention on Wetlands) sites located around the world.
