This book applies the basic principles of nutrition to the study
of fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals in their natural environments.
The acquisition of food, its digestion and absorption, and the
retention and utilization of energy substrates, water and other
nutrients are treated in detail. This integrated approach connects
behavioral, morphological, and biochemical traits of animals to their
life histories and their responses to variable and changing
environments. The authors also provide a practical framework for
understanding the interactions between food resources and wildlife
populations, and for managing the harvest of abundant species and the
conservation of threatened populations. "Integrative Wildlife
Nutrition" provides a general reference work for students and
professionals in animal physiology and ecology, conservation biology,
and wildlife management. Lecturers can use this text for wildlife and
conservation biology programs and as a reference source for related
courses in animal ecology.
