Further, carrion consumption by scavengers, i.e. scavenging, supports key ecosystem functions and services such as recycling nutrients and energy, disposing of carcasses and regulating disease spread. Yet, unlike dead plant matter, dead animal decomposition has received little attention in the fields of ecology, wildlife conservation and environmental management, and as a result the management of carrion for maintaining biodiversity and functional ecosystems has been limited...This book addresses the main ecological patterns and processes relating to the generation and consumption of carrion both in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. It also discusses a number of conservation concerns and associated management issues, particularly regarding the increasing role of human-mediated carrion in ecosystems. Lastly, the book outlines future research lines in carrion ecology and management, and identifies the major challenges for scavengers and scavenging pr | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | 关键词 | Biodiversity conservation; Carcasses in wildlife management; Community ecology; Dead animal matter; Ecos | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-16501-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-16501-7Series ISSN 2366-8733 Series E-ISSN 2366-8741 | issn_series | 2366-8733 | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019 |
