Reviews

The value of this book is not simply that it provides a very comprehensive case study of feral pigs in the south-east Australian highlands, but that it provides an excellent examination of population and community ecology using a thorough case study of feral pigs, native birds and ecosystems for which there are very good data. ( Ecological Management & Restoration , 19 May 2014) To sum up then, here we have a very complex subject, presented in an excellent way, with plenty of figures to back up the points made. Though dry, the content really is superb, and I don't think anyone buying it will be disappointed. ( Zoo Biology , 1 November 2012)

In addition to wildlife managers, I would recommend Applied Population and Community Ecology: The Case of Feral Pigs in Australiato ecologists (and advanced scholars studying the discipline) that would appreciate the value of analyzing ecological data.
