Note(s) : Notes bibliogr. Index
"Decomposition and recycling of vertebrate remains have been understudied, hampered
largely due to these processes being aesthetically challenging (e.g. smell and sight).
Technological innovations have provided the means to explore new and historically
understood natural systems to give us a plethora of new information. Carrion Ecology,
Evolution, and Their Applications covers a broad spectrum of topics including the
molecular mechanistic foundations that provide the basis for intra- and interspecific
interactions related to population biology, community ecology, and how this manifests
into habitat- and ecosystem-level importance. The book connects the science of carrion
decomposition from genes to ecosystems in multidisiplinary synthesis of the science.
This book brings together a team of global experts involved with measuring and understanding
the process and effects of carrion ecology in nature, with special application in
such applied fields as forensic entomology, habitat management, animal production
(e.g. livestock and aquaculture), and human and environmental health. It fills a large
literature gap in ecology, providing a synthesis and future directions important for
studies of carrion decomposition that improve the general understanding of decomposition
in ecosystems. The book fuses multiple disciplines into a single message explaining
the importance of vertebrate carrion ecology in nature."--Back cover
