Conservation Biology: Evolution in Action

"Conservation Biology: Evolution in Action" by Scott P. Carroll (editor), Charles W. Fox (editor), published by Oxford University Press. The main goal of this book is to encourage and formalize the infusion of evolutionary thinking into mainstream conservation biology. It reviews the evolutionary foundations of conservation issues, and unifies conceptual and empirical advances in evolutionary conservation biology.
