The importance of behavioural studies in conservation biology

WJ Sutherland. Anim Behav. 1998 Oct.

Abstract

The exciting research developments in animal behaviour over the last two decades have had a negligible impact on conservation. I list 20 subjects in which the study of animal behaviour can make a significant contribution to conservation. Behaviour may in itself be worth conserving. I also suggest how behavioural ecologists could become more involved in conservation. Copyright 1998 The Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour.
