درباره این کتاب:
Pinnipeds are a fascinating group of
marine mammals that play a crucial role
as apex predators and sentinels of the
functioning and health of marine
ecosystems. They are found in the most
extreme environments from the Polar
regions to the tropics. Pinnipeds are
comprised of about 34 species, and of
those at least 25% live permanently in
tropical zones. This book reviews and
updates current research on the biology,
marine ecology, bio-monitoring, and
conservation of tropical pinniped
populations, including their behavior,
anthropogenic stressors, and health. It
also looks at challenges to be faced for
the conservation of tropical pinnipeds,
many of which are threatened species.
